Walking and Morning Dresses – Autumn 1810

1810 Regency Walking Dress with Exotic Leopard-Print Fur Tippet

This authentic November 1810 hand-colored etching from Ackermann’s Repository of Arts showcases the height of late Georgian promenade fashion in London. The standing figure models an elegant white high-waisted walking dress tailored with subtle lace inserts along the bodice and a finely ruffled hemline. Elevating this outdoor ensemble is a luxurious, exotic leopard-print fur tippet draped over her shoulders, a highly fashionable winter accessory during the British Regency period. The look is completed by an elaborate matching bonnet trimmed with soft white rosettes and structural ribbons, capturing the refined taste of upper-class women.

Classic Morning Gown and Antique Recamier Chaise Longue Seating

The seated companion in this vintage costume print displays a traditional early 19th-century Morning Dress, designed for domestic comfort and early hours reception. Reclining gracefully on a classical wooden Recamier chaise longue with elegant scroll arms and a red velvet cushion, she wears a high-collared cambric gown featuring soft puffed shoulders and fine embroidery. A delicate white lace cap ties under her chin, while she holds a closed slim parasol in her lap. This historical illustration serves as a premiere reference for researchers studying interior Regency lifestyles and textile variations.
