Comments on: Something Fun for a Regency Ball https://historicalsewing.com/something-fun-for-regency-ball 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Sat, 28 Aug 2021 23:31:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: Maryssa https://historicalsewing.com/something-fun-for-regency-ball/comment-page-1#comment-95857 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 05:16:28 +0000 http://www.historicalsewing.com/?p=868#comment-95857 It’s certainly not what most people think of when they think ‘a gown for a ball’, but it looks a lot easier to dance in!

And this is different as it’s got THREE distinct fabrics.

My analysis for easier sewing: the green bodice is sewn over the white spotted underbodice and basted together before the skirt is attached. The same for the green oversleeve bit – set into the sleeve over the white spotted puff.

The green panels which create an overdress effect are indeed tacked to the horizontal ribbon trim near the hem to keep them in place. When not twisting in a dance pose they would be viewed as hanging straight down.

Did you notice that the waistline is quite low for Regency? Almost to the natural waist. This position is close to dresses of the late 1820s/early 30s.

This dress looks a bit messy to me and I need to see a realized version. 🙂
