I love this! Definitely want to give this style a try.

Use MILLINERY WIRE!! That's what it is for.

❤🎉❤ You got this! I am also beginning this adventure! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I saw you on Laura's Little Women blog. Oh, how I wish I had the same level of confidence that you possess in clothing construction! I'm slow when I sew. Aiming for more practice!

This might not be historically accurate but a way of improving it for modern day..... use chord to stiffen, use the oriental knot ties to attach instead of eyelets for the straps, use elastic at the waist ties. I seriously need to make this.....

So helpful 😊

By hand would be needle and thread

you are just too cool with your18 yds of fabric and sewing machine! and the brick pathway! fun, fun!

Delicious, finally, some good f*cking nuance

8:53 Ah, don't beat yourself up over it

Thanks for the video tutorial & thanks for showing Your reference source book, although I'm making the gown in 1/6 scale for 11.5" Barbie, it will help a lot. Having a tough time with finding an actual tororial for Grand panier but piecing it together from other videos & now this book will help (hopefully) too I also have a hiztorical costume with patterns for Batbie book). Take care /Rosemary

Using the tape for the cartridge pleats is genius!!! Loved this video so much 😊

I’m sewing my first Regency right now. I’ve done 1860’s and late Victorian and early Edwardian, my friends had to help me understand that this will be an easy project.

I just watched a bunch of you videos and I really like this corset most. It looks quite comfortable and I like the full bust coverage idea.

What is the name of the song thats playing in the beginning, its so nice! And youre better than me because pattern drafting my francaise is going to drive me to a mental asylum 😂

Do you realize that you end every sentence with an uplift in your voice, as though every sentence is a question? Did you know that this is extremely distracting and tiresome? I wonder if this a rich Valley Girl accent, or just an affectation? And halfway through this video, I can't listen anymore?

That is absolutely GORGEOUS !❤

Beautiful reproduction. I specially like the gathered back and zig-zag ruffling.

why not make the pattern with a duct tape form of yourself? wouldn't that make the pattern perfect?

So many people would have bought this pattern you made... Why not put it out there?

14:04 I would suggest unwinding the cord and using it much the same way you might pull two threads from your embroidery thread to embroider with.

I really like it. I don't want to wear a corset and this seems like a good skip it yet not option. I don't think anyone sells them though.

I made the Reticule. Technically I made 2 of them. So fun! Yes I own a sewing machine, but hadn't used it in years. I also used a regular old tape measure to figure it out and it STILL worked. The first one took me like 3 hours because I was figuring it all out and kept stitching over the two inch gap and relearning to use my sewing machine. BUT the second one took me about an hour. So great for beginners. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for this video and all the suggestions. In the past I have made 14th-15th c. garb but I’m now (May 2024) getting into Empire/Regency clothing. Having already looked for all those patterns you recommend and finding that the vast majority of them are either only sold as PDF (I much prefer paper patterns) or no longer available, I had to resort to patterns by ‘the big 4’ and make the best of it, modifying and adding adornments as shown in period illustrations.

Thank you for the suggestions for additional resources. It is definitely appreciated 😊

I love your style and personality. Warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing your talents.

American designer Norman Bel Geddes had an even more famous daughter: actress Barbara Bel Geddes, who played Miss Ellie in 'Dallas'.

Thank you! I am getting into Regency re-enacting but I have a stacked hair style. I will be ordering the wig you suggested and try to style it in different Regency hairdos.

How do you put pants on the dress form when the rod's in the way in both openings?

Great video! Thanks 🤗💖

This corset have boobie upper holders. Question what was a corset for in the first place. And i don't think the poor could aford cloths let alone a corset

Call it a Sloth 🦥 corset. My daughter really wanted one based on that name 😊 I must try this

LOVE THE STICKER! On your sewing machine. I've sewed for 60 years. It's good to see someone who can hand sew as well as machine sew.

I was just looking at this dress from patterns of fashion. I photocopied it so I can color it in! I had also been thinking about eyelet border fabric for the tiers. Great minds think alike! ✂️🤍🧡

I love the pink and red striped dress you are wearing. Did you make it? Also, is that a glittery black tiara in your hair? What fun! 🩷❤️🖤

Every downside you listed is what I’m running into right now. I got a used adjustable dress form on Facebook market place and I just hate it. It’s wobbly, the chest doesn’t match my shape.

it looks very elegant, like a 2nd class titanic passenger

I want one but would like it to hold tummy in a bit more. And I am not a sewer

Why have I never found you and this video in the past few years I've been tippy toeing around Historical Sewing??!! Fantastic video that helps tons! Many thanks to you, M'am!

I love to tell myself that shitty, rushed sewing is *also* historically accurate. I have a 1903 trumpet skirt that’s been languishing unfinished for a year or so. I’ll come back to it eventually 💛

"We dont talk about that drawer" 😂 I have many of those!

Are you able to tell me where to get the sleeve pattern you used? I think your work is excellent, and I know how hard it can be to cut your own patterns, so I’m really impressed! Great job!

Cool. Does this actually hold things up?

I just use a zipper. Would love a more adjustable version though. I'm gonna have to try this!

This is going into my 'sewing for dummies' play list, since this is the kinda thing I should get smarter about.

Thank you for teaching us how to look up these historic clothes. p.s. I love your outfit! I have saved that Mommy and me video to watch later.

Beautiful! Use leftovers for a silk covered bonnet

Not doing YT videos because you're busy living your life is a totally legit thing that nobody will blame you for 🧡 Question on that 18th c petticoat, because I need to make one of these soon--How long is your ruffle? And what ratio is the width to the circumference of the petticoat?

Please does anyone have tje andrea pdf please
