My Regency Dress




These are some photos of my regency era dress.
I made the dress and Livi made the over coat.
The dress was taking from Caroline Bingleys (2005)
She wears it when Jane and Elizabeth are leaving Netherfield Hall after their stay. the link below is to Livi's blog so you can see all her awesome dresses!



In case you are wondering what the small print is at the top of the pictures, I'll tell you.
Top picture: This is the front of my regency dress.
The other one says: This is the back of my regency dress.
That's all they say. I know it's rather boring, but O well it is better than not knowing at all.

Hey, that looks great Isabella. I like your kitten post too.

Thank you!

Say, can we call you something like: Izzy, Iz, Isa, Bell, Bella, Zabi, Ella, or Zabella? Because like Nebuchadnezzar, Aristophanes and Cookie Monster, "Isabella" has quite a number of syllables in it, and one automatically wants to shorten it, but doesn't like to do so without permission.

Sorry, I didn't say a word about the post, but then, that's me all over.
Now, I could give a non-committal "Topping, and all that," or I could say: "Not counting Livi's Dress (The Dress. The Dress To End All Dresses.)this is probably one of my favorites you girls have yet made." Which would you prefer? At your request I will say either.

Anna-Ruth said...

I chose the name 'Isabella' simply because it could be shortened.
You can call what ever you like, although I'm not quite sure about Zabi, how did you even get that? And yea commentting about something that has nothing to do with what you are doing, is well you. Is Livi's dress the vicky one? If so, it does top every other one. Although I am not sure which one I like the best. And what do you mean by 'which would you prefer? At your request I will say either.'? I know it probally obvious but I'm tired and have just finnished working. 47 minutes ago.

In regards to making a comment about my dearest of friends post, I couldn't decide between the comments you shewed for selection, for I found I was completely and utterly incapable of comprehending what you were implying in your second choice. Was it the post which was the best yet or the dress which was cunningly made with the help of your dearest sister? I found myself confusing myself! Oh, and just for peoples knowledge I finished Persuasion. Rather nice. Also, about nicknames...we could have different nicknames but still confuse with full?...

Anna-Ruth said...

Can I answer you tomorrow? Please! It would be to confusing to write! ;)

Jono said...

Verily, thou hast confounded my meaning! And dashed well confused me into the bargain.
What I meant to say is this: This dress in this post is my favourite of the regency gowns yet made by the group of girls, whom I know, who make these dresses. And Livi's civil war dress is by far the best out of all the dresses that I have ever seen. Which is only natural. Because it's incredible. And she's my sister. But that wouldn't create any bias on my part. Would it? No. And I've contradicted myself.

Kind sir, you utterly confuse me. Although on my part I find english grammmer extremely hard to comprehend...I like the way it flows sounds and looks...This is not very well written by me for it has many fullstops. Therefore I shall stop putting so many. Pray have you taken the time to take a kind look at the Isabella Clinton's new blog deicated to God?
