Sir John Soane's Museum -
This museum was formally the home of architect Sir John Soane. It still houses his extensive collection of architectural drawings, paintings, books, plaster casts and sculptures
In 1805 Mrs Soane bought James Durno's 'The Merry Wives of Windsor', from the sale of Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery.

The men and women in the painting were still wearing big collars, where as in the Neoclassical period they had become very discrete or even non-existent.
From this painting you are able to see how clothing has changed and evolved through time.
