Evening Dress – Autumn 1829

Authentic 1829 Romantic Era Evening Dress Illustration

This exquisite historical fashion plate captures the changing silhouettes of late Regency style, originally published in the October 1829 issue of The Ladies’ Pocket Magazine. The antique engraving showcases a high-society lady in a slate-blue evening gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline adorned with a crisp white ruffled collar. Her short puff sleeves and the lower tiers of her voluminous historical skirt are embellished with intricate lace-like frills, embodying the romanticism and tailored elegance typical of early 19th-century British high fashion.
