Sewing a Regency (Day) Dress [Chapter 4: Pattern]

So... It took me a long time, but I hope you'll like the result.

To make this dress, I used a remnant that was 3mx1.5m (9'9"x5'1").
Here's an image of the pieces you'll need (more details in the next post):


You'll also need about 2m (6'5") of ribbon matching your material, some nylon cord thread, and (eventually) six metal self-cover buttons.

And now, the big part of this post: a PDF file of my pattern. If there's any problem with it, leave me a message, and I'll find a way to send you the file.
Once you've got that file, you only need to print the top part (front, side, back, belt, sleeve); there's no point in printing the skirt.

Next post... Let's start the actual fun!
