A Relaxing Look into Historic Dressmaking Techniques in My Authentic Regency-Era Hand Sewn Dress ✨

This is the oldest dress in my collection, a simple green silk c. 1827 dress for a young woman. The construction details seen on this dress are fantastic examples of the transition that was happening in women's dress construction during the early 19th-century or Regency Era. Piping, darts, side seams left open on the inside are all some dressmaking techniques that were new for this era, and different than gowns from the 18th century. It is also 100% hand sewn! So if you've ever wondered how dresses were sewn 200 years ago, this dress will be able to help answer some of your questions! Whether you're looking to make your first Jane Austen era dress or diving into the 1830s - this simple Regency dress makes an excellent reference for the first few decades of the 1800s. If you're don't sew, but just like to look at antique clothing, I think you're going to enjoy looking at this pretty green dress with me! 🥳Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbyelyn Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abbycox 🖼Images Used: Mrs. John Frederick Lewis, Jacob Eichholtz, 1827, PAFA, https://www.pafa.org/museum/collection/item/mrs-john-frederick-lewis-0 Dress, c.1825 Met Museum https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/107957 Dress, c. 1825, LACMA https://collections.lacma.org/node/2269463 Woman's Dress United States, Massachusetts, Boston, circa 1828 Costumes; principal attire (entire body) LACMA https://collections.lacma.org/node/173311 *that* arsenic green dress https://www.
