Got inspired in July to make this dress - my "Molly Gibson" pattern of a late Regency era -- 1820s style in a semi sheer cotton lawn in a bee-u-tee-ful bright aqua-sky blue.
The skirt is a bit more gathered in front than earlier Regency styles, and the sleeves are quite large!
I love puffed sleeves.
The neckline is hand edged with the tiniest, most delicate vintage creamy lace.
The hem has two layers of cascading ruffles, so flowy and spin-able!
I love being finally back to sewing for my shop! This is the first ready-made piece I have made in over a year, and it was such fun. To see more details and price, please visit the listing here.

ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to make a regency dress for myself for our Pride and Prejudice play... going to be interesting, as I don't have much of a pattern. However, I'm looking forward to the challenge! I shall now be officially stalking your blog for a while to find all the pictures I can of any regency dresses you've done... =D
Oh my, that is so beautiful! I'm particularly fond of the gathered bodice and the ruffles on the skirt. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dress! You look so good in it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Atlanta! I love the color and the style you chose for the gown :). The fabric just sweeps! I can't believe your selling it! It looks so good on you!
