Kimberly’s Regency Gown
By Jennie Chancey
Regency fashion is beautiful and elegant. I have wanted to attempt a dress from that era for ages, but being a novice sewer, I never even considered it. After reading many blogs and visiting this site several times I gave it a go.
The dress is far from perfect, but I am happy with it. I made it using inexpensive material, taking the advice of many. I believe it’s called a muslin. The dress took me four days from start to finish mainly because I was getting familiar with a brand new sewing machine. I hope to make a more dresses.

Kimberly used my original Regency Gown pattern, found under “Regency Era” in the patterns menu up top. If you are new to sewing historical clothing, I also have a class for this pattern under “Classes” above. Hope this helps!
