Vestirse a la perfección: ropa infantil en Regency
Ropa infantil en Regency y cómo evolucionó
Por primera vez en la historia, alrededor de 1770, los niños comenzaron a tener ropa diseñada solo para ellos; ya no estaban vestidos como adultos en miniatura. Esto es muy notorio en los retratos de la época, los adultos todavía lucen rígidos trajes formales, mientras que los niños parecen relajados y libres; los chicos con camisas abiertas en el cuello, las chicas con vestidos sencillos con una faja en la cintura.

quote from this article “…The most significant fact is that what the children wore gradually became the model for adult clothes. Thus, a young girl born about 1770 would wear almost the same style until she was 50!…”
This article indirectly offers more proof that the Rice portrait is likely young teen Jane Austen. Some say the picture couldn’t be a 1780s portrait of Jane Austen because of her style of dress (which was not worn by grown women till some years later).
It is likely that young 12 or 13 year old Jane Austen appears in the portrait wearing a comfortable empire style gown (which little girls of that era wore…). She is not yet “out” in society (I’m assuming) and as an active girl who likes the outdoors, living not in a fancy city but in the country, probably she was still dressed in the comfortable child’s wear of the late 1700s.
