The Georgians - Dress to Impress (Georgian Fashion)

Welcome to season 3! Whether you're a loyal follower or a new listener, it's lovely to have you with us.

In this first episode we explore Georgian Fashion. Perhaps not the usual things you might expect though... We've headed down a less well-trodden path strewn with umbrellas, fake bottoms, glasses and hair towers.

As usual we'll be considering our topic from a sensory perspective and using contemporary sources to help us. The sources for this episode are:

* Article from the Bath Chronicle, 31st May 1773.

* The Bum Shop, print by artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson.

* Portrait by Henry Edridge of Princess Sophia, daughter of George III and Queen Charlotte.

* Extract from The Sylph (Letter XIII), a novel by Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire.
