Fashions in the Era of Jane Austen is a comprehensive pictorial guide of ladies’ fashions collected from one of the most influential periodicals of Austen’s lifetime – Ackermann's Repository of Arts.

The book contains more than 275 exquisite illustrations which are accompanied by the original descriptions, as published more than two hundred years ago.

Fashions in the Era of Jane Austen covers twelve years of fashion in the Georgian and Regency periods (1809-1820).

Costume designers, researchers, authors, and fashion lovers will all treasure these authentic examples of fashionable dress in the era of Jane Austen.
