Keeping in touch....

Dear friends
In this world of blogs, facebook, and forums I have chosen to put my historical costuming adventures temporarily onto Live Journal - please visit me there at http://aylwen.livejournal.com/

Regency period fine cotton embroidered gown

c. 1810-1820
The fabric has a small floral pattern embroidered inside vertical stripes.  It has a gently rounded neckline and puffed muslin over sleeves, which have been attached to the gown after the long sleeves were completed and armholes bound. The cuffs are decorated with rows of padded cording and have a one button closure.  The skirt has a rolled padded hemline.  The gown is hand stitched, unlined and has a tie back closure.  

New content on its way...

Please be patient as we are working on new content for the blog - we have some wonderful items to share with you - extant regency gowns, spencer, cloak, coat, reticules and more.... and if we manage to find the time - patterns taken from them all for you to work with!
