I love the Regency style. These gowns are elegant, slimming, comfortable and easy to wear, and simple to make, and even plain dresses in humble cotton prints had style and elegance difficult to achieve with cheap fabrics in the fussier, more ornate 18th century and Victorian styles with their dependence on layered petticoats and hoops.
