Next, came the stays (corset). The regency era seems to be a bit experimental with their stays; they no longer needed the fully boned stays of the colonial era as fashion was for looser fitted, empire waisted dresses that reflected the Greek/Roman empire era. So there are a few styles out there, but this one is a variation of short stays with no boning.
Then came a petticoat or 2, maybe 3, made from either linen, cotton, silk, or even wool for colder times of the year. I however haven't made a petticoat:( So moving on..... The dress was pulled on over it all.
For going out in colder weather a cloak could be worn as often as a spencer (aka jacket). This one is made from a green wool, with a hood lined with a white poly/silk taffeta.
