Favourite ever regency?

[pemberleyserena]

All this JAF prep has got me very into regency again...and I wondered what everyone's favourite ever regency costume was?  Anything anyone has made/seen on screen/seen in a portait or fashion plate that really made them fall in love with regency?

Thank you for posting this. It reminded me to take pictures of one of my favorite dresses in my collection. It wasn't really what made me fall in love with the Regency look, but it made me want to start dressing in the style. The set of pictures is here (It's a later dress but I love it)

I don't know how to post pictures in a comment box, & I don't have all the ones I love in an online album. But overall I loved the ones in the movies Pride & Prejudice (Colin version), showing the plain day dresses, then the fancy fabric ones with the wonderful turbans. Also in Sense & Sensibility (Emma Thompson version) I loved the open robes worn over the day dresses (with the piece under the bodice). Again I loved the fancy evening ones. These dresses just felt so feminine, and makes me feel pretty wearing them.

There are too many good examples to choose from! There's a lovely dress in the Met here that is one of my faves. Plus the blue gown Elinor has in the 1995 Sense and Sensibility. And many others...
