The high waist style of the regency dress was based on the empire style gowns fashionable in France. However, the English gowns were slightly fuller in skirt width than the French gowns. Sheer cotton fabrics such as muslin, gauze, and percale were the most popular English gown materials of the period. Cotton was imported from the Americas and India and manufactured in English textile mills. Since the gowns of this period were so thin, the cold of winter required the adoption of large shawls imported from Kashmir.
Also, the English tailors fashioned the Spencer jacket - a short close fitting jacket cut from the same style as the dress bodice worn underneath the Redingote, which is a long coat. (Separate pattern available for the Redingote and Bonnet).
