Is this the best maternity dress ever?

✂️
Regency era dresses have really grown on me over the years. With their flattering empire waists, light and flowy fabric, they are very translatable to a modern day, "elegant everyday" wardrobe. How do you feel about Regency era dresses? Think BBC Pride and Prejudice 💕

The best part? Regency era dresses seem tailor made to accommodate life seasons of pregnancy and breastfeeding. 😍

I fell in love with the extant dress from 1805 featured in Patterns of Fashion 1, with its delightful pin tucks, bias cut bodice and sleeves, not to mention built-in bust support. I drafted a version of that pattern to fit my body, and plan on making another version in a different fabric. ♥️
