From the seller:
For Sale
A tiny beige silk Antique Regency dress boned bodice all hand sewn with tiny stitches and trimmed with black and beige lace and black beads with cut steel centres-very Austen
The back laces up through tiny hand stitched eyelet holes
Measuring 13"-14" across front
As you can see from the photos the bodice is in pretty good condition but the silk is marked as shown
Ideal for study or to frame
Please see all photos as the form part of the description and do ask if you require more detaild
From Me:
It's very much not Regency. They didn't have sewing machines then. That, and the trim lines are very much 1860's.

The white gown in the fashion plate above has a very similar bodice with similar trim lines to the extant one above.
