On Monday Mel and I got the Sense & Sensibility Regency Gown and Spencer patterns (and the Beatrix walking skirt too!). Yay! :o) Mel has traced off her pattern, so now I need to trace mine and make mockups. I have traced/enlarged the Beatrix pattern for me, and hope to make it soon.
Yesterday Cate and I went op shopping. My best buy was a "Clothkits" skirt kit, dated Summer 1978 for $10! It goes up to a size 20, which I think will be too small, but it looks like it might be a bit long so I can cut it down from the top. I don't know if I really want to cut into it though, it's quite a curiosity :o) And it is as old as I am!
This Regency dress thing has opened quite a can of worms. Now I want to dress all in period clothing, and not just regency. I really want a work wardrobe from the 1930s-50s! It's going to take a while to build up, but it will be so much more fun than wearing jeans and a tshirt to work!
