By the 1830s, the gored skirt was replaced by a fuller paneled skirt and small pleats or gathers were used to draw the fullness in at the waistband. The preference for untrimmed gowns returned and hemlines were typically ankle length (and sometimes slightly shorter).
Sleeve styles in the 1830s were diverse- but typically always very large. The gigot sleeve (later referred to as the leg-o-mutton sleeve) consisted of a large puffed sleeve at the shoulder that tapered down to a narrow, close fitting cuff at the wrist. This style along with the demi-gigot sleeve was very popular. Many bodices had V-shaped necklines and were worn with variety of chemisettes and large white collars, or pelerines, became a popular accessory.
With the return of the emphasis on the small waistline, stays and petticoats once again became a necessity. Romantic era stays were typically very lightly boned or corded, laced up the back, and had a solid wood (or sometimes ivory) busk down the center front (see image at left). Multiple layers of petticoats were worn to support the fullness of the skirt panels and a small bustle pad (also known as a skirt improver) was worn at the base of the waist.
During this period, cotton was still the preferential dress fabric. By 1825, border printed cotton was available and advancements in textile coloration made available in the United States colors such as yellow, orange, brown, and variety of blues.
When venturing out of doors, the mantle, or mantelet, was the most popular article of clothing. Wide-brimmed bonnets with high crowns were worn also.
Dresses for evening wear were of the same silhouette as the day dress, but necklines were lowered and off-the-shoulder, the chemisette was abandoned, and sleeves and skirts shortened. Finer fabrics such as silk or gauze was used for evening gowns accompanied by a more luxurious mantle or mantelets than worn for day wear. Hair ornaments and ribbons adorned elaborate hairstyles.
By 1837, the Romantic silhouette became a bit less flamboyant. The fullness of the 1830s sleeve moved further down the arm. Hemlines lengthened and sleeves became narrower. The waistline returned to it natural position and rounded and pointed front bodices became prominent.
