Making Petticoats for Historically Inspired Alice in Wonderland Cosplay |Sewing Victorian Petticoats

- Petticoats are so so important for achieving that Historically Accurate™ silhouette so this time we're making two! I could probably get away with just making one really big fluffy petticoat if Alice's dress didn't have a high-low hem, but it is so I've made one fluffy petticoat for volume and deception and one for extending the floof all the way to the low part of the hem. This is part seven (!) of my series making Hannah Alexander's Alice in Wonderland design and my research and inspiration are drawn very heavily from mid-Victorian fashion, specifically the 1860s, since that's when Alice in Wonderland was written and what seems to most match Hannah's drawing.

The under structures on their own look like they would be a great costume or cosplay for something. I really like the color scheme
Ah thank you! I’m glad all the colors worked out, I tried to pull colors from the reference image!
Welcome to the black parade has a fantastic dress thats hoop, sheer petti, second hoop on top that i think would be fantastic to cosplay
Every time I see folks make these elaborate historical costumes I get a little bit closer to putting one on my "Maybe someday list". I do have a lot of skills to learn, and more practical things to make, before I get to that point but it is fun to day dream
You should definitely try it out, it’s a lot of fun! And undergarments are such a good way to learn and practice skills, I think it counts as practical! 😊
That technique for keeping the hem on the straight grain is life changing
i'm glad you found it helpful!!
Can I mention how much I love the color palette you have going on?!? Especially on the second petticoat! The swooshy jellyfish princess look is awesome and I’m really enjoying it all come together! I’m all buckled in for the long haul lol!
Thank you!! I was honestly worried the light blue wouldn’t look right with the navy and lavender but it worked out so much better than I thought haha 😊 thank you for watching all the videos and always commenting! It’s nice to see your icon pop up! 🥰
Honestly, your work montages are amazing! Somewhere between Bernadette Banner and peaceful cuisine. It’s so relaxing to watch those sections, especially when you keep the “main work” noises audible even with the music 😊
aw thank you so much! idk what peaceful cuisine is but i'll look them up!
You are so knowledgeable! It's so wonderful to get your tips along the way as you work on projects. Also, that dark green mushroom sweater is so cute!
Thank you I’m so glad I can be helpful!! And my mushroom sweater is from carmico, they make super cute clothes!
I've always been put off doing gathering or pleating because I don't know how much extra fabric I'd need for it. You're the first person I've seen who actually said what ratio I need so thank you
you're welcome! i used to just guess at it, when one of my mentors told me gathering is usually 1.5 or 2x the amount it made it so much easier 😅
Slowly working my way through the playlist. Absolutely love the swooshy jellyfish. :}
Haha thank you! Im glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊
The gathered strip is called a puffing strip. It is a decorative strip used, Edwardian clothes, along with tucks and various types of lace.
cool thank you for sharing!
Now I want to be a jellyfish. Goals. My only roommate is my dog, Faraday, who would like to think he's a hooman and is very vocal. But his conversation is 95% sassy feedback in disagreement from me telling him to do something or being mad at me for having to work (with accompanying Elvis lip action which is kind of hilarious) :D
Omg that’s so cute I love sassy chatty pets! Baby bat also gets so upset when I have to do work and she just howls at the stairs haha
@@moth.faerie even if they're just sleeping, must have undivided attention 😂
Honestly that top petti I would wear as a skirt 😍😍😍
it would make a really cute skirt!
@@moth.faerie now I’ll be doing it!
I have no idea how you don't have more subscribers. Your cinematography is on point and your sewing is amazing!
ah thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
The attention to detail you add to items no one but you will see (besides your followers of course) is stunning. I continue to be in awe of your talent. Seriously. I have unbelievable respect for the amount of research, thought and effort you put into all that you do. Thoroughly enjoying binge watching this project!
aw thank you, I'm so glad you're having fun watching all of it! I'm enjoying going through all of your comments 😊💕
Ditto!
Oooh. I like how you organize things with a label safety pinned to the fabric pile. Nice trick.
I've been learning the in's and out's of the various vintage presser feet. They got one, the tuckmaster, that's pretty nifty to use. You set the first marker for how big the tuck is. Then you set the second marker for where the foot will tap a fold-line for the next tuck. Not perfect, but it works pretty well.
The petticoats are lovely. The costume is really coming together. Well done.

