Dearest Journal, today is one of the best days I have had in a long time. My Dress was back today from the seamstress. I get to go this afternoon and get it fully fitted. Predictably Mama asked for me to be attended to by a different dressmaker. I do not believe that she has done this to Mrs Fitzgerald as she helped me to pick this beautiful gown. However, my excitement is not eclipsed by this turn of events. As is the proper etiquette for events of this standing, I am wearing a white dress that is floor length. It has capped sleeves so that I can maintain the ladylike air. I am concerned about falling over in front of the prince regent, which would be most humiliating.
Papa approached me again. This time to warn me about the need to be careful when pursuing his affections as he has heard some of the most outlandish rumours regarding him and ladies' propriety. I will need to look into this since I do not believe it. I do not want to tarnish myself if it turns out to be the truth: I will distance myself a little for now.
Yours Confused

Stunning!
Lovely dress ❣️
