My books range from sexy to erotic, late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and with a dash of Australia thrown into the mix. My heroes and heroines challenge tradition and my stories often expose the seamier levels of life. I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.suzilove.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/profile.php?id=1795828726\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/suzi_love_oz\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/suziloveauthor\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com.au\\\/suziloveoz\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/SuziLove\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.tumblr.com\\\/blog\\\/suziloveuniverse\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.suzilove.com\\\/?author=1\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"1805 May Two Ladies In Jane Austen Style Walking Dress and Full Dress, English. #RegencyFashion #JaneAusten #HistoricalFashion -

Earlier, women used pockets that tied at the waistline and were hidden in the folds of their skirts. Empire style, or early 1800s, high-waisted dresses made it impossible to either sewn in a pocket or to tie on a pocket. So women began carrying small, decorated bags called Reticules, or ridicules, which generally pulled close at the top with a drawstring."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=29398#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"1805 May Two Ladies In Jane Austen Style Walking Dress and Full Dress, English. #RegencyFashion #JaneAusten #HistoricalFashion"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/","name":"Suzi Love","description":"Making history fun, one year at a time.","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/#\/schema\/person\/68ad508629fd230170a4edb2c8666f5d","name":"Suzi Love","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/35b4d539e340031c3f851f180fc9b096cf638819bbc91220ddb2c58b8467f5a1?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/35b4d539e340031c3f851f180fc9b096cf638819bbc91220ddb2c58b8467f5a1?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/35b4d539e340031c3f851f180fc9b096cf638819bbc91220ddb2c58b8467f5a1?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Suzi Love"},"description":"I'm an Australian author of contemporary and historical romances, plus history non-fiction. My books range from sexy to erotic, late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and with a dash of Australia thrown into the mix. My heroes and heroines challenge tradition and my stories often expose the seamier levels of life. I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29398"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34576,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29398\/revisions\/34576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
