This is where Julia Quinn uses my Regency fashion plates to dress her Bridgerton heroines. We'll be updating the page with a new heroine every month or so. Check it out and let me know what you think. _________________

This is the first time I've seen and read a mention of a mantle to be worn over the spenser. Makes complete sense of course, especially during the frigid Regency winters. Candice, is the mantle simply draped free-form, or like the medieval versions, is it attached by a brooch? Did the mantles usually match the spenser and hat, or was it possible to have one mantle like one muff that goes with every outfit? _________________ Medieval & Regency Writer keirasoleore.blogspot.com

Did the mantles usually match the spenser and hat, or was it possible to have one mantle like one muff that goes with every outfit? It appears to be attached with a brooch in this case. I have prints that show dresses with matching mantles and spencers, and some with a mantle of a different color or fabric. And certainly a mantle could be worn without a spencer, so you might see it tossed over a white muslin dress one day and a sprigged or striped dress the next day. As now, fashion rules of the Regency were never hard and fast. _________________
