Current fabric options:

- If you see a fabric on another REGENCY SPENCER that you are interested in, feel free to message and ask if it will work for this Spencer design.
To achieve the correct historical silhouette, it is pictured over a chemise, stays, and petticoat, but no chemise, stays, or petticoat are included with this listing. This spencer is made to fit over stays and will not fit correctly over modern undergarments. However, if you would like your commissioned spencer to fit over modern undergarments, please send a message, and I will be happy to oblige!
Measure your bust and waist to determine which size to order and choose your size based on the following sizing guidelines. For the most accurate fit, please take the measurements while wearing your stays and other undergarments (i.e. chemise, petticoat, etc).

- X-Small (US women's 0-2): Bust - 33", Waist - 25"

I have been sewing for 30 years - from learning by making doll clothes to creating wedding dresses and quilts, I have made it all! All seams are finished with a serger or self-encased to prevent fraying and increase durability, and all items are made and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free home.
All designs are designed based on period fashion plates and photos of extant dresses, and all patterns are self-drafted. Thank you for looking. Please message me if you have any questions!
