Here we have a Early Georgian couple in their finest apparel.   The gentleman's costume consists of a pair of dupion silk breeches, with an elaborately patterned silk waistcoat befitting the period.  The beautifully decorated coat shows his wealth.  His good lady has a highly decorated over dress in dupion silk, with lace trims, this shows that her husband is a well to do gentleman.  She also shows her love for her husband by wearing an underdress matching his waistcoat.  Both bears are in cashmere.
