Another spencer - Jane Austen Festival

An early 19th century spencer

I have made one warm long sleeved spencer for my trip to Bath, now I am creating a lighter one, using the spencer shape on the right.

I will wear it with my Regency 'little white dress' to give it a different look.

 My sewing assistant, our new ginger baby!

Right: What's this crinkly stuff?
Left: Bored now, what other interesting things can I do ...

Left: Back view with peplum.
Right:Front view with pleats and band.
















Spencer finished bar the neck ruffle and hand sewing.

FINISHED!
