Midnight Blue Embroidered Regency Spencer

My lovely friends gave me a couple patterns from Sense and Sensibility for my birthday and I couldn't wait to try them out! Here is my first try at a Regency Spencer:
I added tabs to the front and made buttons and embroidered them:
As well as added a touch of embroidery on the collar:

The fabric was so thick, I pleated it instead of gathering. I like the way it looks!

Back View: (don't you just love those diamond shaped backs?)
I used leftover fabric from my dad's pirate coat and lined it with leftover fabric from my Jane Bennet Jacket.
It's now available in my Etsy Shop!
