“During the time of Jane Austen, the main functions of fashionable dress were to draw attention to the wearer, to define his social position, to show who he/ she is and what he/ she is doing. The secondary functions of fashionable dress were modesty, protection against the weather, and appeal to the opposite sex.”

“The fashions in the Repository of Arts magazine were mainly for the Haute ton or the very wealthy, however they still drove what was considered fashionable dress at other levels of society.”

“In 1809, Rudolph Ackermann began publishing the Repository of Arts. The Repository of Arts created an archive of superb hand-colored plates depicting examples of the latest women's fashion. The publication was a guide to dressmakers and their fashionable clients. The fashion plates included detailed descriptions of the type of clothing shown, its style, cut, trim, the fabrics used and their color and also detailed the style and color of accessories.”
