Follow along as a I make my own Regency Dress from a white bed sheet, inspired from a dress in the 2020 movie 'Emma'. For those who enjoy Jane Austen Novels, and time period fashion this should be a fun, and hopefully, simple project.
The dress is seen several times in the movie, layered over other pieces to create multiple unique looks.
Using the same pattern I made a simple underdress, with an altered neckline and without sleeves, for my white Emma dress.
Full disclaimer, I don't know how historically accurate my dress is...
My pattern is meant to fit a 36 inch bust / 30 inch under bust.
The pattern I drafted myself, and tried to share with you. Hopefully if you follow my measurements and plot the points along the x and y axis, then connect the dots using curved lines, you should be able to create a similar pattern.
Pattern is able to be adjusted for different bust sizes, if you add more space on the center of the bust, and adjust the gathers on the under bust. You are also able to cut the neckline higher or lower. Please adjust your pattern as necessary.
Materials I use:
1 White flat bed sheet 150cm x 250 cm
white thread
150 cm lace for the bodice (will need an additional 250 cm for bottom of skirt)
White ribbon (for drawstring on neck)
small safety pins
70 cm thin elastic (about 30-35cm per arm)
white shirt buttons
large snaps (or closure of your choice)
Large Paper for Pattern
Pencil
Markers
Ruler
Measuring
Tape
Sewing Machine (mine is Singer Heavy Duty 4411)
