Historical Costumes of England from the Eleventh to the Seventeenth Century

- Nancy Bradfield, 1963

I mentioned a while ago that I'd been doing some online shopping - and the last book in my latest order finally came! Nancy Bradfield brought me a lot of joy as a teenager trying to learn how to write and world-build. This book is practically the origin of the 'shopping for a fanfic' tag on my Tumblr.

Hi, nothing new to post this week as i’m still very busy working as a Wardrobe Assistant on a Christmas show. I’m hoping to start up a few new projects after Christmas but for the time being here’s some more of my Regency Costume from my First Year of uni. Close up details of the dress as well as pictures of the corset (worn under the petticoat in these photos for modesty, as due to time constraints we didn’t make shifts). The corset is made from coutil with a layer of cotton for lining. It is decorated with quilting and cording which also provide support and the lace down the centre front is Torchon, designed and made by me. (The straps on the corset and petticoat could have done with being a little shorter). Thank You for 5,000 followers! (beep boop beep to the bots!)

Regency day dress first year project

This dress is made of white muslin and embroidered in the sleeves, neckline and waistline. It is worn over a long regency corset that has been quilted and corded and a cotton petticoat. This dress was based on one from the Snowshill Collection and can also be found in Nancy Bradfield’s “Costume in Detail”.

I got a new sewing book! This is Costume in Detail - 1730 - 1930 by Nancy Bradfield. I love it. A lot. Whether you sew or not, the drawings are beautiful and all of real extant gowns. I definitely recommend it to everyone interested in historical costuming!
