Amber Lyster often wonders if she was born in the wrong era. The 34-year old from Perth has always been obsessed with the likes of Jane Austin, Marie Antoinette and the Duchess of Devonshire and more recently her head’s been turned by Netflix’s Bridgerton, depicting Regency London.
“It’s my guilty pleasure,” she tells Woman’s Day. “The costumes and scenery are a real feast for the eyes. Lady Danbury is my favourite, hands down. She always slays.”
Over the years her obsession has fuelled a dressmaking hobby and Amber’s travelled all over the world to events in which to wear her creations. She recently attended a costume ball at Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte in France, where guests dress up in period costumes and live the life of 17th-century nobles.
