The robe a la francaise that Madam de Pompadour wears is probably my favorite style of dress to sew and to wear, and I go into details into the techniques used to make and trim a gown such as the one in this epic portrait.

Imagine being the king's mistress, but he's really in it for your personality.
My personality could NEVER
Rotfl .....Just by that comment alone, I bet it could!!!
10/10 comment
LOL! That is such a great way to put it.
Madame du Pompadour worked REALLY hard to keep Louis XV amused. Eventually, she found other women to serve the King in bed, but he would often eat his dinner with her because he enjoyed her company. She was unusually deferential and genuinely respectful to Queen Marie (which was admirable for « une Maîtresse en Titre »). She even reminded the King to pay enough attention to his Queen so that she would not feel slighted. Louis had married Marie in 1715, when he was 15 and she was about 21. Queen Marie had borne King Louis ten children in 12 years, and was apparently relieved to be able to stop bearing children.
@@Tina06019 GOOD GOD POOR DUDE
A friend of mine has a similar project she's obsessed with. She made a version of it as like the second dress she ever made. It was *TERRIBLE* wrong fabrics, awful technique, falling apart basivally within five minutes of putting it on because it was just so out of her ability at the time but it was so much fun to do. Five years later she did it again. Better fabrics, better technique, really good attempt. Something to be proud of, looked great in photos, but once you got close you noticed the cheats. A few years later she made it for the third time and it was even better. She used quarantine as the perfect excuse to make version number 4. This time she's doing it with historical methods. The pictures she's sent us of the detailing are gorgeous. This project has become almost a marker of her development as a dressmaker. She loves her first three versions just as much as she will love this version. So don't be afraid of making something just because you think you'll get it wrong. That just means you get to go back and have all the fun of doing it again.
This dress is actually my goal dress that I have been terrified to even begin to try because there's just so much to it but you are totally giving me courage to try
@@lilihermandez557 Make it! Make a crap one! Make a muslin so you can figure it out first, or go to your thrift store and get curtain fabric and bedsheets and make it out of that for like $11. You'll make so many mistakes, but once they're made you'll have a pretty good idea of how not to make them again. And then, when you have another go at the dress in a few months or a year or so, you won't be afraid of it. You did it before, with worse materials and a lot less knowledge, you're gonna kick it's ass now. And believe me, you already know so much more than you realise you do. Make the dress. You deserve it.
It's not about finding the light at the end of the tunnel. It's about finding the light throughout the whole journey. ❤
@ArtemisScribe is there somewhere where we can see her project and the dresses? It really got me curious to see pictures of her progress.
@@priscilanosoma Not anymore sadly, she used to have a blog, but for personal reasons she doesn't now.
Everyone just needs to calm down with the French corrections, she gets it!
Thank you.
To be fair, at 2:40 in the video she literally asked her French speaking viewers to correct her in the comments. That said, people need to be more polite and gracious with their corrections.
Yeah, I think generally one should check through the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned the matter then leave it at that.
FUCK the french language.
@@sarahbettany7546 agree!! No need to pile on.
"She was dressed as Diana the Huntress. He was dressed as a Shrubbery." This made me laugh out loud. So Monty Python. I love it. Also this dress is A DREAM. Bravo!
It was the ball of the clipped yew trees. Louis and five of the soldiers who acted as guards in Versailles (chosen so they were all the same height) attended as a set of topiaries. The ruse worked, and at least one lady who thought she was in with a chance of becoming the next 'maitresse en titre' spent the evening chatting up the wrong bush! Of course the king was occupied flirting with Madame de Pompadour.
@@patrickgallagher3513 and we think furries are weird...
@@jennyknepper They are :-)
Christine: will spend literally days and months painstakingly making detailed silk gowns.
Also Christine: it would take me like an hour to make this petticoat but god no.
#relatable though
"Next time I go to Versailles wearing this" The very concept gets me verklept.
I have just had such a fun time sitting down with you over lunch and hearing your journey through this project! (Pandemic perfect! I feel like I actually visited with you.) The details you gave will help so many people trying this style - note to self has been made about how long to leave for all the trim! Your work is always so lovely, and I love the little happy dance at the end!
