Early Regency 1796-1798 Floral Embroidered Cotton Gown
Publié par ADORED VINTAGE le
My dream history closet includes this early Regency era cotton gown featuring the sweetest all over floral embroidery that gives it a bit of a pastoral folky look. Aren't the pansies so sweet?
Where I'd Wear It Back Then
Probably listening to Marianne practicing on the pianoforte while I worked on my needlepoint
Where I'd Wear It Now
Going on a picnic with friends along a river. I'd be barefoot and would have wild flowers stuck in my hair.
Channel The Look
This antique Regency dress is refreshingly modern. Go for a midi or maxi length dress featuring an all over floral print against a light cream or oatmeal backdrop and a soft squared neckline.
