Greek Court Gown from the 1840s | Amalia Costume pt.4

In this video I show you how I made the dress for my 1840s Greek court gown, the Amalia Type Costume. The fabric I used were 5-6 meters of striped polyester taffeta (I'd loved to use silk, but even the this version made my wallet cry :D) and one meter of the pink taffeta. It was very difficult to find the right fabric, as my vision was to have a pastel coloured striped taffeta, that did not cost an arm and leg - at the end I found this one in a local wholesaler warehouse (eurotextil). For the embroidery I used my Janome Memory Craft 500e, 2000 meters of pale gold and 100 meter silver thread. The belt buckle is vintage from facebook marketplace.

Stunning! As an owner of a predecessor of your embroidery machine, I'm amazed at your alignment skills. Congratulations! I'm also impressed with your digitising skills, I've never though I would try it. Good for you. I've also enjoyed your cinematography, thank you.

Thanks 😊 It's a bit of a hit or miss with the alignment but I'm slowly starting to figure it out.

As a second gen Greek girl living in Canada, I really love this series!! I also love that I could recognize some of the words for the costume (I had a similar red jacket I wore for special days as part of my traditional Greek costume haha)

That's so amazing! I heard the Amalia costume - or parts of it - are still worn on special occasions in Greece, but I didn't know that the tradition is still held outside of it. How wonderful 🥰

The gown is so beautiful! I’m a Hellenic-American, and can find little on this period of dress in Hellas. Thanks so much.

I have been waiting for this video series and i just watch it today?!! I am missing on the notification but oh man, that embroidery took a lot more. I can see why the people from the past would be wearing this extravagant clothing was considered wealthy. Imagine how much money to put for the embroidery alone?! Anyway, nice editing and video all together. Cannot wait for more from your channel!!!❤️❤️❤️

This is amazing. I'm surprised that maybe without stays looks more right... and that seems really strange. But really there is hardly any difference that I could see, just that the dress seems slightly less fitted with the stays on.

@AspiringCostumeDesigner 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, interestingly on camera the difference is a lot less visible! I'm curious to see how the 'jacket' will change the silhuette. I think this calls for a second round of investigation 🤔
