Regency Shortgown and Petticoat Pictures

I took pictures of my Regency shortgown and petticoat yesterday afternoon. They're both completely hand-sewn and completely from supplies I already had. The main fabrics for each are not only from the stash, they're leftovers from previous projects, which is a kind of double bonus.

Without further ado, here are the pictures.

While I was getting dressed up, I tried on my 1790's stays with a couple of different things to see what I need to do to make a dress with the right neckline for them. It looks like the pattern that fits with my 1780's stays has the right neckline for the 1790's stays so that will give me a starting place when I decide to make a 1790's dress. I really don't know when I'm going to do that, but at least I have the information I need to make a first swipe at that project when I am ready for it.
