    😻😻😻 beautiful. I love the striped fabric, perfect shades of deep brown ish gold and I love how the chevron pattern turned out 😻❤. I have both of those patterns but I haven’t tried them yet. I have to go through my fabric now. You made it look so easy ❤

    So thrilled I found this video! The Aesthetic Movement is my favourite slice of Victorian/Edwardian and so few people delve into it! It really baffles me as there are so many folks doing history bounding and turn of the century clothing - and this period really is the embodiment of graceful shlump! The most beautiful comfies in all the land! More! More!

    Hi, just re-watched these videos, because I am contemplating making a gown from this era for an event. Would you be willing to tell me how many yards of material this took? Thanks.

  • @DamesalaMode
    @DamesalaMode2 ай бұрын

    Hi! I can't recall exactly but I think I used about six yards. There are three panels of fabric in the skirt and I think I used about 2 yards for the bodice (and those huge sleeves)

    I love the early 1800s gowns, and the early 1900s gowns. I'm weirdly specific. 😭 My grandpa gave me a Sears Roebuck catalogue book from 1908 several years ago and I love it. The gowns are beautiful.

    That fabric is absolutely gorgeous, and your open robe came out beautifully. I even like the pleats facing forward in this case; they look right since it is open in front and not joining together. I love the 1790's!

    Really lovely. I do prefer the linen, for its drape and flow. A few years back my partner and I made Emilie Flogë and Gustav Klimt garments for an Alphonse Mucha party. He dyed and sewed Klimt’s blue smock, and I copied one of Flogë’s black and white striped gowns. Most people had absolutely no idea what we were all about, but the one person who got it, really got it.

    A white skirt dragging along the ground would gather dirt. How frequently were the petticoats and outer skirt and bodice washed? Would the clothes have been forced through a mangle, or would they have been drip-dried? I love your White Sands Dress and the Swiss waist. You show very clearly the use of hip pads and S-bend corset to end up with a curvy figure. What a clever illusion!

    OMG - The Gingham method of cartridge pleating???? Where have you BEEN all my life???? That ALONE was a lifesaver! I will be making a Victorian gown next month, I am TOTALLY going to use cartridge pleats on the skirt now, after (literally) swearing off them for years... LOL!

    The polonaise looks like it would have been a practical style for pregnancy, as it would have been more open over an "increasing" front.

    There wasn’t any sewing machines in the seventeenth century so all these gowns were made by hand which must of taken an eternity. Not to mention working by candlelight. Laundering these gowns had to be quite the task also!
