Regency Costuming 101: Budget Accessories

Another in my series on making a budget Regency costume! You don't need to invest $100s in your first costume, and I'll show you how in this ongoing series.

This week's Regency Costuming 101 is going to cover shawls, fichus, overdresses and headwear.

Reminder that this series is for people NOT going for a 100% historically accurate (HA) costume, but who are looking to make their first costume on a budget that mimics the look and silhouette of the period. This made for people who are looking to learn how to up their sewing skills, but aren't ready to tackle a whole project.

I have a longer companion blog post to help here: https://bookhoarding.wordpress.com/

Chapters:
0:00-0:49 Intro
0:39-1:37 Shawls
1:37-4:21 Thrifted fichus
4:21-5:30 Regency vests
5:30-7:09 Regency overdresses
7:09-10:55 Regency caps and bonnets
