Hi Deredere,
In Koehler´s book, there is a nice cut of a gentlemans garment for this
event. Its from 1804. This is not one of the coats that is cut straight over
at the front, but has the curves from previous fashion. This is the glory of
high tailoring and very elegant. This pattern you have to scale up, but i
know you are used to this. There is no pattern of the gillet (waistcoat) but
this is the easy part, so you could find it somewhere else.
I wished i had the money to go to this, and the clothes, but my clothes are
much two oldfashioned for this.
I wish yoy good luck!
Bjarne

Hi,
My husband and I will go to our fhirst Regency ball next year.
http://www.nehelenia-designs.com/costumeevents/costumeevents.html
I know what I would like to make for myself.
I would love to make a white dress with embroidery like these

For my husband I have found some really nice Blue wool.
I would like to make a tailcoat out of it.

Would this be right for regency?
I have two Butterick patterns, 3648 and 3723.
Are those of any use?
Or is there a better male pattern?
Ireally don't know anything from this period.
I have the La Mode Bagatelle pattern
and I made a fantasy version with that pattern.

I think I'll need to make the skirt smaller so that I don't have to pleat
it to the bodice.
Greetings,
Deredere
