The regency spence does look like a jacket, with a leg a mutton sleeve, so
thats just to add to the confusion.
Sue T, again
I am currently looking at my lace for dolls book and they talk about a
spencer as a jacket made using the same material or similar shade to the
dress and ends saying for the spencer jacket.
I wonder if you mean chemise, which it says is worn under the corset, back
and front are the same. The doll is shown wearing the pantaloons and
corset. the book mentions that they are standard articles of clothing and
are useful for most period clothing outfits.. Looks a bit like the T
shape garment worn since the egyptian times, under all manner of top
clothings in different countries.

Dear Arachnids
I am making lace for doll's underwear and am currently working on a
bodice to
go with her drawers. I have been told that this article of clothing is
a
spencer. Is this correct? I tried Wilipedia but there is no reference.
Happy lacemaking.
