Regency and Bridgerton Style Patterns from the Big Companies??? Are they any good?

Can you make regency era or Bridgerton style fashions with patterns from the Big companies? Well, you can. Will they be as historically accurate as patterns from boutique pattern companies? No. Will they give you one of the best outfits at a Halloween party? Absolutely.
In this video, I share my four most commonly used regency fashion and Bridgerton style clothes. I rank them from favorite to least favorite. I often combine different pieces from the patterns to make a look closer to what I want.

Do you have a favorite Regency Era or Bridgerton pattern that you use? Or do you prefer using historical patterns? Let me know!

I'm using the Laughing Moon #126 Round or Trained Gown with high stomacher. It is really straightforward and simple to follow. I have used the Black Snail #219 Empire Dress with front closure. I found the directions a little confusing, but it was one of the earliest outfits I made three years ago. Love your recommendations. I have the first two patterns, I tend to collect them when they go on sale.

I just finished the McCall's 8132. The dress was a bit more than "easy". I put in a zipper, because my daughter wanted use a corset over it. Loved making the spencer. Found it easier than the dress😂

I am a beginner with Regency fashion and already have the first three patterns. I didn’t purchase the fourth one because it looked too costume-y and asked for zippers, but I’m glad you said it makes good petticoats. BTW, I looked for the chemisette pattern in the link you gave, but it is no longer available.

Love your video! I have most of these patterns, but haven't attempted any yet because of the volume of fabric required. Just a regular person who loves these styles, too :) Your gowns are beautiful!! Very helpful, indeed!! Thank you!

OMG I am so happy to meet others like me! There is a lot of fabric - especially in the simplicity American Duchess!

I am going to attend the Jane Austen Bath festival this year and need a historical accurate regency outfit. I don't seem to find anything that works already made so thinking on sewing my own. This is extremely daunting as although I have a sewing machine my knowledge is quite basic and have only sewn tote bags and skirts so far. Any recommendations of the easiest pattern to follow for a beginner or how to get started? Thanks!
