Simplicity S8941 Regency Gown & Robe Sewing Pattern is a beautiful, easy-to-make historical costume perfect for Jane Austen events.

The gown consists of an adjustable bodice with a gathered front and fitted back, which can be made with 3/4 sleeves and no train, or long sleeves and a full train. The open robe features a fitted bodice that hooks in front and is designed to be worn over the gown, and can be made with long sleeves or short, and with a train or not. All of the pieces in this pattern are interchangeable.

This costume can be worn without stays. The underbodice is darted at the bust, which can easily be adjusted or eliminated to be worn with stays as well. The gown features drawstring closures on the overbodice at empire waist and bustline, which allows for adjustability and preference for fit.

Beautiful Shoes, Bring Band-Aids
Size: 8, Color: Gold/Glitter
I bought these for a wedding and, let me tell you, they passed the ultimate test: an entire night of dancing like I was still in my twenties. The shoes are cute, surprisingly sturdy, and looked great with my dress. They made it through hours of standing, walking, and questionable dance-floor decisions. That said... my feet were not thrilled with me afterward. I ended up with blisters that seemed determined to become a permanent part of my personality for the next couple of weeks. Would I wear these as an everyday shoe? Absolutely not. Would I wear them to another wedding? Probably. Were they worth the cost? Definitely. Just do yourself a favor and pack some blister pads in your purse before you hit the dance floor.

Amazing Shoes
Size: 9, Color: Brown
This is my first time wearing a Bruno Marc MaxFlex Dress Sneakers Oxfords Casual Wingtip Brogue Shoes. I was quite impressed how the shoes arrived and how they had a protection bag over each shoe. Very impressed by that, The shoes are very comfortable , lightweight squishy and affordable and very stylish. I recommend them.

Comfortable and complimentary
Size: 11, Color: Brown
The shoes are very comfortable and easily broke in after two wears. I get several compliments on them daily, and others have purchased them after seeing mine. I also have the black pair, but the brown ones are my favorite. Sizing is true to size, an excellent value for your money, and they are lightweight and breathable. The soles are thick, which makes them extremely comfortable.

Comfy and non slip! Amazing!
Size: 9.5, Color: All Black
I work 12hrs sometimes on my feet. These shoes are amazing !!! Broke them in on a 10hr shift and they feel like walking on pillows. My feet were comfy and not throbbing. I felt the difference in the non slip in the kitchen and I’ll say it outright……. Worth the $40! I got the brown coming and I’m assuming they’ll be just as comfortable. Bruno Marc’s are great!

Nice but not ideal sizing.
These look nice. They do not have a traditional tongue, replacing it with some sort of elastic lining. They do fit larger than expected. I purchased wide since normally need that and it creates a bump just below the laces. Also, after size 11 there are only whole size increases. I feel an 11.5 regular would have fit better. They are pretty comfortable with a cushiony insole and thick sole.
