Regency Women's Dress: Techniques and Patterns 1800–1830

The media could not be loaded.  It’s a lovely book. Good quality glossy pages with a decent paperback cover. 26 patterns each with long descriptions, fashion plates, illustrations and 1 close up photo of the actual garment. Patterns are on a grid.I’ve been thinking of buying this book for a while but I have not seen much information on it so have held back. Very happy I have finally purchased it.

This book has a history of regencyfashions, then 26 patterns for recency garments from small American museums. Some undergarments and unusual items such as a Quaker dress are included and it's amazing to see so many items in one book from this period. Each garment has a short description with history if known of the item, a small photo generally of a detail, a small sketch of the garment _ front only, and confusingly a near full page colour fashion plate of a similar garment. The grid style Pattern takes the next two pages even if all pieces could have fitted on to one page.I just wish there we're larger photos of the featured garments. I assume these may not be on display and thus a detail was easier to photograph.

Good patterns but would have liked to have seen more illustrations. The would preferably be photographs, but drawings would have been better than nothing. No making-up instructions were included.

Very complete and useful book with patterns

Informative

Interesting and practical, no problems and speedy delivery

The patterns all come from clothing found in America; unfortunately there are no full length photos of the actual garments themselves just one photo each of a detail and a small drawing. The patterns take up two pages when often, they could have fitted on one - more photos could have been used instead. Scaling is metric if you wish to enlarge on a photo copier (Janet Arnolds Patterns of Fashion are imperial). There are lovely pictures of fashion plates of the time and the inclusion of a Quaker Gown contrasts nicely with the high waist lines.

Just what I needed for some west gallery costume. Drawings clear and the info helpful.Quick delivery and in good condition.

The media could not be loaded.  Il fait un peu de bruit seulement si on laisse tous les voyants allumés. La nuit on éteint tout. Télécommande, smartphone, tactile au choix. Top👍

Great book. I love it. I am satisfied. It’s highly recommendable.

Molto chiaro nell'esposizione e sui cartamodelli.

This is a lovely book for any Regency enthusiast. Lots of usable patterns. I recommend this for advanced sewists, unless you have access to a large scale scanner/printer.
