Frilly Fair Maidens

I love these line drawings and hand colored fashion plates from the 1800's. The ladies are so frilly and over decorated like pieces of candy or delicate flowers. They are from the Romantic (1820-1850) fashion period and the early Victorian (1830-1890) period.

There is a beauty to them just because they were colored by hand before being distributed in magazines. They didn't have the fancy printing presses we have today.
