Making a Regency Men's Waistcoat | Dressing Mr Bridgerton - Part 4
I make a Bridgerton/Regency/Jane Austen era men's silk waistcoat. I made a full Regency outfit for my husband to attend the Bridgeton Ball with me in May. I'm making the next piece in the outfit, the waistcoat, using Laughing Moon pattern 122.
I used Ora Lin's pad stitching tutorial, see here: th-cam.com/video/wZ3NycLWaDI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8FFTQaMlFq6fHki4
I was able to finish the entire outfit in time for the Ball thankfully, so you get to enjoy watching me make it all! Part 5 will be making the final piece, the tailcoat, coming soon.
Bonus: Diana the Corgi and Bean the Chihuahua dogs

Beautiful 😍 amazing work!! Does anyone know what those renaissance arm cuffs are called? With the gaps wear you see the chemise underneath… I’ve always wondered how to make them but don’t know what term to search 🏰🎠❤
@theemilyanomaly thank you! I've always called them Italian Renaissance removable or detachable sleeves, I don't know what they were called otherwise. I did do a video on the process of making mine! th-cam.com/video/LuTURUY5jOc/w-d-xo.html
@ wonderful, thanks so much 😊
Where do you get these long pin from
I put a link to the supplies we used to make these in the description. The wire we used, we got off Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B094QSC385

A super adorable dress 💖
@@SugarChimera-22sg thank you! I really love how it turned out 💚
А почему спинку и перед вы кроите не сложив ткань попроам? 😮🤔
@@OlgaLulko-wv5vn if you're asking why I'm not folding my fabric in half to save cutting time by cutting through 2 layers, for this one i need to follow the chalk line as my stitch line, so I don't need to worry about the piece being even on all sides as I'll be using the chalk line instead.
@@AbiSueCostumes Да. Верно. Я именно об этом спрашиваю. Складывание при раскрое ткани - не для экономии времени. Это для того чтобы детали были симметричны. Особенно актуально для скользких тканей - шифон фатин органза и т.д. Если кроить развернутую деталь - ткань обязательно "уползет" куда нибудь. Честно сказать я первый раз вижу такой раскрой. Вы не профессиональная швея?
@OlgaLulko-wv5vn I've been sewing since I was 8, I've not had professional training though. There are multiple ways to trace and cut a pattern. The method I'm using here is used by professionals, even in couture fashion houses. The fold and cut method it definitely a valid method and one I also use most frequently. The reason I use the flat method for this is that I've drafted the pattern and I wanted more space to pin and bring in as needed, but also have the whole thing traced out. The original pattern I made was folded and cut for symmetry.
@@AbiSueCostumes Надо же! Вы меня очень удивили тем что в домах высокой моды используют такой раскрой. Я так делаю только если деталь асимметрична изначально. Например если хочу сделать драпировку или складки только с одной стороны
Костюм в итоге получился у вас прелестный❤
Geeornia. Soft G before i - day dress, as in French Journalier
Amazing work here! Thank you for sharing!
@@DiamondBrown-ud1ur thank you so much! 🥰💚
❤❤❤ that is fantastic! Well done!
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar thank you! I'm rather pleased with it 💚
My company Monah Li made the original dress in 1997. I designed it. The dress was sold at Fred Segal in Los Angeles in many colors because I made all dresses in white and then dyed them. The costume designer from Practical Magic bought the green dress at Fred Segal and exchanged the skirt part. I never even saw the movie until a few days ago because I’m suddenly asked to make this dress again now. You’re doing a very good job how you make your dress and yes! Your red beautiful hair really needs this green color.
@@monahli1597 that is so cool! I had thought that the costume designer just found the dress, I had no idea they edited it as well. And thank you!
Molto bello l'abito. E simpatici i tuoi cagnolini !

