I'm a big fan of Regency Romances; so naturally I have a thing for the fashions of this time period and was thrill to discover these 200 year old prints from the English publication Ackermann's Repository. I love the fact that I now have these great images as reference when I'm reading one of my novels. Now if I wonder what a half dress, morning dress or carriage costume looked like; I have these wonderful prints to give me a visual reference. I'm so thrilled with these images that I even changed my blog background here and on my other "My Fanciful Muse" blog using some of the fashion figures from Ackermann's pages. I'm already starting to create fun digital art using some of my favorites, so take a peek over on my "Muse" blog - for the grins and giggles of it. This is my favorite fashion plate from the 1813 Ackermann's Repository issue Description of plate 46 is for the Ball Dress shown above This is my 5th installment of fashion plates from Ackermann's Repository - Regency era magazine. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufacturers, Fashion and Politics. was a popular publications in England from 1809-1829. (The 1829 issues were printed as "Ackermann's Repository of Fashion".) I have found the articles and illustrations to be a fascinating glimpse into that time period. One of my favorite ongoing series in the magazine are the fashion plates. Each monthly issue usually included 2 Fashion plates, giving on average a total of 24 Fashion plates for the year. Though the magazine was published monthly; specially bound volumes were available from Ackermann's. These "bound" book versions, consisted of a 2 volume set for each year it was in publication. Ackermann's Repository "Bound" Series 1 ran from 1809 - 1815 with a total of 14 Volumes for Series 1 Series 1 Vol 1 was Jan - June 1809 Series 1 Vol 2 was July - Dec 1809 Series 1 Vol 3 was Jan - June 1810 Series 1 Vol 4 was July - Dec 1810 Series 1 Vol 5 was Jan - June 1811 Series 1 Vol 6 was July - Dec 1811 Series 1 Vol 7 was Jan - June 1812 Series 1 Vol 8 was July - Dec 1812 Series 1 Vol 9 was Jan - June 1813 Series 1 Vol 10 was July - Dec 1813 Series 1 Vol 11 was Jan - June 1814 Series 1 Vol 12 was July - Dec 1814 Series 1 Vol 13 was Jan - June 1815 Series 1 Vol 14 was July - Dec 1815 Today I will be posting the fashion plates for the year 1813.

I find it mind boggling that women dressed this way every day of their lives and how very different life was 200 years ago. In our hustle-bustle lives we make due with "off the rack" this and that and if we are luck it fits us and looks good. Back in the Regency time clothing was custom made to fit a person. You picked a style, color, fabric and trims to suit you and if you wanted this or that changed on the main style, that would be done too. Everything you would wear would be custom made to fit you perfectly; underwear, clothing, shoes, hats, reticules, hair accessories and even jewelry. This is the original 1813 Ball Dress So, if I were a lady of means in 1813 England and choosing a new garment at my favorite dressmakers establishment - I would choose this amazing ball gown. I know white was a popular dress color in this time period; however, I'm a girl who likes color - so I would request a color change. Here is the dress in a tranquil aqua Here is the dress in a nice soft blue Here is the dress in a pretty lilac I do enjoy playing with colors in Photoshop. It's fun to see how the look of a dress changes based on a different color or shade. Join me again next time when I post the Regency fashions of 1814.

Jusqu'au XIXe siècle, voire la moitié du XXe siècle dans certaines régions, la France jouissait d'une incroyable diversité culturelle. Changer de province, c'était comme changer de pays. Tout différait : les paysages, l'habitat, la langue, les costumes, les coutumes, la cuisine, les outils de travail... et même les unités de mesures avant l'instauration du système métrique, en mai 1790. C'était la France rurale, de culture paysanne et terrienne, dont il ne reste plus grand chose. Le nombre des agriculteurs ne cesse de diminuer d'année en année. Mais les attaches demeurent fortes et les anciennes provinces, elles-mêmes composées de pays, par l'action des associations et des instances régionales, font vivre et revivre ces patrimoines. Ce phénomène, sinon de renouveau, du moins de veille, est en quelque sorte une réaction de survie face au rouleau compresseur du globalisme niveleur de déculturation des masses.
