Artist: Anonymous. Published: S. W. Fores. After the title: 'NB the next Step it is thought will be into Straigh [sic] Waistcoats.' Four women in a well-furnished room wear dresses with narrow skirts tightly defining their posteriors; all wear flat slippers with cross-gartering. On the right a handsome woman with heavy hips in back view admires her righteflection in a pier-glass. A very fat woman stoops towards a barking lap-dog, unconscious of a vast rent across her massive rump; she says: "I like this fashion vastly its quite easy, and there's plenty of room." An elderly and scraggy woman stoops to tie her shoe, placing her foot on a foot-stool; her bony knee has burst through her skirt. She says: "Bless me these Dress makers don't give a body room to move, I'm not so very big neither." The fourth, her back to the others, faces the door (right) and a young man just outside it, also fashionably dressed. She raises her right foot slightly, as far as her skirt permits, saying, "go along you impertinent fellow, I have a great mind to kick your bottom." He points at her skirt, answering, "Aye! but you can't you'll burst if you do." Description from the British Museum.