do you have a pattern?
@@cynthiapacheco7161 i mean I gave the dimensions, that's about the most of a pattern I did lol
Could this be made in a thick corduroy, i wonder?
@@kellysouter4381 that seems very possible, thick fabric like wool is used a lot, so I don't see why not
Came for the sewing, stayed for the corgi😍😍😍
@mollysaintonge8831 awww hehe, Diana's a cutie 🥰
Really good trying to follow it. but going too fast if you are not an experienced sewer. Need to slow down the video at points to see it in more detail
@@AlisonJudah I get you, if it's going too fast I think you can slow it down via TH-cam
@@AbiSueCostumes Thank you I'll try and do that
Lovely!
@@jane-runs-fast6288 thank you!
I'm attending a Regency Ball soon, for which I have been sewing my first long gown. How far from the floor is recommended in order not to trip on the skirt? I've seen some at ankle length, but do you think that would appear too short?
@rehhaus5857 I would say at least an inch or two off the ground. Ankle length would work, but might look a tad short depending on which decade you're going for
I'm making a dress for the first time. And need some tips! The dress is similar to this pattern. But I need to know how to cut out the pattern pieces. And how to put them together.
@AskAlice24 awesome! What pattern are you using, does it have clear instructions? If so, definitely start there. If not, the way I cut and construct mine is a good place to start. Doubled fabric, cut out the correct size, sew up bodice, fit it, then attach the skirt part.
The pattern has about four styles. I'm attempting to do the short sleeve with long skirt. Thank you for your tips!
@AskAlice24 good luck!
Thank you, I will need it! 😅
Wow nice dog.
@@hannansujan7506 thank you! She's pretty great
I really like your videos! It’s helped me a lot! ❤May I ask if you can share the pattern?I really want to make it too!😀😀
@GartmiosnedNqazxionsed thank you!

@@lunarlotis3746 so happy I was able to help you!
Amazing, your husband can jump right into a Regency Period drama with this outfit.
@Julia-rn1ib thank you! And yes, I've been really happy with it, he looks so good!
Use the sun as your light table. Sticky tape your pattern to a window facing the sun, then sticky tape the fabric in place over it, unless your confident you can hold it securely. With the sun behind the windows you should see the pattern through the fabric easily to trace the lines. Good stitching.

@vieve9292 bit rude to say about me, don't you think?
Your iron doesn’t seem to be doing a lot of work
@elizabethwatson71 the outer fabric is synthetic, plus the linen, they both iron easily.
looks amazing well done!
@@BibiTheLinkBuilder thank you! 💚
Which type of linen are you using? Would you please let me know?
@@artby1285 a medium weight linen, this is the listing: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/720841202/soft-linen-fabric-material-100-linens It says the weight is approx 180 gr/m2
I use google translate for words like camicia.
Can you use plain paper to trace your hand and then trace it on the fabric?
@user-zj5cj1sk8h yes, that will work. If using paper, make sure it's thin enough to put pins through, or use weights when tracing.

Croeso ! Welcome to Wales! Heck, that's a big move/culture shock. I live near the Gower Peninsula. I'm a complete amateur costumer. I don't know if any costume events here in Wales tho🤔. I'm in awe of all that knitting! It takes me half a year to complete one item. Love the dogs...of course, a Welsh Corgi, and the gorgeous gown hanging up 😊
Thank you! It's def been a big move, I'm really enjoying it here. I've been able to find near by costume events. I'm a part of a few groups, and I do have to travel a bit, but not too bad really. Plus I've been to a few local conventions as well. I'm always on the lookout for more things to do! 🥰💚
you did so much knitting! they look so nice :) i love when the new hobby obsession hits, and you just have to ride it out. luckily with crafts, you get a cool prize at teh end that is your new make :D
So much knitting! And this is true, I love wearing my new makes, it's been great 🥰💚
I'm chuckling at the dog getting slightly perturbed when you stop petting for 1.3 seconds and pulling the paw boops out. 😂

Very nice to see you again.

Nice to see you again! The walking skirt has definitely been wishing for a jacket to match! You could do several different waistcoats, toning, contrasting, etc. which would give you a lot of ways to change the look around. I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects 😀
Thank you! And definitely so many waistcoat and jacket opportunities for that skirt, I'm so excited 🥰
