In 1830, Queen Adelaide, wife of William IV, announced her intention of banning French fashions from the Court. Mrs Bell, a London dressmaker, expressed her satisfaction with this in her magazine World of Fashion. For her first drawing room, fixed for the 24th of February 1831, all the ladies who attend are expected to appear in dresses of British manufacture, and which also be made up by English dressmakers; the foolish mania of employing French dress-makers has subsided - their arrogance and impudence have discarded them from the presence of English ladies; the talents of the English dress-maker and milliner cannot be surpassed by any foreigner.
