Lace as a luxury was carried over from the 17th century, used as a status simple for the wealthy to flaunt. From the mid-century on it migrated to the neck in the form of delicate chokers, which were a fashionable alternative to traditional jewelled necklaces. As hairstyles became larger hat styles became smaller until they were discarded altogether for a time, followed by extremely large hats that accommodated the curls, plaits and frizzed hair beneath. CC links and reference images under the cut.

Right in the middle of the 18th century, we have this absolutely frothy pink gown that screams springtime. Yellow bows? Sign me up!
If there is a timeless shape, I'm willing to bet it's this one. Though this doesn't have quite the volume of some of the dresses in this period, it still endures again in the 1830s and 1840s, the 1870s and 1880s, and then again in the 1950s. A fitted bodice, a 3/4 sleeve, and a flared skirt. Plus that gorgeous scoop neck.
This robe à la française was owned by Mrs. Maria Altenburg of Denmark. It then had some adventures of its own, showing up later in Victorian Era costume parties! So it's likely it's had alterations. Most dresses of this era have.
I love the floral spill and the ribbon details! Really marvelous on every level. I am obsessed.

(youtuber voice) Hiii, today we'll be getting dressed in the hottest 1796 styles!
Midlanders wear a lot of layers. Yet Lucas insists on getting ready by himself. The servants used to try to help, but he hisses like a threatened cat every time.

Some of the surviving clothes and personal belongings of Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
1) a favorite white waistcoat originally belonging to King George II (1683 - 1760) bearing their shared initials; Byron wore this on his wedding day
2) a red embroidered jacket from Albania
3) a green fur-lined jacket given to him by Edward Trelawny

5) a gold embroidered vest from Albania
6) a ring, thought to be his engagement ring
7) a pocket-watch bearing the Byron family crest
