Homespun Regency

As part of a large order made for a museum group in Norway, we created this stunningRegency era gown of homespun blue and tan cotton. I created bias trim on both the skirt and the bodice to create visual interest in both the top and bottom sections of the gown.

The gown is made from our Camille dress and would be ideal for a rural regency era impression.

About Susan

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a historian, seamstress, teacher, mother, and wife. My passion for history has manifested itself in the art of recreating clothing from different periods of time. Growing up in the American South, I am heavily schooled in the art of recreating clothing from the 19th century. After nearly a decade of immersing myself primarily in the Victorian period, I found the need to branch out and explore other periods of time. However, it is my connection with the American South and the clothing of rural America that continues to be the driving force behind my designs.
