EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning ball dress, dating back to 1823, is a beautiful example of Regency-era fashion. The dress is believed to be made of a white transparent fabric, delicately layered over a blue slip. The deep embroidery adorning the hem, sleeves, and neckline adds an exquisite touch of romance to the ensemble. The intricate plaiting and coiling of the embroidery creates a mesmerizing visual effect, drawing the eye to the dress's graceful lines. The wearer of this dress accessorized it with a fashionable comb, likely made of tortoiseshell or another precious material, and a delicate scarf. A fan, not visible in the photograph, would have been an essential accessory for any Regency-era woman attending a grand ball. The deep neckline of the dress, a popular trend during the Regency period, accentuated the elegance of the wearer's décolletage. The sleeves, long and delicate, added a feminine touch to the overall design. The history of this dress is as intriguing as its appearance. The intricate embroidery and fine fabric suggest that it was owned by a woman of means, someone who could afford the luxury of such an elaborate garment. The dress's preservation through the centuries is a testament to its enduring beauty and the importance of fashion history. This photograph, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grand balls, elegant gowns, and the romance of the Regency era.
