REGENCY SOCIETY
In the early 1800s Regency Britain changed from a rural society to an urban, trading one, and London became an important center.
A “social season” evolved during the 17th and 18th centuries where the better off divided their year between the high life of London (also Edinburgh and Dublin) and hunting seasons at country residences.
Provincial towns and cities boasted Assembly Rooms and theaters for the proliferating middle classes.
Social rounds provided chances for young people to parade their looks and fashionable clothes in order to make good marriages.
THE CLOAKROOM, 1817, MEN AND WOMEN PREPARED CAREFULLY FOR A SOCIAL EVENT IN REGENCY ENGLAND. ARTIST ROLINDA SHARPLES SHOW THEM IN THE CLOAKROOM OF THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS IN CLFTON, A FASHIONABLE AREA OF BRISTOL.
In this fashionable evening gathering in Bristol in 1817, the young women favor a relatively simple look: a pale empire-line gown with a low, wide neckline, short puffed sleeves, gloves, fan, and modest floral hair ornaments.
Frilled and decorated hems and shorter dress lengths had recently gained currency, and diaphanous fabrics such as muslin and gauze, including satin gowns with net overlays, were popular.

Maturer and married ladies dressed in stronger colors with fancy head wear.
The gentlemen wear long-skirted frock coats, tall, upright collars, and cravat-style neck cloths.
Transitions in menswear are apparent — the man on the right wears black knee-breeches and silk stockings, while the man in the center with a lady on each arm sports loosely cut trousers.
REGENCY SOCIETY
摄政时期
十九世纪早期，摄政时期的英国从一个乡村转变成一个城市化的贸易点，而伦敦则是重中之重。
一种“社交季节”文化在十七到十八世纪得到发展，高品质生活的伦敦（包括爱丁堡和都柏林）与乡村住宅的差距越来越大。
省级城镇吹嘘他们的大会堂与剧院是为中产阶级准备的。
社交场合为年轻人提供了展示他们穿着与时尚的机会，方便他们结交伴侣准备结婚。
ROLINDA SHARPLES 1817年画作THE CLOAKROOM, CLIFTON ASSEMBLY ROOMS，生动描绘了19世纪初上流社会社交聚会入场在存衣间的场景, 年轻的时髦女子们均身着白裙，这也正是简•奥斯汀（Jane Austen）笔下所描绘的历史时期。

1817年在布里斯托尔举行的时尚晚宴中，年轻女孩青睐一种简单的外形：浅色帝国风格长礼服，伴随低而宽的领口，短的泡泡袖，手套，扇子以及最柔和的花卉头饰。
荷叶边，装饰性下摆以及更短一些的裙长变得流行，精致面料例如薄纱网纱，包括带有网眼贴面的缎子礼服非常受欢迎。
成熟的与已婚的女士则穿着更强烈的色彩，搭配花式发饰。
绅士们穿着长款佛罗克式外套，高大直立的衣领搭配领结式领巾。
男装的变化是非常清楚的 — 有的男士穿着黑色马裤与丝袜，有的则穿着宽松剪裁的休闲裤子。
