Lizzie Quilted Reversible Waistcoat

Our lovely Lizzie, second name Bennet if you must know, quilted reversible waistcoat comes in our two iconic prints for the Spring Summer season. Our Leafy colour-way of the Vauxhall Toile showcases all of the frivolity of the Regency period, and on the reverse is the County Seats print, created from illustrations from a historic book called ‘County Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen in Great Britain & Ireland.’

It is made from 100% Quilted Cotton with Leafy Green velvet trim and ties. Fully lined and reversible with a structured ruffle at the hem. Embroidered lovers eye features on the back.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife” could be the most famous line ever written in English Literature and it’s legacy has inspired this collection. Our prints reflect a rose-tinted frolic through the English Countryside inspired by Regency high society’s outdoor pursuits of the day, imbued with a celebration of nature in line with our renewed appreciation of the natural world. Explore the scandal and pleasure of Vauxhall Gardens, take a leisurely stroll through the Maze Gardens, maybe even admire some of the County Seats of a certain dashing eligible bachelor. Shapes are formed from our own interpretation of Gentleman’s riding coats, tea-dresses worn with Spencer Jackets for picnics at Box Hill and what we like to think of as a female dandy of the time with “superb self-confidence.”
