I made my wedding dress a few years before my wedding for a baptismal dress. I used white linen and dreamed of someday wearing it for a wedding as well.

Simply adore your patterns! I am a Tasmanian visual artist who has a mad obsession for all things Convict (1800's) - which is my excuse for making, frocking up in, and taking constitutionals in your wonderfully drafted patterns.

Next time this pattern is printed, the lines will be in place, but this should help the rest of you. I never cease to be amazed at what can go unremarked and unseen for such a long stretch of years. This is why I LOVE customer feedback.

Dear Mrs. Chancey,First, I will begin by thanking you for all of your gorgeous patterns! There is really no place like Sense and Sensibility. I love historical clothing, and making it with your patterns is so much fun. I just wanted to share these photos with you of the dress I made from your Romantic Dress pattern.

When choosing a design for my flowergirls' dresses, your Girls' Romantic Dress pattern was perfect - it had the fitted bodice and full skirt I was looking for, without a neckline that belongs on an adult. The only change

With this pattern, you can create a wide variety of dresses for day and evening–plus a jumper that can be worn over a blouse made from my Romantic Blouse pattern.

My Romantic Blouse pattern is meant to go with the jumper you can make from the Romantic Era Dress pattern, but it is also versatile enough to use for other eras, including the 1940s and 1950s!

You may not be able to buy a paisley or silk shawl, but with a luscious sport-weight alpaca yarn and this PDF pattern, you can make yourself a good substitute! The "Fleur-de-Lis Stole" is luxury itself, with a generous length for the classical Regency drape, and the combination of fleur-de-lis (a popular motif of the time) and a striking edging of fans and tassels.

A few weeks ago I made youngest daughters each two dresses from Jennie Chancey's Romantic Era Girls' Dress pattern. I have made this pattern a couple times before. Sensibility patterns are very easy to follow.

I made this dress for a school dance last winter. I didn't decide on my fabric until just a couple days before the event. I had to work quickly to finish in time, which I did, thanks to my mom and my sister! :) I did make some short-cuts--the dress had no back closure until a couple weeks ago so my sister had to sew me into it!

Here are some pictures of the Romantic era outfit I made about five years ago.

This ePattern is for the Doll's Romantic Dress ePattern and will make dresses with short sleeves, long sleeves, and flared flutter sleeves. It's fun to make matching "mommy" and "dolly" outfits, too! Fits all 18" soft-bodied dolls, like the American Girls, Magic Attic, and Beautiful Girlhood dolls.

The Girls' Romantic Era Dress is companion to the women’s Romantic Era Dress pattern. I’ve pulled sleeves and skirt width from the later Romantic period, but the fit is still very similar to the Ladies’ Romantic Era Dress.

I just finished a few gowns from your Romantic Era Dress Pattern for a customer and wanted to send you a few photos of them. They came out so prettily and I was so pleased with the pattern, I think it is my favorite so far from the ones I have used from S&S!

Last summer Gabrielle and I sewed ourselves some Wives & Daughters [Romantic Era] dresses. My sister, Gabrielle, made a dress that reminded us of Molly, while I sewed myself a dress that reminds you of Cynthia.

A few months ago I ordered some of your patterns and made a set for my niece for Christmas! I finally got the pictures! So first of all thank you so much! I am making an Etsy listing and was wondering

Hello Mrs. Chancey,I'm Aubrey Lenz. My sister, Emily, sent you pictures of the Regency gowns she made with your Regency pattern a few years ago.I graduated this spring, and Emily and I made a Romantic Era gown for my

The girls and I have been happily engrossed in the 1999 BBC miniseries ‘Wives and Daughters,’ which we have never seen before. Daisy above everyone is obsessed with Molly, Roger, and Cynthia, and is full of questions. Why does Cynthia wear two buns AND a ponytail? Why is Molly good? Is it because she
