1811 1897 Dream Edwardes Gown Jane Sleeves Sumptuous
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite 19th-century portrait, Lady Jane Dering, nee Edwardes, is depicted in a sumptuous evening gown that would have been the envy of many. The year is around 1811, and Lady Jane, wife of Sir Edward Dering, is dressed in a gown of rich, dark fabric, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery. The most striking feature of the gown, however, are the extravagant sleeves that cascade down to the floor, creating a dreamlike illusion. Lady Jane's elegant posture and regal bearing convey a sense of grace and refinement, while her piercing gaze engages the viewer and invites them into her world. The portrait captures the opulence and grandeur of the Regency era, a time when fashion was a powerful statement of wealth and status. The sleeves of Lady Jane's gown are so voluminous that they could easily be described as a shoplifter's dream. The intricate details and delicate materials would have been tempting targets for those seeking to acquire such luxurious items without paying the high price tag. However, this portrait serves as a reminder that the true value of such garments lies not in their ability to be stolen, but in the beauty and craftsmanship that went into creating them. Lady Jane's portrait is a testament to the artistry of the time, and a window into the world of the wealthy and privileged. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when fashion was a language of its own, and the most extravagant garments were a symbol of power and prestige. This portrait, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any historical collection, providing a unique insight into the fashion and social history of the Regency era. It is a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion.
