So I know its a bit late but I only found the material and had the idea for the dress a few weeks ago. Its my striped regency dress (which also works as a modern maxi dress.)
I wasn't sure if I should make it short sleeved or sleeveless.
In the end I went for sleeveless, although I still have the sleeves if I change my mind later. This is it in regency mode. With a habit shirt underneath and waist petticoat.
The Challenge: #6 'Stripes'
Fabric: White and blue striped cotton
Pattern: Sense & Sensibility Regency Gown (with a few modifications)
Year: 1790-1820
Notions: vintage buttons, bias binding
How historically accurate is it? Its accurate as far as the pattern is accurate. Right kind of material and 'look'. Hand Sewn.
Hours to complete: Well its taken me just over a week.
First worn: N/A
Total cost: approx £15
