Making this waistcoat was an adventure in tailoring but well worth every moment! Making a men's regency vest fit me was so validating and feels so comfortable. I love the Regency period and I've made a historical regency outfit before, but this one is a men's costume and therefore requires a little more attention. It's a Darcy cosplay from the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice and it's my all-time favourite Darcy AND my all-time favourite outfit of his. Mens regency fashion is such an underrated style and I am loving every moment of living this part of historical costuming!
Given the number of Regency and historical fashion dramas that are coming to TV this spring, it felt like the perfect time to get my historical crossplay on and really go to town making historical clothing from such a popular period for fashion.
This waistcoat really helped me to get to grips with how to tailor and how to make specific alterations for myself and I am so pleased to have done it.
For the Laughing Moon 125 Waistcoat, I used “View C” for those of you who are interested. Link below!
