Dress for Excess - new exhibition celebrates fashion in Regency England The spectacular coronation robe worn by King George IV will form the centrepiece of a new fashion exhibition at Brighton's magnificent Royal Pavilion. Dress for Excess: Fashion in Regency England, which opens on February 5 and runs for a year, celebrates the life of George IV as Prince, Regent and King, through the fashions of the late Georgian period. The exhibition, organised by the Royal Pavilion & Museums, part of Brighton & Hove City Council, also provides an insight into the way these fashions from the late 18th and early 19th century have helped to influence the clothes we wear today. George loved fashion and design - the more opulent and extravagant the better - and the exotic, oriental design of the Royal Pavilion, which was his seaside residence, bears testament to this. His coronation was the most expensive in British history and his huge coronation robe is going on public display for the first time in 30 years. The silk velvet robe, which is trimmed with ermine, measures more than five metres (16 feet) long and needed eight bearers rather than the usual six to carry it at the coronation. The exhibition will include men and women's fashions, from a tailored dandy's costume and military uniform worn at the Battle of Waterloo to elegant high-waisted cotton muslin gowns and beautiful silk garments, highlighting style influences from the period and themes from George's life. The costumes are displayed across a number of rooms, set against the grand backdrop of the Royal Pavilion. A new exhibition space, the Prince Regent Gallery, is dedicated to George himself. On display will be items of his clothes, including a beautifully printed banyan (an early form of indoor coat or dressing gown) from the 1770s and huge breeches worn towards the end of his life as his waistline expanded. Alongside his coronation robe will be two costumes worn in his coronation procession. To complemen
