“Mr. Knightley’s air is so remarkably good that it is not fair to compare Mr. Martin with him. You might not see one in a hundred with gentleman so plainly written as in Mr. Knightley."
As Dress Up Day draws to a close, join us for a fabulous evening with Zack Pinsent of Pinsent Tailoring - a Bespoke Period Tailor specialising in the construction and fashion history of the 18th and 19th Century.
Zack will present a unique dressing demonstration that transports you to Mr Knightley’s Dressing Room and guides you through the layers of a gentleman’s ensemble as well as the social and historical contexts of a gentleman of means in the Regency Period.
You will also have the chance to look at and examine original pieces of clothing and accessories from the period and discover the hidden details of a gentleman’s breeches.
After the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and conversation!
Join us beforehand for drinks from 6pm!
