The new overgown goes so much better with the undergown than the yellow one did; it could have been made for it.

This turned out extremely beautiful, and I loved the reveal in that amazing house!

Totally inspired. I have a passing-accurate gown I made my senior year of high school from the Period Patterns Italian Renaissance packet; I used cotton velvet and a mystery textile brocade. It only has you make the outer gown with sleeves and a "stomacher" to give the look of a full undergown, but now I'm determined to glow it up and make the real deal!!

All that math and finger crossing was worth it for this outcome! It's so beautiful - glad you managed with that limited amount of fabric :) The worn shots are amazing too, that weather set a mood!

I'm not going to pretend I understood all the sewing terminology, but I do know that the 'gatherings' are important 😊😉. It's all about the gatherings...It's incredible that you are hand stitching this. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I've enjoyed getting to know your channel more this year. Hope you have a great New Year.

I know what you mean by fabric that frays like crazy. I'm using fabric that I was told has been made by sino-tebetan artists and Lama monasteries. It's beautiful woven silk with silk embroidery and when it frays, the loose bits are more stubborn than animal hair. But it's a risk to use such a lovely exotic ethnic fabric for a gown.

Ooh! I’ve been looking forward to this 😁 Edit: questions - Did you continue using the strong vintage waxed thread when attaching the gathered skirt and hand sewing the hem? Did you also place a hook and eye at the waist seam and below the tie closure? I love this dress, it is both simple and gracefully attractive - brilliant use of limited supplies, too. Thank you for showing it so evocatively at Swannanoa.

@DamesalaMode 3 жыл бұрын

I did keep using the vintage thread but mostly because A) it matched well and B) I didn't have any more of the regular thread in this color except what was in my bobbin and I didn't want to use that haha! If I had used the regular thread I would have doubled it for strength when I attached the skirts! I didn't place a hook and eye, but I think I actually will do that for the next time I wear it. It was a lot of pressure on that single ribbon. It held, but if I was going to wear it all day I would have been worried about the ribbon!

That overgown fabric really works beautifully with your under gown. It has great body and flows so nicely. Happy New Year!

Hello there! Love the work you've done on this. I'm looking to make one myself out of previous curtain fabric with embossed damask, and I'm also worried about limited fabric. I wanted to ask you, for the skirt, are the panels based off a pattern piece, or just straight panels with no curve for the hem/waistline?

@DamesalaMode 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! These are totally rectangular pieces with no shaping at all!

Where did you find that lace??? I've been looking for some metallic lace for a project and that is exactly what I had pictured! Gorgeous results, as always!

@DamesalaMode 3 жыл бұрын

This was so old janky gold lace I got at a weird fabric remnants store like 15 years ago! It was really heavy and bulky, so I actually cut it apart to make it more delicate and lacey! It worked out really well!
