This has so many answers the questions I had! So many people use a lot of hand sewing when making gowns like this so it's nice to see some machine techniques.

So glad this was helpful for you! I like to mix it up for times sake, but also make it look correct 👍🏼

Thank you so much for clearly showing all the details in the process of making this lovely bodice and polonaise. I've now made a handful of 18th & 19th Century dresses which I've enjoyed wearing to events. I particularly liked the way you've done the neat corners, pleats, boning and understiching . You've inspired me onto my next project.

This was the best explanation of how to attach polonaise to bodice. And of stay-stitching!

Wow!! I cannot believe you don't have more subscribers because this was so great! I'm just getting into making my own historical clothing and although I really enjoy watching costube videos, I often I feel confused about the details when I try to follow myself. This video, however, is SO clear and well-explained, I feel like I might actually be able to put together an 18th Century-inspired gown for the summer!

Trim can hide just about anything. I tend to charge far more for an untrimmed gown because I meticulously hand stitch the neckline. If it’s gonna be trimmed I whip it up real quick on the machine!

It's so interesting to see how others sew. I also don't press until I sew the shoulders together.

You should be making/selling patterns. I know you probably wouldn’t want to compete with anything in your shop but just do other things. Like history adjacent, cottage core skirts and bodices maybe. You’re so good at explaining, you use a machine, so you’d be able to do really nice instructions.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve thought about it but I’m working on developing my pattern drafting skills. Definitely a thought of mine though!

@sanskritiarya1003 3 жыл бұрын

Pls also tell about the fabric you used in designing the dress which is very important

Do we need the petticoat/what is the purpose? Seems to me like the skirt looks just fine. Great tutorial!

They help hide whatever skirt support is used to give the correct period shape (hoop skirt, bum roll, bum pad). They also kept the ladies warm during winter

Fabulous work! What pattern are you using? It looks self drafted, do you have any info on that process?

Thank you! So I didn't self draft this dress, but I used a pattern from "Period Impressions" and added my own trimmings.

Holy cow!!!!! I am so glad that you're using a sewing machine! So many of the tutorials use historically accurate hand sewing, even for the bloody shift!!!.... that's cool and everything but I just don't have time for that! By the way I would love to come work with you ❣️❣️❣️

So glad this was helpful! I really do believe in machine sewing if it doesn’t compromise the look. 🙂
