Mercy A. enrolled in my Regency Gown class in 2022 and has just gone to town with making one gown after another—then altering the pattern to create overdresses and more. I am so proud of her work, which she shares here!

I love it when long-time customers send me links to what they’ve been up to, and this one totally takes the cake. Laura and her friend, Michele, decided to recreate looks from the new “Emma” film, and WOW!! The historical eye candy is real, folks!

WWD contacted me a few weeks ago to talk about a new trend their editors had spotted due to the massive uptick in viewers of Regency film and television adaptations over the last year. They’d christened it “Regencycore”….

This very talented seamstress just reached out to share what she had made with my patterns, and I was bowled over! I always cheer hardest for beginners, but I hardly think she fits that category any longer. BRAVA, Adina! This is simply spectacular work!

I first saw Ang Lee’s beautiful adaptation of “Sense & Sensibility” on the big screen in 1995. It immediately became a favorite that I have watched countless times since its premier. I love all the costumes in the film, but the one that struck me most from the first viewing was Marianne’s beautiful nightgown/wrapper, which Kate Winslet wears in two key scenes. I am so pleased I’ve finally managed to pull together all my in-progress photos, plus a video I made to walk you through the steps!
