A woman dressed in a dark and light blue striped caraco; a little red border goes all around it, made of a galloon braid; petticoat of white satin with a wide, light blue border. On her shoulders, instead of a mantelet, an English handkerchief called a Manteau, which has a yellow ground and pretty red and blue designs. On her neck is a white gauze neck-handkerchief.On her head, a white felt hat embroidered with silver around the middle. This hat is surmounted by a white aigrette; a blue ribbon seems to play like a serpent in the woman’s hair.2. A man dressed in a black wool coat à la Revolution. This wool is woven with narrow stripes (or ribs). The coat is trimmed with superb steel buttons, cut in a diamond shape.Waistcoat of scarlet cashmere; yellow cashmere breeches; white silk stockings; wide cravat, puffed over the jabot, which is extremely large and well pleated. A diamond pin in the jabot holds the head high, and gives this man an air of resolution. Large coiffure with big curls, a little flattened on the top of the head..Note. It is equally fashionable to wear this outfit with black cashmere breeches and black silk stockings. -- source link
