Coming soon! My article on Queen Anne’s wardrobe has been accepted into the Journal for #18thC studies.
In it I provide a qualitative & quantitative overview of her extensive wardrobe accounts (including makers & suppliers) & the ways that fashion influenced her representational strategies!
Formal Portrait of Queen Anne in a version of her coronation robes Queen Anne’s Wardrobe: Fashion, Sartorial Politics and the Representational Strategies of the last Stuart Queen The final Stuart monarch, Queen Anne, has often been overlooked in studies of visual and material culture, particularly of fashion and dress. This article is the first to undertake a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the wardrobe accounts of Queen Anne, situating her consumption within the context of the eighteenth-century fashion marketplace and her representational strategies. Doing so reveals the queen to be a more complex and active participant in fashion culture, and her own image-making, than has previously been acknowledged. With the help of those around her, such as those in the Office of the Robes, including her Mistress of the Robes, Anne used contemporary fashions, including her beloved mantua gown, and informal conventions in portraiture to craft a distinct image of an English, and then British, protestant queen which spoke to her moment and articulated sovereignty in distinctly early eighteenth-century terms.
