Regency dress progress

[madamemodiste]

Well, after over a year, I have picked up the Regency dress project again. Here is where it is now. It just needs a skirt and sleeve hem and it's done.
If memory serves, I think I used a combination of patterns from Sense and Sensibility as I wanted a flatter front on the skirt and the drawstring top, but I forget the details.

I hate how square the shoulders look on the dress form. Man, I hope it doesn't look like that on me!

Very pretty! Are you going to make a spencer too? I can totally see you wearing a spencer similar to this one Lucy wears in Sense and sensibility:

That spencer and the military looking one from the Kyoto Costume Institute are my favorite ones! Not sure if I have the time to pull it out for the event, but I agree it needs it!
