In October I attended a private Regency "couples" Weekend in Baltimore. I had long wanted to make the Queen Louise of Prussia spencer, so I did that paired with a bib front day dress out of Swiss dot, and a cranberry velvet bonnet and matching reticule.
(worn again to a Regency tea later in the Fall)
Some have said that Swiss dot fabric wasn't used for dresses in the Regency era, but I don't know... these look Swiss dot-ish to me:
I also made a court dress and train. Dress is a lovely pre-embellished bridal fabric:
Hem of fabric was scalloped, embroidered and beaded. That was lucky!!
My husband had nothing to wear, so I made him a shirt, vest, and wool tailcoat
Pants from Gentleman's Emporium and boots from Shoebuy.com
