Description: "The Graces in a High Wind", a satirical engraving by James Gillray (published 1810). This caricatures the loosely-clinging Empire/Regency styles, worn with few layers of stiffening petticoats. Many people alive in 1810 would have well remembered the rigid styles of the 1770s, which went to the opposite extreme. For larger color scan, see File:The graces in a high wind by James Gillray.jpg.
