A textile artist has unveiled a collection of remarkable Regency outfits she has painstakingly made out of paper.
Stephanie Smart has produced 11 life-sized outfits including a red frockcoat modelled on the style of Napoleon.
Others depict walking dresses, naval uniforms and spencer jackets from the Regency era. (1795-1837)
Her creations are on display as part of an exhibition titled The Regency Wardrobe at Firlie Place in East Sussex.
