Velvet Spencer Jacket

This regency era spencer jacket was made to be worn with a light blue silk gown. Both the gown and this jacket were custom designed for�The�Quotidian Theatre Company in Maryland.

The gown is dark colonial blue cotton velveteen and fully lined in cotton. The sleeves are 2-3″ longer than cuff length to drape over the base of the hand (as most period Spencer jackets did.)

The jacket closes at center front just below the bust line and is open to the neck. The back of the jacket features a decorative peplum to accentuate the regency era silhouette.

Here is an image of the original jacket ours was based upon. (Image provided by client. Source not documented.)

Customer Comment:�“I wanted to let you know how beautiful both the dress and Spencer jacket are! They are expertly crafted and the design is lovely and elegant as are all the materials. I tried the costumes on the actress who will be wearing them in the play and they fit perfectly. Thank you so much for your brilliant work! I have passed your card along to other enthusiasts with a high recommendation. “

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. View all posts by Susan
