Costume of a woman of Saint Aubin, near Dieppe. Looking at this figure one realizes why the women of Normandy are fond of the bridle that is part of almost all their bonnets - it shows the full face and complements the skin color. Hand-colored fashion plate illustration by Lante engraved by Gatine from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," 1827/1885. With their tall Alsation lace hats, the women of Caux and Normandy were famous for the elegance and style.
