    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 adore history, especially the many-layered society of the late Regency to early Victorian eras. In and around London, my titled heroes and heroines may live a privileged and gay life but I also love digging deeper into the grittier and seamier levels of British life and write about the heroes and heroines who challenge traditional manners, morals, and occupations, either through necessity or desire.Tag Line- Making history fun, one year at a time

      FASHION WOMEN 1800

      After the French Revolution, the fussy styles previously affordable only by the very wealthy in European countries were replaced with ideas of simplicity in dress, behavior, and decorating.

      The neoclassic style was adopted and carried through the Napoleonic War years, partly because of Napoleon Bonaparte’s love of anything Greco-Roman.

      The 1800s silhouette copied the chiton worn by the Greeks and Romans. The chiton was a tubular garment draped from the shoulders and sometimes belted beneath the bust and this style of garment was completely different to the rectangular panniered skirts of the 18th century.

      Early 1800s fashions were elegant and pretty, plus they sometimes afforded a gentleman a tiny glimpse of a well-turned ankle. Though to me that sounds like the lady has sprained her ankle rather than looking fashionably slim.

      Empire style gowns, named after Napoleon's first Empress, became popular at the turn of the century and were high waisted with skirts gathered under the bust. Fabrics were thinner, sometimes almost transparent, which would have been freezing in winter in England or Europe. Despite the danger to their health, women adopted these same light fabrics in England and modistes turned them into light and airy tubular dresses.

      Skirts gathered under the bust and often with more fullness at the back to allow women to walk and move freely, but once again providing little warmth. Therefore, outerwear gradually became more practical and called for thicker fabrics, such as wool.

      Walking dresses, pelisses, Redingotes and half cloaks were all worn over an Empire style dress, and accessories such as shawls and oversized fur muffs were added to outfits.

      Tunics were often added to give gowns an appearance of decency, especially from the back.

      The Lady’s Magazine gives a general round-up of the prevailing fashions for 1800. White is still the prevailing color for robes. For morning dresses, linen gowns, in large diamonds or squares, are fashionable. Indian muslins, plain or embroidered, are preferred to Florence and satins.

      The white apron has become an article of dress.  The hot weather has introduced the use of veils, which are worn very long, of simple muslin, or with a rich lace. We see many robes of sky-blue crape, black crape, and red-poppy crape. Those of black crape have a jet-black trimming. The designs of embroidery for shawls are of infinite variety.

      Long gloves, which reach above the elbow, are not yet laid aside. Medallions are hung around the neck from crossed chains and some of these medallions are shaped like the bags, called ridicules. These reticules are of the lozenge or hexagon shape, with a small tassel at each angle.  Reticules, or ridicules, are in lozenge or hexagon shapes with a small tassel at each angle.

       In capotes and ribbands, the violet and dark green prevail over jonquil. Bracelets in hair, pear-shaped ear-rings, medallions on square plates, saltiers of colored stones, are
