Here are pictures of another dress I made. I thought you might enjoy seeing them. Other than the cranberry crossover, this is my favorite. It’s basically your original Regency gown, but with the neckline cut a little more squarely.
Enjoy! ~ Melissa T.
Note the detachable undersleeves that take this dress from day to evening. Beautiful! A former student of mine, Melissa creates Regency Gowns for sale through her home business, “Stitching the Standard.” You can find Melissa’s offerings through her eBay store!

But I have instructions in the pattern for creating hidden buttonholes in the sleeeband to button the undersleeves in place. Hope this helps!
