Simple, elegant beauty. Whether you prefer to call it Georgian or Regency, this Empire waist design is certainly recognizable. Dating from 1810, just a year before George III was too ill to continue his reign. It was another 10 years, however, until George III passed away and George IV took up the mantle of King.
I love the elegance and simplicity of the early Regency period, and this gown happens to be in one of my favorite colors, too. The beaded and lace details on the sleeves and bodice are delicate and dainty, while that gold silk still has its luster.
Personally, I love how you can see this dress as part of the evolution from round gowns just earlier.
I may have written a dress very similar to this in my own Regency fantasy novel. Just saying. Yellow dresses are pure magic.
From the McCord Museum.
