Then again, the no-petticoat trend right around the turn and opening of that century was about as short.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the paintings, they really are lovely, if a bit ... I don't know. Idealized, perhaps? The thing I noticed most was the women's dead-white skin.

Liz, not sure I saw "Impromptu"—will have to check it out. Miss Susan, I did mean the first half of the decade. The fashions of the early 1800s (Regency/Empire style) were not what I'd call extravagant or exuberant, though they were very beautiful in their own way. The enormous sleeves and extreme hair really got going about 1830 (there's some in the late 1820s) and started to go away about 1836.<br /><br />Loretta Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144208933494829602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-91746213481563203982017-04-13T14:46:22.779-04:002017-04-13T14:46:22.779-04:00I don't mean to sound critical but I think you...I don't mean to sound critical but I think you mean "... the first half of the century..." instead of decade.

Just re-watched "Impromptu", the 1990s movie about Chopin and George Sand (Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, et al.)--gives a good feel for the fashion of the era. I'm in love with George's white dress with the red posies.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-76012508165806950162017-04-13T08:57:16.094-04:002017-04-13T08:57:16.094-04:00I do love the 1830s.

Onegin (starring Liv Tyler) is a good example of a film which took place in the 1830s and the art direction did a fairly good job. Also, the Greer Garson version of Pride and Prejudice used 1830s costumes, instead of the usual Regency fare. Cynthia Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550592770287010816noreply@blogger.com
