Regency Underthings Dress Pattern | E-Pattern PDF Download

Create the perfect historical foundation for your Regency wardrobe with this professionally researched downloadable PDF sewing pattern. This pattern is ideal for Jane Austen Festival attendees, Regency balls, living history events and historical costuming.

Based on original museum garments and historical sources, this pattern collection includes everything you need to recreate the essential undergarments worn beneath Regency gowns. Whether you're sewing for historical reenactment, living history, theatre, or simply a love of Regency fashion, these garments provide the correct silhouette from the skin out. 

Included in this Pattern

• Chemise

• Front-lacing Short Stays

• Two Chemisette variations

The chemise features an adjustable drawstring neckline and underarm gussets for exceptional comfort and freedom of movement. It can also be worn as a lightweight Regency-style nightgown.

The historically accurate front-lacing short stays are easier to put on than traditional back-lacing stays while creating the distinctive Regency silhouette. Guidance is included for boned, quilted or corded construction, allowing you to customise your stays to suit your preferred level of support and authenticity.

Also included are two styles of chemisette, perfect for transforming the appearance of your gowns and adding extra warmth during cooler weather.
