Sneaking in a little sewing work on an 1880’s gown while also prepping for our first family vacation in 4 years! I’m loving the bubble pink and white stripe of this fabric- will be perfect for the warmer months! #aimeevictorian #1880sfashion #historicalfashion #historicalsewing #historicalseamstress

I had quite a few questions on yesterdays’ post about short gowns and how common they were during the Regency era. As these items were worn for everyday tasks, there are not a ton of original examples….just like working gowns. The ones that we do have show a wide range of style and lengths. Some longer, some shorter, some drawstring, and some button/hook in the front. This style of jacket from around 1795-1820 had several names including: short gown, morning dress, and morning jacket. Found in both cotton and silk, these jackets were worn by various social classes and all throughout the 19th century - with the design and look changing along with fashion.

A few work in progress images of an 1805 short gown. While not what most people think of as typical Regency wear, short jackets like this were common for both upper and working class women. I am paring my short jacket with a very simple sleeveless (for those warm summer days), front closing gown. Still debating whether to fill the neckline with a neckerchief or chemisette…..
