Recreating Regency Era Fashion in Dress To Impress

About The Regency Era

The Regency Era is a period in history that saw the transfer of power from King George III to his son, George IV. This was accompanied by a shift in the societal landscape of Britain, which saw a resurgence of extravagant balls and social gatherings. The Romantic art movement was on the rise, reintroducing the masses to the beauty of nature through various artistic media. Naturally, people’s wardrobes followed suit.

Clothing articles were loose, with flowing dresses and gowns being particularly prevalent. Accompanying the long dresses were gloves and flat shoes with contrasting colors to complement the primary shades of the clothes. Accentuating these elements were chokers and modest necklaces, highlighting the neckline that would be left bare otherwise.

The most common hairstyles during this period prominently featured curls, styled to frame the person’s eyes. Some opted to pull their long hair back in a loose bun, while others preferred it cropped short to accentuate their facial features even further.

Optionally, certain dames opted to adorn their hair with a headpiece of their choice. Usually, this was either a bonnet or a modest tiara of flowers or gemstones. Some headpieces were a drastic departure from what came before or since. They were often made out of silk, which was similar to the dresses, with their size being a defining feature.

Assembling a Regency Era ensemble in Dress To Impress

So, how does one create a dress based on this specific period in our Roblox fashionista simulator? Since finding the exact elements needed for a Regency Era ensemble is not possible, we must use the closest approximations instead.

Start with the longest dress you can find in the lobby. Two dresses that fit the bill can be chosen from the area next to the VIP room. The color of choice would be a light peach, pale yellow, or light cyan, but you can experiment with them to your heart’s content.

Next, you can move to the area next to Lana’s Salon to select your shoes, hat, and necklace. Flat-footed shoes are not available in the common area, so the next best option would be wedged shoes. For the hat, consider picking the one that sits askew atop your avatar’s head. Not only would it be closer to period accuracy, but it would complement your dress rather well.

Next, the necklace is on the shelf below the hat. Take your pick, experiment with the colors of each element you’ve chosen thus far, and try to color coordinate to the best of your abilities. After all, you only have 325 seconds to finalize your outfit.

Now, visit Lana’s Salon for the final touches. For hair, pick a curly updo hairstyle with a natural hair color. The nail styles for the era were predominantly short and were not colored since it was a full century before the invention of nail paint. Lastly, the period-accurate makeup prioritized an even complexion over vibrant colors. Consider picking light colors that are closer to your avatar’s natural skin tones.

With that, your Regency Era look is ready to stun everyone when the runway walk begins.
