Seems from why linen was used, we should still be wearing these. I wish I had the skills that you have for making clothes like this. I would certainly make one if I could...
I am absolutely certain you can make one as well! Just don't be hard on yourself when your first try is not perfect. It took me some time before I got the hang of it as well :)
How do I determine the size of the gussett for the sleeve?
Hi Rebecca! There is not a definitive size for the gusset, although there is something as too small or too big of a gusset when it comes to the fit. I believe my gusset here was 5 by 5 inches, purely by guessing what would work best. I had tried a mockup with a larger gusset, but I didn't like the look of it. So if you want to be sure, make a mockup with different sizes gussets to see what works best for you!
Thank you so much for this video! I will soon try to make the same Chemise as yours.
Good luck with your own chemise! :)
Thank you! This is so helpful!! And it looks great!!
Thank you!!
half Flemish or what? that accent is very familiar The garment is made very well
I'm Dutch actually! :)
I did my first pair of completely handsewn stays a few months ago, without a mockup because 1. too lazy and 2. couldn't afford to waste material and although I love it, and I'm super proud of myself for doing it and all the blood sweat and tears that went into it (literally) I'm sooo mad that I didn't do a mockup because the flaps end just above my belly button due to my freakishly long upper body lol Yours came out so incredibly beautiful! Makes me want to try it again (with a mockup this time lmao)
I totally get that you skipped the mock-up! I did this with my first stays as well, because mock-ups just take so much time and you just want to get to the real thing already... So don't feel bad for not making a mock-up! This was my third or fourth time making a pair of stays, so I had some experience with ill-fitting stays already, so I knew I had to make that mock-up. But I always say, every piece of clothing you make is worth it because of all the lessons you learn from it and the experience you gain from it. Each piece you make allows you to make a better piece next time. It is awesome to see when you look back how far you've come!
Lovely work, I’ve only gotten as far as cutting one out for a mockup. I hope mine turns out half that nice 😊
It took me a long while to make this one as well!
You made it look easy 😊
Thank you! :)
Beautifully made. ❤ Now I want to make one like that. I made one a couple years ago from a pattern and it never really fit me 😢 I guess it’s all in the measurements
Thank you! Yeah it takes some figuring out with the measurements, but making it custom made like this is really worth the effort!
Hello! My stay points are even wider than yours. It will really leave only an inch of material till the seam of the sleeve. Is that ok? Also it looks like you went more like 3 or so inches above your stays in the back. Is that what you would suggest? My stays are roughly the same height on both front an back. Thank you in advance! Your video is so darn helpful since the pattern itself doesn't really have written instructions.
Thank you for your comment, and I am so happy to read my video is helpful in figuring out how to work with the pattern! As to your first question, I think this comes down to preference. I would suggest that your stays do not touch your skin, since the shift is there to protect the stays from getting dirty. I think you did just fine on your shift, even if it is just one inch of material left, many historical pieces do not leave big seam allowances. I made the back higher knowing that the dress I will make will be high in the back as well, but I think its totally fine if it is a little lower. Comfort is also a big part in wearing historical dress, so whatever feels best in your project is good! Everyone's shift will be entirely unique anyway! :)
😍 gorgeous!!!
Thank you! 😄
Those are beautiful! ❤
They are aren't they!!
Come back! We need you to make more videos!
Thank you for your comment! I do hope to make new videos soon, comments like these do help to get back on track!
Stoll trying to figure out how to mount these on my bike.
A case of: wrong side of the internet.
How did you get the drawstring through? :O
Hi! I made two holes in the neckline seam on the front, being careful not too cut through the back of the seam (it was quite difficult). Then I bound the holes with a blanket stitch and pulled the drawstring through by using a small safety pin.
Absolutely beautiful work. Well done. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Hi! Thank you for your kind comment :)
@@mrsjrochester Not a problem. Look forward to seeing the rest of the ensemble .
Het eindresultaat is erg mooi en past je goed. Wat een werk hè? En dan ook nog een CZcams filmpje ervan maken… knap gedaan.
Dankjewel voor je lieve reactie! Het heeft me wel even tijd gekost om alles te filmen, maar het is ook leuk om het proces terug te kijken!
@@mrsjrochester bedankt voor het delen.
Great video, will be a great help in my project. Though quick question. Is there a calculation to figure out the incline on the pattern?
Hi! Thank you for watching :) I copied the incline from the pattern in the book, I think the incline is basically just based on how wide you're going to make the pockets on the lower half versus the upper half, but based on the pattern in the book there's not a big difference in width. Some patterns even leave out the incline and use a straight line at the side. Good luck on your project!
@Jane Rochester thankyou for the help. These older patterns can be a bit confusing. Thank you for making these videos following your process they will definitely be a help
@@gd3741 I struggle with the same problems as you some time, so It's great to hear my videos can be of help!
Wow this video was beautifully made, thanks so much, can’t wait to see what else you will post in the future 😊!
Thank you for your kind comment! I do hope to post new content soon! :)
This was great! I do wish you had modelled the shift with the stays you had on earlier, but maybe you will in a future video! :)
Editing to say that I now see that you do indeed already have a video like what I requested :) But I'm leaving up the comment because comments are good for the Algorithm, or something, right? :)
@@misstweetypie1 Thank you for your sweet comment! <3 Yes, I would have directed you to that video, but I am glad you found it! :)
What do you think of the "Antoinette Mule"? Would you wear it?
Hmm. They're truly gorgeous, but I'm more of a middle class girl for historical dress myself. They look so well made!
If only they still had this color then absolutely
@@Tulip_Bee Oh I didn't know it has been discontinued!
One of the easiest patterns I've used! What do you think?
Thank you for watching this video :)
