EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the Regency era, specifically between 1815 and 1820. The image features an elegant ensemble worn by a woman, showcasing the fashion trends of the French and German courts during this period. At the center of the costume is a cut-away coat, a popular style for men during this time, but here adapted for women. The coat is worn over a white dress with a full, voluminous skirt, and a pelisse, a long, hip-length jacket, adorned with mancherons, or long, flowing sleeves. The pelisse is also trimmed with intricate lace and embroidery, adding to its regal appearance. The woman in the photograph is also wearing a bonnet, a must-have accessory for women during this era. Her hair is styled in ringlets, a popular hairstyle of the time. Completing the look are pantalettes, or short, frilly undergarments, and white trousers, which were becoming more fashionable for women to wear beneath their dresses. The presence of a lyre in the photograph adds an intriguing element to the scene. Music was an essential part of Regency society, and the lyre was a popular instrument for both men and women to play. The woman in the photograph may be preparing to perform, or simply enjoying the music in her surroundings. This photograph is a valuable source of historical information, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the Regency era. The intricate details of the costume, from the cut of the coat to the profusely trimmed hemlines, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Whether used for research, education, or simply for appreciation, this photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of the past.
