Which outerwear would you prefer to wear? A spencer, a short military style jacket, or pelisse, which was longer.
Short spencer jacket

A longer pelisse.
I personally find the spencer more elegant, as it goes well with the empire line dresses. However, I would have thought they wouldn't cover enough on most days, considering the English weather!

ReplyDeleteTough choice.
May I abstain on this one because I am not really into wearing female fashion but I do not mind period costume.
Hhmm.... something maritime?
I love the longer coat...guess because of the long coat Jennifer E. wore as Elizabeth Bennet in 1995 version of P & P while walking at Rosings with Col. Fitzwilliam.
