I seem to be in a regency sort of mind
(and it has nothing to do with having watched P&P today....all 6 hours...)
And it's come to my attention that regency is one of those eras where I know the basics, I know what fabric types were all the rage, and I know the general silhouette, but I know very little about proper construction techniques. So I ask great LJ mind-hive, what is the Costume Close-up of the Regency era? Whats your go to construction source? I have of course looked through PoF. I'm thinking of tackling a spencer and that striped linen and I want to make a more period correct dress than the S&S Simplicity pattern. I'm sure the shapes are right on that one, but I seriously doubt the construction, and the way the lining goes in is just weird.
