| can anyone tell what is a good pattern for a regency style dress? is doesnt need to be completley authentic just somewhat. also what kind of undergarments would i wear under it? since im not aiming to be perfectly accurate i dont think i need a corset or anything but i dont thing i can get away with a modern bra. i would really appreciate the help. thanks. |

I've bought the pattern from Sense and Sensibility, and I would HIGHLY recommend it. If you have problems with making it she will help you through it through email. She also on the website has several suggestions for how you can modify the dress. Ticia |
