This is an old project I finally got around to finishing. After watching Emma (2009) and admiring its many lovely Regency costumes, I thought it would be cool to sew this empire-waist tunic top pattern:
Overall, I was left uninspired and unimpressed. Granted, this top looks better worn with a sash, but then you still have a lot of fabric bunched up in the back. I'm also not a huge fan of how the gathered front is designed; you can get the same look, only more flattering, with their Regency gown pattern (#4055 view B).
What I do like about this pattern is the array of sleeve options. The one I chose is not very exciting, but there are three additional designs, very handy if you're into mixing & matching patterns. That's enough reason to keep this one.