Thank you so much Cathy!
Could you imagine if after all of this the majority of people emerged dressing or wanting to dress in historical ways and seeking out seamstresses to have their clothes made or to be taught to make their own? (I had been thinking this a few minutes before I saw your comment)
Harriet Tubman is my favorite historical female hero! What she accomplished to free slaves
was nothing short of miraculous! She did 13 missions and freed 70 slaves. She put her life
on the line so that others could be set free from bondage. She served as a scout and spy
for the Union Army. She was also an activist in Women's Suffrage! Without women like her,
we women of today would not have the freedoms we currently, yet so absent-mindedly, enjoy!!!!
She was nobody's mistress, however, she married and bore a daughter. Sewstine I do love your
skill in making these absolutely beautiful garments. The only thing I'm good at sewing is quilts.
*madame de pompadour crying and clapping in heaven* beautiful
Thank you so much Olivia!
If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven?
If no, here is what the bible says,
(1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Q1. Do you know what Sin is?
Sin is anything bad that we have done.
Q2. Have you sinned before?
Yes or No?
(2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Because they have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell.
What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God?
Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus?
(3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN.
Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us?
A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus.
(4) Romans 5:9 KJV [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
According to the bible, the only way for us to reconcile with God is through Christ Jesus’s blood, and not through any works that we do or merits we accumulate, such as water baptism, attending church, or any good thing that we do. The following verses clearly support this.
(5) Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner.
(7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
If you truly do believe in everything you have heard in the gospel, ,I strongly suggest you to make a proclamation to GOD! You can say it to God in less than 15 seconds !Repeat after this simple prayer, to make sure you truly get saved. Remember repeating this prayer doesn't save you, it's you telling God you BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Ok, here is the prayer :
‘Dear GOD,
I know I am a sinner, as I repent, I put my faith, that Jesus is GOD, and that he died, buried and resurrected, so that his blood, can wash away my Sins. I put my faith in that alone to save me, not my good works. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray. Amen!
Congratulations ! Now you are a child of God. Download /Buy a KJV bible (I highly suggest getting a hard copy bible , as one day, it will be illegal to buy, own or even have an online version of the bible) and search for youtube channels like Truthunedited, REAL Bible Believers , The Bible Project, AoC Network, Robert Clancy, Spencer Smith to help you grow , study dispensationalism to understand the bible ( How do we reconcile the verses in the New Testament that tell us that we need works to show our faith, and another that tells us that nothing that can take our salvation away? That's why we need to study biblical dispensationalism to rightly divide the word of God.( study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timithy 2:15) (I recommend the dispensationalism video from Genesis to Revelations by Dr. Gene Kim, czcams.com/video/GI4CteEFxOk/video.html) , join a bible believing church. God bless you brother/ sister ☺. See you in heaven one day!
etiquette was so extreme in Versailles that there were rules regarding positions of pins in your lappets according to your rank.
Can you elaborate or provide a source for this info? I'm curious to learn more about it!
@@d00mpirate the memoirs of madame campan ;)
@@d00mpirate the incident was one involving the madame de noailles, which she became desperate when mme noailles noticed one of the attendants to the Queen was wearing her pins going up, which I think was above her station (please don't quote, read the original, I've read many memories and might remember it incorrectly)
@@d00mpirate "I perceived the eyes of Madame de Noailles fixed on mine. She made a sign with her head, and then raised her eyebrows to the top of her forehead, lowered them, raised them again, then began to make little signs with her hand. From all this pantomime, I could easily perceive that something was not as it should be; and as I looked about on all sides to find out what it was, the agitation of the Countess kept increasing. The Queen, who perceived all this, looked at me with a smile; I found means to approach her Majesty, who said to me in a whisper, ‘Let down your lappets, or the Countess will expire.’ All this bustle arose from two unlucky pins which fastened up my lappets, whilst the etiquette of costume said ‘Lappets hanging down.’” Memoirs of Madame Campan
@@d00mpirate there's a book by Daria Galateria called 'Etiquette at the court of Versailles'. But there's no translation in English I think. She mostly talks about the previous monarchs' courts.
