    Hello, lovely crowns! I for sure will take inspiration from it! I will try with the lights, because you also have them with small batteries, did you not know that? Much more comfortable and easier to hide! So maybe next time you can use those as well!

    Thank you for posting this video! My teenage daughter is going to camp tomorrow and they will be having a renaissance party one night and were encouraged to bring appropriate clothes. *Gulp* It isn't like you can just run out to the store and get a dress in renaissance style! Your video helped us make a dress she loves this afternoon and she is very excited about getting to wear it. It took us about 2 hours and we decided not to use the gore or the string on the sleeves because we were short on time. Your pencil drawings were really helpful, as were your description showing the measurements. We also liked your feline supervisor. Thank you again!

    Very informative and accurate information, but PLEASE pronounce Dirndl correctly. It is pronounced Deern dl, not Drn dl. I love your accent and was surprised that you mispronounced Dirndl the American way. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed this video, despite that pronunciation hiccup!

      TBH, I kind of regret the fabric of choice, as it's not the most waterproof. If you can afford it I would recommend wool, medium or heavy weight. That would would last a while in the rain before soak ing through 😊

    And to think, it was four months WITH the machine doing the embroidery. Imagine how long this kind of heavily-embroidered pattern USED to take, when it had to be done by hand! Loved the project, so creative and well-done! And I especially appreciate the parts that didn't come out exactly as first envisioned (like the lining trouble) because that's just so relatable.

If I'd had one, I'd have worn it with jeans, boots, and a linen shirt! Beautiful clothes don't have to only be for the stage or cosplay! You've reminded us of that.
