found this while looking for the difference between pelisse and redingote. What a great amount of information you have here! Thank you so much!

Most informative! Glad I found this page.

Lovely clothes. I want that 1800 coat.
I read that the pelisse came from the fur lined cape sort of garment that cavalry officers wore and was originally lined with fur. I wish we had more views of the garments. I am hoping that there are some where the back isn’t made with the diamond pattern.

Now I am trying to think back at all different clothing article names I could not place that I have read in books previously.

Thank you. Very useful information.

Fascinating. Will reread Jane Austen with new eyes. Thank you.

Loved it all. For the first time a grand selection and in colour too. Have just finished reading Sense and Sensibility” after a long gap but for the nth time. Always a joy and having this to accompany it was just great. Thanks Sharon.

Thanks for such an informative post, Sharon. I knew what a lot of the terms meant but redingote and tippet had been a mystery until now. Pelerine is also new to me but I’d not come across that one before.

The lovely pictures you’ve found make it all so much easier to envisage now, thank you.
