The distinctive style of the Regency period is a source of endless fascination for fashion academics and historians; living historians; re-enactors and costume designers for stage and screen. Author and fashion historian Cassidy Percoco has delved into little-known museum hoards to create a stunning collection of 26 garments; many with clear provenance tied to a specific location; which have never before been published and never - or very rarely - displayed. Most of the garments have an aspect in their construction that has not been previously documented; from a style of skirt trim to the method of gown closure. This practical guide begins with a general history of the early 19th-century womens dress. This is followed by 26 patterns of gowns; spencers; chemises; and corsets; each with an illustration of the finished piece and description of its construction. This must-have guide is an essential reference for anyone interested in the fashions or the history of the period; or for anyone wishing to recreate their own beautiful Regency clothing.

The first edition of this was my guide to entering the workforce as a photo educator. and I still reference it for inspiration. guidance. and thoughtful discussion. When the second edition came out I didnt hesitate to get a copy and I am very happy with the updated information and approach from the additional voices involved as well as the new. inspiration student images. There is an excellent section on critiques and a great chapter on collaborative learning. which I think has an increasing place and purpose in modern education. Ive been teaching since 2008 and find this one of my most valued resources for photographic education.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
