Day 22 of the #LadysMagazineAdventCalendar: Carriage Dress from October 1813. Not only do I love this frock but I love the self-referentiality of the plate, which sees the sitter holding a copy of the magazine in her hand. #dresshistory #womensmagazines #periodicals

Day 8 of the #LadysMagazineAdventCalendar is photoshopping #19thcentury style. This text from the March 1832 Lady's Magazine explains that, for a fee, readers could their faces appear in the magazine's fashion plates. Fees were 5 guineas for a full length figure, 3 guineas for a half. I wonder if any of your ancestors or mine ever appeared in one...? #photoshopping #womensmagazines #RegencySelfies

I could do with a pelisse today. Blooming chilly here today. (From the Lady’s Magazine for 1819) #fashion #regency #fashionplates #dresshistory #womensmagazines #journals
