Robes Modèles Historiques: Castillane

29th plate of album with 60 19th-century costume plates and 1 drawing of mostly women's historical costumes, featuring a variety of designs for traditional costumes from different parts of the world, as well as costumes for literary characters, including Esmeralda. This plate consists of a costume for a Castilian Lady, made up of a black taille with golden emrboideries on the neck and shoulders, and a pink dress, with the skirt decorated by two layers of white fabric tied diagonally around the waist, with borders with seamless patterns of lozenges and hanging pompoms, all of gold color, one of them over yellow fabric, the other one over pink. A black belt, tied diagonally around her hips, lies above the white fabric, and is bordered by small pompoms of gold color. She wears her hair in a side-braid, and it is decorated by a black lace Peineta, from which hangs a black lace Mantilla behind her back and over one of her shoulders. She holds the white flounces of her skirt on one hand, with a golden beaded bracelet around the wrist, and the other rests, decorated with white pearl bracelets, on her hip. Several additional strings of white pearls decorate her neck, and a pink flower decorates the beginning of her braid, behid her ear. Her legs are dressed with white stockings and her feet with black low-heeled slippers with pink rosettes.
