description: The distinctive style of the Regency period is a source of endless fascination for fashion academics and historians living historians re-enactors and costume designers for stage and screen. Author and fashion historian Cassidy Percoco has delved into little-known museum hoards to create a stunning collection of 20 garments many with clear provenance tied to a specific location which have never before been published and never or very rarely displayed. Most of the garments have an aspect in their construction that has not been previously documented from a design for petticoat quilting to the shape of a jacket peplum.
