'1810 Embroidered Muslin Evening Gown', in Pen, Ink and Watercolour - A6 Postcard
Product Description
This A6 postcard presents an intricately detailed pen, ink, and watercolour illustration of an 1810 embroidered muslin evening gown, created by renowned dress historian and illustrator Eleanor Houghton. The artwork captures the understated elegance of Regency-era evening attire, reflecting the refined craftsmanship and delicate embellishments characteristic of the period.
Historical Context
As all good fans of Jane Austen (or Georgette Heyer for that matter) will know, early nineteenth century formal gowns were typically formed from light fabrics like muslin or silk which were chosen for their ethereal quality and graceful drape. The high Empire waistline, paired with intricate embroidery, drew inspiration from neoclassical ideals and aesthetics.
Printed on brilliant bright white paperstock, with a smooth coated satin finish, this postcard is a thoughtful choice for admirers of historical fashion, costume enthusiasts, and Jane Austen fans. Whether shared, collected, or framed, it offers a timeless tribute to the elegance of Regency design.
