- "A companion print to BMSat 6874. A number of ladies wearing enormous hats and inflated petticoats as in BMSat 6874, are being, or have been, fitted with the puffed-out gauze cages which made the fashionable silhouette (the 'fortification bosom') project extravagantly at the breast. Some, with breasts exposed, wait to be fitted. A thin lady on the extreme left looks at herself in an oval wall-mirror, while the fitter arranges her dress; another advances, holding a large pair of balloon-like pads. One with an enormous projection beneath her chin is about to leave the room by a door on the extreme right, she looks round with a triumphant smile. All wear hats with enormous brims, some circular, some drooping and bonnet-shaped. A gigantic circular hat, larger than an umbrella, is suspended from the centre of the ceiling. In the foreground a dog, its hind-quarters shaved, and long thick hair on its neck and chest, burlesques the fashion."--British Museum online catalogue
