- I actually recorded this over a year ago, but forgot about it and found the footage only now! The dress is long sold now but it is nice to revisit the last minute project :-)

Your charm is timeless...
I thought you might be interested in a dress I own. I think I could make it in a day. It was made and worn by my great-grandmother, who was born in 1843 and died in January of 1883. It is a very simple summer dress, made and worn by an Iowa farmer's wife, but it is interesting particularly as it shows how a lady in modest circumstances could achieve the fashionable look. I have a photo of it, but I don't know how to post it in a comment. The dress is made of brown polished cotton with tiny white polka dots. The skirt has one flounce about ten inches wide, and is simply gathered to a band at the waist. The bodice is made like a jacket. It is obvious that it was meant to wear over a blouse or with a jabot to fill in the front. The bustle effect is achieved by the back of the jacket, which has a large gathered sort of bag attached to the tail of the jacket. I imagine it was originally worn with a short bustle frame. (When I displayed it on a dress form at a genealogical fair I simply stuffed the bustle with plastic bags.) It has no lining, little interfacing except on the revers of the jacket, and shows me how women managed to dress and be fairly comfortable in the hot, humid, Iowa summers.
I've not tried to wear the bodice without a blouse under, but in hot weather it's better for the health, I guess. And if there's matching jewellery (in which I'm in search of at the moment) the victorian bustle is also ready for a bright sunny day. Thanks for the "making of in race speed" and greetings from Gotha !
Bodices we’re not worn with blouses but with corset covers. Blouse was worn instead of a bodice in some cases, getting more popular with time
@priorattire Oh, thanks, of course ! Wrong term; I've forgot the right name.
OMG - you had an entire bustle skirt cut, interlined, serged and sewn and the bodice entirely cut out and you say calmly, "Well, now it's ... 11:00 o'clock...." 😯You did all that in AN HOUR AND A HALF?!?!! You're amazing.
Maybe I got too mesmerized by the sun moving across the floor during the time lapse.... 😁
There are two 11 o’clock in a day…
I love seeing you work and also your work room.
These make in a day are so inspirational on so many levels, for me its #goals.
love the colors in this one. made me sigh in delight!
Gorgeous as always! ❤ Also thank you so much for always having subtitles its so sadly rare and it makes such a huge difference
I absolutely love watching you work! You make it look so easy and I know it’s experience on your part! I sew but you create and what you create is magnificent!! I’m so glad I found your channel!!
I have always been a fan of the Victorian era. Very fond of the Crazy Quilts from that time I even taught myself how to make some different laces to embellish my quilts! I am in awe of you and guts you have to take on this project. I was blown away when started to try it on! 😊 I am disabled and am unable to stand on my own and if could I would salute you!! THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL MEMORY ❤ GOD BLESS YOU! Carry On... Cheryl
I finally understand why the parasols could be so small - everything else is covered! Just a little shade for your face and neck is all you need
Indeed!
❤WoW🤩 Beautiful ♥️
💎 Masterpiece ❣️
This is one of my favorite channels on CZcams, your work is so beautiful and I've learned so much about historical fashion. I have always desperately wanted an ACCURATE and not costume-y Edwardian or Victorian gown, and when I can I'll save up and commission one if you open up bespoke again!
This is absolutely beautiful, you're so talented❤
How lovely indeed! I really really like this one. One day, I will delightedly buy one of your stunning creations (and/or several books. Probably "and" there). Cheers from Canada, I hope you have a wonderful time over in Poland!
I did- it was last year!
Beautiful!
It so beautiful!
So much work, and all in a day!
I love the second bustle era! I plan to crossdress in a bustle dress. Your outfits look always awesome! 🤎🤍
Wow excellent work. Unusual combo of brown & navy. x
Have just received the books by you that I ordered last week. They are FANTASTIC! 🎉❤😊 I was completely blown away by the weight, beautiful pictures, incredible content and humour (love the Tailors Assistants, I have some too !) I do hope that you write some more books… maybe one day, eventually, I might get myself a bespoke corset or dress, but at the moment, I am broke! Thank you for shipping them so carefully and quickly.
Thank you! The newest book out in a month , 3 more in the works

I love these one day makes.....you are a very talented lady and its brilliant to watch the processes of making a garment,
The speed is incredible! 😍
Nah, the e footage was filmed on Timelapse… ;-)))
Always astounding to watch you work, Izabela! Though way beyond any skill set I can aspire to, you also generously show & share your efforts. Always, always an inspiration! Thank you!
Waouah !!! And you have to add all the pattern work and fabric research and accessories to find on top of it! Bravo!
It's so nice to see you during your sewing process !! It's very interesting !
Muito bonito!
Parabéns pelo tabalho.👏👏👏👏
Wow! It is wonderful to watch the process. Very beautiful!
I'm always amazed by people who can complete one day makes. I can barely manage to cut a whole project out in one day, forget sewing it 😆
And you not only cut it out and sewed it, but also added trims and decorations! I don't know how you do it.
Looked stunning by the way. Loved the colour combination.
