A mannequin posed in the style of an 1820s archery, wearing a long white full sleeved cotton dress with a braid trimmed wool vest over the top. There is a white ruff at the neck and she wears a cream bonnet. She is holding a bow
This girl is not to be trifled with. She has a keen eye, a strong bow and a quiver of arrows so beware the disrespectful suitor or the port soaked, condescending gentleman. She will have you in her sights. #1820s archery ensemble #fidmmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Partial view of an oatmeal coloured cotton riding habit. It consists of a turned down high collar with self covered buttons running across the bodice. It has long sleeves with a puff that balloons around the upper arm.
Back view of the oatmeal cotton riding habit showing the construction of the bodice, the fullness of the sleeves and the gathering of fabric at the back of the skirt
A watercolour of a woman in a brown riding habit with full sleeves and long skirts. She is wearing a top hat, a cravat and a white shirt
Strolling through Richmond Park yesterday I was imagining equestrians past and imagined habit clad figures trotting across the heathland. This is a smart cotton late #1820s riding habit for the stylish sporting gals #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Full length view of a pale blue and white striped silk gauze dress with long skirt and short puff sleeves. It has white silk satin rouleaux decorating the sleeves an hem in large intertwined loops with more satin trim across the bodice and a satin ribbon belt
Bodice detail of the 1820s striped silk gauze dress that shows the placement of the sarin applied on the bodice and looped around the sleeves
Hem detail of the 1820s striped silk gauze dress that shows how the large padded loops of satin decorate the bottom of the skirt
The satin rouleaux that trim many an #1820s evening dress are so beautifully chunky. They represent so much labour, hand making the long robes of satin before applying them in loops around the sleeves and hem #MarylandHistoryCenter #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Two mannequins posed in 1820s style. One wears a long blue silk pelisse and holds a small reticule. The other wears a white cotton dress with a short bronze silk Spencer jacket. Both have shoulder puffs and long sleeves
I do love the details that are stitched into the construction of early #1820s outerwear. Whether it is the long pelisse or the short fitted spencer, the hand worked shoulder puffs and appliqués decorating the bodices are beautifully subtle #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Here's the cover I drew for a New-Yorker-ish mock
magazine about my city. The story behind it is that, before the discovery in 1823 of a Roman temple buried underneath the city, the only emerging capital was used as a coffee table in the garden of a private villa.

One final marvellous garment from the Rijksmuseum, a longtime favourite in the shape of a mid #1820s dark green riding habit trimmed will gold braid. Home after our whirlwind of a weekend in Amsterdam @rijksmuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A front and back view of a pale blue floral silk brocade dress with high waist and long sleeves that have a puff at the shoulder. It is fuller at the back and has a ruffle at the hem
The value of cloth was such, in the past, that recycling was a regular feature of sartorial life. Silk brocade worn in the 18th century has been completely repurposed here to fit the fashionable silhouette of the #1820s, too precious not to reuse #nasjonalmuseet #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Side view of a pale red sheer silk long dress with broad sleeves and self decorated hem
Front view of the pale red sheer silk gauze dress showing sleeve proportions and ruched neckline
Hem detail of the pale red sheer silk dress showing the twists of silk that encircle the hem
Aerophane, a fabric that seems to evoke the ethereal nature of its structure, a fine, wispy silk gauze. Here it creates a hazy silhouette of oversized proportions and flame-like embellishments licking at the hem. Late #1820s @lacma.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Extract from "Tales of Old Bexhill" by Phyllis Burl about Phillipa Liardet, who died in 1824 but was not buried until 1829.
"She died on 27th October, 1824 at the age of 64, but for some unknown reason was not buried until 26th March, 1829."
Where was Phillipa Liardet's corpse during those five years?

The top half of a pale blue long 1820s pelisse showing the mannequin styled in accessories such as a high collared white cotton under bodice with a silk bow at the neck. She is wearing a dramatic vertical hat in pale blue by Philip Treacy. The bodice is decorated with self coloured couched silk trim
Back view of the top half of the pale blue pelisse showing epaulettes and the long sleeves. It is gathered centre back with a self coloured bow
Side by side image of the front and back of the pale blue silk pelisse showing the full length of the garment
One of my favourite dress installations was the pleasure gardens display at the Museum of London. It married the complexity of original garments with the marvellous fantastical millinery of Philip Treacy. Early #1820s pelisse #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Back view of the top half of a gauzy pale purple striped ballgown gathered centre back and with a small purple waist sash. It has decorative shoulder puffs and long silences with satin edged cuffs
Full length view of the front of the pale purple striped ballgown showing ruffling across the bodice, puffs shoulders with long sleeves and three layers of ruffles at the hem
This has been a favourite of mine for a long time. There is something about #1820s style that is so appealing. Mostly it is the detail of sleeves and hems and the knowledge that it was all executed by hand @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A mannequin wearing a long white dress with short puff sleeves and high waistline. There is a white net overdress trimmed with pale blue appliquéd satin at the bodice, sleeves and lower third of the skirt
It is easy to see the allure of a net overdress in this #1820s gown. The solid silk silhouette beneath gives way to the blur of sheer net embellished with blue satin trim that floats across the surface. The ethereality must have been compounded by low flickering light #TePapa #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
