In this beginner-friendly sewing workshop, you’ll create your very own Bridgerton-esque Regency gown inspired by the refined silhouettes of the Regency era (1811–1820).

Guided step-by-step, you’ll learn foundational sewing skills while constructing a flowing, empire-waist gown reminiscent of the romance and glamour seen in Bridgerton. Perfect for first-time garment makers and curious creatives alike, you’ll leave not only with a handcrafted Regency gown, but with the confidence to continue your sewing journey.

No prior experience required. Just bring your curiosity and a sewing machine! Class fee does not include fabrics or notions. Participants will be given exact instructions on purchasing materials at first introductory session. The pattern for the gown will be provided.
