Thanks everyone for the comments on the regency gown. I expected the
sheer embroidered fabric to be a pain to sew but it was surprisingly
easy--a new, tiny, sharp needle probably helped. I'll consider adding
the satin to more than just the sleeves.
Next up: this one!

They say c. 1810 but I'm betting it's later given the heaviness of the
bodice decoration. It would probably require some heavy stylised
skirt/hem piped decoration and a corded petticoat as well. What do you
think?
And for fabric I'm thinking silk taffeta...
- Hope
