EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and grace of Regency-era fashion as depicted in a print of a Hyde Park Parade Dress from 1808. The fashionable woman, dressed in the height of winter style, dons a crimson pelisse and toque, both trimmed with ermine fur, over a white muslin dress. The crimson slippers and tan gloves add a touch of contrast and completeness to the ensemble. The pelisse, a short, fitted coat with a long, full skirt, was a popular choice for winter promenading in Hyde Park. The toque, a type of turban, was often worn with pelisses and added an air of sophistication and warmth. The ermine trim, a symbol of luxury and status, was a common adornment for such garments. The woman in the print gracefully points towards the direction of the park, likely indicating her intention to take a leisurely stroll among the scenic surroundings. Her elegant posture and regal bearing exude confidence and refinement, making for a truly captivating sight. The print, dated 1808, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and the importance of appearances in Regency society. The intricate details of the dress, the elegant accessories, and the woman's poised demeanor all contribute to a captivating image that transports us back in time to an era of opulence and elegance.
