EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases a fashionable woman of the Regency era, dressed in a costume that embodies the elegance and grace of the 1816 season. The central piece of her outfit is a straw bonnet, boasting a high, rounded crown that adds volume and sophistication to her look. The bonnet is adorned with a delicate white percale ruff, which frames her face and adds a touch of refinement. The woman wears a white percale robe, which was a popular choice for daytime wear during this period. The robe features elegant tucks on the cuffs, bodice, and hem, adding texture and visual interest to the outfit. The bodice is fitted and enhances the woman's figure, while the hem falls just above the ankles, revealing a chemisette layer underneath. The chemisette, a thin, short-sleeved undergarment, would have provided additional support and coverage, while allowing the robe to drape gracefully over it. The woman completes her ensemble with a sash tied in a bow at the waist, adding a feminine touch to the outfit. The percale fabric used for the robe and ruff was a popular choice during the Regency era due to its crisp texture and ability to hold its shape. This glazed cloth was also breathable, making it an ideal choice for the warm weather of the time. Overall, this costume represents the height of fashion in 1816, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the Regency era.