You are my big inspiration for 'you don't have to get it right the first time' and 'you will never feel ready, just do it' because those are so important and it makes me happy that you're so honest about that. I can't imagine anyone laughing at you or making fun of you for making such amazing dresses and attempts.
Thank you Jeanne! I really appreciate the kinddness today.
As a French viewer, your french is good ! I understand you without the name wrote down. You juste pronouncing Jeanne in a very English way but it's fine ;) Antoinette and Poisson are well pronounced!
PS : we are not mad all the time!
I’m not French but the way she pronounces “française” made me die a bit inside not gonna lie. However, it’s still not ok to make fun of her and a simple correction would’ve been so much better
robe a la française was pretty f*ed up though
Stomacher. Stomach. Hard c. No “ch” please.
Gosh that dress is gorgeous, and please don't give a damn about the not nice comments about your french, I'm French and no one give a damn about prononciation, we ourselves are so trash at speaking english that we are the last going to give lessons on that 😂
You make incredible dresses, interesting videos, and you are so nice, that's all that matter
French viewer here, not mad at you at all! You're wonderful :)
Aww ❤️ these kinds of comments give me life. She's trying and knows she messing it up and you're so nice.
Also a French viewer and the pronunciations were more than fine!!!! Honestly, the fact that you're engaging with French culture and history in this methodical and entertaining way is FAR more important than any concern over pronunciations. I actually hadn't realised Madame de Pompadour's relationship had lasted 19 years and had been largely non-sexual for the last bit, and that was fascinating and informative. Keep sewing Sewstine, your work is EXTRAORDINARY ! (Both this and your doctoring!)
Thank you kind French viewers! It never ceases to amaze me that native speakers can be so much more compassionate about mistakes of someone genuinely trying to be respectful but still struggling than some self proclaimed experts who are non native speakers. You folks are a reminder that when we are trying to be respectful, we can actually get that consideration back in turn. Thank you for being good examples of what kindness truly is!
French speaking viewer here.. I’m definitely not mad at you pronouncing French words or names with an English accent. If you are not familiar with the language it’s impossible for you to know how to pronounce it as intended. ❤️ I once commented in a past video on pronunciation, but more as an FYI, not to make you feel bad. 😢 Accents are hard, even when you speak a language for years. Much love from Canada!
Also, if anyone (not just Christine) has ever questions about how to pronounce a word from a different language, Google Translate has a feature where you type in the word you wanna know, and then press the speaker button in the same box. A computer voice will pronounce it for you. Very helpful!! I once used it to say a little sentence in Arabic to my colleague, and she understood me, and was super happy.
@@BMoll87 Well, the voiced translation SOMETIMES is okay, sometimes though it's a hot mess. I've had a lot of French speaking customers this year (and I just haven't had the energy at home to start brushing up) and even I knew once I hit the playback that certain things were incorrect for both context and pronunciation. It took rewriting the English twice to get it to translate understandably (ingredient names and functions are difficult enough to explain to someone without a decent background in biology in English🙈). In practice now, I try to make sure my English has the correct sentence structure for French (thank you learning American Sign Language to have that well cemented in my memory) before translating and hitting the playback button.
English is a messy language and translates poorly into other languages based on sentence structure among other things, so a wide vocabulary to create alternative sentences helps, especially when asking complex questions or providing important directions.
@@KatieCottingham Mmmh.. I find that English-French translations are mostly decent. As well as English-German. (Those are the only languages I speak fluently, I cannot judge the rest) It gets messy if you try to translate from a non-english language to another non-english language..
The photo of you sitting looks like an oil painting. Fashion historians of the future will be studying this gown. Beautiful!
I maybe had a glass of wine (or two) during this and now I'm yelling at the tv about how fierce you look in this dress.
lol thank you!
I wish I had alcohol as a more "normal" explanation for my "OH DAMN GIRL!", but alas, that's just my reaction and why I don't watch any of these in public or at work on a lunch break unless I'm hiding in my car. 🤪
Every time you share a new project, I think to myself “that’s it, this one is my favorite,” and you keep getting better! You look like you walked out of a painting in this majestic dress.
