Ever wondered what people wore to costume balls in the Regency era? All of these amazing ensembles (and more!) can be found in Wilson Library’s copy of Characters in the grand fancy-ball given by the British Ambassador, Sir Henry Wellesley, at Vienna.… This ball–given at the end of carnival in 1826–was filled with dramatic historical and literary costumes, counting Queen Elizabeth and Ivanhoe among its many “guests.”If you want to know even more about all the costumes, entertainment, and drama of the ball, come take a look at the book in person for a little Jane Austen era party inspiration! -- source link
