My daughter got on a designing tangent, and drew designs for costumes and room settings for a number of fantasy parties (fantasy, as in, one can only fantasize about being able to afford one!). When she showed me the drawings, I pointed at 'Autumn' (shown above). And said 'You know, we could make that with the Sensibility Regency pattern, and just leave off the sleeves.' And so we did...

I have a show-and-tell photo for you. I made the Regency dress, and it is my first successful sewing project, thanks to your very simple instructions. Thanks for making such a great pattern. ~ Nicole F. Good job, Nicole!

Here are photos of my twelve-year-old sister wearing the Simplicity Regency gown she created! ~ Janna I love this classic drawstring dress! Great work!

Here’s my mom, modeling a “Valentine” Edwardian Apron she made for my sister-in-law!

Hello Jennie – I have just finished a dress for my daughter from your Girls’ Regency Dress pattern. It turned out so beautifully. My daughter is five and I let her pick out the fabric. At first I thought the heirloom cotton was too plain, but as I put the puffed sleeves in and saw

I thought you might be interested to see Lily’s cross-over dress she made this fall. ~ Karen This young lady looks every inch the Regency girl–to the print of the fabric and the bonnet! Wonderful outfit!

I finished the last couple of details on the Kimono dress today and had my daughter try it on. When she did, we were delighted to see that the final touches were indeed complete. She put a necklace on, and we went outside to snap a few pictures. She’s really pleased with it, and so

As a beginning sewer I was a little intimidated about making a dress all by myself, but was thrilled with the idea of creating something that I could wear. My friend and I had been toying with the idea of making dresses for ourselves, and our Confirmation day seemed the perfect time to display our

Thank you so much for your wonderful pattern and the great instructions. I used the bodiced petticoat instructions, and it turned out wonderfully, as did the dress. I can’t wait to make more! Thank you again, so much. It was wonderful to use your pattern and I’m so proud of the result. I am so

I’m from Sydney, Australia. I did textiles in year 12 (2005). For my year 12 major work I did a Regency gown and I bought your pattern. ~ Elizabeth H-C. Look at all the exquisite embroidery on this gown! Elizabeth did a beautiful job. Bravo!

Everything worked out beautifully. We had a ‘Jane Austen Fancy Dress Tea Party’ this afternoon. I’ve attached some pictures of the ladies who were able to come. Both my sisters and another friend were busy (or not in town) this weekend, so we are going to have another tea in August and get all dressed

I was digging through my scrap bins awhile back trying to use some things up so I could regain a couple of drawers! I came across some burgandy wool (leftover from a cape) and matching silk (leftover from a summer dress) so I decided to make a new Spencer jacket. I found these buttons in

  Here are some photos of the girls, my niece and two daughters, I made these dresses for Christmas, you will notice that I added two lines of ruffle to the bottom of them. Thanks for the elegant patterns, my girls look like real girls now! ~ Caroline J., Australia Ahhh! All those beautiful details!

I am so proud. This is my first sewing project and it’s so easy!! By my third dress I mastered understitching, I feel like a pro. ~ Suvine G.

Here are pictures of two girls’ dresses I made from your pattern. I am making a new dress and spencer for her and my boyfriends two nieces. I would love if you want to put them on your website, and I think the girls would be happy to see that also. After I finish their

I’ve recently completed my second Regency dress from your pattern and I thought that you might like to add them to your ‘show and tell’ page! I absolutely loved this pattern. It went together very easily for me, and altering it was very easy…not the least bit complicated! My alterations were lengthening the bodice and

Hi! I wanted to write to you and send you some photos of a Regency dress I just made. I didn’t know how to sew at all (I sewed a pillow once in 8th grade home economics class, but that was over ten years ago), but I decided to go ahead and order your pattern

  Your patterns are wonderful, and I am at the present making the most of your Spencer and Pelisse pattern… I have attached some photos of my day out at Lyme Park. I have only recently discovered the delights of Jane Austen and then to discover that the house that they filmed [A&E’s] “Pride and

Your patterns are great! Imagine the suprised look on my face when I opened up the pattern and saw real paper! I’m a new sewer about 1 year and I can’t stop. I found the Renaissance first, and then fell in love with Regency–after all, you can’t wear a Tudor gown to church, although

The main dress is a crepe fabric with organza overdress. The girls all loved them and thanked me for making them feel like princesses for the day. Your patterns were a delight to use with very clear instructions. I have been sewing for 50 years, since I was 7, and some instructions are incomprehensible, so
