So I finally (after having the pattern for almost a year and the fabric for a few months) finished my regency dress. I made it with Mrs. Chancey’s pattern from her website, Sensibility.com. The fabric is a white cotton with little raised blue dots – very light and flowy. I used a blue grosgrain ribbon around the waist and for the bows. This pattern is so easy, I really ought to have finished the dress a few weeks earlier, except I cut the pieces wrong and – whoops – ran out of fabric. I don’t actually have any shoes that match yet. Haha. In these pictures I was wearing my old dirty pink flats…which looked pretty bad. I also need to fix the back of the dress. >_< I evidently made it a little tight and one of the buttons popped off. Arg.

This is so very pretty~! I absolutely adore the little blue dots (Does that sound Jane Austen enough?).
Great job.
Love,
