 La Mode Bagatelle's Regency
Wardrobe Pattern will help you to be properly dressed for your next
Regency event. With the use of different fabrics and trims, you will be
dressed to breakfast with Eliza Bennet, have tea with Emma Woodhouse and
meet Captain Wentworth in the candlelit assembly rooms. These Patterns
require only basic sewing ability, but may be embellished to your heart's
desire. As Jane Austen said, you may "ruin yourself in black satin ribbon
with a proper perle edge." Iron on embroidery transfers are included, as
well as suggestions for using the pattern pieces in alternate ways to
create almost any Regency garment. |

The following is a small sampling of some of
the garments that one can create with our patterns. However the full range of
the wardrobe that can be constructed is limited only by your
imagination.
 |
Riding Habit: Uses the shaped skirt
with train and crossover bodice, omitting sleeves and binding off
armscyes. Make the Spencer with oversleeves and peplum. Trim with
braidwork and buttons Wool is appropriate. Attach a loop inside left hem
side seam to assist in carrying the skirt. Make your chemisette of white
cotton or linen with a self-fabric ruffle at the neck. Tally
Ho! |
 |
Evening Dress: Underskirt cut from a
shaped skirt pattern. overskirt cut from the round gown skirt (use a very
light weight fabric), cutting curve in front lower edges. Add lace or self
fabric flounce around skirt edges. Crossover bodice and gathered short
sleeve, bound off at edges. Insert of sheer fabric on bodice. The
overskirt and bodice are trimmed with embroidery. |
 |
Afternoon Dress: Shaped
skirt, crossover bodice with insert at center front; long sleeves. This
dress is a perfect choice for embroidery. Motifs are worked about 3" up
from hem, and up the front. Cut a square of fabric, to be used folded into
a triangle as a fichu' over the shoulders. This can be embroidered as
well. A ribbon is tied around the waist. This is a good basic style for
primed cottons, lightweight challis and silk. Works well with the
chemisette. |
 |
Dress & Pelisse:
Dress: Either
skirt may be used and trimmed with wide lace or self-fabric flounces.
Drop-front bodice worn with chemisette with neck ruffle. Very light to
medium-weight fabrics. Pelisse: An outdoor garment,
sleeved or with moles only, of any material, to be worn over the dress. It
differed from a coat in that it had no lapels. It was sometimes without
fastenings; sometimes made to button across the bosom; sometimes to button
all down the front. The pelisse is made by using the round gown skirt
split open on center front line, lined with a compatible fabric. This
lining is embroidered just inside m show charmingly as you walk and sit.
The skirt is gathered on to the Spencer. The drop collar is cut from
lining fabric. Cut sleeves extra long to allow for fold-back cuff, attach
sleeve raffle to match ruffle on chemisette. Trim is applied around waist
and cuffs. Medium-weight fabrics for pelisse, lighter-weight for
lining. |
 |
Spencer: Upstanding collar, peplum,
and over sleeve. Ruffle at neck and sleeve edge. Buckle added to
waistband. Velveteen, wool and medium-weight upholstery
fabrics. |
 |
Ball Gown: Round gown underskirt with
densely ruched lace at hem line. Overskirt is round gown skirt cut 6"-I0'
above underskirt, determined by width of lace used around hem of the
overskirt. The overskirt is bound rather than hemmed before applying lace.
Artificial flowers form garlands above hem. Drop-front bodice trimmed with
flower buds and lace tucker at neckline; use short, gathered sleeves.
These are bound off in the same manner as the overskirt. Tres
elegant! |
 |
Pelerine: Cut from shaped skirt,
split up center front (add I 1/2" to each front edge to form overlap to
close pelerine. This is gathered onto the Spencer. Long sleeves with over
sleeve and drop collar. A buckle finishes the waistband. The pelerine is
trimmed with braid work and closed with buttons marching down the front.
Small tassels finish the ends of each braid work motif. Purchased frogging
could be used. Add braid work to sleeve and over sleeve before sewing up
seams. Opulently full neck flounce finished with a soft bow adds a
feminine touch to the military look so popular at the time. Add a narrow
ruffle to sleeve edges.
Medium-weight wools, silks and upholstery
fabrics. Light-weight silk or cotton for lining. This can be worn as a
dress, as well as a wrap. Very smart! |
 |
Bodice-Petticoat: Make up of
medium-weight cotton with a heavier front bodice lining. Flounces of
self-fabric or pre-gathered eyelet. |
