This year we attended the brilliant Regency Exhibition Ball in Lansing, MI, organized by the incomparable Mr. Charles & Kristin Lawrence and Mr. Jim & Kim Lynch of the Dressmaker’s Shop. That meant I finally had an excuse to build some Regency dresses!
My dress was cumin silk taffeta from Silk Baron, and a cream embroidered net overlay. I based the design in part on Lizzie’s ballgown from the BBC Pride and Prejudice:
I used the Regency Wardrobe from La Mode Bagatelle; pricey, but completely worth it! With multiple bodice, sleeve and skirt choices, as well as spencers, pelisses, and hats, this pattern truly does have it all. It went together like a dream too; I have no complaints;)
