As promised here are the dresses we made for the first time to the ball organised by Richie Wedge who was in Series 8 of the Great British Sewing Bee (he is in one of the pics with me) - he went out on ep3 :(. I made my dress from a Butterick 6586 but didn't sew the front pleats as far down which created the Regency vibe from a Jacquard using the reverse side, it frayed as soon as it moved. It was a fun night out and a fabulous weekend.
