I Made History's Most UNHINGED Dress: An English Regency Court Gown!

Did you know that Regency fashion wasn't always about delicate, columnal dresses? Queen Charlotte had some surprisingly diabolical ideas for court attire, creating a truly unique (and unhinged) look for the Regency Era: The English Regency Court Gown (ERCG!) Join me as we explore the historical fashion of the late 1790s and early 1800s, and recreate one of these "barbie cake dresses," perfect for any period drama enthusiast looking to understand the intricacies of costume and dressing up in this fascinating period! (And for us weirdos who just want to cause as much chaos as possible 😁) Y'all, I've been waiting for years to have an excuse to make one of these wacky gowns, and now I'm SO excited to share with you how I did it! I've dubbed this gown the "Gown of a Thousand Balls," and while we only will build the base of it in this video, I plan to add more trim, more flowers, more feathers, more sparkles every time I wear it! How crazy can we get it? 🤔 Resources: Bodice pattern: https://www.americanduchess.com/collections/books-and-patterns/products/simplicity-pattern-s8941-regency-round-gown-dress-robe Magenta silk is a remnant from https://www.fabricguru.com/ Dyed with acid dyes from https://www.dharmatrading.com/ (Berry crush) Videos I mention: *Making the pannier:* https://youtu.be/TrkL9jXGk2M *My "Normie" 1790's gown:* https://youtu.be/iyfmwuqaQQU Socials: Follow me on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/fantasticalfolliescostuming/ Support this channel by buying me
