The style persisted until the 1820s when the waist slowly lowered and the skirts became more bell shaped.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"264\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1810_Dress_American_Cottonandsilk_TwoLayeredfrillonhem_FrontView_metmuseum_Final_watermark.jpg\" alt=\"1810 Dress, American.
