Spencer

The Regency Spencer is a short jacket typically worn over a Regency gown, especially with the Afternoon Dress. It features long sleeves and a high neckline, designed to be fitted like the gown itself. The Spencer was a popular choice for women in Regency times, often paired with hats or bonnets, long coats, capes with hoods, gloves, or muffs depending on the weather.
