Coming up next fortnight: /u/kittydentures continues our discussion of fashion in this period, as we delve deeper into the scandalous Chemise a la Reine before discussing issues of historical costuming.
Yay! Thank you, /u/400-Rabbits, I had a great time and can't wait to hear /u/kittydentures in two weeks.
My book's finally up on Amazon: Regency Women's Dress. I've been told that the publishing date is September 17, so I'm not sure why it says October 1.
I wouldn't have thought I'd be much interested in regency era fashion, but this was a very fun listen. Thank you both!
