#throwback to our #2018 #regency #christmas #miniature reproduction of an #extant ca. 1797 #roundgown in the #danishnationalmuseum worn over a #chemisette and a #petticoat based on an extant example from the #oregonregencysociety The chemisette in an improvised #barbie #silkstone blouse. The striped green and pale gold silk taffeta sash, and the hairstyle were taken from the @americanduchess Guide. It's the best imitation of a 1797 hair I could do in 1/6 scale without the aid of a wig. #1790s #georgian #janeausten #americanduchessguide #18thcentury #historicalsewing #historicsewing #historiccostuming #historicalcostuming #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCgCTdh_2z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x5x1akzxppyg

Robe and Dress | c.1790s The fullest merger of old and new is represented in this dress. The form of the surrounding robe is open, and even the neckline could seem to be decades earlier. But the textile design has been subdued, and the lighter taffeta robe is paired with a white petticoat for an effect that resembles neoclassicism emerging from the chrysalis of the ancien régime. #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #costume #costumedesign #costumehistory #historicfashion #historyoffashion #historicalfashion #whattheywore #roundgown #metmuseum

Round Gown | c.1790 . . . The #Merveilleuses scandalized Paris with dresses and tunics modeled after the ancient Greeks and Romans, cut of light or even transparent linen and gauze. Sometimes so revealing they were termed "woven air", many gowns displayed cleavage and were too tight to allow pockets. To carry even a handkerchief, the ladies had to use small bags known as reticules.[3] They were fond of wigs, often choosing blonde because the Paris Commune had banned blonde wigs, but they also wore them in black, blue, and green. Enormous hats, short curls like those on Roman busts, and Greek-style sandals were the rage. The sandals tied above the ankle with crossed ribbons or strings of pearls. Exotic and expensive scents fabricated by perfume houses like Parfums Lubin were worn as both for style and as indicators of social station. Thérésa Tallien, known as "Our Lady of Thermidor", wore expensive rings on the toes of her bare feet and gold circlets on her legs. #BastilleDay #FrenchRevolution #stripes #vivelafrace #🇫🇷 #fashionhistory #costume #costumehistory #18thcenturystyle #18thcenturyfashion #historicalfashion #historicfashion #whattheywore #stylehistory #frenchfashion #lafêtenationale #le14juillet #roundgown #libertéégalitéfraternité #lacma (at Bastille)
