About the Author
Timely Tresses, the joint venture of Mandy Foster and Dannielle Perry, strives to provide historically accurate bonnets and bonnet patterns for styles spanning the nineteenth century. This volume shares one aspect of their research, hand-colored fashion plates from antique periodicals. Mandy Foster, a thirteen-year veteran of living history, studies fashion history, and teaches sewing, design, and patternmaking. After completing an internship at Past Patterns, she graduated in 2002 from Oklahoma State University with a B.S. in Apparel Design and Production and a minor in History. Mandy and her husband Sean own Baker Lane, specializing in vintage-inspired motherhood sewing patterns, and Foster & Foster Clothiers, specializing in reproduction WWII British dress hats. Mandy, Sean, and their two children make their home in North Carolina. Dannielle Perry, an active participant in living history for twelve years, conducts ongoing research on nineteenth century fashion based on original garments, antique periodicals, and period photography. With her skills in sewing, knitting, quilting, and spinning, Dannielle creates numerous impressions for herself, family, and friends. A former teacher with a B.A. in English and a minor in History from North Carolina State University, Dannielle resides in North Carolina with her husband Randy and their three children.

Good book for fashion plates, but would have given 4.5 stars if I could have,
This review is from: Regency Era Fashion Plates: 1800-1819 (Paperback)
This book has a great deal of fashion plates from various contemporary sources of the time. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could have simply because the reproductions are at times very faint, so details are a bit soft. It's my guess that someone went a little overboard photoshoping them, trying to get the backgrounds white (originals would have been on an off white/cream ground)and in doing so have washed out the lighter tone. Still, it's a fairly good and large collection all in one book. Only womens fashion though - well there's one male costume in the middle.

This review is from: Regency Era Fashion Plates: 1800-1819 (Paperback)
This book was just what I wanted. The fashion plates are a good size and the details show up well.
You have to remember that these are copies of drawings, they are not photographs of models. There are so many different looks and styles that I have already picked out 4 outfits I want to make.

This review is from: Regency Era Fashion Plates: 1800-1819 (Paperback)
This compilation of fashion plates from the early 19th century includes many that I have not seen before, either in published collections or on-line. The book would have been a little more useful, though, with some written material accompanying the plates. I recommend it to anyone who is studying early 19th century fashion. It can serve as a good source of inspiration for those creating their own re-created fashions of the era.
