My new Regency Gown for Fall is done!
I LOVE THIS DRESS!
The best part is that I finally tried out my Kanniks Korner mitt pattern. I hand-stitched the lace gloves and they go great with the dress!
The gloves have a funny story. I just could not fit my thumbs through the original pieces, my thumbs were too long! So, I ripped up the first glove and re-traced a new one, lengthning the thumb pieces. I finished the gloves, they fit great and I was like, "Yeah-I got it! But why was the thumb pieces soooo terribly short?" Then I looked at the pattern and figured that the thumbs were open, and that my top finger-nail was to show through! Ha! Oh well, I like my full thumb-coverage!
I love the back. You can see there are no buttons. The dress slips over my body. I LOVE IT!
I hope you are inspired!
Please contact me if you sewed something Regency. I'd love to see it!
