Period Fashions – The Georgian Era

updated on Leave a Comment on Period Fashions – The Georgian Era

The Metropolitan Museum of Arts has opened up to the public a huge selection of photography that can be used for any purpose, including commercial.  In that collection is period clothing.  I thought since many readers have an avid interest in the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras, I’d do a post on each era with a few fashion examples.  Hopefully, while you read about the latest duke, wishing to take off the heroine’s dress and make mad passionate love, you’ll get an idea what the dress looked like before it hit the floor.  Enjoy.
