Regency - Jane Austen style 1. All vintage reproductions.

JA1 Made some years ago by designer Olivia Barnard-Firth, "The Wicked Lady", for a client who attended many balls and masques. The underlying dress is silver-grey polyester satin. The outer swathe of fabric is metallic, from the 1920s. The bolero is chemical lace; it has caused some pulls in the underlying bodice fabric, but they don't show when the bolero is in place.
