A Guide to Regency Dress: from Corsets and Breeches to Bonnets and Muslins

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

Celebrated dress historian Hilary Davidson brings together nearly 20 years of research on Regency fashion in an illustrated guide for the first time. All the elements of the Regency wardrobe of both men and women-from coats, gowns and undergarments to shoes, accessories, beauty, hair and jewellery-are assembled, along with their textiles and trimmings.

A Guide to Regency Dress is an essential companion to navigate the fashion world of Jane Austen or re-create the Regency look.
