These lovely gowns and their accompanying descriptions appeared in the August 1821 edition of the Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashions &c. The walking gown looks perfect for a blustery day at Brighton…although let’s hope it wasn’t a hot one!
Mystery, magnetism, and marzipan
Scottish singer Emma Bryson travels to London determined to fulfill a deathbed promise to her mother to sing for the Queen. Her debut at a fashionable salon starts brilliantly but ends in disaster when the usually poised Emma tumbles backwards and lands on the champagne-buffed boots of Philip Henry Jamison, the earl of Blackbourne and London's most eligible bachelor.
