Our Rules (Update)

:iconcaliypsoe:

Hello everyone!
The moderators have been in discussion lately and we’ve come to the conclusion that our rules need to be redefined and improved. The changes are minor, but we feel the need to restate them to avoid confusion.

:bulletred: Deviations must be as historically accurate as possible. We allowed historically inspired before, but we’ve decided that we want to focus on accuracy from now on. We will allow minor divergences from history but please try to keep it as accurate as possible! (Remember, girl in dress does now equal historical accuracy. We must be able to identify a specific time period.)
:bulletred: Historically accurate fanart is allowed.
:bulletred: No fantasy. This includes anthromorphic characters, characters with wings, Lolita, vampires, werewolves etc. We do allow animals in historical fashion but, it must be an animal, not an animal with human features.
:bulletred: We accept all eras from around the world from the beginning of time to the 1940’s.
:bulletred: We accept all mediums, including photographs. However, photographs must not have any copyright attached to it. (It must be in the public domain.) OR You must have permission to use the photo.
:bulletred: No violence or sex. (We allow tasteful nudity only.)
:bulletred: A new rule: finished deviations only. Clean lineart and costume designs are ok, but messy sketches will be voted down.
:bulletred: Deviation limit is two per week.


We thank you for your support and look forward to future submissions!

Don't let yourself be intimidated by big patterns. If you are a first-time seamstress, I could recommend you Saundra Altmans pattern, as published by Past Patterns. It is based on an extant dress, rather late Georgian than Regency, but it is a very good starting point. Even it's having an inner bodice doesn't render it overcomplicated, it's easy to fit, as it closes in the front.
So for any first-timer, this is my recommendation, Ms Altman also included many reference material on the dress within the booklet.

For a good base wardrobe (we talk here of 1 day events), you would need:
1 chemise, preferably linnen, but thin cotton works as well.
1 set of short stays (Regency bra) or if needed a long pair of stays
1 dress
1 fichu (kerchief to be worn between stays and dress to cover your neckline. For morning decency, and afternoon sun-protection)
1 pair of gloves (thrift shops sometimes are a great place to find cheap leather gloves, other places are Etsy and Ebay)
1 pair of cotton stockings (kneelength for beginners, overknees would requite garters too)
1 pair of flat unadorned ballerina shoes.
1 Reticule (small bag, can be made of dress-fabric's scraps)
Ribbon or sash for your hair

To avoid:
- Lace parasols. I know, even the Jane Austen Center sells them, but they aren't accurate in the least.
- hair down or in a ponytail. If you are not familiar with pinning your hair, just give it a go, everyone once started with nothing.

Good luck, and if in trouble, just give a shout, I am alway happy to help :-)

If you're new to sewing clothes, a Regency dress may not be the best thing to jump right into. (Especially if you're uncomfortable with large patterns.)

The best thing to do is to start off by getting a pattern for a simple high waisted sundress just to get the feel of working with a pattern. (Scout out a thrift store for some scrap fabric to save some money on your practice try!) Then you'll get the feel of patterns and will be less confused. =)

And here are some tips on constructing an accurate Regency dress: [link]
