I have the same exact project, and coincidentally, for the upcoming Netflix Bridgerton Queen's Ball here in LA at the March-April! I found a dress at a vintage shop designed exactly as yours with the spaghetti straps and was also too small in the hips. Found different ideas in the last couple of weeks and found your tutorial today, just as I'm getting started on the project. You are a lifesaver, and I would say this was serendipitous!!

@ReenaBurt When you go to that Bridgerton Queen’s Ball, good luck and hopefully, you will be chosen the queen’s diamond.

It also looks Edwardian, as well. Rose could have worn this in Titanic with other accessories. And, it could have been worn in the late 60s/early 70s. Fashion really cycles.

Wow. It's *wild* how simply adding puff sleeves and accessorizing right turned this from a 2000's prom dress to the perfect Bridgerton-take-on-Regency gown! This blew my mind. I think it helps that you found a fantastic, perfectly embellished prom dress!

Thanks for posting something that a beginner can actually do! I will be using this!

very easy to follow,well done IAM REMODELLING MY SUNERESS THAT HAS SPAGHETTI STRAPS.

This was a great video. Thank you. The only little quibble that I have is that you kept pronouncing the word “empire” as “umpire”. I had to stop the video to see what was going on the first time I heard it! LOL!

Lol yea I guess i do pronounce it that way 😂 I didn’t even notice till you pointed it out. I’ve lived in a lot of different places so maybe it’s just a wierd amalgamation of accents 😂

Wow! You just looked like a character from Bridgerton, Pride and Prejudice etc! The dress looked very nice on you!👏👏👏

Very imaginative and impressive. Well done! You nailed it!

I'm so happy impressed with your dressmaking hacks! Your gown is gorgeous! One note: Your pronunciation of 'empire' waist is off a bit. It sounds like you are saying 'umpire'. If you are trying to pronounce it in French, it sounds like 'AHM peer' with the first syllable slightly heavier. Otherwise it's acceptable to pronounce it like Empire State Building. I am a costumer and am not as good at hack costuming as I'd like...glad I found your channel!

I think it turned out great. And it looks awesome on you, almost like you just stepped out of a time machine from the 1800s! Excellent soundtrack choice, by the way. Also, I'm curious--when you go out on location, like to the park, do folks wonder what you're up to, or stop and chat with you?

this is really creative! probably a stupid question, but how did you first start sewing, and how skilled would one need to be to dk this? I’ve never sewed in my life before with a machine and the last time I hand sewed was when I was a kid. now I am going to the Bridgerton ball and would love to dress up to the theme but don’t want to buy a costume because they’re all too expensive for one time wear or affordable but terrible quality and fit. if you have any tips, that would be much appreciated!

Sanditon all the way. But then Jane Austen is my favorite author. Bridgerton was good but not on the same level and the costumes were not very accurate to the period or even all consistent - all kinds of different eras. But visually fun.

@yevgenymashenberg2369 you could get your point across without being rude. I agree with you I don’t like polyester either but we can’t ignore the fact that there is a huge gatekeeping problem in costuming. Not mention tons of wasted polyester we could save from landfills. I try to save these fabrics from landfills and make something of them. A lot of people can’t afford silks, they should be able to enjoy costuming too without being shamed