Amen
I love how you adapted the dress to work better in a 21st century context while still having an accurate appearance!
Love Madame Pompadour, Ada Lovelace is another historic favourite of mine. She was apparently also a beauty and smart as (insert word forbidden by youtube).
Yes! I love her so much!!
I love how her mum drove her into maths so she wouldn’t end up like her dad, Lord Byron. (It still blows my mind that he’s her dad)
@@lateformyownbirth Yes its cool that she made a name for herself despite having a famous dad. She could have just as easily been "just that child of lord Byron thats freakishly good at math".
And considered the first computer programmer!
@@sentimentalcircuscurator WAIT ADA LOVELACE IS BYRON'S KID?!!
The way you say Robe à la Française ((like "Frankais") is so funny to me, since in French "ç" is spell like an "s" and you have to pronounce "-aise" (like -aize) as well because it indicate the feminine in french for well... French = Française!
Loved the video by the way!
Recreating a Rose Bertin Robe A La Francaise is an immensely ambitious undertaking. nobody should mock anyone who even attempts to do it.
I’m here to drive up the positive comments. Girl, you just say what you wanna say and do what you wanna do. You’re killing it.
Omg Thank you Amy! I need that today.
Hi Christine- since you are a sewing enthusiast and a medico, I was wondering if you know about Mme de Pompadour’s contemporary Madame Angélique du Coudray? She taught midwives and had the most astonishing obstetric model sewn from cloth to help her instruct her students. She is very much a hero of mine. Your dress is utterly splendid!
I didn't know aobut her! I totally added her to my list - thank you so much Magnolia!
@@Sewstine My absolute pleasure!
Thank you for the reminder! In my memory she was Madame du Corduroy. I knew it was wrong so I couldn't tell anyone about her. I am a huge fan of midwifery and La Leche League.
@@erikanichols9633Mme du Corduroy is the perfect nickname - queen of fabrics! I’m so pleased to have helped you remember her name for real! It’s lovely knowing that others know about her and value her work.
Did she study at Salerno Medical School
in N of Italy, started around 800 AD, that
taught, and STILL teach
both men and women students !? (See
websites for this and University of
Padua? that started around 1100 AD !!)
Or perhaps she studied at 1 of 1700s
Spain s universities that had women
students AND professors (only during
reign of 1 King. ??) ?
"I glued them..." Hahaha the cosplay spirit running wild 😆
In 1985, I was doing a culinary internship in Garmisch Parkenkirken (quite a few miles south from Munich). I lived in the projects of Brooklyn and never been out of NYC let alone the country.
I was 18 and was convinced by friends to take the train to Munich. I reluctantly agreed to go to a museum and was mindlessly wandering around bored. I entered a gallery and turned a corner to see the 1756 Portrait of Madame de Pompadour. It was so vibrant, so beautiful. I was memerized and almost emotional. I remained sitting on a bench in front of this portrait until my friends forced me to leave to get something to eat. I have a lithograph that I purchased at the gift store. The memory of my first glance of this painting remains fresh in my mind 36 years later. I became an avid art lover since then.
My darling, this is just beautiful!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Zack! :D Yours will be even prettier!
I got full body chills from the make-over scene - a combination of the music, how happy you look and the beautiful dress!
You and this dress are so incredibly beautiful!
Every time that you sit down and lean back in that dress it is just SO majestic
Best skill share insert I've seen in a while. Make that dream dress, girl.
Thank you Lauren! I worked hard on that insert!
It was, indeed, perhaps the best Segway ever!
This dress will never not be iconic. Such a great reproduction!
I cried at the end, seriously, for the beauty of the dress and the culmination of all that handwork.
I feel like everyone should make one of these to go grocery shopping! Regal grocery shopping! With amazing style and POCKETS!
No surprise that Madame de Pompadour is your favourite, considering all that you do!
Also, I hope Angela Clayton hears you reference her. I think she would love that.
I got chills seeing the photos paired with that music! Absolutely stunning. I'm sure Madame de Pompadour would've adored you.
