1817 June Morning Dress as worn in Bridgerton and Jane Austen’s times in England. A round dress composed of jaconet muslin; the bottom of the skirt is trimmed with an intermixture of tucks and embroidery. The body is perfectly novel, it is a three-quarter height, and displays the whole of the throat and a little of the neck: it is composed of the same material as the dress, and is formed to the shape, in a manner at once singular and becoming, by bands of letting-in lace; it is also profusely ornamented with lace, which is set on very full. Long full sleeve, the fullness confined by a tasteful cuff, which is finished by a lace ruffle. Head-dress the Marlborough cap, composed of white lace, ornamented with full-blown roses and blush colored satin ribbon. For the form of this elegant cap, which is perfectly in the English style, we refer our readers to our print. The hair is parted in front so as to display a little of the forehead, and curled lightly over the temples. Necklace and ear-rings white cornelian mixed with gold. White kid slippers and gloves. We are indebted to the elegant taste of Mrs. Marchant of 40, Gerrard-street, Soho, for both our dresses this month. Fashion Plate via Rudolph Ackermann’s ‘The Repository of Arts’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Definition Morning or At-Home Dress<\/strong>: Loose and comfortable dress and soft lace cap to be worn at home for reading, painting, sewing or for walking in the garden. To be seen by family, servants and close friends. Not accessorized enough to be out in the wider public, although the pretty pink roses and trim on the cap suggest this outfit may have been worn for receiving visitors at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n1817 June Lady Reading Wearing Bridgerton Or Jane Austen Style Morning Dress and Marlborough Cap. #Bridgerton #RegencyEra #JaneAusten #HistoricalFashion https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveFashionWomen1815-1819 <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n\n\n![\"1817](\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1817_June_MorningDressEnglish_Jaconetmuslintrimmed-with-tucksandembroidery_Ackermann_Lge-1.jpg\")
