Summer 2007 Issue 1

Welcome the first edition of this free quarterly e-magazine, containing articles and news about fashion in the age of Jane Austen. This issue will contain information about the day fashions of the 1790s, a favourite period of mine, as it depicts the transition between the roccoco and regency styles. The variations which are therefore seen in cut and fabric can be quite suprising and particularly interesting.

In this edition:

  • » 1790 day dress: revolution in fashion

  • » Pattern reviews for 1790s fashion

  • » How to make a 1790s ensemble

  • » Fashion in Jane's letters of the 1790s

  • » Going to the ball: Events

  • Pemberley Designs - links of interest

  • » 1795-1800 (Half/Open) Robe

  • » The History of the Open Robe

  • » Underwear

The next edition, 'Fashion in Film', will be released 10/11/07
