This reminds me a of a prairie dress pattern I have. There are lots of folds and pleats like this. I'll bet when a woman was pregnant, they could take some of those pleats out for her.

Wonderful. I can never picture how you do that. Always seems like magic to me

Thank you! It's a bit of magic to me as well. I fiddle and pleat and re-do and suddenly everything falls into place and looks right.

I love the way it drapes and drags! Is it hard to walk in and not get dirty?

Thank you! Not hard to walk in- unless someone steps on it...

You never cease to amaze me with your exceptional and extraordinary seamstress skills! It is stunning! It is an exact replica of the gowns of that period!

No it is not, though I based the pattern from a gown in Janet Arnold's "Patterns of Fashion"

I shall have to procure that book!
Once, I had purchased a book of lithographs by Italain engraver of the Regency Era. Btu alas it lost in our recent move.

I think Janet Arnold's books are a bit of a "must" if you re interested in fashion history.

Yes, with my illustrations, histroical accuracy is an absolute necessity, if not, then all is in vain.
