ReplyDeleteAccording to the book accompanying the 1995 series, the inspiration for these costumes were some drawing by Diana Sperling which were published in the book 'Mrs Hurst Dancing & Other Scenes From Regency Life 1812-1823'. Copies of the images can be found at the bottom of this post at another blog site.
