EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a selection of fashionable entries from a Ladies Own Memorandum Book dating back to the late 18th century, around 1790. The Ladies Own Memorandum Book was a popular accessory for women of the Georgian and Regency eras, serving as a personal diary and a fashion guide in one. The pages were filled with illustrations of the latest trends, providing inspiration and guidance for dressing with elegance and style. The illustrations in this print showcase a variety of fashionable attire for women of the time. In the foreground, a lady is depicted wearing a tall, elegant hat adorned with a large, cascading bow and a pair of feathers. Another lady wears a bonnet with a delicate veil and a bouquet of flowers, while a third lady dons an exotic turban, adding a touch of exoticism to her outfit. The fashion for dresses during this period favored a slim silhouette, achieved through the use of corsets and panniers. The dresses were often decorated with intricate patterns and textures, such as stripes, polka dots, and floral designs. The sleeves were long and bell-shaped, and the skirts were full and voluminous. The hats and bonnets of the time were equally important accessories, often featuring elaborate decorations such as ribbons, feathers, and flowers. The veils added an air of mystery and allure, while the turbans added a touch of exoticism and adventure. This Ladies Own Memorandum Book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion during the late 18th century, providing a window into the styles and trends that defined this iconic era. Whether used as a source of inspiration for modern-day fashion enthusiasts or as a historical record of the past, this Ladies Own Memorandum Book remains a captivating and intriguing artifact from a bygone era.
