Jane Austen Festival Bath. Luxury Regency Dressing, Costume Steaming & Wardrobe Support

Every September, the beautiful city of Bath returns to its Regency roots as thousands of visitors arrive for the internationally celebrated Jane Austen Festival Bath. Whether you're taking part in the famous Regency Promenade, attending one of the elegant evening balls, enjoying historical talks or simply exploring the city in period dress, this is one of the UK's most anticipated costume events.

For many guests, preparing their Regency wardrobe takes months. Dresses are handmade, corsets are carefully fitted, hats and gloves are chosen to complete the look, and every detail is considered. Yet after travelling to Bath, even the most beautiful outfit can arrive creased, flattened or in need of expert assistance before the day's events begin.

That's where SILVER+SILVER comes in.

I provide luxury Regency dressing, professional costume steaming and wardrobe support for guests attending the Jane Austen Festival Bath, helping you look polished, comfortable and ready to enjoy every moment.

Why the Jane Austen Festival Is So Special

The Jane Austen Festival is one of the largest Regency celebrations in the world, attracting visitors from across the UK and overseas. Bath's elegant Georgian architecture creates the perfect backdrop for the festival, allowing guests to step into the world that inspired Jane Austen's novels.

Festival highlights include the Regency Promenade, Regency Balls, historical dance workshops, guided walks, talks, afternoon teas, costume competitions, live performances, specialist shopping and visits to No.1 Royal Crescent.

Travelling With Regency Clothing

Regency clothing isn't designed for long journeys in modern suitcases. Delicate fabrics crease easily and outfits often include multiple layers including chemises, corsets, petticoats, gowns, jackets, gloves, bonnets and accessories. Professional wardrobe assistance helps you arrive looking your best.

Professional Regency Dressing Services

At SILVER+SILVER I provide discreet wardrobe support including professional garment steaming, Regency gown preparation, corset and stays lacing, dressing assistance, wardrobe styling, last-minute adjustments, outfit changes and emergency wardrobe assistance.

Corset Lacing Done Properly

Correct corset lacing creates the authentic Regency silhouette while keeping you comfortable throughout the day. Every gown hangs differently depending on how the corset is fitted, making this one of the most important parts of dressing.

Ballgown Steaming Before the Regency Ball

Professional steaming restores volume and shape after travelling, helping silk, satin, taffeta, organza and delicate fabrics look their very best for photographs and evening events.

Visiting No.1 Royal Crescent

No visit to the Jane Austen Festival is complete without visiting No.1 Royal Crescent, one of Bath's most recognisable Georgian landmarks and a favourite location for Regency photography.

More Than Costume Steaming

Wardrobe support includes arranging skirts, positioning shawls, tying ribbons, fastening delicate buttons, positioning accessories, checking hems and making sure your outfit looks elegant from every angle.

Group wardrobe support helps everyone get ready efficiently, whether you're travelling with friends, family or a Regency society.
