1805 Jacobina Munsterhjelm - The Band for the edge

This matching sash is based on the sash worn with the original British Regency dress of 1805 Jacobina Munsterhjelm. It has been recreated to complement the matching fabric design, allowing the complete historical appearance of the original gown to be reproduced.

Reference Person: Jacobina Charlotta Munsterhjelm (1786–1842) was a Finnish noblewoman known for the detailed diary she kept between 1799 and 1801. Written in Swedish, her writings provide a rare insight into aristocratic everyday life, fashion, literature, and social customs in Finland during the Regency period. Her world reflects the same refined cultural environment in which elegant printed cotton gowns such as this became fashionable.
