Regency maternity dress

In my latest pregnancy, I made a Regency dress from a historical 1805 pattern as part of my #maternity wardrobe! In this video I will share with you how I made it, from pattern, to pin-tucks, to the final try-on! 🪡🧵 #historicalsewing #regencyfashion #maternityfashion #sewingproject #sewingpattern #sewingblogger #regency #regencybeauty #maternitydress #maternitywear #maternityclothes #maternityclothing

When it comes to retro maternity style, I may not be an expert, but I think sheer experience has to count for something! I've lived through two decades of maternity wear, beginning with my first pregnancy in 1996, when I was just starting out as a seamstress-for-hire and making lots of Regency gowns
