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.

Dear Mrs Chancey,As promised (better late than never), here are some pictures of some of the dresses i have made from your Elegant Lady's Closet pattern . I find the pattern very versatile and have made over 30 dresses from it

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

I'm delighted to announce that Sense & Sensibility's creative order fulfillment gal, Heather (who packages and mails all your orders with her homeschooling family!), is now creating beautiful pinafores and pantaloons from my patterns for her new Etsy shop, Sew In Joy!

This is my original Regency gown pattern, modeled after the styles of the middle Regency and particularly appropriate for 1810s impressions. If you're new to this time period, this is the pattern I recommend starting with, as it goes together very easily.

I created this pattern by pulling research together from several sources (along with customer requests!). I studied a Spencer jacket in the D.A.R. Museum collection and one at the Valentine. I also drew from Janet Arnold’s wonderful Patterns of Fashion to create a versatile pattern for short jackets, long coats, and sleeveless pelisses or short gowns.

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!

When I created the Girls’ 1780s Portrait Dress pattern, I knew I’d want to follow up with a women’s version.

These are the pictures of Ana-Gloria's Easter Dress and my second time with the 1780 Portrait Dress. This time I made the gathered bodice and it went together beautifully and was so much fun to make.

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!)

My daughter Olivia wanted to look like a princess, and I wanted to find something classic-looking for her First Communion. The portrait dress looked like a perfect fit. Not being a particularly advanced seamstress

I made both of these dresses from your Swing Dress pattern. It was a lot of fun and easy to make.The short-sleeved white dress is made out of a reprint flour sack fabric. I had originally wanted to try to

This is a gown I made for a 4-H competition where I received first place! I am also planning on attending a regency ball in the near future. Thank you for this pattern. I absolutely adore it! I have made
