This is the third video in a series where I refashion and old, failed Regency-era costume into something new. This time the dress will actually remain as a dress but I'm giving it a glow-up: new sleeves, a fuller skirt, and a much needed fix to an ill-fitting back. I'm also finishing up an old unfinished project to go with it: a pink silk bodiced petticoat. ** REFERENCES ** Regency Refashion #1 (18th Century Accessories):    • Refashioning old costumes + advice for beg...   Regency Refashion #2 (1920s Day Dress):    • Making a one-hour dress but it took me a w...   Original blog post about this dress: https://dixiediy.com/2018/11/regency-... ** PATTERNS ** The original pattern I used for this dress, which I heavily modified: https://www.laughingmoonmercantile.co...
