Description
Fashion in the Time of Jane Austen explores the pivotal moment in fashion history that was the Regency period, 1795-1820. This era saw a significant shift away from traditional court dress and towards a more fluid, season-by-season approach to fashion.
The influence of this time on fashion is still felt today, with many designers drawing inspiration from the radical new ideas and cultural exchange that took place during this period. Sarah Jane Downing delves into the world of Regency fashion, revealing how it was shaped by the social and cultural upheaval of the time.
