As the Romantic era arrived, clothing became more complex and increasingly structured. The previous design simplicity was replaced with decorative excess. Horizontal hem treatments added focus to skirts. Wide lapels created shoulder emphasis and the sleeves and shoulders were further emphasized with extended wings.

Surface ornamentation, color and print positively abounded. Three- dimensional effects in trimmings were achieved with padding. The waistline dropped much closer to it's natural spot and was often accentuated by a wide belt. Pelisses and Spencer jackets continued to be worn for warmth.
