I actually got some photos of the original garment before it was put on display from the Museum of London; I emailed them asking about the construction of the coat and they sent me those photos!

I was doing research in the MoL's collection for my MA while they were preparing the Pleasure Garden display. I snuck a few pictures of it for myself before it was mounted, lol. You did an amazing job on your's and that colour is delicious.

I was in the fashion show, it was so much fun!

The coat itself didn't really take up that much fabric, just the normal amount that e.g. a long sleeved Regency dress would need. The hem was a 1820s pattern, so it had a centre back piece, and slightly gored side and front pieces. Obviously the rouleaux piping was the reason I needed so much fabric; because it had to be cut on the bias I needed a bit extra.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770653136515096726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-67506079868343018792013-10-14T01:20:46.768-07:002013-10-14T01:20:46.768-07:00I've also just realised we were at the events ...I've also just realised we were at the events much of the time in Bath. :) You the wonderful harp player at Beckford's tower!

I need to think about making one from about ten or fifteen years earlier, but I was wondering if you'd mind me asking how much fabric you needed to make yours, just as a guideline? It really is the best one I've seen! Absolutely delicious detail.

The color is so perfect and the fabric looks even better in real life. I love the photos even though they never quite do justice to how it looks when you actually move. And that ice skating sounds so perfect. Inspired by it and by you Nora, I even started planning my regency undies today... :D Gotta create that regency wardrobe so I can go to Bath with you some day! ;)Sanna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795829464979056917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-34684833042548659252013-06-10T04:11:40.563-07:002013-06-10T04:11:40.563-07:00Kirjoittaja on poistanut tämän kommentin.Sanna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795829464979056917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-80323618390018274992013-06-10T02:19:51.929-07:002013-06-10T02:19:51.929-07:00Dear Nora,

This past winter I took up skating again and it was so much fun (the last time I did it was at school :)! That would be a perfect opportunity for people to start making Regency clothes (*nudge nudge, wink wink*). I've also sometimes thought how much fun it'd be to have some kind of Regency event here in Finland too.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770653136515096726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-2456828230008915972013-06-10T01:00:31.473-07:002013-06-10T01:00:31.473-07:00Thank you very much for your kind words!

I've been dreaming about a regency ice skating party and some tea or hot chocolate afterwards for next winter, perhaps on January or February. Something small and informal. I don't know if this would be possible with so few in Finland with regency clothing (I haven't even started mine) and all of us scattered so far from each other, but I thought I'd mention this to you too if you'd be interested.Augustintytärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505151461602176214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-77911246472580897312013-06-09T23:10:49.480-07:002013-06-09T23:10:49.480-07:00This is stunning!
