Evening dress, American, c. 1820

The MET Museum

"The puffing is a rare intricate feature executed completely by hand and shows the typical decoration locations of this period, with shoulder and hem details. The one surviving long sleeve indicates the dress could be worn with or without sleeves to suit the occasion and the weather."

the unspeakable crimes I would commit for a funny lighthearted spicy lesbian regency romance with at least somewhat of a happy ending…

edit: everyone recommending books, you have my eternal love and gratitude, and please keep recommending them, but I meant on screen

Fantasy Fashion: Regency

The Regency was a period of English history when the young Prince George ruled on his father's behalf. This was a time for change in the world. And fashion. This is the time of Jane Austen.

The Empire Gown.

These gowns were gathered at the waist or under the boobs. The skirt was light and flowing. Everything echoes gowns of greek goddesses. These were usually made from muslin or lawn.

Pantaloons

The underwear of the gown. Most times They were flesh coloured to not show through the gown of the lady.

Gloves

Regency ladies lived their gloves. Long white silk ones or short ones. Gloves were in place to cover the necessary parts of the skin. If your dress was short sleeved, you have a long pair of gloves.

Bonnets

Usually woven from straw. Ladies could adorn them in whatever fashion they liked. Worn outside mostly.

Shawls

Became fashionable during the Regency. These shawls were light material and worn if outside or chilled.
