"...who identify as female". Well, I wanted to watch the video, but I also want to keep my braincells, so that's me tapping out.

Hi, is your pattern out now? September 2024.

Will you still make a tutorial for this dress?

Thank you 👍🏾 ❤

Well done! Thanks.

There’s a time and a place for “accurate historical sewing,” but in my opinion, seamstresses of the past were a clever and innovative bunch. They didn’t “follow the rules” if they had a shortcut. So when someone says “sewing isn’t accurate” because they use a serger… I think if someone from 1910 had a serger, she absolutely would have used it instead of flat felling seams by hand. Your video and process is very well done and the result is fantastic! I’ve made a walking skirt once before, and your instructions are much more clear than the ones I muddled through!

Beautiful sewing. WOW

Oh my goodness me that dress is utterly gorgeous 😍 & so much fun 😊❤

I think many people talking about this have never worked with actors. Actors and actresses complain about their clothes and shoes. I have worked all my career making costumes for theatre. I have heard more actors complain about their shoes, actors and actresses are generally very young-they have often never worn formal clothes or shoes-they are used to yoga pants and training shoes, so hard dress shoes with high heels are not something they are used to. It's the same thing with corsets-if they are not even used to wearing a bra, a corset is not going to feel comfortable. Also I would point out costumes generally are the focus for actors and actresses anxiety about their performance- you can't really say I'm really worried my performance isn't good enough, you are much more likely to try and detract from that by complaining about something physical-favourite is the costume, as you say also factor in a 12 hour day and suddenly whatever you are wearing is unbearable, factor in as you say the fact many actors feel powerless on set-actresses complaining about their corset when they are being listened to makes complete sense.

Um…Where did you get the idea for this version of the pocket? Not from Janet Arnold or Bertha Banner. Did you see an extant garment? Do you find the pocket-tape helps much with the weight distribution, when it ends up that close to the side of the skirt?

Talking about putting a stich wheee you want it dam

Really good video! I can now make better corsets

Thank you very much for this incredibly detailed video. You are a great teacher. Flossing is a form of art. By giving the basics as well as showing different designs for different boning materials the principles become very clear. I especially liked seeing silk floss and embroidery floss compared next to each other. I feel very confident in stitching my own flossing designs for all different kinds of stays and corsets now. Thank you!

It came out so nice and smooth! Super cute!

oooooo all of this is so cute. Literally what I want to wear on a daily basis!!

Have you made the pattern yet? I would love to make this skirt.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am almost done assembling my 1860's corset, and I was wondering how I would embroider it. Thanks for the video :)

I just bought the pattern great price! I normally would have tried t make a pattern but this isn’t for me. I also wanted to mention thank you for doing and showing later sizes I’m making this for a friend and while I’m se t my size I am not use to her body shape. I usually just do me ❤

Thank you SOOOO much ❤ This is the video I didn’t even know I needed. This is a brilliant idea for testing designs and color combinations together. It truly allows one to create a signature or one of a kind look. I’m so grateful to you for taking the time to create this video and share it on TH-cam 🎉

Just discovered the channel while studying historical corsets. When will the book be available for sale?

Do you have a free walking skirt tutorial? I can't afford to buy a pattern right now, but I would really like to try my hand at this!

Lina, How and where did you print the pattern ?

I'm sorry, but what you are using on the hem is, from memory, tarlatan. Not horsehair braid. Tarlatan is a stiffener, used to give body and structure wherever needed. The one you used is one of the thinner ones, more commonly for collars, sleeves, lapels, and other places, even waistbands if they are particularly thin and structure-less. Skirt hems are normally done with a 4 - 6 inch width. Horsehair braid is yet another product that is put on the bottom of the hem with fairly loose stitches and is designed to take, or sweep, the dirt and rougher walking treatment instead of the main skirt material, and can easily be swapped out with new as often as needed. Many use old scrappier material to do this job if horsehair braid is unattainable.

What fabric did you use?

Elle plaît beaucoup, votre jupe! Merci!

thank you for usng the chunkier body type template in your drawings. i feel represented!

wow…those hook stitches! beautiful!

Where do I buy the book. This video is a year old so I’m assuming it’s out by now?

This would be my dream! I only have the most basic sewing skills 😢.

Are you wearing any sort of stays under the bodice or does the boning help replace the need? I love this dress so much!!! You are so detail oriented and precise, unlike myself. I need to take notes.

Such a pretty pattern! I’ve been looking for something just like this ❤️

this is so cool! i am a bloody sewing beginner and want to try out making something different than small bags and decorations. i am in the process of assembling this skirt using an old bedsheet, because i want to try it out first before i use the good fabric. your pattern is well written, everything is understandable for a beginner like me. your video also helps a lot! thank you very much! :)

What is a walking skirt?!?

I have been waiting for this book, I want it so badly. I didnt get a chance to preorder but I will gladly pay full price

So great and you explained wonderfully. Thank you!

Just found your channel, TH-cam is awesome. That was cool😎. We need more instructional videos like this, very well done. I want to make a few corsets. I got the pretty housemaid corded corset pattern and I have a few other ones and I was wondering how to do the flossing. Looks as easy as doing regular embroidery. 😊 I like the sampler format. Good to practice. Young girls used to have to do a sampler to show off thier skills. Letters and numbers and lots of flowers and vines, some got quite elaborate. Sometimes they were framed sometimes they were made into stuff like pillows or book covers. A dying art that needs to be brought back.

I just discovered you and your history bounding capsule wardrobe project! I’m bummed that I missed out on supporting your kickstarter, but I can’t wait for your book to come out! Buying immediately!!

Good luck to you, a move thrown into the mix turned this year into a very busy time. Birdy

What a delight to have you check in! Been wondering how you’ve been doing. Thx! Keep up the good work!

Funny to see you working on things, for which we did have an update on the Kickstarter.

❤

Excellent tutorial thank you !! ❤😊

Regarding the sizing, I think the "old approach", ie learning how to resize a pattern, is easier for everyone and more "sustainable" for both pattern creators and us... it is way too much for a creator to make every single pattern in every possible size!

Thank you 😊

Whats up with your book?..or how about another sewing project..i love your tutorials, you explain everything all the little details..its been over a year since you've posted anything on TH-cam..i need a hook up..😢

Thank you so much for letting me buy your pattern 2 years late. I have never made anything without a pattern so having one I can hold in my hand is very satisfying. I will be watching more of your videos.

This makes sense! Thank you. Now to give it a shot!

Keep political comments out of your videos and you will attract twice the following.

Don’t beat yourself up. ❤ You’re a craft person. It gets messy. And you Seam to also have my problem; insufficient and fitting storage. Some day I’ll be able to have the time and money to fix things up. 🤞🏻

Where is the pattern please?
