When I first visited this website, I was looking at the show and tell section, and someone had made their two little girls dresses with this fabric. I thought they were so cute, and I was very excited to find the same fabric at Wal*Mart. Here is Honey in her new dress, and in the [...]

I simply love all of the Sense and Sensibility patterns, especially because I am permitted to use them professionally. When a friend commissioned me to make a dress for her little girl, I knew exactly where to find the perfect pattern. Her description of the ‘dream outfit’ fit the Regency dress and pelisse closely, so [...]

I had ordered the pattern awhile ago and got some excellent advice on the board about which size to order for my quickly growing 11yo dd. She’s growing so fast that she outgrew the muslin I started working on for her to wear to a bridal shower. Three days before the shower I had to [...]

Well, here it is. My first Regency dress! I made a few changes to the pattern to make it more modern and my style, raising the neck line a little, and shortening the skirt. I also had to make all the Miss Petite changes to the bodice. I bought the fabric early in the spring [...]

I am so excited to start the dresses for my younger girls! The other photos are of my students in my Jane Austen Class and then my oldest daughter in blue and her friend in a pale green, made from the Simplicity pattern of your Regency Dress! Thanks again for the wonderful service and the [...]

Jennie, had I sent you these pictures of Lizzie in her regency gown I made last summer? I thought you might like them for your show and tell page. Blessings, Rebecca N. Rebecca is a dear friend and one-time Seamstress-in-Residence. She started Baker Lane as a custom sewing business many years ago, and it now [...]

Hello! I received your Elegant Ladies Closet and Regency Underthings patterns for my 16th birthday this past December, and was so elated! A dear friend of mine and I are planning to do a Regency challenge for all of 2009, wearing only period correct Regency clothing the whole year, so I got to sewing my [...]
