Thanks so much for the reference. I'm collecting travelers' accounts and that
sounds like a great one.

The question of regional variations is fascinating. On the off chance
that Google Books might provide some clues I went looking for Antwerp
1817. As a location and time so close to, and soon after, Waterloo it
seemed reasonable to suppose that there might be something written by
someone English

It is an interesting question, isn't it? My take on that phrase has
always been that when she wrote Northanger Abbey in 1798-1799, pinning
up a train would have been necessary, particularly in the crowded
assembly rooms at Bath. It would have still been an accurate statement
when Austen revised
And, as an aside, if making a formal gown for evening, be sure to
differentiate between 'ball dress' and 'evening wear.' I have yet to
find an image of a post-1810 ball gown that has a train. Up to and
around 1810 there are plenty of 'full dress' or 'evening wear' or 'opera
dress' gowns that do
Sounds lovely. Answering the question of what to do with a train, both
in terms of carrying it and in terms of protecting it, is a challenge.
Here are some thoughts:
For the gowns just before 1800 that were fuller, women are shown
twisting the train up behind their backs, holding a bit of it u
train. That train is not long enough to drape over the arm.

And the fact that "nobody" seems to know how to behave around a train,
and if it ever hits the floor somebody will step on it.

I recently read (will try to hunt down the source, so this isn't official)
that they normally wore the train over one arm. The point was to bring the
skirt close to the legs to emphasize the "nearly naked" look.
So trains didn't trail, they helped you look naughty. ;-)
And they stayed clean!

Dear Annanbel,
there were no trains in the "Regency period".
The Prince Regent [ Prinny] became King George IV in 1820, and the first
railway opened in 1828. So one could posit that the first trains were
"Georgian".
Sorry, couldn't resist that.
