I'm usually for historical accuracy, but I can't blame them for not putting the actresses on that

Definitely the most deranged dress silhouette ever. The feeties sticking out from the bottom kills me lmaooo

My 5 year old nephew waked in while you were getting dressed. He asked if you were dressing like a princess, and when you finished dressing, he said you were a real princess now. High praise indeed.

We need some kind of parade with these dresses, where each person's dress is themed and decorated like some kind of float, and/or bird dances are performed by squashing and expanding the hoops.

It is such a lost opportunity to not have the Featherington sisters in them.. Imagine these in those neon greens and yellows 😅

Justice for the British Regency court dress! It's so wonderfully ridiculous.

[fitandhappy]

The late 18th Century English court dress still lives on in the form of that little dolly that covers the spare toilet roll at your grandma’s house.

OMG. You aren't kidding. The high, empire waist with a full hoop skirt looks LUDICROUS.

Okay, the dress is hilarious and you deserve massive recognition for powering through that, but my favorite part was seeing you interacting with others at the ball! They're all "Oooh, tea and crumpets, Regency cosplay!" and you were straight up coming to the ball after being presented to the Queen at court! Like many of your followers, I appreciate historical accuracy and actually seeing one of these dresses on an actual human was amazing!

I can almost guarantee that early 19th century dressmakers were losing their minds trying to balance royal demands and the demands of their clients to be trendy. "How the hell are we supposed to combine hoops with a high waisted bodice? It will look ridiculous!" "I don't know, just try adding more lace and sparkly bits. Maybe they won't notice how stupid they look if we blind them with shiny things."

[LeoDeGrand]

These dresses are giving ~dome shaped birthday cake with a barbie jammed in the centre of it~

[MathewWalls]

There's such a huge difference between an illustration and seeing it on an actual person. Crazy comparison.

[kalinka]

"I really want to put my hands in the hoops and look like a plasma TV" had me cracking up so bad 🤣🤣🤣

[PhillipsLacy]

I just love the fact that I'm not the only one who gets into a project, gets overwhelmed, and just gives up and puts a project away for years! I have one of these hanging out in my closet right now!

[carolineroper]

The opening scene of season 2 where Eloise is self conscious about her court appearance would have been hilarious if she were wearing one of these

[Andrew_in_the_garden]

'I "still" can't get over it' makes you sound like a vampire who lived through that period lmao

[dagdraam]

its giving lord farquaad's miniature being pushed into a giant cake

[SinomeRae]

This silhouette is by far the silliest thing I have ever seen. I need to make one IMMEDIATELY.

Court guard:
"Looks like young miss Fawkes has taken after her ancestors and is smuggling 2 barrels of gunpowder under that dress!"
