Today I continue posting more Regency Fashions from the pages of Ackermann's Repository and want to call your attention to "mourning dress" as viewed by those of Regency England. My last post for the year 1817 ended with two mourning fashion plates. This was due to the fact that all of England was in mourning over the death of their beloved Princess Charlotte. Ackermann's then continued the mourning fashion plates in memory of Princess Charlotte by showing two more in January 1818 and then in Dec 1818 they end again with two mourning fashion plates due to the death of Queen Charlotte (wife of King George III and grandmother of Princess Charlotte). These plates were shown in publications like Ackermann's since the entire country went into mourning when a member of the Royal family died. One example of a Mourning Evening Dress for 1818 Mourning Dress (not to be confused with a morning dress) was a strong custom in Regency Europe. In modern society we wear black to a funeral and for the most part that's it but in Regency times it was a different situation. When a member of the family died, those related went into mourning and dressed accordingly for a lengthy period of time. Depending on how the individual was related to you determined how long you were to wear mourning. Not only was how you dressed a factor but also the type of functions you could attend and how you were allowed to participate in those affairs were dictated by mourning customs of the time. There was Full-Mourning and Half-Mourning (Full-Mourning was ususally worn for the first half of the time frame and Half-Mouning to finish off the mourning period). The length of time you wore those extents of mourning were also determined by your relationship to the deceased. It was a common practice to dye your existing clothing black when you went into mourning since this was the quickest way to have the appropriate attire. The linings in cloaks were changed out for black ones and bonnets were usually remade to include black crêpe. However, if a family member was to be in mourning for an extended about of months or years they would have new fashions created in the usual manner and use fashion plates such as these in Ackermann's as a guide. Depending on the source you will find variances in length of time and what was appropriate or allowed in the mourning costume of Regency England; but to give a general guide line: 24 months for a husband or wife 12 months for parents or parents in law 6 months for a sister or brother 12 weeks for a sister in law or brother in law 2 weeks to 6 months - uncle or aunt 2-4 weeks - first cousin For instance a Widow might go into mourning for 2 years for her Husband. She would spend the 1st year and 1 day in Full-Mourning; wearing all black in matte fabrics like black crêpe or bombazine. Very few jewelry choices would be available during this time. After that she might wear Half-Mourning of grey, purple, lilac, lavender or a combination of black and white. A bit more sheen would be allowed in the fabric choices as would a larger selection of jewelry options. ************* Today I am posting the fashion plates from Ackermann's Series 2 for the year 1818.

I'm a big fan of Regency Romances; so naturally I have a thing for the fashions of this time period and was thrill to discover these 200 year old prints from the English publication Ackermann's Repository. I love the fact that I now have these great images as reference when I'm reading one of my novels. Now if I wonder what a half dress, morning dress or carriage costume looked like; I have these wonderful prints to give me a visual reference. I'm so thrilled with these images that I even changed my blog background here and on my other "My Fanciful Muse" blog using some of the fashion figures from Ackermann's pages. I'm already starting to create fun digital art using some of my favorites, so take a peek over on my "Muse" blog - for the grins and giggles of it. This is my favorite fashion plate from the 1813 Ackermann's Repository issue Description of plate 46 is for the Ball Dress shown above This is my 5th 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 1813. Series 1 Vol 9 was Jan - June 1813 Series 1 Vol 10 was July - Dec 1813 I hope you enjoy!

I find it mind boggling that women dressed this way every day of their lives and how very different life was 200 years ago. In our hustle-bustle lives we make due with "off the rack" this and that and if we are luck it fits us and looks good. Back in the Regency time clothing was custom made to fit a person. You picked a style, color, fabric and trims to suit you and if you wanted this or that changed on the main style, that would be done too. Everything you would wear would be custom made to fit you perfectly; underwear, clothing, shoes, hats, reticules, hair accessories and even jewelry. This is the original 1813 Ball Dress So, if I were a lady of means in 1813 England and choosing a new garment at my favorite dressmakers establishment - I would choose this amazing ball gown. I know white was a popular dress color in this time period; however, I'm a girl who likes color - so I would request a color change. Here is the dress in a tranquil aqua Here is the dress in a nice soft blue Here is the dress in a pretty lilac I do enjoy playing with colors in Photoshop. It's fun to see how the look of a dress changes based on a different color or shade. Join me again next time when I post the Regency fashions of 1814.
