The regency series- Sewing a chemise & short stays

Описание: Follow how I made these regency undergarments, the short stays and chemise. I usually get my patterns from books so I will share some of my favourite with you. With some tips and advice along the way I hope it inspires you to make your own as regency is one of the easier periods to sew.

The best thing about making regency costume is wearing it out in Bath at the Jane Austen festival with my gorgeous costume friend @costumesbydiane

You can find my regency bonnet making video on my instagram @debbiejonklercostume

The books I referenced in my video are:

Period costume for stage and screen- 1800-1909 by Jean Hunnisett
Corsets and crinolines by Norah waugh
Making working women’s costume by Elisabeth Friendship
Fashion - A history from the 18th to the 20th century - volume 1
