Sewing a Regency (Day) Dress [Chapter 6: Modelling the Dress]

The photos are not really that good (sorry!), but they're the best I could get (and it took four tries in four days, and it was extremely weird since the camera did things I didn't even know were possible, but that's another story).

It's mainly just to give you an idea of the finished product...

Front view (with a completely unauthentic shawl - in my defence, it was rather nippy that day):


Another view of the front (sans shawl):



And finally, a view of the back:



I hope you'll like my version of a Regency day dress.
It took me much longer than I thought to be able to post all this, but many things conspired against me...
Well, it's there... Enjoy!

PS: I'd like a word with whoever invented the corset! That thing was devised in hell.
