The ton is alive with the season once more...with the last few episodes of #bridgertons3 dropping today, which outfits will you covet from the series? Whilst they're not 'fancy', maybe they'll provide inspiration if you're heading to the Fancy Ball on Sat.

Do you like dressing fancy? We're delighted to announce a programme of #DressingFancyBath starting on 14 Jun. Thanks to a research project with @fancyhistorian, we'll be holding two-weeks of events all about fancy dress from Georgian times to today. https://t.co/uYFzHP5hBZ.

#OnThisDay 1777 John Wilkes was honoured by being asked to assist the master of ceremonies at a ball in the Bath Upper Assembly Rooms.
The event comprised 'a well-dressed crowd of near 900 persons' though 'very few persons of real fashion'...

"Friday is the grand ball for the lower rooms [at Bath], & all the pretty misses are busy in preparing the caps, which are to be set at us that night. Luckily old father Time has put me out of their power"

[The Georgian Lords @GeorgianLords]

"We had a most superb ball at the upper rooms [in Bath] last night... & the minuets are now danced 3 deep, so that they are finished in an hour & a half. Miss Wroughton bears the palm here"
Wilkes to his daughter on the ball held #OTD 1778

Mary Delany on attending a ridotto in 1730:
"it is the most entertaining sort of assembly, because you are at liberty to wander about as much as you please, & there is dancing, tea, coffee, chocolate, & all sorts of sweetmeats."
