    The last eyelet at the top is not necessarily "too modest" if the stays underneath brought your boobs up higher. We're used to think of decolletage as the neckline going down to the boobs, but in the 18th century it's very much the boobs that go up to the neckline. If you look at 18th century portraits and take the armpit as a fixed point of reference, you notice the girls are most often sitting veeery high. Now, it's perfectly fine to leave it as is if you feel comfier this way of course! Just wanted to share what I think is a likely explanation.

      Yes, when I went to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, the actresses in historical costume at an evening dance demonstration were wearing dresses with their boobs all but spilling out of the top of their dresses!

    • @kenziehurlock
      @kenziehurlock Před 2 lety +7

      I'm not sure if Lucy is still wearing a bra under her stays, if she is it makes sense why this fit issue is happening. She should not be wearing a bra because the stays act as a bra, as you know.

    Laughed a lot at blaming your hammering noises on the construction, extremely sound reasoning! xD The dress turned out beautiful

    Just want to say it's so refreshing to see someone who seems *excited* about something they've made and haven't just put something together to do that awkward posing montage that a lot of CZcamsrs seem to do :)

  • @kirstenpaff8946
    @kirstenpaff8946 Před 2 lety +31

    This project turned out great.
    I would suggest making the chemise without ruffles. If you want ruffles, make them as separate pieces and hand sew them to the dress. If you use larger stitches, then you can easily remove the ruffles if you want to wash the dress or change the ruffles. It is also easier to place the ruffles the way you like them if they are attached to the dress. If the ruffles are attached to the chemise, then you run the risk of them shifting around while you wear the outfit.

    If you wear just the floral dress with a modern maxi white dress, it would look really nice in spring/summer when too much layering is not possible

  • @Bookwormscififan
    @Bookwormscififan Před 2 lety +10

    I was initially confused by the attachment of the bodice to the skirt, then realised it was an open front dress.
    I agree that the ruffles in the chemise are too much, but I feel like just lace on the sleeves would be enough.
    Additionally, the extra eyelets are probably there for a reason. Not sure what, but for a reason

    • @Loepsie
      @Loepsie  Před 2 lety +4

      The last eyelet being too high is a common criticism of this pattern, that I forgot about as I was applying them 😅 I don't think it serves any historical purpose!

    • @kyonnnapflueger1852
      @kyonnnapflueger1852 Před 2 lety +1

  • @justinelamantia6901
    @justinelamantia6901 Před 2 lety +8

    Wowowow this came out so beautifully! Idk if it would undermine any historical accuracy, but I wondered about inverting the lacing to make the bow fall at the bottom rather than the top -- this would show off your grommets & lacing details, while redirecting some visual interest to the waist....just a thought, do with this what you will. If you're looking to add details to the sleeves, I'd love to see some red ribbon accents where the sleeves flare out. Fabulous job on this dress!

    • @kenziehurlock
      @kenziehurlock Před 2 lety +3

      The lacing is actually supposed to be spiral laced anyway. The style of lacing she did is not historically accurate at all. So you're onto something here.

    • @ColleenMarble
      @ColleenMarble Před 2 lety +1

      @@kenziehurlock Not really - you see both spiral and cross lacing on the front of the outer clothing often in portraiture and on fashion plates and extant garments. Spiral lacing is better for stays, but cross lacing is often seen as a decorative element on the exterior garment. I made this pattern to be more historically accurate (ish) and I used cross lacing on the outer bodice. But I did move the bow to the bottom and used thinner ribbon.

    Everything looks amazing. The ruffles look charming on you. Of course lace is better. The linen does show off the tulip print. I’m guessing the higher grommets are for winter. Save body heat by tucking a fine shawl around your neck and making everything higher? Can’t wait to see the lace, pockets and the embellishments.

  • @CheySandra

    So lovely! I think the addition of lace will make the dress even more beautifully detailed and sophisticated/historical. I agree that the linen was a good choice too. More of a wearable day dress feel than some fancy court dress.