Looks like a painting and not a photograph❗❗❗
Simply beautiful❗❗❗
The moment you said her name I thought of Doctor Who and my little nerd soul squealed when you said Doctor Who
I've been saying 'I just snogged Madame de Pompadour!' on and off ever since she started making this dress haha
Same 🤩
You’ve done the original dressmaker proud - fabulous work, as usual!
The Madness of King George is one of my favorite movies.
This dress is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen
The dress is stunning and your enthusiasm while wearing it is just the cutest thing ever. You're such a charismatic person and I love how you balance the sewing and the info in your videos
I literally GASPED. You are such a goddess!!!! This is incredible.
Greetings, Fellow Whovian. I always knew you had excellent taste.
I really like how you talk about your projects! It’s such a good balance between background, choices, explanations, tidbits, process and enthusiasm. Thanks for another interesting and enjoyable video!
You say this gown makes you feel happy,, bless your silk pinking heart, it has made me feel happy sharing this. Delightful :D
Your joy at the photoshoot is truly wonderful. I enjoyed the whole video very much. The striped ribbon you created is great and the whole presentation is let's just say fantastic!
Those panniers are like having two handbags underneath your clothes and I’m now imagining how useful that would be in many situations 🤔 let’s bring back panniers guys!!!!! Hahaha
I’m awestruck with your creations, as always, Christine. What a visual treat ❤️
The end result with your finished hair and makeup with the dress is beautiful.
I love seeing that enormous smile on your face! Beautiful, beautiful job.
The photo with you reclining is a bomb. You look wonderful as a 18th century lady. As someone who's not into fashion, historical dress always fascinated me.
The dress looks wonderful; like you stepped out of a painting. 😊 🎨 Thank you for talking about what you have struggled with as well as you accomplishments. It has been very motivating.
You look beautiful in this gorgeous dress! Great job recreating this famous painting, and historical dress. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous! I gotta say, I cannot believe you doubted yourself! (I mean, I totally can, because self doubt is UNIVERSAL) You are a phenomenal seamstress and so talented! It looks gorgeous, lush and accurate and thank you for the information on Madame De Pompadour! I did not know that she was so in depth! I took for granted she was a King's Girl Friday and just left it at that. I cannot wait to see your next piece!
I loved your Sleepy Hollow dress! Loved the discipline and hours you put into the work to get things right, every time again! ❤
Your program popped up on my You Tube. First time I have watched. Found your program very interesting. Your are a very talented young woman. I will have to watch your other videos. You looked amazing.
You are so natural and beautiful in these gowns, I can only believe in reincarnation, you have worn them before!
The white under sleeves do add to the dress. The dress looks incomplete without them. Beautifully done! Can I say that every time I watch these videos, I feel extremely underdressed. I was born in the wrong era.
Beautiful dress; love the color, back pleats, POCKETS underneath & lovely pictures! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
I'm sorry!!! You said she wasn't born to this world and my immediate thought was AN ALIEN??? 👽👽👽👽
SAME 😂
A woman like that, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was
Your videos are so pleasant to watch. You've hit such a great balance of being eloquent and informative without sounding stiffly rehearsed and scripted. It makes a really gentle, human viewing experience, and I imagine it's far from an easy balance to strike. Well done as well for celebrating the underappreciated history of feminine accomplishment and skill building. And of, course, a beautiful creation.
Thank you so much!
Beautifully said. I wholeheartedly agree!!!
Absolutely beautiful! I got chills and tears during the photo shoot!
This turned out absolutely stunning! That photoshoot was incredible omg. Honestly, I'm glad you picked this dress, because I think the colors are just so striking and pretty.
Christine!!!! An absolutely breathtaking gown!
I really want to see your day-to-day wardrobe. Your peterpan shirts with jumper dresses are aesthetic.
Check me out on December 8th. :) I'll be teaching how to make my dresses.
I guess madame de Pompadour would have highly appreciated your charme, taste and cleverness apart from your hard work. Chapeau! That's French for I take my hat off for you.
Just gonna say it now. To the people who are making this wonderful person too scared to create art and projects that she loves because of the mean comments that you leave, get a life.
