Why REGENCY is the best era for Beginner Costumers

I've been wanting to do this video for a while. If I could go back and give my younger-costumer-self advice, it would be to start in the Regency period. If you're new to historical costuming, Regency has a lot of advantages over other time periods. Save yourself some money, time, and headaches and start HERE. I've also linked below lots of resources for patterns, accessories, supplies, and tutorials. IMAGE CREDITS are listed in the pinned comment because I can't fit them all in the description.
