So, do you merely need to close it in the back? Even without a drawstring it’s entirely doable and easy.

Use twill tape or grosgrain ribbon (cotton or linen twill tape recommended) in a 1/4″ width; Fold under one end and securely sew (hand tacking is best) to the inside of the dress at the neckline and waist. A third set can be sewn halfway between neck and waist. Use about 12-14″ lengths for each side and trim if necessary. When dressing, tie the sets at neck and waist; ribbons will be seen but are not inappropriate for the era.
Hope this helps!

Will you do a tutorial on simple ribbon closure for a regency gown? Mine is not gathered at the neck to the high waist; rather, it has a a fitted neckline and is fitted at the waist with a pleated skirt. Thank you.

I deleted those accounts as I didn’t agree with the Terms of Service and their running of those platforms. I will be announcing in the near future where people can find me on other social media sites.

I would look at “full-bust adjustment” (FBAs) online and in books. Sandra Betzina’s Fast Fit book is one of my favorites for enlarging a bodice front for my large bust cup (DDD). Since FBAs only slice from armhole to apex then down to hem, it won’t/shouldn’t affect the side back area at all. If it does, take in any excess into one of the front darts or pinch up the side back seam.
