An accessible, fun, yet authoritative guide to male and female Regency fashions

A Guide to Regency Dress is an illustrated guide to fashions and clothing of the Regency era-a period of British history between the late, revolutionary years of the eighteenth century, flowing into the turbulent and changeable early nineteenth century.

Employing straightforward entries, Hilary Davidson utilises years of close study and original sources to offer an accessible, practical introduction to all things Regency dress and bring this era to life. She includes areas of adornment such as hair, beauty, and jewellery, the textiles and trimmings essential to creating clothing, as well as typical pieces of the period, such as muslin gowns, high waistlines, tight breeches, and well-cut coats, which continue to inspire fashion to this day. A Guide to Regency Dress makes it simple for anyone to look up a particular style or garment.
