Is there a closeup of the front? Thank you all so much for the very kind words, being appreciated by lovely ladies who know sooo much about Regency is really wonderful. I do have a close up of the front (below) but it was taken in the construction stage so there are pins and make do ties etc. I have had 3 regency events within a week. It has been wonderful and a few of us hope that the picnic we are having on Sunday will be an annual event (I will try and get some close up shots then for you all). i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/lahoo88/progress/IMGP0775.jpg

I hope this is the right place to put this, The above museum has patterns taken from some of it's garments and I made up this one (you click on the square with the grid and download the PDF pattern from the link under the picture that comes up - make sense?) : tidenstoej.natmus.dk/periode1/dragt.asp?ID=8The big problems is the pattern is in Danish but I was able to get most of the text translated using a free online translater Drafting up was fine, the garment was for a very petite woman or for a youth so I did have to size up quite substancially (and I am not very large person). But it did go together really well. I changed a couple of things - I made the front bib a crossover and didn't put in the centre front slit and I made the sleeves a bit fuller. I gathered the back skirt instead of pleating and I also added my own embroidery design. Here is a photo in my gown and detail of the back.

Hi I am really hoping someone can help me.
We (Australian Costumers Guild QLD chapter) are having a Regency event in September and I have suggested some musical entertainment.
I play the classical guitar (I am going to play solo pieces) but would anyone know where I can get a hold of some songs from around that time, I would prefer with guitar accompaniment, but I could transpose a piano score if needed.
I will also have someone to play the flute so a guitar/flute duet would be fantastic as well
I know its a long shot but you never know.

Hello and greetings from down under
My name is Donna and what a great forum you have here. I am part of the Australian Costumers Guild and I have loved Regency for such a long time and I am very keen to make my own Regency costume. At the moment I am loving the early Regency fashions (mid to late 1790's - and have some questions) but eventually would love a costume for all the evolving fashions through out the period.
Of course I LOVE Jane Austen and have read all of her books and have seen most of the adaptations.
