A single hand-colored fashion plate from Godey's Lady's Book and Magazine, April 1845. It shows six women in a parlor with draped curtains, wearing a range of day and evening dresses, including a pale blue dress with a lace shawl and blue headscarf and a dark navy dress seen from behind. The plate has no legible text and is useful as a reference for American women's fashion of the mid-1840s.
