#fallforcostume day 15 is #blue and as a follow on from one of yesterday’s posts (*cough i mean three days ago cough*) i thought i’d explain my next project. it all started when @americanduchess released their emma boots and i fell in love, and so a regency outfit got bumped up the priority list to next after kat. i ordered the boots (via @larosecoutureshari). and then i got carried away and have now decided to make three gowns, but luckily they can use the same underpinnings and accessories, which will save time (right?). gown no. 1 will be the classic white muslin, preferably with a small woven pattern like a spot or a check. it will be based on this pattern from patterns of fashion, but without the train and under sleeves. gown no. 2 will be a linen sleeveless number with a long sleeve shirt/chemisette underneath (similar to the ones pictured here). it will not have a button front like the last, but will fasten at the centre back. gown no. 3 will be a high necked pleated affair in a printed cotton. i’ve seen a few of these around but the most recent i spotted was in P&P ‘95 on mary bennet. and then to top them all off i will make a blue velvet spenser, a bonnet trimmed with blue flowers, a matching blue velvet reticule, and maybe even a parasol. but none of this will happen until 2020, because i cannot sew all day everyday, because you know, real life and everything 😢 #regency #regencydress #regencyfashion #periodfashion #historicalfashion #periodsewing #historicalsewing #janeausten #prideandprejudice #jamaicainn #sanditon #boots #shoes #americanduchess #empireline #muslin #sewingproject #sewingplans https://www.instagram.com/p/B3peRGRAQaG/?igshid=1xzcjdo4ykhxe
