I finished my costume!! Whahoo! Apart from the little problem that we ran into with the fabric being tucked up, it was a breeze to sew and I am so excited to start on another. :D
Here's a full view of my dress. See my sleeves? ;D At first, I wasn't planning on doing the sheer around the neckline, but I wasn't comfortable about how low the neckline was, so, with fear and trembling I tried adding some sheer. Amazingly, it worked! When I originally cut out the pattern, I raised the back of the neckline 3 inches and the front 2 inches, thinking that it would be high enough..... next time maybe I will try 5 inches in the back and 4 inches in the front.
A closer view of my sleeves.... I made a copy of the sleeve pattern so that I can do it again should I ever want to. I have a friend who wants to try doing these sleeves as well so I am making a copy for her.
And the dress is really comfortable. Perfect for a ball or a simple tea party....
Emily and Megan will be posting pictures of their regency dresses really soon too.
And tonight we are going to watch S&S again. ;D

Aha - and here I've been thinking I'd never get to see it. Just goes to show I'd better check out your blog more often... you'll forgive me, I've been trying to be diligent with all of my daily tasks :) Nice job, I love what you did with the neckline!
