In this impressive work, Davidson unpicks the sartorial history of a time that underwent sweeping change and reveals the intimacies of the physical self in examining what Regency women and men wore throughout the day and night, from stays and starched collars to nightcaps, morning dresses, walking shoes and evening gowns.
Dress in the Age of Jane Austen is a delightful read for any Janeite or fashion and textile enthusiast.
Once our finalists were selected, we turned it over to our Facebook followers to make the final decision.
We are so excited to share that the first of the two winning designs is available now! The Miranda Mary Jane is vintage styling, infused with modern flair, for a sweet and sassy pump that'll never go out of style.
Davidson clarifies favourite Regency legends: the average lady would not have dampened her muslin gowns to make them cling to her curves, nor would she have cast aside her stays.
Fans voted for their favorite design in each age group, resulting in our two winners, Evelyn age 7 and Tristan age 12.
