- Hello I’m Sophie. Welcome to the beginning of my sewing journey, come along with me through all the mistakes and seam ripping! And hopefully feel some solidarity that there are others bumbling their way through this hobby.

This video is the second of a series construction my favorite gown from Ever After (1998). This movie has been a favorite of mine since childhood. In this video I will be creating the second layer of the dress, which is an Italian Renaissance gamurra or underdress. Most of my research came from Maestra Suzzane De La Ferte essay “Patterning Italian Renaissance Gowns”. This document is extremely helpful if you are looking to sew your own Renaissance gown, the link is below.
What I want to do with the project is create a gown that replicates this costume as much as possible, while trying to stay with a more historically accurate approach. But of course there really is no such thing as “Historical Accuracy”, especially for this period, as much of the fashion history is conjecture without extant garments. And you know I’m machine sewing parts of this, and not using period appropriate techniques.
Disclaimer I am very much an amateur seamstress and make many mistakes.

😍😭 this is my favourite dress from the movie! I just rewatched it on Saturday and fell in love with the costumes all over again. It's looking absolutely beautiful!!
this is one of my grandmas favorite movies. she always says, "Just tell him!" 🤣but yeah the costuming was so good. I really like that silver-blue dress with the teardrop pearl headpiece😍
Thank you for your talented video, it's amazing and it's looking beautiful.
Next time you try gathering something like the ruffle on the bodice you're working on in this video I would recommend doing the rolled hem first and then putting 4 or 5 rows of gathering stitches along the length of the strip you are using. By pulling all of the gathering stitches together you can ruffle the fabric before pinning it on so you don't have to use so many pins and you don't have to worry about melting said pins while steaming them into place. Hope this helps.
There are also medieval support shifts that lace up tightly down the sides to support the bust, and they are usually sleeveless
OMG! I am so glad that someone else is also curious about 1490's gowns. I am currently in love with Lucrezia's dresses and bodice pieces for The Borgias. I think I will try this bodice idea in my own endeavors.
Nice!
I’m at work! I can’t watch it yet. I am soooooo happy to see someone do this dress. “Ever after “ is one of my fav movies. Cinderella as a bad ass B who can save her own self. Love!!!!!
I know this is an older video, and you've likely come across resources, since. However, the way to get around boning is a strategically layered interlining piece of heavy linen with vertical rows of small basting stitches locking everything in place. I know it doesn't sound like it ought to be, but I've seen it myself, and the resulting bodice looks and handles as if lightly boned.
Viewing your ironing over plastic beaded pins, this is why I keep regular pins in my cushion. Highly recommend keeping plain pins available. Great video, I LOVE Ever After! The b EST Drew Barrymore movie ever!
I am so glad you are making this dress! I plan on making a similar one for the Ren Faire for next year and watching this process is so so helpful!!
Looks great! 💛
Loved this series.

I love how you just go for it with your rotary cutter! I also cannot work out why you have less than a thousands subscribers at this point - you deserve to have so many more!
This turned out so good! I keep rewatching different clips to see how you did it - i'm obsesseddddddd
Yaaay, its done! Happy 1000! 🤗💖 That fills my Hufflepuff heart with joy. 😊
Yay, that's such a great solution! I may have to do something similar when I get around to making one like it
Thanks to you.. I watched this movie with my girls!!
I love this! I made something similar but with cording to structure my renaissance bodice.
