I copied this gown from the Met Museum | Making a 1790s Open Robe

- I'm recreating another dress from a museum collection, or at least taking inspiration from it. I found a beautiful late 18th century/early Regency-era open robe in the Met Museum collection and fell in love with the back design: dozens of angled pleats and fabric-covered buttons. So when I got my hands on some silk stripe fabric for a great deal I knew I wanted to make my own version.

I may not always have time to respond to all comments but know that I do read and appreciate them!
I think a silk covered hat to match the robe would be a fantastic use of the scraps
I'm going to join in on the early consensus and agree to use the meter of leftover fabric for some sort of bonnet/turban. That is some stunning fabric; congratulations on the price (that is so ah-maze-ing).
The robe is beautiful. The button details, the soutache, the fit - exceptional work. Well done.

I vote turban.
Thanks, yes, bonnet seems to be a common theme
I completely understand why you fell in love with the back of this dress. Yours turned out so beautifully in that lovely yellow silk.
The dress is beautiful and the pleats in the back with the buttons and cords are perfection! Chef's kiss!
The scraps would make a great turban!
yes a bonnet with the scraps of this if there's enough! you have some fabulous new reticules and while a muff might be cute I feel like you'd get less use out of one than you would of an adorably ridiculous bonnet!
Yeah I was thinking a muff just because I don’t have much winter costume pieces at all. I could always use more bonnets!
This turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Those pleats are glorious, and I love how you styled the dress with the scarf! What to do with the scraps... why not something different, like a matching bonnet (even though the turban looks amazing)?
Thanks! I might need to research some late 1790s hat styles now
I use a large-ish thread spool to push on the covered button "anvil". It's easier to bear down on a bigger thing than on a little one.
That’s brilliant thanks for the tip
I would either make some kind of head wrap or put the silk away incase you want to rework/alter the gown later. Because I note you adjust things later 😉
Yes, inevitability I’ll probably need to redo it 😂
You did an amazing job planning, fitting and constructing this museum reproduction! The 1790s are my favorite historic fashion style. I just finished a 1795 dress using the LM Chemise gown pattern. Very easy to alter and construct. I added this video to my favorite Regency library for easy future reference. Thanks!
1790s fashion is so interesting! Love the dress and the way you accessorized it!
Happy sawing too you too! I am so glad that I have found your channel. 🎉
Ooh, you keep making the extants I love! Very nice to see what that particular sleeve shape comes out as in pattern form, though only briefly.
I make fabric-covered buttons without the kit, with the "cut a circle and gather it around a button" method. Based on this, I think I'm glad I never bothered buying a kit. :D
Beautiful! Use leftovers for a silk covered bonnet
That's gorgeous. The colours suit you. Thinking for what's left of the silk a bonnet and reticule. Or even a patchwork something with other left overs from other projects.
you're way too young to play lady russell in persuasion, but this ensemble is exactly what i've always pictured her wearing.
I love these kind of dress diary videos.
Great project. You look like the real deal. Not that I was alive in the 1790s...
Fabulous dress! I would say some gloves or half gloves and a bonnet with the scraps.
This turned out lovely! The buttons and cord are *chef's kiss* What about making a Victorian style vest out of the leftover silk? Could be fun to play with the stripes on the bias!
So pretty and summer-y.💛
It loo!ks beautiful! I'm not real fond of making covered buttons either!
Thanks, I like the look of them but they’ve been a hassle for me to make
Hi, a bonnet and retacual (bag)would be cute, the dress looks beautiful 😍.
It came out beautifully!!! Excellent work!!!
I love the back details so much! Could you maybe use the scraps to cover a parasol? A hat would be another accessory, although I know you have made several already.
A beautiful, and inspiring, project!
Loved the pleating detail on the back.
Thank you!
I love it your So creative God bless people like you
Wow - it came out really well! I think you need a hat that goes more with the dress - maybe use some of the leftovers as trim for one? Anyway, congrats!
Thanks I’ll consider it!
It's so gorgeous!! The pleating in the back and the buttons are just perfection.
Gorgeous ensemble! I love those early 1800s styles. Georgette Heyer is one if my very favorite authors,, an she sets her novels in the late Georgian and Regency periods. I can just see your ensemble in one of her books!
Thank you! I’ll have to check out that writer
I so appreciate your videos, especially all the resources you share. So helpful and inspiring!
Such a beautiful gown! It was a joy to watch, thanks for the video :)
Thanks for sharing.
The dress is lovely and the pleats are amazing!

The pleating and buttons on the back are such pretty details! And love the rustle of the silk! Just gorgeous!
Thank you ❤️
So stunning! You really did an amazing job!
beautiful! you did an amazing job. I have plans (and some silk stashed) to make a mid-90s open robe!
Great job Dixie
Looks fab!
Gorgeous!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is so gorgeous!!!
I love how it looks on you! So classy
Thanks ❤️
I would make a hat with the leftovers.
Would the remnants be enough for a bonnet? Xx
I would, depending on the size of it
Late in joining this discussion... I would make a vest out of it and do some simple machine embroidery.
i think you should make your partner a matching vest to go with your dress
I’ve thought about making him a costume, but then I think “no, I want to wear it!” since I put so much effort into these projects. 😂 Maybe someday I’ll make a regency menswear look?
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!
Reticule and/or silk hat
Could you maybe use the silk to make a matching fan??
I’m not into costumes etc though I thoroughly enjoyed watching your thought/work process. Your work is meticulous I love the back detail. What do you do with these costumes, do you actually wear them out?
I would use the scrap fabric to make pillows for that lovely red settee. Line the silk so its more durable and depending on amount you only need to make face fronts. It's a beautiful fabric and the dress was gorgeous.
That’s a unique idea, thanks!
I would save all the scraps and make a quilt.
That’d be a fancy quilt!
Ikat is pronounced “EE-cot”
You need to get the Prym button maker - I have never seen that kit but it looks awful to use. I make billions of buttons with no bother…
I just looked up that tool. Looks cool thanks!
