This mood board is so "me!" From the dainty perfume bottles, to the vintage fashions, to the luscious feminine sleepwear.....I love it all!

Nothing highlights a neckline or sleeve quite like Venise lace. Originating in Italy as well as other parts of Europe, these intricate laces were originally made by hand and it could take years to complete one piece to accent a garment.

Simple Pleasures Couture garments are tastefully adorned with Venise lace made right here in the USA. https://www.belovedlinens.net/lace/Venetian-lace-base.html https://owlcation.com/humanities/History-of-Lace-Making https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lace

I love this movie (and ALL Jane Austen movies!). Watched this one five times this weekend! I am fascinated by fashion history, and that of the Regency era is one of my favorites. I love the empire waistlines, the masses of tiny little pleats all around, the Spencer jackets.....plus all sorts of other details very specific to this period. http://www.susannedietze.com/dressing-the-regency-lady.html The theme of the movie Miss Austen Regrets is her biographical sketch, giving the viewer insight into why she wrote what she did. I am such a fan of this and all Jane Austen movies. I have been known to...
