This was my first entirely hand-sewn historical garment. I used the Regency chemise pattern. I also used the e-pattern and printed it out, taped the paper pieces together and used the pattern from there!

Customer Sheri A. created her Regency ensemble from the skin out, beginning with a chemise and short (transitional) stays, then making the lovely gown of dotted Swiss to go over both.

Thank you for the e-mail guidance on fitting my stays. I am delighted with the results. Here are pictures of me in the short stays and chemise. Also pics of Regency Society of Virginia ladies on a recent outing to James Monroe's home near Charlottesville, VA.

Here are the underpinnings you need to give you the proper Regency foundation! This package includes patterns for a chemise, short stays, and two chemisettes.
