"A satire on high-waisted dresses. A lady (left) stands holding an infant in a long robe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8897). She wears a round hat of masculine shape trimmed with three small feathers. Her dress hangs in straight folds from a line across, or above, her breast; behind appears the end of a train. Beside her stands a lady in back view: a transparent curtain veil hangs from her small hat. Her dress and a loose train held over the right arm hang from the shoulders. A stone wall forms a dark background to the light figures. See British Museum Satires No. 8896, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
