The time of the Empire/ Regency lasted from 1795 to 1820 and can be divided roughly into three subcategories of fashion styles.
Contrary to persistent fashion misconceptions, such as the ‘muslin disease,’ numerous period fashion illustrations depict an array of coats, jackets, and overdresses in a spectrum of colors and diverse materials, including silk, fabric, velvet, and fur.
A redingote, derived from the English ‘riding coat,’ is a full-length coat crafted from woolen fabric. Redingotes were frequently embellished with braids, imitating the style of hussar military jackets.
A pelisse, on the other hand, is a lightweight coat or overdress that ranges from calf-length to floor-length.
A spencer, a shorter jacket, could feature a peplum or not, depending on the design.
Additionally, individuals of the era often opted for colored pashmina shawls and tunics.
It’s worth noting that these terms were not consistently used in fashion publications of the time and have evolved over the years.
