In the spring report you could already read about the 2022 trend "Pearls & Glitter 2022". This trend emerged from the Netflix series "Bridgerton" and had a major fashion influence on the rebirth of the Regency era. We are seeing an influence of this trend for 2023 as well. After fashion has tended towards comfortable homewear in recent years, there is now a move towards elegant clothing. People want to dress up again.
(Comfortable) corsets are here to stay
The social media platform TikTok has been full of corset tops for months. Young seamstresses in particular are currently sewing themselves tops with corset details and lacing. This trend is now going more and more mainstream and people are combining them with white blouses with puff sleeve details or simple T-shirts. The corsages can be opulent or understated and in plain colours.
Material for making everyday corsets:
Floral patterns in jackets and dresses
In Regency Romance we see mainly floral, flat patterns with bright colours in predominantly green and pink. Among the qualities we see cotton, shiny Lyocell or croup, as well as heavy fabrics such as jacquard and brocade.
The cuts of the dresses and jackets are influenced by the cottage-core trend, which focuses on a return to the rural.
That means ruffles, long dresses, puffed sleeves, lace and lacing as well as shirts and knitted cardigans are essential.
