The new book A Guide To Regency Dress has so! many! images! I'm nearly done, but keep getting distracted by more juicy details of dress and textiles I want to share. I've found an excellent illustration of the much rarer male Spencer, for example, and can show you what gros de Tours fabric was.

Some new book updates! It's going to be called A Guide To Regency Dress: From Corsets and Breeches to Bonnets and Muslins. Out October in the UK and worldwide, November in the US. It's full of images I've never used in the previous books, and some that have never been published.

Took advantage of the email drop off to finally add the most recent batch of #C18th patterns onto my website. There are now 269 originally needlework designs freely available on the Lady's Magazine website: ladysmagazine.omeka.net Rather fond of this gentleman's neck handkerchief...

A scalloped edged, triangular design for a gentleman's neck handkerchief featuring stylised leaves.

16. #BTPPAdventCalendar It's HEEEEE-EEEERRRRRRREEEE!!!!!!! The one, the only, the iconic, the emblematic scene of this and all other Austen adaptations; 'the scene that changed everything', as the BBC called it. And we're gonna deep dive (ha!) into it.

It's got very chilly here in New York, so in the interests of keeping others feeling cosy, please enjoy this piece on Jane Austen and Christmas I wrote in 2019 when the first book Dress in the Age of Jane Austen was published. yalebooksblog.co.uk/2019/12/11/j...
