Future Regency Gown Project by Aylwen

I ordered some lace online because it was cheap and pretty - when it arrived I realised it would be perfect for a version of this dress that I have loved for a long time. I still can't believe my luck! The picture does not do it justice - it is a lovely aqua embroidery with sprigs all over.

There is a gown in Costume in Detail by Nancy Bradfield that I'll use for information.

 

  

Together with instructions for three-piece sleeves as shown on page 35 of Period Costume for Stage and Screen by Jean Hunnisett.
