Imperfect The Regency and Romantic Dressmaker book

 This is an imperfect version - the cover is slightly scuffed at the edges and on the corner as shown in pictures 

If the book is damaged in the post, take photos of the damage, even if you intend to refuse the parcel - this should speed up the insurance and replacement proccess - though hopefully it won't be needed :-).

Regency and Romantic Dressmaker

The book  will provide a wide array of 1795-1838 clothing, with patterns, step by step instructions of assmebly and notes on wearing, variations etc.

I am hoping it will be of a great use for those who would like to start they journey in the dressmaking of the era of Jane Austen - whether looking to recreate historically correct gowns or a fantasy inspired Brigeton ones. The projects will vary from the simpest ones to to ones suitable for a more experienced dressmaker - in short, there should be something for everybody! 

  You will need to be familiar with basic sewing techniques, but the book will present both the historical and modern techniques  to produce a well fitted and a well made garment.
