For some reason this one took me forever idk. I deccided to do a Regency gown because they're much simpler than most of the other historical fashions I fancy; this one took me the longest to do. So I dunno about that.
Anyway, she's off to a ball in the Regency era (about 1795-1837, though things like this and the Jane Austen stuff you see all the time tend to be around 1811 to the early 1830s), the clothing of which is known for being very flowy and sheer. This is a brief period of time when stays and corsets were out of fashion (breathing is fun!), and the dresses of the day were modelled very much after a sort of Grecian ideal, meant to cling to the figure--women would often wet them down to make them cling more. (And this in a time with no central heating.)
My pony girl, however, isn't doing that, which is good because I personally wouldn't trust dyes of the era when wet. She's rather proud of her new dress with its shiny satin detailing and matching fan. Beaded headbands were also very popular for the time, again, trying to reflect Greek and Roman statuary; I took the liberty of adding some matching pearls in her tail. I did some research and formal gloves of the era were almost exclusively white, regardless of the color of the dress, but fans usually either matched the outfit or would have elaborate scenes painted on them.
Original human base is, as usual, from Doll on the Hill Factory, and as usual, heavily modified by me.
