Evening Soiree - a Regency evening gown

 

Every fashionable Regency lady would be invited to attend dinner and supper parties known as 'soirées' and would need to be dressed correctly for this. 'Evening Soirée' is just the type of outfit to be seen in. 

The Empire style dress in soft ivory satin has short puff sleeves and lace trimmed 'V' neckline. 

The hem of the dress is ruched at intervals with pink rose buds to reveal a false petticoat with deep lace frills. 

A satin sash is tied in a bow under the bust and full length ivory lace gloves are worn. 

A soft embroidered tulle stole completes the outfit along with a feather and rose bud hair pin.