P.S. I’ve loved every single one of your videos that I’ve watched and I admire the dedication and enthusiasm for what you do. And this dress turned out lovely in my opinion. 😊
I have to say, please have faith and confidence in yourself and your work. You're incredible and the things you produce are stunning, i really look forward to seeing more from your channel my lovely! 😊🙏
I love how happy you are about the finished dress!! 💖
is it embarrassing that for the longest time i thought madame du pompadour was just a fictional character from the doctor who episode 😭😭😭 i had never heard of her before that 😩 anyways the dress turned out absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!! i myself am too afriad to try making historical costume pieces but every time I watch your videos i am tempted a little more haha
Ok, but the back pleats are beautiful, and make so much sense.
I mean the final photos are just breathtaking 🔥
I don't know why but the reveal shots made me cry?!?! Maybe I'm hormonal? Maybe your work is just that cool? Either way, thank you for this video :)
Yeah, I teared up too
Positivity boost! Your work is stunning. Absolutely stunning. And so are you! People will jump at any chance to criticize (a lot of it unhelpful and ungenuine) but you are amazing! I hope you feel the love of those who wish you success and happiness 💕
Just beautiful!!! The sleeves and details give me liiiife! Madame Pompadour would be proud!
I haven't really known anything about madame Pompadour but she sounds like a really great woman. 19 years without sexual intimacy (-5) King Henry the 8th would never.
Wow!!! I loved seeing you at the photo shoot; you were practically glowing with happiness in that dress!
Knowing how a dress is made helps me with knowing how to draw the gown. Thank you!!
I totally understand why you like Madame de Pompadour, because I myself also admire her. She was an interesting, super amazing person. :)
Your dress is wonderful too! It is so beautiful and you look incredibly gorgeous in it!
Another gorgeous française and in my favourite colour - teal.
This dress is so stunning! And now I need to read all about Madame de Pompadour
I love your attitude! Seeing your dress, I want to start all those intimidating projects I’ve been putting off.
Спасибо огромное за подробности. Как раз искала чтобы пошить точно такое же для съёмок в Версале.
Thank you! Hope to see you at Fetes Galantes!
Oh this gown is so so gorgous. This gown is why the color teal exists. I've barely sewn in years but really. Your videos are so friendly approachable they make me feel like if I got back to it and practiced a bit I could do something this great!
This was so beautiful to watch. Ty for taking us with you. The photos at the end brought tears to my eyes.
Stunning! You do like a period portrait in those pictures ❤
Gorgeous dress! I have dress envy....I thought I would never need a Madame du Pompadour dress... I now need one! Amazed at the time management skills! Lovely videos! Thanks for sharing your journey
My great great great great grandmother lived in France during this period of time and made the Madame de Pompudaour wigs, during the French Revolution came to England Liverpool with her son who was a young soldier.
I literally cried with the photoshoot

Jeanne is pronounced more like "J ha n", Poisson had an s sound (it means fish) not a z sound (it would mean poison) 😘
Thank you! That is so helpful!
@@Sewstine Jeanne is basically "Jan" with a French "j" (for English reference, it's the same sound as the one in the middle of "measure")
Such an elegant gown! I know her status was Duchess but you look like a Queen!
Beautiful costume very impressive
Not only is the dress fantastic, you look fantastic in it.
The photo shoot at the end was incredible, love it! :)
All the french pronouncation check people in the comments... If you see one comment doing it just make a comment about how awsome her dress is
the raw nervousness mixed with excitement really comes through while you are filming your dress making and when you talk about the process. I'm so happy that you pushed yourself to do this !!!!
As a French viewer, I have to say that some French people do a fine job at butchering la langue française, so you don’t have to worry about your pronunciation. Also I love when non French speakers speak French with their own accent.
And that dress is FIERCE
Wow these photos look like paintings you did a wonderful job ❤️ congratulations!
I'm not a dressmaker at all, have done very little sewing in my life, but I do love history, so found this fascinating to watch, and also your video on the striped dress from Sleepy Hollow.... my goodness you have a lot of patience!!! You have an impressive balance of history, technical information, practical sewing and design that makes your channel really high class. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos!🥰
Thank you so much! That is high praise indeed!
you're one of the coolest people I've seen on CZcams, thanks for all your hard work!
