Birthday Ball Regency Inspirations

I'm so excited that you're going to be attending our birthday ball and are dressing up (to any extent)! Below you will find some images of period drawings, recreations and actual clothing to help inspire you. Feel free to go all in and sew/borrow something or wear something that you have that gets you partially the way there! Ladies may want to wear a dress that has an empire waist and gentlemen wear a nice white shirt, with a vest and coat. We want you to feel comfortable and have a good time!
