During the Regency era, women’s dresses were usually fastened in the back with ties. You may prefer to set aside the historically accurate playbook and sew a Regency dress using modern techniques and closures, e.g. zippers.

Our new hacks for the Lady Katherine pattern turn an historically accurate pattern into a blank slate for your imagination to run wild. And make it easier to wear! The pattern hacks are available now in a downloadable PDF. The instructions supplement the Lady Katherine pattern, but the techniques can be used with any Regency dress pattern.
