Thank you Susan 💕

Yea I find that regency fashion repetition fascinating! That project sounds so pretty 🤩

The next one I was going to make is the jump dress (the red and black one), but I was also thinking of doing the flying dress.

@@CarolineElizabethMartin please do the flying dress, if I see someone make it it would make me so happy, because I once did that “i’m flying” scene in school for an event and it was really cool

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions when making it don’t hesitate to ask.

You’re so right about it being a gateway. Usually 90s period pieces are awful for historical accuracy but Titanic did almost everything correctly!

Yay! Good luck

Thank you 😊 I feel the dress history is just as important as the construction process

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the encouragement 💕

Yay I’m excited for you! Message me if you have any trouble

Thanks Cazza 🥰

Thanks Tiff!

Thank you Sue 😊💕

Thanks Kaberi!

Thanks Stacey! 😊🍓🪡

Thank you Majda 💛

also, I thought the audio was perfectly fine!!

Thank you! if you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me

@@CarolineElizabethMartin you are so kind thank you 🥺

Thanks Althea 😊

Thanks Leo fan!

That’s funny because that’s been a desire of mine since the beginning! It’s just such an intricate piece I feel I don’t have the skill for yet. I also love her coronation gown❤️🇬🇧

Oooo I love that idea

👍

Thank you Purnima!

Thank you! I have examined simplicity 8399, it definitely would need some adjustment to get it to be super similar to the original. Actually the back was really hard for me, that’s why I don’t turn around in the video 😅. I ended up doing a standard closure with hooks and eyes. I plan on doing the jump dress next- a lot of beading lol

@@CarolineElizabethMartin Oh definitely, from the looks of it on the front cover it totally needs adjustments! Especially the fabric. The problem is I can’t sew without a pattern or print to follow. And I want to make the swim dress as authentic and close to the original as possible, like you did! I can still follow the Simplicity pattern and make my own adjustments as I go along, right? Do you sell your dresses? If so I would LOVE to purchase a swim dress from you! You’re so talented!

@@TheGreekPianist yes absolutely, I think if you follow the pattern and make your own adjustments accordingly it would come out amazing! At the moment I do not sell dresses, maybe one day!

Etsy! There are so many options there

So this took me about a month to make but I wasn’t working on it seriously. If you work on it 5-8 hours a day you could probably finish it in a week/2weeks. I’m not 100% sure given my skill level is intermediate to advance. Can you read a pattern? There is a titanic pattern by simplicity that you can purchase to make a less accurate swim dress. I think this dress would be great for a beginner because it’s probably the easiest dress from the titanic to make. However there are a lot of little strategic things like the sash, the lace, the beading, the multiple skirts, the sleeves.

Grazie 💕

Sorry Yaneli, I took a little break from KZfaq. if you still need help can you specify what you mean about the bodice?

@@CarolineElizabethMartin it’s fine, I’m glad your back :)! But I was talking about the sketches to make the bodice I think it was

I've been researching the various Edwardian (late and early) corset styles. Boning really began to calm down in the mass produced 1910s corsets and like you mention, smoothed the hips and landed at the upper thigh. My November project will be dedicated to recreating the jump dress 😏. There is no doubt Rose would've worn a corset with the jump dress since it was a dinner dress. So I will be constructing her corset and combinations in preparation for the project, excited!

I wish they sold it as well! It’s called either the swim dress, sinking dress or water dress because Rose wore it during the scene where the ship is sinking.

Agreed, it was so hard to find the perfect shade lavender silk chiffon that was also affordable. Ordering online and then getting it in person was definitely difficult for color matching. That’s why I added the white underskirt to lighten everything up lol

@@CarolineElizabethMartin still turned out beautiful just an observation. This was my favorite dress from the movie

No unfortunately I made it myself using patterns of fashion and some pattern drafting of my own, good luck!

@@CarolineElizabethMartin thank you so much I really appreciate the help but if you don’t mind me asking is the skirts gathered to give them extra volume and is there a train on the dress

@@Austinrr27 yes they are lightly gathered. it's really important to gather them evenly in order to prevent puckering in any one area. there's not really a train, it's more like the piece of fabric from the sash closing the back and is quite long, so it acts like a train.

@@CarolineElizabethMartin ok thank you so so much I really appreciate your help

@@CarolineElizabethMartin I’m sorry for all the questions but what’s the width of the straps on the white georgette bodice

Apparently Deborah Scott (who was the costume designer) called it the water dress. In the public consciousness it’s known as the swim dress or sinking dress because it was worn during the scene where rose is wading through water much of the time and the boat is sinking.

Hi Jake, many Titanic fans refer to this costume as the swim dress. This costume models a 1910s tea dress. Pajamas of the time were usually roomy, white cotton or linen night gowns.

@@CarolineElizabethMartin Well, I always assumed it was like her nightgown or something.

You’re right does kind of look like a night gown
