This is the third video in a series where I refashion and old, failed Regency-era costume into something new. This time the dress will actually remain as a dress but I'm giving it a glow-up: new sleeves, a fuller skirt, and a much needed fix to an ill-fitting back. I'm also finishing up an old unfinished project to go with it: a pink silk bodiced petticoat. *** REFERENCES *** Regency Refashion #1 (18th Century Accessories): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWWEZ-32Ras Regency Refashion #2 (1920s Day Dress): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpMYlrxNz4I Original blog post about this dress: https://dixiediy.com/2018/11/regency-spencer-laughing-moon-129.html *** PATTERNS *** The original pattern I used for this dress, which I heavily modified: https://www.laughingmoonmercantile.com/product-page/126-download-ladies-round-or-trained-gown-with-high-stomacher-front I don't actually recommend trying to convert that pattern into a back-closing dress. If you really want a back-closing dress, try the pattern I used to make the dress in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G_2mMfrpD8 Bodiced-petticoat pattern: https://www.laughingmoonmercantile.com/product-page/132-download-ladies-regency-bodiced-petticoat-bum-roll-pocket *** IMAGE CREDITS *** Edwardian shirtwaists https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/86051 https://digitaltmuseum.no/011013557241/nf
