The ABC's of Regency Costuming: How to Achieve the Proper Look

Hi! I wrote this article as a guest-blogger for my friend's blog Laughing With Lizzie. Thought I would share it here too! My favorite part of being a Janeite and going to Regency events is of course the costuming. And I must admit I have trouble watching modernized adaptations of Jane's work because to me they are not the same without the amazing fashions of the late 18th/early 19th century. In this blog post, I'm going to explore how to get the perfect Regency look, the different styles, and some tips on where/how to get the pieces made. First of all, as for every other era, the best way to achieve the perfect silhouette it to have the right undergarments. A good shift/chemise, and a pair of stays will work wonders even with the plainest of gowns. My own undergarments are a simple set of short stays (they're the easiest ''corset'' you'll ever make, and the most comfortable) and a simple shift. I made my stays and shift from the

It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary...

Hi There! My Mary Poppins costume is finished at last (okay, except for a few touch ups I still need to do) but here are some photos!! I'll be taking some awesome ones in Disney World, but for now these will do! I made the hat with buckram and wire, covered it with poplin, then chiffon, then tulle and finally feathers and little apples. It's not exactly like the real one, but I made it with what I already had and I only had to buy the tulle. The apples were taken from an old Christmas ornament. I used a victorian corset pattern for the corset (Simplicity I think, or McCalls) and just cut it to the desired shape afterwards. I used some kind of sturdy cotton/denim for the under layer, and vietnamese silk for the red part. The rest of the costume is mostly chiffon. And I haven't taken a picture, but the pettiskirt underneath has one red layer, so if I move you see a fun swirl of red and white! Have a nice day!! UPDATE (2014) : I modified my costume

Outlander costume!

Hi! here is mu finished ''Outlander'' inspired costume. It is not exactly like the costumes on the show, but clearly inspired by it. I changed the color patterns a little, and based the bodice on a pattern in ''Patterns of fashion'' that was of the right style and era. The fabric was a complete surprise, as I stumbled upon a massive sale at Fabricland and found some dark blue tweed and a cream/brown plaid fabric for a very good price. I had already made the cowl and had the mitts for a while. I had some purple linen left and thought it would make a nice stomacher. Anyway, here is the result! I made pocket slits in the skirt and some hanging pockets to wear underneath. Claire wouldn't survive without those pockets! And off with the wool! It actually was a really hot day when we took these pictures. A little while longer and I would have litteraly melted in a puddle! Wearing a tweed dress at 30˚C in july is m
