1804 Buff Cashmere Gloves Interesting Muslin Neck Regency Shawl Sleeve Waist Warm
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable woman from the Regency era, dressed in a stunning white muslin walking dress from the year 1804. The dress features a V-neckline, high waist, and intricately designed sleeves that add an air of elegance and sophistication. The high waistline and full skirt of the dress were popular during the Empire period, while the V-neckline and off-shoulder sleeve detailing were characteristic of the early 19th century. To keep warm against the chill, she wraps herself in a luxurious red cashmere shawl, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic outfit. The shawl not only serves as a practical accessory but also complements the red flowers adorning her obi hat. The obi hat, a traditional Japanese headpiece, adds a unique touch to the Regency-inspired ensemble. The woman completes her look with a pair of buff gloves and carries a fan in her hand, both essential accessories for ladies during this era. The overall effect is one of refined beauty and timeless elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era of grace and style. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion and the artistry of the past. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of Regency-era attire and the role it played in shaping women's fashion throughout history.
