What does 'Regency' mean?


The Regency period itself was relatively short, lasting only
from 1811 to 1820. The era's title comes from the time when
Prince George IV was ruling in the place of his father, King
George III. The prince acted as the king's regent because
various illnesses affected the nervous system of King
George III and he was declared unfit to rule. George IV
ruled in his place until his father's death in 1820.
Even though that's the official timeline, the regency style in
fashion really began around 1795. People were shocked by
the events of the French Revolution and sought to make
their clothes less aristocratic and more functional and
simple. Styles were influenced by classical Greek and
Roman sculptures; ladies had almost column-like dresses
and men had well-fitting and tailored pants and jackets.
