I’ve launched a new jewelry line called The Josephine collection, named after Napoleon’s lovely wife. These are very accurate reproductions of Georgian and Regency-era jewelry, using the best materials I can get my hands on, including my new custom-made collet settings, which are the most accurate on the market. I’m so pleased with how lovely everything is and even more pleased that they are so versatile. I hope you’ll check out my reproduction jewelry.
I’ve just done a new blog post about millinery flowers in Regency fashion plates, which inspired some floral updates to my Regency ball gown.
Above plates all from Journal des Dames et des Modes. Please check the blog post for dates and more images!

What a magnificent cloak! Yellow on yellow is a great combination and such a striking color! (Also: He’s hot)

Not a fashion plate, but too gorgeous to pass by…

Another yellow court gown. May I take a moment to point out the most epic feather in the history of feathers.

Another beautiful court gown as an apology. I don’t typically like yellow very much, but this is such a bright and cheery color that I can forgive it!

My apologies for my lack of posts, readers. My new job is frying my brain. I come home and can barely put a coherent sentence together, so tumblin’ is dropping off the to-do list. I’ll try harder.
As an apology, here are some magnificent court gowns!

The green gown is a gorgeous color, and what an unusual bonnet she has!
