The Chapter Blog is about more than just the ORS

This is the Oregon Regency Society's Northwest Chapter blog. Since the ORS is HQed in this chapter, this blog might cover a broader area, but it mostly serves as a source of information for local events, and a resource for all things regency for the world. Here, we offer tips and links for the construction of your Regency costume elements, and more.

Browse the link lists below to find posts or links to helpful references and tutorials. Feel free to click through to the Oregon Regency Society main page to contact us if you have any questions.
Also, feel free to join the RSA (Regency Society of America) forum and join the discussion about the period, its costume, its culture and more. Use the tag terms to refine your search of our various posts; like 'How-To' and 'Tutorial'.

What is the ORS?

The Oregon Regency Society is a collection of diverse souls who all share a common obsession with the English Regency. Our group consists of Jane Austen fanatics, English Country and Regency Dancers, Historic Reenactors, Costumers, artisans and craftsfolk, Regency Romance addicts and so much more.

Our activities include regency balls, parties, teas, craft and art workshops and readings. We do Regency movie marathons; costume sewing classes, English Country Dance classes, and all manner of other diversions that are regency themed. This blog is to accompany our events; so we can share our fun. :)

We are all ages, all walks of life. Our balls and parties are festive and civilized. We hold them around the state of Oregon. Our members are from Oregon, Washington and even California and Arizona!
