Inspiration for Regency Dress

This is my inspiration for a regency dress I'm making to wear to see Pride and Prejudice in Ashland on October 31st.

This is Charlotte in the BBC version of P&P. An interesting character with a gorgeous dress!


Unintentionally I ended up buying fabric that is very similar in color. It's a great blue/gray/sky color called denim silkenessence. It has the feel of silk without a shiny finish. It is 100% polyester. It is the 4th color down.

I want the back and sleeves to look like this:



I need to make some adjustments to the pattern and then I hope to cut it out!
