About the Author

JODY GAYLE, bestselling author and researcher, likens her work to that of a literary archaeologist rather than a traditional author. She is dedicated to unearthing publications of the past, and sharing these long-forgotten books... the jewels and riches of the written word. She has uncovered tens of thousands of old publications from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and wants to bring them to life, and send her readers traveling back in time.

“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.”
Jody Gayle, Fashions in the Era of Jane Austen

“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.”
Jody Gayle, Fashions in the Era of Jane Austen

“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.”
Jody Gayle, Fashions in the Era of Jane Austen
