Embroidered promenade dress, Met, c. 1862-64 I may be so bold as to say that, off the top of my head, this is my favourite dress at the Met!

Promenade Hat (French), Met Museum, 1865-70

Note the short hem for keeping your dress safe from sand and water on the beaches, and the unusual embroidery on the back of the bodice. She has a lovely parasol and scarf combination, don’t you think? Visit Austenprose for more information and extraordinary Regency posts!

A lovely white muslin promenade dress from 1862 to 1864. I adore when dresses look so crisp with the bold trimming! At the Met Museum.
