The opening is in the center back and, for this period, hook & eye closure. Drawstrings at the neck and waist might have still been in use as they were in the prior couple of decades. Click on the first photo of the gown and it will take you to the museum website. It doesn’t look like they have any more photos online. Contact them to possibly see more.

Did the website you found this dress on have any detailed images of the back. I’m interested to know how women got in and out of these dresses. Obviously they had lady’s maids to help them, but where are the fastenings?

Bartos Collection

This is my favourite dress ever, but I don’t even know where to begin….

Thank you, and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

Not specifically as of July 2014. BUT… we are in the planning stages of a complete Regency menswear ensemble set of classes. Classes will be intermediate and will cover a shirt, waistcoat, breeches and cutaway or tailcoat (depending on what our final pattern selection will be for that class).

I’ve been eying the Regency period as a new course of study if I ever wade all the way through all the late Victorian projects ahead.

Do you have a guide for costuming a MAN in Regency wear if you only have intermediate sewing/tailoring skills?

Thank you! I asked because I have fabric purchased for a gown and haven’t quite figured out what to do with it yet. This one spoke to me, and your post pointed out things I would never have noticed! You made my day. 🙂
