I decided (days before of course) to make E a little Regency dress for Easter this year. I had bought this fabric for her a while back with the intent of making some sort of dress and as Easter rolled around decided it would be perfect. Time being short and wanting use what I already had, I pulled out the Girls' Regency pattern from the Sensibility pattern site . A friend had used this pattern several times with great results and I also found it to be a delightfully simple, but pretty and sweet pattern. To make the dress sleeveless, I borrowed a technique, also from their site that I had used to make a bodiced petticoat. Toward the bottom of the tutorial it tells you how to flip the bodice so that ALL of the seams are on the inside. I love for a garment to be neat inside and out. That said, when I get a decent picture of her in it when it is PRESSED, I will post it. :)
