Lizzy Bennet's Costumes from Pride and Prejudice 2005

Pride and Prejudice 2005 bewitched me body and soul. So it’s no shock that as we inch closer to the 20th anniversary (time flies) of the gorgeous, dreamy adaptation, it’s biggest fan* takes on recreating some of the iconic looks from the film. *citation needed It’s time for me to make my dream wardrobe. Which is the dresses from Pride and Prejudice 2005. And to do that, we have to start with…

why am i so excited for the new bridgerton season

[elfgirlcraftworks]

So, I guess you're wondering if I succeeded in my Bridgerton challenge?

I did! With about an hour to spare.

I purchased a white on white quilting cotton (clearance buy!) but me and white do not get along because I'm a clutz. So I dyed it...twice.

After the first dye the printing didn't take color so I dyed it a second time with something for synthetics and ended up with this lovely result. A turkey fryer may have been involved to keep the dyebath for 8 yards of fabric hot enough.

I'm not usually this meticulous with my pattern pieces but for some reason I was this time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The pattern is Laughing Moon 126.

Also, hyperfocus is a hell of a thing so this is the only in progress shot I took (because my kid had to take their friend home and I had to be in the car.)

Can you tell I like it? There's no pockets yet. I have to make a pair of tie on ones but there's slits for accessing them. I also used snaps instead of period accurate pins because the idea of pins that close to the girls is a wee bit frightening.

Fortunately my neighbors are used to my weirdness so I got some shots in the sun too.

Next up: Evening wear! I'll be using a different pattern for the dress and an open robe made from a sari (very period). But first, some writing and quilting.

This red Regency gown was first seen on an extra in 2022 in the second season of Bridgerton in the episode Off to the Races. It was seen again in 2024, where it was worn by Eliza Bennett as Harriet in Hallmark’s 2024 An American In Austen.

Asking for historical accuracy from Bridgerton is like asking for a steak and kidney pie at a patisserie. I mean technically that is something they could make but it’s not been advertised as such and you’re being a bit of a bitch for asking.

A Song of Ice and Fashion- House Tyrell

ft. the hairstyles from my other series

I wanted the Tyrell’s and the reach to wear a lot of pastels and floaty fabrics since it’s described as being really warm all the time. I went with a regency style since the regency era is known for being romantic and flowery also the fabrics are perfect for warm weather since they allow sweat to evaporate really easily. I also just really like the empire waist for the Tyrell’s since it would be really uncomfortable for a warm weather area to have tight fabric along the entirety of the torso.

Lords of the Wing Fashion Plates

Thank you to Aabria Iyengar @quiddie, Emily Axford, Lou Wilson for some of my favorite d10 characters: the cousins Chirp and Squak.

A Court of Fey and Flowers is one of my favorite @dimension20official seasons so I’ve been meaning to take my own stab at designing Regency inspired looks based on the brilliant character art of @faithschaffer

Also inspired by classic fashion plate engravings, the Victoria Crown Pigeon, and Secretary Bird of course.

My good omens 1814 Crowely cosplay, from the regency picnic a few weeks back. Everything is based on dresses from the era and made by me less the glasses and parasol. plus some grumpy photos with ducks and me with my friends aziphale look.

Here's new artwork I’ve done for the tabletop RPG DANDIES & DANDYZETTES! This is my rendition of one of our backers, Sid, in a dramatic gown with a Medici collar. Informed by an 1814 portrait of Miss Stanley, an actress at Drury Lane, Sid will help to illustrate the world of the theatre.

one thing I haven't seen addressed, or maybe I missed it, is why Rogue is the ONLY man wearing boots at the Duchess's party - another example of his incomplete research (in-universe explanation) or just because this outfit is hot (extradiegetic and I'm not complaining)?

all the other men are in knee-breeches, most with white stockings though a couple of them have black stockings, and all with dancing shoes/pumps.

I suppose the Chuldur Duchess is not going to cavil about this, but the original Duchess would definitely have had things to say about it :)

Simple, elegant beauty. Whether you prefer to call it Georgian or Regency, this Empire waist design is certainly recognizable. Dating from 1810, just a year before George III was too ill to continue his reign. It was another 10 years, however, until George III passed away and George IV took up the mantle of King.

I love the elegance and simplicity of the early Regency period, and this gown happens to be in one of my favorite colors, too. The beaded and lace details on the sleeves and bodice are delicate and dainty, while that gold silk still has its luster.

Personally, I love how you can see this dress as part of the evolution from round gowns just earlier.

I may have written a dress very similar to this in my own Regency fantasy novel. Just saying. Yellow dresses are pure magic.
