Regency Femme and Her Baby Carrier

I am researching Regency riding habits so that I can make my own. The Regency era was one of the few historical periods that featured empire style lines rather than the wasp-waisted fashions of other periods--a distinct advantage when one does not have a waistline so much as an equator. I thought you might enjoy the following fashion plate from Vernet's Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1805, that illustrates what the well dressed femme does with her baby.
