Exposed shoulders Written by Myretta (2/3/2010 3:42 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, "...two ugly naked shoulders!", penned by BarbaraB

Jane Austen wouldn't be seeing fully naked shoulders, but in at that time, there was a great deal exposed in ball gowns. Here is a ballgown from 1809:

Jessamyn's costume page has a selection of period fashions.

Our one Janeinfo page also has an extensive collection of period costume illustrations.

I think you'll find a lot of shoulders on view. Probably not all of them attractive.
