Beautiful Young Lady from the Late 1800's and One from Jane Austen Era

Hi everyone, Welcome to you all.

    As my days have been full my blog is not!  Still working on party prep. The R.S.V.P.s are coming in and there will be family from out of state coming.Very fun. Also  neighbors who I haven't seen since the late 1960's.

 I know my mom will be so pleased.

    My sister said she was glad there are no weddings coming up!

Thank you for all your comments. Please know I cherish them all. Even when I do not reply you can be sure I have read them.

I feel in love with this sweet pretty young lady. She seems to be deep in thought. Maybe she was just utterly bored sitting for the artist! The dress is scrumptious. I would love to come across this in color.

.

And a young lady who appears to be from the early 1800's or Regency period. That hair! Use for ideas when wearing Jane Austen era clothing.

Enjoy and thank you for visiting, Louise

Welcome to you all. Thank you for all your well wishes. Luckily, being careful has paid off My back is doing much better .So grateful it doesn't hurt to sit at my desk and computer aa much. How convenient a laptop would be!

Isn't October going fast?

This post was in my drafts so I have something for you today.  I can post without spending a lot of time at my desk. The pictures and fashion plates are from early 1800's. The ones with the large puffy sleeves are circa 1830. The others are earlier and are Regency fashions. Jane Austen era clothing. The first one and the oil are  my favorite's.

I have been thinking of doing a give away. It would be so fun to put together a collection of goodies or buttons.My only concern is shipping costs over seas. Any hints about doing a give away are welcome.

I am so very happy that you have come for a visit. Welcome to all my new followers. It makes it so fun to blog and share all the pictures.

Much Love, Louise

Historical Regency Fashion Prints. Jane Austen era clothing designs

A posting for all you Jane Austen and Regency clothing  fans.

 Some of these fashion prints were originally published by Rudolph Ackermann. He began his print shop in 1795 and was known for  lithographs. Families,including the children would hand color them by candle light. Historic costumes and vintage textiles and of course lace are some of my favorite things. The back of the dresses are featured in a lot of the prints. I assume that was just as important as the front. Very pretty compared to what we do now. Fashions are from approx. 1800-1820. I have several more that will posted in the future.

It has been so fun posting this last week. Much love, Louise

Some of these will click to a larger size.

All I can say is wow! For the woman who wants to make a dramatic statement!

Greetings and Welcome to everyone!

This post is in celebration of Jane Austen and the Regency Era. After a bit of searching I was able to come up with some fantastic images for you.  A few are perfect for framing, instant art to adorn your boudoir. Please enjoy them and hopefully they will find their way into your homes and projects. The fashion plates are a good reference for historic  period  clothing.Everyone wants a new gown for your next Jane Austen gathering!

The following two lovely portraits have elaborate hair styles from the period.

Along with "Pinkie" and "Blue Boy" and the one above,these pictures adorned a wall in our dining room when I was growing up.. Maybe that is why I am so attracted to them.The Huntington Library in So California was one of my favorite art museums.

Laundress needed! Think of all the linen and clothing a family with children would need!

 

I think this is a painting of Jane Austen as a child.

Learning to "fan"?

Off to church or an event in town.

The following pictures are from antique postcards.

Enjoy and have fun creating!

Love, Louise