Labeling the piles is super helpful with petticoats and tutus haha otherwise it’s so easy to lose track! That presser foot sounds so useful!! I’m so bad at measuring tucks, every time I think I’ve gotten it right i either end up with not quite enough fabric or they’re the wrong spacing or something haha it’s just always a mess!
And thank you! I always appreciate your comments!
@@moth.faerie I feel like there's a Masters dissertation in tracing the development of presser feet reflecting the changing trends in fashion in the 20th century. But that's probably just me.
Yeah. tuck math. My inclination is to make up a panel of tucks. and then cut the pattern. But they didn't teach us fractions in primary school... ha.
You tucks came out lovely.
@@stevezytveld6585 honestly I would find that to be so interesting! the tuck panel is always what I want to do but then I realize I only have just enough fabric to accomplish what I want so no extra to play with.. haha oh well! thank you!
@@moth.faerie Yeah. That seems to be the eternal question of sewing - is there enough fabric...?
Those precious little meow-squeaks
I absolutely adore the top petticoat...those pintucks are just precious
Thank you! I’m very happy with it haha it turned out so cute like a cupcake!
@@moth.faerie cupcakes and jellyfish for the style win!
The petticoats look amazing, it's coming along so well! I'm so grateful for all the information and tips. I had to watch through a couple times since I was multitasking when I watched, kept missing that first skirt, since I was watching while doing my own sewing project. Thank you so much for sharing, and good luck with the next steps! Hope everything goes smooth.
Oh no! I totally feel that tho, I feel like I'll watch the same part of a video 5 times and then keep missing the part that I'm meaning to see 😅 What are you working on?? And thank you for all the sweet comments as always!
@@moth.faerie Right? So many rewatches, but honestly it's nice to watch videos I like over and over again. I was working on a skirt. I just finished it recently. It's now probably one of my favorite items in my wardrobe. It's this nice soft linen fabric that I cut out of an old bedsheet. It has wooden buttons down the front and has enough fabric that it fluffs up when I twirl and is just a couple inches higher than my ankles. Very cottage core.
It's been more than one and half a year since I started looking for people who make vintage dresses... You'll never know how happy I am to find your channel and honestly I feel jealous cause there were many more people who found you channel but i guess yt holds a grudge against me to keep your channel away from me...
All i can do is to watch as many videos as possible to make up for the lost time
Hope you have a great day
2:37 I'm early in the video, so I don't know if this is the real issue or not, but I think it would be good if you had button & loop closures to attach the petticoat to the back of the skirt so that the petticoat doesn't move to the point where it stick out.
Oh that’s a really good idea I’ll have to do that! I meant more that it’ll have to show bc it’s a high low skirt so you’ll kind of be able to see under the skirt if that makes sense? But I was having issues with it shifting around anyways so still very helpful advice, thank you!
These turned out so pretty 🥰
thank you!
Love the floof! It looks amazing. :)
Thank you!
You're so talented.
Haha thank you! And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos, I’m happy you found me!
Your video is such a lovely distraction while my Easter cakes are baking. The color scheme is just😍 So pretty! And there's nothing wrong with being a jellyfish princess, it's a whole mood. Your feline quality control supervisor is adorable (and so is your mushrooms cardigan. So cute!). Good luck with the next step!
Thank you!! And happy baking! My second favorite activity next to sewing haha I love making bread and cupcakes!
Where did you get the green mushroom sweater??
Also lovely petticoats
the sweater is from carmico!
the hoop skirt and petticoats are glorious!! really beautiful work. and when it comes to feeling like a pretty poofy princess, i feel ya--i've had a hoop skirt hiding stashed away in the back of my closet for years...i finally broke it out to try it on...and boy is it fun to wear! easier to manage than the equally poofy tulle-only crinoline, i think.
Thank you! Yea definitely better to wear than crinoline much less itchy
1860s is my jam! Subscribed
Yay glad to have you here! 😊
Love your video! It was fun to watch!
I have done costuming for dance teams - and YES! the ripping of the fabric for large pieces - yay!
Love your kittie cat too! (looks like my son's cat!)
May I ask what Juki machine you are using?
I am considering investing in one!
Thank you for posting!
thank you! omg ripping fabric is so satisfying haha. i use a ddl8700, it's my favorite industrial machine I've used, soooo much quieter and less fussy than any other brand I've had to work on
Thank you for your reply! ❤️
I will research the Juki!
Omfg the cutest kitty!!
She’s the best cat I love her so much
I wanna know more about your fabric stash! Do you buy entire rolls/bolts so that you have enough or do you estimate how much you’ll need before/after drafting patterns?
Pretty, Poofy, Jellyfish Princess!
You kept saying you felt like a jellyfish, and it made me want to ask if you've seen "Princess Jellyfish" (aka Kuragehime). Super cute anime if you haven't, definitely recommend.
YESSS i love kuragehim!!! kuranosuke is definitely a dream cosplay someday!
@@moth.faerie His entire wardrobe is a must-have. TTvTT///
Your underpinnings are a Japanese anime character. You need lavender hair, boots and a sword.
Omg yes I will have to commission someone to make cute art of this idea
