From the National Gallery of Victoria​ Melbourne: "From the 'little white dress’ in every woman's wardrobe to voluminous sleeves, bold necklines and romantic plaids and tartans, fashion of the long Regency era (1795-1820s) was as daring as it was demure. As part of Observations, US-based fashion historian and author Hilary Davidson explores the detail, craftspersonship and evolution of women’s fashion in the Regency era.​"
