In the late 1790s and first two decades of the 19th century, fashions emulated antique Greek and Roman statues with vertical lines, a preference for white muslins, classical hair-styles and ornament. Classical form with Greek ornament was fashionable 1800-1803; classical form with Egyptian and Etruscan ornament 1804-1807; classical form became less pure with Spanish ornament 1808-1810. Scholarly works, notably Thomas Hope's 'Costume of the Ancients' of 1809, continued to inspire fashions once the initial craze had passed.
