Evening dress, American, c. 1820

The MET Museum

"The puffing is a rare intricate feature executed completely by hand and shows the typical decoration locations of this period, with shoulder and hem details. The one surviving long sleeve indicates the dress could be worn with or without sleeves to suit the occasion and the weather."

Crowleys version of my Regency portraits! :p

I like to think that Aziraphale keeps this tucked away somewhere, maybe he likes to look at it when he’s missing a certain demon 👀

In the early century wigs for men were long and flowing, but come the mid century hair tied back, often with curls covering the ears, became the trend. Styles became shorter and tighter as time progressed, until long hair completely went out of style by the end of the century. CC links and reference images under the cut.

My Fairy Lady: Sophia & Augusta 1790's mini set

Sophia & Augusta, a mid-1790s dress, hair, and ribbon (hat) overlay for your sims in celebration of me reaching 500 Tumblr followers last week, which is very shocking considering I had around 110 in the middle of January, so thank you :)

There are scarcely any 1790s items in the sims, especially mid to late, so here you go! I also think I'm the first person to make a 1790s hair.

I used mesh pieces from @the-melancholy-maiden @buzzardly28 @javitrulovesims @cringeborg and @vintagesimstress to make all of this.

Augusta 1790s Dress works from about 1794-1799.

Sophia 1790s hair works from about 1791-1798 (and is 14k poly, sorry). Hair isn't really that compatible with other hats aside from this ribbon overlay.

BGC, hair has all natural swatches, ribbon overlay, and dress both have 30 swatches. Everything is found towards the bottom due to my display index (you should see my thumbnail)

With the dress, all the patterns are historically accurate for the time and most are striped as stripes were very popular for the latter half of the 18th century.

Here are some different angles of everything

Now, here are some actual 1790s portraits and fashion plates

The Artist and His Muse

I used to find looking at historical painted portraits to be a rather tiresome exercise. So many interchangeable faces in stuffy suits, uniforms and frilly dresses. But having the good fortune of living in the UK, where most museum entrances are free, I have had the opportunity to re-evaluate my initial misgivings. I began to appreciate the subtle hints of personality and genius brought to life…

Cream silk gauze wedding dress from 1822

"The bride was Lady Jane Lennox and the dress was worn at her wedding to Laurence Peel on 20 July 1822. Jane was the daughter of the 4th Duke of Richmond, and Charlotte, Duchess of Richmond who hosted the famous Waterloo Ball in 1815. Laurence Peel was the younger brother of the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel."

You know what absolutely fucks about Austen? Being some little old ladies companion. I just can imagine me and my grandmother waltzing the countryside, chatting shit, I read to her due to her bad eye sight and play the harpsichord or something. People ask when I will marry and my grandmother beats them off with a stick because I'm Her Companion and will not leave her for some Man.
