ABOUT the PERIOD
• 
• 
• 
• 
The time period takes us through the French Revolution and in to the Napoleonic era, as well as the
early part of what was known as “The Regency” in England, and the “Federalist” period in America.
What was happening in France dominated fashion, and there were extremes. There was a dichotomy
between the classes in which clothing was an easy way to identify with ones group. The older aristocracy clung to what they knew-- “18th century-style garments. The revolutionaries on the streets wore practical “street fighter” clothes. Both men & women commonly
wore the nationalistic red, white, & blue color combination—stripes were common. Men wore loose
fitting clothing with sailor-type pants, which caused them to be known as the “Sans culottes” meaning
“without pants” because their pants were not considered acceptable as fashion. The female counterparts
wore practical shorter skirts with wooden clogs and tricorne & bicorne hats. They are often seen in
*Charbonneau engravings brandishing large knives and weapons. The remaining faction were everyday fashionable people who would not know from one day to the next
who would be in power, so loyalties shifted to save one’s head from the guillotine. These would be the
group represented in Neoclassic portraiture, such as the works of *Ingre and *David--Women languidly
lounging on Roman-inspired chaise lounge wearing “Greek” clothing amidst draping, men posed in
Roman-inspired settings. “Gallows humor” was a way to get through the difficult times, and at the large
balls that were given nightly in the spirit of “eat, drink & be merry, for tomorrow you may die”, women
wore tiny red chokers around their necks to show sympathy to victims of the guillotine, and men would
wear a red ribbon in their buttonhole. There was apparently a dance in which couples would bob up and
down as though their heads had been chopped off “A La Victime”.

The TRANSITION…
•  “A LA BEBE”: grown women dressing like little girls, is a transition
from classic Georgian into full-blown Empire. Gowns go lighter and
more “child-like”, with large pastel sashes at the waist. In the
portraiture, it is sometimes difficult to tell who is the “Mother “ and
who are the “children”. The skirt goes more columnar in silhouette,
and the waist sash retains the waistline, but adds a second “waistline”
up under the bust, which by Empire becomes the singular waist. The
girl in the painting known as “Pinkie” is wearing this style. Early
versions of it can also be seen in the work of Gainsborough. Marquise de Peze and Marquise de Rouget with Her Children.

CLOTHING STYLE
MEN
•  Fashionable men wore very stiff, formal clothing. There was much
puffing and emphasis at the chest area. Multiple vests were often
worn, with cutaway styles coats with very high collar stands, and very
wide lapels. The foldback or lapels were known as “REVERES”, and
a unique feature was the “M-NOTCH” that was formed by the joinery
of certain cuts. The vests often had lapels as well, so each layer would
fold out to reveal the other. With the addition of the cravat on top of
that—it further reinforced the “swollen” silhouette in the chest area.
TAILORING arose as a means to create the full look, and to
differentiate a quality garment. Pants were tight, and often lightercolored than the coat & vest so that the crotch area was revealed as an
erogenous zone. Thomas Paine

• 
OTHER:
•  CRAVAT: elaborate wrapped neck piece that was worn with the shirt
collar points up on the chin, and the cravat wrapped around and then

•  WALKING STICKS: accoutrement such as sticks and canes were
popular.

waist to achieve the small-waisted silhouette.
DANDIES & FOPS

•  MERVEILLUSES (Marvelous): female counterparts to incroyable—
dresses were very thin fabric, often with a sheer body-stocking

“they greeted the new regime with an outbreak of luxury, decadence, and even silliness.”
Wiki

CLOTHING STYLE
WOMEN
• 
Fashionable women wanted to appear to be like Greek statues. The silhouette
has a waist that is very high up under the bosom called an “EMPIRE
WAIST”. These had an extremely low neckline, and the skirts were very
columnar, and often had a train in back. (“ROBES EN CHEMISE”) They
could be sleeveless or have little “cap” sleeves with a small, high puff. The
long-sleeved version was fitted to the wrist, with the tiny puff at the top. They
wore “Greek accoutrement” like, ankle bracelets, arm-bands and toe rings.
The choker was popular, probably to balance the extremely low décolletage. If
you look carefully at the paintings, you can often see evidence of modesty
pieces in the neckline area, no doubt to help contain the bosom within the low
neckline. Seemingly, the corset was gone, but there is evidence of a
foundation garment that accommodated the bosom. In addition to the Greek
look, you may see some occasional “Renaissance” influence as well such as
puffing & slashing, or the occasional ruff.
