Regency Dress
Pattern & Propriety: A Regency Paper Dress
This delicate sculpture captures the elegant silhouette of early 19th century fashion through the artful manipulation of sewing pattern paper. The piece features a meticulously crafted Regency-era dress with characteristic empire waistline, modest bodice, and flowing skirt—hallmarks of the Jane Austen era recently popularised by "Bridgerton."
The juxtaposition of undyed pattern paper for the bodice and sleeves against the warm, rose-stained skirt creates a visual contrast that highlights the form while preserving the authentic pattern markings. These visible instructions and notations offer a thoughtful commentary on fashion construction—the finished garment crafted from the very blueprint meant to create it.
Mounted in a cloche, this miniature dress sculpture explores themes of historical fashion, craftsmanship, and the transformation of utilitarian materials into art. Each fold and connection has been thoughtfully considered, bringing the refined sensibilities of Regency style into contemporary artistic expression.
A perfect conversation piece for literary enthusiasts, fashion historians, and lovers of handcrafted paper art.
