"Four ladies stand displaying burlesques of the most recent fashions; their dresses all hang from a line slightly below the neck and, though varying in length, display the ankles. That of a very fat lady has a globular contour. The sleeves, all long, vary considerably; two have large puffs to the elbow. Hats and hairdressing are also satirized, showing the fashion for hair hanging down the back, or falling on the shoulders and looped up. Bunches of straw (see BMSat 8756) trim two of the hats. The slippers are heelless or low-heeled. A lady (left) whose dress reaches only to the calves and defines her legs, wears cross-gartered stockings, imitating the French shoes 'en cothurne'"--British Museum online catalogue