I am slowly getting into historical inspired dressmaking on an amateur level, and I’m so happy to know that you do a lot of work on machines. It’s very encouraging to know that someone as talented as you doesn’t necessarily hand sow all the edges and stuff like that and still end up with beautiful pieces. I’m also very impressed you made this in a day! 🎉
There is no need- for this period machines were in generic use anyway. For earlier/ I need to consider my clientele base- not everybody can afford hand stitched garments.
loved the color palette choice
Such a lovely view there! Your skill set is so impressive-- I hope someday to be able to accomplish even half that much on a sewing project in a single day! I was interested to learn the overlock machine had been invented so early on.
Very impressive...though I'm glad you had help getting it on!
Lovely as always. Congratulations on the achievement of 1 day.
Beautifully done!!! I like the color combination,the bows were the icing on the cake!! Be safe,be well!!😊💐
I really want to have the quarter of your knowledge, you're #GOALS
I love your dress!
Given this outfit is from the 1890's, and also given that you grew up in Poland, it raises the question, What were the women of what is today Poland wearing back in the 1890's? Something similar to this, or something quite different? And if different, what were they like?
The outfit is 1886-88
And polish women, those who could afford it, followed European fashions at the time
What a lovely dress! Shelf bustles are always the best~
All that folding and pleating...I'm entranced
gorgeous
Love the outfit but I’m now obsessed with the tiny umbrella
Parasol , not umbrella. Would be useless as an umbrella!
There are days when I think the natural form style was quite pretty, but then I see a bustle dress from either side of that period and I will never understand what came over the Victorians for those brief years when the natural form was in fashion.
That music sounds a lot like the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice sound track.
Pretty nice threads for one day’s work. 😉
That is really a very nice dress Izabella !! Absolutely love it, and I am so blown away by your talent and skills to be able to make this in one day !! Total respect for that.
These are some of my favorite videos you do! Always enjoy watching them and love the gown you made
Your patience and dedication is so impressive. I really loved learning about the assembling and sizing of a gown. These videos are always so soothing.
get well soon, you sew very beautiful things, your videos are useful for many people.
This was a year ago… but thank you
Love this dress wish i had one like it .
that looks beautiful ❤🏴
Absolutely lovely pictures
Piękna suknia :) I świetnie pokazany proces jej tworzenia. Jestem na tym kanale od niedawna ale wszystkie filmy oglądam z wielkim zainteresowaniem. Pozdrawiam z Łodzi :)
Your work is devine, how I aspire to be like you 😍
🎉Lovely!
I wish I had your talent..!
Amazing!
bravo !
Lovely!
I am in awe
I really enjoyed the process
Wundervoll, tolle Frau und bildhübsch , dazu eine geniale , talentierte Schneiderin . Jedes Kostüm oder Kleid ist ein Unikat.
Beautiful
I keep thinking that I've had a nursery rhymes book where Mother Goose is dressed like this.
I love your clothing! Historically correct. No concessions to modern taste! ❤ I love how you love the 1840s! 👍🏻
1840s is my least favourite of the Victorian decades….
Amazing
Lovely You are amazing.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹
Amazing❤😊
Izabela,you look beautiful! Where do you get your parasols? Thanks
Usually from the farthingale hats!
Wonderful! What city are you in?
As you can see from my workshop I do t live in a city at all. I am Exmoor based
@@priorattire wow! It's beautiful there!
And for the photoshoot, she said it was Warsaw, Poland
@@myriadd6272 thanks, I thought it looked like Eastern Europe.
Can I find your books at Book A Million or some place else? please let me know and thankyou for your time
They are available only in my online shop- at www.priorattire.co.uk
Lovely dress. I love the fabric combination - and the bows! Had you hurt your right knee? I thought I saw a brace on it while you were dressing.
A triumph!
Have you seen the show, The Gilded age? Takes place in the 1800's NY.
For people who study the history of costume in detail, "1800s" is usually perceived as "1800-1810" 😁
Hehe, it was also half 9am here when you said half 9 I'm the video haha
I was wondering if would make a recreation of the Worth circa 1872 Green Gown? It can go from afternoon to evening?
Yk I’m too lazy sometimes and I just use a pillow as a bustle lol but it’s not practical it just gives the shape
Same I do with panniers stitch it with a rope or something guys and pls do tell lol 💀
With pillows on both sides of my legs
is your new workshop in your attic or your garage? The seamstress who made my bridesmaid dress works out her garage.
No, stand alone building
I have a question that isn't necessarily relevant to this video.
Can a smaller Victorian bum pad be worn without a corset or a stay, whether it was done historically or not?
I assume it can, but I wonder if you know of any possible problems.
You could go without a pad but you would it be without a corset
@@priorattire
Thank you for responding, unfortunately I don't understand your answer.
Is it safe to wear a bum pad without a corset?
@@josephnebeker7976 It can be safe, but not wearing a corset was indecent.
@@Olga_OvechkinaI believe she ment for other outfits, so not for period type clothing, that's why she means without a corset
@@josephnebeker7976of course you can wear them without a corset, why would you assume that it would be "unsafe"? It has nothing to do with saftey to wear a corset. And yes, there are much smaller bump pads, you don't have to wear a cage.
Вот от кого кентавры произошли.😀
