Mary Robinette’s answer to “Do you make your own Regency underwear? What patterns do you use? What do you wish other costumer…” > Likes and Comments

I hadn't even thought about the problem of some flowers not existing that would be on modern fabrics! I will have to remember that if I use any prints.

I have been very glad to find that Regency costuming has been so empty of policing others. I do find it interesting to see how the popular image of the era is influenced by what styles are available to or popular among reenactors, but I'd much rather have more people than more accuracy on the whole.

OMG! Didn't wear underpants or anything between their legs!!!
