Is the Regency Gown Pattern the same as the Elegant Ladys Closet pattern?
Thanks for the question! These are completely different patterns in every way. The Regency Gown pattern is based upon designs from the 18-teens and has a more modern look to it (I deliberately chose extant gowns that looked more modern when I designed this pattern). This dress can also be worn over a modern push-up bra–correct underthings are not required for a nice fit. The Elegant Lady’s Closet pattern contains pieces for two different dress styles (drawstring and crossover), along with patterns for reticules and embroidery designs from the time period. This pattern drew its inspiration from the late 1790s to 1800 and must be worn over period underthings (see my Regency Underthings pattern) for a proper fit. The bodice pieces are much shorter (correct for early Regency), so a proper foundational silhouette is a must. You can make a wide variety of Regency Gown styles with each of these patterns, but they don’t overlap each other. Thanks for asking!
