Hi everyone! Welcome to all you new visitors as well as my wonderful followers.Some fun period clothing and illustrations. They are great references for 1920-1930 styles and the colors of fabrics. The dollhouse is fun and bright. I would have spent lots of time looking at the picture to see what was in each room. From a booklet on rick rack and trims. For personal and educational use only. This is from an old sewing booklet. For some reason my scanner would just not pick up the colors very well. This image is copyright free. From a book I own. You may use this as you wish for free. A mention of Bumble Button is appreciated. I am not sure which book this came from so for personal and educational use. So glad you stopped by.Enjoy creating your ATC, scrap booking collage and other crafts. The images, as always, are free for your use. Much love to you,Louise
Today our Regency time travels for fashion will take us to the year 1824 and oh what an assortment of fashions we have for this year. The trends continue with the lowering and snugger form-fitting bodice and fuller skirt bottoms as we have seen for the past few years. Then is October we see see two mourning fashions; however this time it is not due to a death in the British Royal Family but for the French King Louise XVIII. I found it interesting that the British Court was ordered to go into a short period of mourning for the French king and that many in the British higher ranks were expected to follow along. I will post the fashion article showing this mandate after posting all the fashion plates, so I hope you take a look at it as well. This is my pick of the 1824 Ackermann's Repository Fashion Plates As always, it is difficult for me to choose my pick of the fashions for any one year. I was drawn to this fashion plate due to the interesting composition. Not only is the dress and ladies face charming but the scene in itself was too unusual to be passed over. I hope you have fun looking at and choosing a favorite of your own. Enjoy!

This is my favorite Ackermann's Repository fashion plate for 1811 This is my 3rd installment of fashion plates from Ackermann's Repository - Regency era magazine. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufacturers, Fashion and Politics. was a popular publications in England from 1809-1829. (The 1829 issues were printed as "Ackermann's Repository of Fashion".) I have found the articles and illustrations to be a fascinating glimpse into that time period. One of my favorite ongoing series in the magazine are the fashion plates. Each monthly issue usually included 2 Fashion plates, giving on average a total of 24 Fashion plates for the year. Though the magazine was published monthly; specially bound volumes were available from Ackermann's. These "bound" book versions, consisted of a 2 volume set for each year it was in publication. Ackermann's Repository "Bound" Series 1 ran from 1809 - 1815 with a total of 14 Volumes for Series 1 Series 1 Vol 1 was Jan - June 1809 Series 1 Vol 2 was July - Dec 1809 Series 1 Vol 3 was Jan - June 1810 Series 1 Vol 4 was July - Dec 1810 Series 1 Vol 5 was Jan - June 1811 Series 1 Vol 6 was July - Dec 1811 Series 1 Vol 7 was Jan - June 1812 Series 1 Vol 8 was July - Dec 1812 Series 1 Vol 9 was Jan - June 1813 Series 1 Vol 10 was July - Dec 1813 Series 1 Vol 11 was Jan - June 1814 Series 1 Vol 12 was July - Dec 1814 Series 1 Vol 13 was Jan - June 1815 Series 1 Vol 14 was July - Dec 1815 Today I will be posting the fashion plates for the year 1811.

"There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart." ~Jane Austen I went to a wedding this past weekend and besides enjoying the company of friends and the spreading of well-wishes it made me think about love and romance! One of my most favorite writers famous for her love stories is Jane Austen. I have loved her books and the adapted films since I was a little girl! In my final research paper at university I presented on the topic of the female identity and the struggle throughout history for women to find their voice and perspective through writing. Jane Austen was one of the authors that I spoke about for her portrayal of women in a very strict and enclosed society. I quoted critics who wrote about the attitude of Austen's characters being one of "grace under pressure" - facing the world and it's realities with poise and dignity. Her love stories embody this grace and have always captivated me. The photos for today include my copies of favorite Jane Austen novels and pictures from a few of the film and television adaptations that I love including the 2005 Pride and Prejudice. Also, some photos taken of an article from an old Victoria magazine that featured a gorgeous Jane Austen inspired photoshoot. The illustrations are borrowed from Emma Adaptations which includes, among other things, a gallery of illustrations from early editions of the novel 'Emma'. Last but not least to begin my little Jane Austen tribute the 2007 ITV trailer for the Jane Austen Season - BBC adapted the Jane Austen stories beautifully and I definitely advise you see them all if you haven't already!
The fashion era spanning of the War of 1812 was also the Regency era of British novelist Jane Austen, it’s focus was on elegance and simplicity. Women’s fashions of the period were inspired by the democratic ideals of the new French Republic - which in turn took it’s inspiration from classical Greece. Waists were high and diaphanous light coloured fabrics were at the height of fashion. Such a contrast to fashions of the previous and following eras with their multiple layers of dark and heavy fabric. The following fashion plates were published in Incroyables et merveilleuses de 1814. Click on the plate and then click again to see a high resolution large image. Wonderful inspiration for the gowns we will all wear to the Seaway Trail 2012 Quilt Show in March. Hope you will plan to join us in costume too!

Good morning and welcome! I stumbled upon a very unusual and interesting book on toys and games. It was written in the French language so it was the pictures that caught my eye. I couldn't wait to share some of the pictures with you. Here are a few of the many engravings and colored plates.Maybe Jane and her sister enjoyed similar ladylike outdoor activities. The French dolls are dressed in the Empire style which puts them in Jane Austen's lifetime. The elaborately dressed poupees are just waiting to make their way into your greeting cards, collages and mixed media art. Hope you are all well. I am sending much love to each and every one of you. Hide and seek. Badminton?
Every year has it's ups and downs and 1825 Regency England was no different. The down side of the year was the Stock Market crash which started with the Bank of England due to speculative investments in South America. The financial crisis caused the closing of 6 London Banks and 60 country banks. The year did end on an up-note, with the completion of the first public railroad in England, using steam locomotives. The Stockton-Darlington line was only 25 miles long; however it was the start of the new Steam Age which later change the face of England as it moves from the Late Regency into the Victorian period. This still will not happen for another dozen years so; for now we will continue to enjoy the Regency fashions of Ackermann's Repository with the beautiful dresses of 1825. My personal pick of the 1825 Ackermann's Repository fashion plates I loved the ribbon lacing, trims and color of this ball gown. Can't you just picture how this skirt would swoosh as she glides across a ball room?
