Guest Posting and My Regency Dress

I have been asked by Charity at Austenitis to post on her blog while she's unable to, along with Miss Bennet from Elegance of Fashion. I will be doing that this week, and when I write a post for hers I'll link to it right here. If nothing else, I will have it for my personal reference. ;-)
Introduction post (interview)
Anne of Green Gables (movie)
Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel
Bleak House (mini-series)
The Love Letter (movie)
Sense and Sensibility Comparison: Part I *
Sense and Sensibility Comparison: Part II *
Sense and Sensibility Comparison: Part III *
Sense and Sensibility Comparison: Part IV *
* with Miss Bennet from Elegance of Fashion

The other thing - I wanted to have a picture of myself in my Regency-styled dress for my profile, and I thought I might as well put a bigger picture on this post too, for anybody interested. Yes, I made the dress, and the hat too. =)

    That's awesome! Did you use a pattern for the Regency dress? Which one?

    Miss Bennet: Oh, and it's the long sleeved one, in case you couldn't tell. I just made the sleeves shorter.

    Melody, I enjoyed reading your interview with Charity U over at Austenitis and learning more about you! I look forward to reading your guests posts there!

    Your dress is so lovely! I really like the fabric color and the lace accents. And a bonnet too, how lovely! Oooh, that's the Regency dress pattern from Sense & Sensibility Patterns! I really admire you ladies who can sew and make such lovely things!

    Liz, Abby, and Miss Laurie:
    Thank you very much! I'm hoping to make a ball-gown type Regency dress before too long.
