Regency Dress Menu

A 'contents' page for all my regency dress related stuff, so you can see my 'progression' through stages of frustration before finally....acceptance. I wanted to show that these dresses aren't 'easy peasy' especially if you aren't the average size and shape. And that it takes a lot of trial and error before a garment is completed.

My initial attempt started with the fabric in 2011....
