Researching and reproducing
the fashions of the early nineteenth century 

Dear Gentle Reader,

     Welcome!  If you're seeking reliable information on how to recognize, reproduce and appreciate British and French women's fashions during the period of 1795 through 1820, then welcome! you've come to the right place.

    There is a superabundance of information in these pages, and it can be difficult to find your way cialis soft. A good place to start is the Monthly Q&A, a forum in which various aspects of regency-era fashions are discussed in detail.  Or dive right into to an overview of the evolution of fashions through the regency period in the Research pages.  If you're looking for definitions of specific terms or need more information on a specific topic, the Bibliography and Glossary pages will assist you.  Finally, the Reproductions pages contain loads of advice, tips and sources for making your own regency costume.

     Over the years, I have amassed a significant collection of original fashion plates, contemporary texts, bound fashion journals and other materials. All of the fashion plates which appear on this website are from my personal collection.  In 2002, I published my first book on CD, a nearly 500-page compilation and index of British fashion plate descriptions, followed in 2003 by a collection of more than one hundred French fashion plates viagra super active.  Details of these two books, and upcoming titles, can be found in the Books on CD pages.
