Walking Dress – 1825

Historical promenade attire and back-view garment structure

This nineteenth-century fashion engraving features a rare rear perspective of a lady in a formal promenade dress, labeled as ‘Trage de Paseo’. The ensemble consists of a slate grey or muted blue gown with a high waist and a row of decorative buttons running down the center back of the bodice. The skirt falls in clean, elongated pleats, capturing the transitional silhouette between the Regency era and early Victorian design trends.

Classic nineteenth century outdoor accessories and millinery

The colored plate emphasizes essential outdoor historical pieces, showcasing a large straw bonnet adorned with translucent white veils and dark ribbons. The standing figure holds an ornate parasol with a contrasting pink lining and a green exterior fabric, which serves as a key visual anchor for researchers studying historical sun protection accessories and European tailored sportswear of the period.
