Regency Balls
Have you ever wished you could attend a Regency ball? In Queensland, Australia, The Abbey Museum holds a celebration of the era every year, where guests can dance traditional Regency dances, eat food from the era, play games which were popular for the time, and, of course, dress in beautiful Regency clothing for the occasion. #Regency #ball
Regency Theatre Attendance
During the Regency, going to the theatre was more of a social experience than to actually watch the show. Patrons were known to arrive late and talk throughout the entire performance. The most important part was seeing who was there and making social — or even romantic — connections! A bit different than the theatre etiquette we have today! #Regency #theatre
Regency Fashion: Metal Buttons
Metal buttons, which have been used throughout history, had not been seen for a while but made a comeback in men’s fashion during the Regency. Women’s clothing, however, tended to use bows, ties, and hook closures more than buttons.#Regency #fashion #buttons
Regency Pets
Birds have been a popular pet for many years. During the Regency, birds were kept in the household as well as in outdoor aviaries, especially as part of a larger garden. Have you ever kept a bird as a pet? What type is your favorite? #Regency #birds
