I am called Lyric and I am so pleased to have found this gracious forum.
As to all things Regency I am an excited neophyte. I have come to this site while researching Regency gown construction. You see, several months ago I decided to embark on a total wardrobe make-over to that of ladylike comfort and modesty from a rather secular wardrobe of pants, jeans and the like. I am of the notion that 18/19th century and 1950's women's garments shall suit my needs even with working on our land, feeding the goats, rabbits and gardening. Yes, skirts and dresses will be the order of the day as I go about this transformation.
I am still deciding weather I shall don stays or simply wear modern underpinnings. Either way I welcome the challenge of constructing a set of stays initially just to say that I did. We'll see where it goes from there. I read they are really comfortable and will do an amazing job of holding up my twins, ;D. I can't wait to find out. Needless to say, the journey and photographs will be forthcoming at www.FarmLady.com. Please, feel free to join me in this journey!
Thank you all in advance for your comraderie in this arena.
