If Christine sees this, my reply to your email bounced, it looks like it was blocked as span….go figure! What I said was that I made the dress up from a number of sources, mainly Nancy Bradfield’s book Costume in Detail. You could try Sensibility.com for the pattern for her Romantic gown. Be sure to put net in the sleeves to give them some shape. Good luck, and I am happy to hear of someone passing on the delight of English Country Dance!

I’m researching a Mary Somerville (scientist from 1800s) steampunk (where I’ll wear it mostly) outfit and I know she liked English Country Dancing, so I’m delighted to see this post. I guess I’ll also wear it to the Playford Ball for some good old-fashioned dancing!
