I have been trying lately to expand my focus and appreciation for all 19th century gowns. Β While I used to not thoroughly enjoy the large mutton sleeve of the 1820’s, I was surprised at how the simplicity of the gowns began to appeal to me. Β While it may not be my favorite decade, the uniqueness of the large sleeve paired with the shorter skirt can’t be denied. Β I found a few of my favorite styles…and since the Regency Era was just ending, I love seeing the transition occur with these gowns!
