Using fashion prints from her collection, Candice will provide an overview of the types of clothing worn during the time of Jane Austen. Candice will explore fashions for various occasions or activities, including day wear and evening wear. Terms used during the period — such as undress, half dress and full dress — will be explained and illustrated with prints. Popular types of outerwear will also be showcased, including pelisses, spencers, and mantles.. The general evolution of style will also be discussed, including changing waistlines, hemlines, and bonnets.

Candice’s presentation uses lots of images of beautiful fashion prints from the ladies’ magazines of the period. She will also have on hand examples of individual issues of some of those magazines.

This presentation is only for AAUW members and their guests.
