Re: [h-cost] Regency bib dress
Thanks for sharing--this is a lovely bibfront dress in a dark red silk. In my admittedly un-scientific survey, it seems that prosperous matrons here in the US favored dark silk gowns rather than muslin. There is quite a selection of portraits where women are wearing such garments. Also, in a private collection here in the US, there is a gorgeous silk man's waistcoat of a similar color--it is perfectly plain, but the color is stunning.

Re: [h-cost] Regency bib dress
I'm not certain whether this would help, but I made an apron front or bib front Empire gown. You can see how it's put on here: http://marjoriegilbert.net/album_33_033.htm. Information about the pattern, from Janet Arnold's book Patterns of Fashion, is also available.

Re: [h-cost] Bowing to the inevitable
I use it, it allows me to help keep track of friends and 'family'. To help with maintaining it though, I tend to ignore almost all of the application requests and if I am amused by a test, hit skip when it asks to pick friends to share it with. It was great to see a couple of H-Cost faces to go with names last weekend at Costume College. I didn't meet up with others like Margo or Kimiko-but my roommate Elizabeth Reed (oh she of the oh-so-close due date) did while I was in the Gala! (*mock pout*) A first-timer, it was a lot of fun, I enjoyed the classes I took and am inspired to try some of the non-medieval period clothing styles now. The costume I most appreciated though?

Re: [h-cost] Use of Buttons, was Regency Low stomacher
There is a gorgeous green silk striped spencer that is (or was) on display in the Museum of London that is clearly edge to edge fastened, and also has buttons at the wrists. I have photos if needed.

And just one more thing on the topic of spencers and edge to edge fastenings--we had this discussion on the 1812Civilian list a couple of months ago. Barry and Judy McPherson, who have seen many extant garments in English, Scottish, and Canadian collections, agree that the edge to edge seems most common. I agree that we all make compromises--in fact, Sally Queen put together a great diagram for, I think, AASLH, a while back that has a continuum for authenticity, ending in period correct bad breath and rotting teeth (I understand that the Empress Josephine had notoriously bad teeth, so she perfected a closed-lip smile. And I have heard of an 18th c. reenactor who blacks out some teeth.) Good for you for reducing your stash. I am only now emerging from my book project and thinking about sewing again.
