Kyoto Costume Institute Fashion Book

Posted in Book review, Fashions, jane austen, Regency style, tagged Kyoto Costume Institute, Regency Gowns. Regency fashion on July 11, 2008| 3 Comments »

I’ve just ordered this fabulous book, and can’t wait to see it in person. Contained within its pages are luscious photographs like these:

Yellow silk taffeta dress (1803) with black silk net shawl with polychrome floral embroidery, and yellow and green silk knit pineapple reticule (c. 1800) with trimmings of silver beads and tassels.

Order information for the book:
