I do have a very fair amount of regency clothing and wish that I had the nerve to wear it whenever I wanted.

Oh and you need Colonel Fitzwilliam to walk with.

I have absolutely none of this except a stack of handkerchiefs. I do have a couple of patterns, fabric for at least one dress, materials for a bonnet, and a busk. Stays are well beyond my meager sewing skills; I need to find someone who can make some for me so I can make the dress. (I ordered a set online; never again! Money and hope wasted, unless I can sell them.) I even have someplace local to wear Regency clothing, if only I could get a set of stays that actually fit. So frustrating!

So Far I have
2 petticoats 1 waist/strapped and one full (that really needs redoing coz I made it from a bedsheet in a hurry)
1 Shift (I need to make at least 2 more)
1 Chemise (well it a shirt I modified and it has sleeves handy for a cold day)
1 floral print day dress (which is sooo not accurate so needs replacing) – 1 striped sleeveless ‘jumper’ dress – 1 plain white dress with removable long sleeves.
1 Open Robe 1 Fichu
2 Caps – 1 bonnet – 3
1 Spencer – 3 shawls – 1 cloak

I also have one half of a dress I need to make the half robe to go with….need one more day dress and a ball gown really.
