Green and Pink Regency
This is not based off any particular show or character. It is historical-ish.
The Regency fashion style is most famously known as being the Jane Austen style. ~Approx 1800-1820. The high waist empire silhouette was popular in women’s fashion at the time, along with: sheer pale plain-weave cotton gowns, shawls, and low heeled slippers. Women dressed in layers; petticoats, shifts, stays.
I'm sure you've seen it in some movies. Pride and Prejudice, or Emma, or Bridgerton.
After the Renaissance 1300-1600, after Baroque, after Rococo style, after starched powdered wigs, after Marie Antoinette, after the American Revolutionary War , and after The French Revolution, came Napoleon [from 1804 until 1814], and with him, the revolution, and new fashion that was dramatically simpler.
The Romanticism/Regency period [Greek inspired styles].
The Regency Period was the last 25 years of the Georgian Era, when King George the 3rd was deemed unfit, and his son took over as Prince Regent, starting in 1811. The Regency fashion style is most famously known as being: the Jane Austen style. Women’s dresses had high empire waistlines and slim skirt silhouette. In 1820, that Regent Prince was crowned King George the 4th, and the Georgian Era ended in 1837.
I made this particular dress in this green color, because I own a green bonnet, and wanted to make a dress to match it. And also his-and-her matching outfits, as i had already made a green Men's Georgian jacket.
If you like historical, I also recently did : a few other Regency styles: blue, the green and gold.
or my Renaissance lady, Edwardian black, Edwardian walking, Victorian blue, 1800s bathing suit. Poppins style long coat.
This dress has a splotchy print pattern that reminds me of Impressionism paintings. Vibrant green, with bits of fuchsia pink. ¾ length sleeves. High waist. Zipper down the back. And I’m really proud of the gathers on the back skirt. The front skirt has a tapered shape, but the back skirt is a full rectangle, the full width of the fabric, so the gathers lay perfectly straight.
I made it myself, from scratch. I also made a sundress out of the same fabric, see it on my homemade dresses page.
