I must start out by saying that I absolutely adore your website and all the beautiful clothes! I have been sewing since I was a small child (I’m 17 now), and have made two Regency dresses so far; this is my second (and favorite!). I’ve been wanting to make a white Regency dress for a [...]

Kara’s Darling Girl’s Regency Dress

I’m an adventurous beginner seamstress. I like to pretend I know what I’m doing — but in reality, I don’t have the faintest clue. I got the regency pattern for me, and made my dress, and I think I attempted to alter it more than my skill would allow — its looks pretty funny. So, [...]

Melanie’s Sumptuous Regency Ballgowns

Since the very early days of being a Jane Austen fan, I have longed for the opportunity to dress up in a Regency ballgown. I had made myself some Regency day dresses, but not a ballgown… until we were invited to a Regency-themed Christmas ball! I ended up making two gowns: one for me, and [...]

Rachel’s Regency Crossover Gown

Rachel’s Regency Crossover Gown

I have wanted a regency dress for a long time–especially since the plethora of good Austen movies have been made available! My mother purchased “The Elegant Lady’s Closet” collection for my Christmas present last year, and since then I had wanted to make myself a dress, but lacked an something to motivate me. When we [...]

Katie’s Regency Drawstring Dress

Katie’s Regency Drawstring Dress

This was a Regency dress I made by playing around with several different patterns I found (one of which was yours). Instead of a button closer in the back I decided to use a drawstring closer and hid part of that by the waistline ribbon. It won first place at the County Fair! Which made [...]
