Regency Fashion Plate

Cabrio4 sells Regency fashion plates on EBay. This seller features plates we have seen online before (usually the Ackermann fashion plates), but also rare images that rarely see the light of day. Take this 1799 image of three fashionable ladies, for example.

1799 London walking dresses, from Fashions of London and Paris

Here is the description:

A very scarce plate from Richard Phillips' 'Fashions of London and Paris' featuring London Walking Dress from June 1799.

This was a very rare publication, which ran from 1798 to around 1810 and during that time published a series of very distinctive fashion plates, many of which were drawn by Adam Buck. Others were lifted straight from 'Journals des Dames et des Modes' (the Parisan side of the plates).

Regency Fashion, A Video

This video is ten minutes long, but worth watching. Enjoy the sight of uncommonly beautiful clothes and the sound of music: from the Soundtracks of "Coco Avant Chanel" by Alexandre Desplat., "Clair De Lune" by Debussy, "Avril 14th" by Aphex Twin, "Opus 36" by Dustin O' Halloran.

Lace Parasols to Complete Your Regency Dress

The Lace Parasol Place sells BattenburgLace and other lace parasols that we have seen Regency reenactors carry to complete their beautiful regency era costumes, as in the image below of a young lady who participated in the Jane Austen Festival in Bath. The parasols are remarkably affordable!
