Regency dresses: The fashion of Jane Austen

Attention Jane Austen Fans: Pemberly Couture blog discusses how she makes regency gowns...
She sells them at Etsy, but if you can't make your own patterns but want to dress up as Elizabeth Bennett, Regency Patterns can be HERE. (includes e-patterns).
and yes, she also sells Doll patterns...

And you thought tieing a neck tie was hard...
