Pelisse of scarlet Merino cloth, buttoned down front and up arm with small gold buttons, collar and cuffs of purple velvet, empire tippet pointed in back, Scarlet bonnet turned up with velvet, veil through front, scarlet cloth boots trimmed with velvet. Fashion Plate via John Belle’s La Belle Assemblée or, Bell’s Court and Fashionable Magazine, London.Jane Austen and her contemporaries wore long coats like these to keep warm when out and about, visiting, shopping etc. The thin muslin dresses worn in the early 1800s were little protection against European winters.

Definition Merino Wool: Finest quality wool, originating in Spain. During Napoleonic wars, Merino sheep exported to Britain and other parts of Europe. Napoleon supported Merino growth in France. In 1808, after French invaded Spain, King George purchased additional 2000 Merinos for royal flock but Britain too wet for thriving industry. Other countries i.e. Australia, began producing fine quality Merino.

Definition Velvet: Historically made with silk pile on silk backing, or cheaper backing e.g. linen. Velvets were also made from cotton or wool. Today, silk velvet is usually rayon pile on silk backing so you only see the rayon and not the silk.

1807 Two Ladies and a Gentleman In Outdoor Walking Outfits. #Regency #Fashion #JaneAusten

Suzi Love Posted on by

1807 Two Ladies and a Gentleman, English. Lady in lavender walking dress, or Pelisse, with fur trim, holding a blue reticule or bag, fitted lavender bonnet with tassel and yellow gloves. Lady in white evening dress with salmon tunic caught up at one side and evening turban. Man in long blue overcoat, or Redingote, with contrasting collar, high white cravat, yellow gloves, tall Hessian boots with tassels, and wearing a top hat. via Le Beau Monde, or Literary and Fashionable Magazine, London, U.K.

These are the types of outfits worn by Jane Austen and contemporaries in England and shown in their English magazines. The same designs had probably already been seen in France, because English publishers obsessively copied French fashions despite the two countries being at war for many years.
