Description
Note:
This gown embodies the essence of Regency-era fashion through its layered design and carefully considered details. The underdress, dyed a rich purple, displays the close-fitting sleeves characteristic of the early 19th century, edged to reflect the subtle elegance prized by society of the time. Draped over this is a crimson jacket top with open sleeves, crafted to allow ease of movement and create a flowing silhouette. It fastens at the front with hand-sewn black frogs,an ornamental closure frequently found on period garments. While constructed from a modern polyester blend, the gown’s cut and adornments honor the styles worn during grand indoor assemblies and outdoor promenades of the Regency period.
