I used Simplicity 4055, view B, and, I must say, I'm very happy with the results! :)

hello Miss Hannah
That is a pretty dress for sure but I was wondering what a "regency" dress was I never heard that term before looks like a brides maid dress...
I havent heard of much so not suprising i am cluless here too...
You really are a vision of beauty in that dress! It turned out so well, and the fabric looks light and cool for Summer weather. Great job!
Thanks, Vernon and Yayaorchid!
The regency era was late 1700s - early 1800s. This is the time that the Jane Austen books (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, etc.) were set. If you've ever seen any of the movies, that is the style of dress they had - well, not so much in the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice.
Thanks I guess I missed out on that part of history"ladies dress" during that era.. I guess I slept through that section, I was a A student in history...
Any how it is very well done, but what ever you make and try on I think it is the modle that makes the dress pretty not the other way around..
It is ashame that dress making is not a verry good paying job theise days, it would be a nice job to do for you. A handy tallent for a lady any way...
Loverly, Hannah! ☺

Vernon, why do you think dressmaking is not a good profession?
No Abigail, It is a great talent and profession, and needed with the junk o the market today, I have just observed it does not seem to be a real proffitable trade . With the flood of cheap chinese stuff it lowered the profitability of some goods.. but I bet their is still a few nitch markets in big citys that one could earn a little at such as wedding dress altreations and such..
I do think it is a great skill and needed job even it may not pay the best...after considering material and time.. Hope your haveing a great summer..
I love it Hannah! You choose such a pretty fabric.

Hello Hannah!
beautiful dress! a question- did you follow the pattern exactly or did you change it a little? I'm getting ready to make the same dress (same pattern) but it looks so different from the pattern! I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to change it a bit or use it like it is. I'd love to know what you did. awesome job on the dress!
Love,
Elisabeth C. :)
Thanks, Ashley.
Elisabeth, I'm so glad you commented! :) I've missed seeing you. The only change I made was I put hooks and velcro on the back. One thing I liked about the drawstring was that I didn't have to really adjust the neck like in the other view. If you make View A you will probably want to do something about the neck. There is a chemisette pattern (http://www.northbreeze.com/Patterns/DiscontinuedSimplicityPatterns/images/Simplicity4052.jpg) if you don't want to raise the neckline! :)
Elisabeth, I forgot one thing: I used the sleeves from View A, instead of the long sleeves for View B.
oh! that makes sense now! I was still trying to figure out why the pattern still looked so different than what you did!!!! Susanna & I have 6 of them to make. I'll make sure and send you a picture!! :)
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!
