I recreated an 1815 Wedding Gown from an ORIGNAL pattern | Regency sewing

When I found this early Regency-era silk gown from a Norwegian museum that included a scale-drawing of the actual pattern for the dress I knew I had to make it. Luckily I found the perfect silk taffeta to go with it. This is how I made the pattern fit me and how I constructed the recreation. *** ORIGINAL GOWN *** National Museum of Norway, Bridal attire, inventory no.
