Make Keepers Dolly Duds Regency Era Spencer and Bonnet set.
This fully lined Spencer has princess seams down the front and back and features a peplum that is gathered in the back. It has roomy puffed sleeves that are finished at the wrist with a narrow ruffle that matches the ruffle at the neckline. Two buttons and button loops secure the spencer in the front and a second set of matching decorative buttons give it a faux double-breasted look.
A bonus bonnet is included with this pattern and is made with a one-piece wide brim that is shaped around a small crown at the back. The bonnet lining, narrow ties, and bias-cut trim can be made from the bonnet fabric or another complimentary fabric.
For a complete outfit, the Spencer and Bonnet pair nicely with the Tea with the Governess dress.
