Regency Mens Outfit Costume

by Heidi  • 2016

This Regency-inspired steampunk costume includes jacket, vest, breeches, chemisette, tie and jabot. I created this cosplay character for a children's storytime event. It's based on a 1921 vintage McCall's pattern for Regency menswear, so the quality is more "theater" than "historical," but it's perfect for this cosplay application and Doug really enjoys wearing it which is what matters most of all! If you are interested in construction details (how I made this costume), read the diary.
