Ok, well I dont know how useful this will be, but here's what I dug up.


This site has pictures and illustrations on Regency period dresses:

http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/ppbrokil.html

This is from the Costumer's Manifesto:

http://www.costumes.org/history/100p...inks.htm#Women

They include specific patterns for making a Regency gown on their site:

http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/petticoat.htm

That is just one of the patterns they have.

Here's another Regency pattern from their site:

http://www.vintageconnection.net/Reg...ndPatterns.htm

There is more at the bottom of that page that takes you to other more detailed patterns.

You can order specific bodice types and patterns from this site:

http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/regency.htm

I really like it the best. Here's a snippet from her site:

# Sizes 6-18 all included in one envelope.
# Illustrated instructions make construction easy!
# Options for long sleeves, short sleeves, undersleeves and wide or narrow skirt.
# Pattern supplement available for ladies sized 18-26 D and DD. (Order using special button.)
# Online Photo Instructions available!
# Yardage Chart also available online, along with supplement yardage chart.
# Photo instructions to make a bodiced petticoat from the Regency Gown pattern!
# Instructions for making a Drop-Front Regency Gown from my pattern!
# Still a bit intimidated? Why not enroll in my online class?


Some pretty informative stuff on there, and it seems very user friendly.

I hope those links provide some useful bits for you Pretty Lady..

Keep us posted on your progress and let me know if you need some more Detective work.
