The crossover bodice is great, and very flexible. All in all, it was a success and she seems very happy with it. She is a pianist and was concerned to have freedom of movement and comfort, and it passed on both cases. She is preparing for a Regency performance of music and readings, so I think will fit in well.

My Seamstress-in-Residence, Geneece Arnold, created this adorable girl's Regency dress with keyhole sleeves. Geneece is doing fabulous work on everything from play dresses for girls to exquisite wedding gowns. I love this sweet creation!

I wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed using your patterns, especially the Regency ones. I just finished a Christmas outfit using the Regency dress pattern (with piping attaching the short sleeve to the undersleeve and a fan front bodice) and the Spencer pattern.

Jennie, I spoke to you about my Edwardian white lingerie dress that I'd made from an embroidered fine batiste shower curtain. I used your 1914 Afternoon Dress pattern. I purchased the shower curtain at Target from their Shabby Chic collection. The ladies in your sales booth at Costume College just loved it.

I made this dress to wear for the 400th anniversary celebration in Jamestown. It had such a feminine, graceful feel as well as adding to the remembrance of a past era! It is very comfortable for walking, yet feels very tailored since the gathers are all in the back.

I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful patterns. My daughter & I have been enjoying them so much! The past few weeks, I have been working on sewing my gown for the Marine Corps Ball.

A few months ago I ordered some of your patterns and made a set for my niece for Christmas! I finally got the pictures! So first of all thank you so much! I am making an Etsy listing and was wondering

I made a gown from your Simplicity pattern for a New Year's party last year. Here are the pictures! The first one is from the Prom-Themed New Year's party I went to, for which I made the dress.

Our son just got married, and the bridesmaids dresses were from your 1914 Afternoon Dress pattern.Thanks!Marci B.

I just finished up my first attempt at the Elegant Lady's Closet drawstring dress. I was SO happy with how easy it was to put together, fit, and with the finished result. I can't wait to make more! Thank you, Mrs. Chancey, for such a wonderful pattern that can be used for maternity and nursing!

Thanks so much for the Regency gown pattern! It was my next dress to make for my cloth dolls. I finally finished!! She's gorgeous and so is the dress. I adorned her a little more than was the style during Regency,

I am a French primary school teacher living in France who loves Jane Austen's period. This summer, I found Jennie's wonderful website surfing on internet. Then, I ordered the Regency Dress pattern and went on with it having in mind to go, once in my life and if my dress is a success, to a Jane Austen Festival in Bath

I made this out of a beautiful fine weave cotton lawn and actually lined the skirt because I am going to be making a pretty gauzy dress over it, encouraged by your suggestion/mention of this common fashion

I thought you might like to see a few pictures of my finished dress. I did all the outside stitching by hand and the rest by machine. Though I'd thought about adding trim, I was running out of time and decided

Here are pictures of my first creation with your patterns. My 7-month-old daughter's Regency Gown turned out soooo cute.

Dear Mrs. Chancey, Here are a few pictures of our dresses I thought you might like to see. Hope you enjoy!!! In Christ, Sarah B. This is a stunning group! These ladies made their dresses for a Regency ball, complete with sashes. The fabrics are wonderful, lightweight linens and cottons. They combined options from my

Here are pictures of another dress I made. I thought you might enjoy seeing them. Other than the cranberry crossover, this is my favorite. It’s basically your original Regency gown, but with the neckline cut a little more squarely. Enjoy! ~ Melissa T. Note the detachable undersleeves that take this dress from day to evening.

I made these ballgowns with my friends this summer using the Simplicity version of your pattern. The girls are part of an historical dance society and are focusing on the Regency period. The bronze dress is made of a tucked home decor fabric with gold sheer and wide ribbon trim accents. The pink dress is

These are photos of my fiance', Aaron, and me, directly after he proposed to me in front of hundreds of people at the opening ceremony of the Fort Massac Annual Encampment in Southern Illinois.  It was a glorious, wonderful surprise.  So romantic!  And, as you can see, I am wearing my drawstring dress made with your pattern. :)
