September wallpaper

by HML

Web server problems can’t keep us completely down:  the September wallpaper is ready for download from Solitary Elegance.

This month we’re examining fashions for special occasions:  a mourning dress from September 1809 on the left, and the stunning Glengarry riding habit from September 1817 on the right.  The background is derived from an Ackermann’s Repository embroidery pattern from 1816, and the quotation from Persuasion sets the autumn mood.  Enjoy!

    Two superb Regency costume plates- the Glengary lends a dramatic touch whilst a Mourning dress is appropriate for September as Jane Austen died in August. Lovely work, Heather… Oh, and keep up the good work. ;)

    Nice new avatar! I hope she’s not too put out that she didn’t make the cut for the September wallpaper. The competition to be a calendar girl is pretty fierce. ;-) But that dinner dress is one of my favorites, too.

    Thankyou ! I selected Miss 1815 as appropriate for the Lady Susan Soiree. Am now agonising, a purple Pelisse-or blue ? :)
