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.

Plots and sprigged muslin aside, the author’s enduring legacy also lies in her relevance as a foil for modern mores

Happy birthday to Jane Austen!
(Through magnificent and serendipitous synchronicity, it's also Jane Austen's birthday. Cheers love!)

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.
