Following the fashion / Js. Gy. desn. et fect.

Print shows two women, one tall and pretty, except for her grotesque slimness, the other short, fat, and ugly, wear burlesqued versions of the new fashion. Each walks, holding a glove in the (gloved) right hand, a nosegay in the left hand. Under each is a supplementary title: (left) 'St James's giving the Ton, a Soul without a Body'; (right) 'Cheapside aping the Mode, a Body without a Soul'. The former has a tiny waist, her breasts, lightly covered, project above it. Round her neck is a swathing connected with inflated puffs on her tight sleeves; her form is defined under the limp skirt. Another swathing seems to fasten a high straw scoop-like hat under her chin which shows her hair piled above her forehead. This is trimmed with an erect ostrich feather and a brush-aigrette. She wears sharply pointed slippers. The other lady is broad and squat and her feather, aigrette, and nosegay are much larger than those of her fashionable model.
