This is my favorite from the 1810 Ackermann's Repository fashion plates This is my 2nd 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 staples of 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 1810. Series 1 Vol 3 was Jan - June 1810 Series 1 Vol 4 was July - Dec 1810 I hope you enjoy!

The Dec 1810 issue of Ackermann's shows items of clothing that can be worn by ladies who are in mourning. Here again not only was the wearing of mourning a tradition but England was at war against the French (Napoleonic War 1803 - 1815) and there was an large number of families in mourning due to the losses of war. The Fashion plates in Ackermann's Repository are a joy to see on their own; but the descriptions that accompanied each item are equally fascinating to me. There is just something so eloquent in the spoken and written word of the Regency Era. Description for Sept 1810 Fashion plates 17&18 I can see how these old records would be of great use to historical romance writers and Hollywood costume designers. Not only do you get a beautiful picture but you know the fabrics, laces, colors and hairstyles that were of the latest fashion...at least according to Ackermann's I hope you have enjoyed viewing Ackermann's Repository fashion plates for 1810.

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!

I just get a thrill out of seeing the phraseology used during this time period. I hope you have enjoyed this little walk through 1824 Regency fashions from Ackermann's Repository and that you will join me again later as we continue with this fun series. Till next time...
