1801 Fragrant Gown Gowns Morning Muslin Regency Ruff Shawl Sniff Spencer Straw Veil Wear Worn
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image from 1801 captures the essence of morning elegance during the Regency era. Two ladies, dressed in morning dresses made of printed muslin, bask in the early sunlight. The white gown on the left boasts a voluminous skirt, a high waistline, and a ruff at the neckline, typical of the Empire style. The pink gown on the right, also featuring a full skirt and high waist, is adorned with delicate floral patterns, adding a touch of fragrance and femininity to the scene. Both ladies complete their ensembles with straw hats, shielding them from the sun, and veils, adding an air of modesty and refinement. The white-gowned lady wears a spencer, a short jacket, over her gown, while the pink-gowned lady drapes a shawl around her shoulders for added warmth and comfort. The ladies' demeanor exudes a sense of tranquility and enjoyment as they engage in a simple yet delightful pastime – sniffing the fragrant flowers in their hands. This charming moment encapsulates the grace and beauty of the Regency period, a time when morning dress was an essential part of a lady's wardrobe and the simple pleasures of life were savored.
