A clean gown has not five minutes' wear in an open carriage

This blog is going to document the journey my cousin and dear friend take as we create ourselves a regency dress. Last night I cut out the paper pattern, and tonight I managed to find the piece of fabric I will use for my test run. I am hoping tomorrow I will manage to get the fabric cut out so I can start sewing it up.

Today we also set a deadline - Jane Austen's birthday in December. I am the one doing most of the sewing, Mel has volunteered ;o) to feed me while I'm sewing the real thing. She also, by default, gets to assist in the fitting of my dress.
