I hope all of you who have been following my Ackermann's series are enjoying seeing these lovely fashions as much as I am. This posting concludes the final installment of the Regency fashion plates from Ackermann's Repository Series 2. (1816 - 1822); but don't be sad since there is still Series 3 still to come. As you look at the 1822 fashions, take note that in July the waist line drops down several inches; from under the bust (Empire style) where it's been for many years, to just above the natural waistline. With a more form-fitting bodice a major change in corsetry is also in effect. Personally, I would have appreciated this trend since it would have worked much better for my curvy shape than the previous fashion of the Regency. If you are a woman of curves, like myself and enjoy a good Regency Romance. Give "Pleasure by Pleasure" by Eloisa James a try. This is the final book in a 4 part series about the Essex sisters and one of my favorite Regency series' to read. In "Pleasure for Pleasure" the leading lady "Josie" is a curvy girl trying to fit into Empire style dresses with horrifying result; till she gets a dressmaker that works fashions to Josie's shape rather than trying to sruff Josie's body type into the willowy women's fashions of her time. I'm sure she had dresses made more in this late 1822 fashion and I'd have followed her trend too; especially if I would have won a delicious dish as the Earl of Mayne for my very own. I hope you give it a try. My top pick for the 1822 Ackermann's Repository fashion plates This is probably my all time favorite of all the Ackermann's Repository fashion plates. There are just so many things to love about. To start with it's one of the fanciest fashions since it is a Court Dress, the color and accents are spectacular and we get a full shot of the beautiful back as well as a glimpse of the front due to this great period cheval mirror. This is a presentation dress for a lady of high rank to be worn at Hollyrood Palace in Scotland. To learn more about this dress and fashions during September 1822; please check the bottom of this blog post for the Ackermann's fashion descriptions for that month. I loved this fashion plate so much; that I removed the background to create a png so the image could be used for creating fun digital art pieces like the "Ladies of Ackermann's" piece I did HERE. I also used her in the right corner of this blogs background and she can be seen once more at my alter ego blog My Fanciful Muse Ackermann's Repository Series 1 (Early Regency) ran from January 1809 - December 1815 and all those fashion plates can be seen on my blog posts for July 2011. Here in the month of August 2011 I've been posting Series 2 (Mid Regency) which ran from January1816 to December 1822; by this point the periodical was as popular as ever and would still to run for another 6 years from January 1823 - December 1828 which was dubbed Series 3. I'll be posting the fashion plates for this final series in the month of September so please visit again so you can see all the changes starting to take place in the late Regency period. Enjoy! Ackermann's Repository 1822 Fashion Plates 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - January Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - January Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - February Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - February Issue Black and Colored Velvet for Full Dress was a new fashion trend in the early part of 1822 as seen with this fashion plate. This is not a half-mourning dress as the colors would suggest at first look. It's the velvet material and types of trim used that keeps it from being so. It's the subtlety in the details that makes the difference; after all this is a time period of unspoken languages like the language of the fan, or the language of flowers. It's amazing the types of naughty conversations a couple could have just by the signals a lady sent with her fan or a beau could send in a bouquet of flowers. 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - March Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - March Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - April Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - April Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - May Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - May Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - June Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 13 - June Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - July Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - July Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - August Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - August Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - September Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - September Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - October Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - October Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - November Issue 1822 - Ackermann's 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - December Issue 1822 - Ackermann's Repository Series 2 Vol 14 - December Issue ************** Now for a bit of fun here is an example of an Ackermann's Repository fashion article.
