I finished making a linen ruffle shirt and silk vest! Plus a better view of my Cossack pants.
The shirt is linen from fabric mart using the same pattern as my other shirt, but this time I added ruffles and shirt-links.

The pants are made out of bedsheets. I’m not ashamed of it. They’re more 1820s/1830s styled so I’m mixing it up a bit, but I think that’s ok because these clothes are not reenacting.
The cravat is from Burnley and Trowbridge and it’s one of my favorites I have now.
The shoes are American Duchess (yes, they’re Victorian style shoes and not regency period. I don’t care because they’re incredibly cool. Pretend they’re spats).
I’ve been very busy this month. Click on the pictures for full resolution.
I got the socks from American Duchess and my cravat is a rayon fabric I made into a cravat. Rayon is a really great substitute when silk is often too expensive, it also wrinkles less.

New outfit I started making in December! I’m super happy with how each piece came out since I’ve gotten a lot faster at hand sewing, thus significantly more of my garments are done by hand. I would like to do more in depth posts on each garment soon, but for now I’ll add the general info.
The shirt was a nice cotton that was gifted to me. The buttonholes a stud eyelets were done by hand as well as many other elements.
The vest is a linen and cotton blend I got from Fabric mart. The print is called Strawberry Thief. The buttonholes were done by hand, as well as the topstitching along the edge.
The stud set is from the 1930s.
The pantaloons are probably the piece I’m most proud of that I’ve made so far. They’re a wool that my mom had in her stash. The knots were done by hand through a process of ironing, basting, and sewing on. I used Burnley & Trowbridge’s wool braid/tape. I was extremely proud of how they came out and the wool tape pressed beautifully.
The cape is wool with a cotton velveteen lining. I used one of my old graduation cords as the roping. The tassels hang down the front but you can’t see it in the pictures.
Plus new cravat! Also From Burnley and Trowbridge. I starched my cravat, my shirt front, my vest, and my corset.
Self portrait/rendering of clothes I want to make! I’ve made several attempts to replicate the style of regency fashion plates and using an ink pen proved the most successful. I think they used the dryness of the pen to get the varying thicknesses of ink. I think I can perfect it a bit more, but I’m very proud of this.
