Pelisse, please! I admit, I'm a total sucker for Regency fashion... and I don't post about it enough. One of the reasons I love the era so much is because of the layering. The pelisse, and the sort here with Van Dyck appliqué (that's what you call those zigzags) just look so stunning. To say nothing of the color! It doesn't matter what century, I will always swoon for green.⁣ ⁣ The pelisse came from--as much of the fashion of the period--military influence. Women, surprisingly, started modeling much of their clothing after soldiers' styles. That's how you get the long lines and buttons you see here. This particular gown is from 1818, and you can already see the slight dropping of the waist as we edge our way toward the Romantic period and away from the Empire waist that was so pervasive during the Regency. ⁣ ⁣ From the Maryland Center for Culture and History's description: Green silk pelisse worn by Eliza Eichelberger Ridgely (1803-1867). Its distinguishing features include a silk braid cord with metal tassels, high collar, double-puffed sleeves, and silk appliqued "Vandyke"-style embellishments.⁣
