Making Accessories for a Regency Outfit | Dressing Mr Bridgerton - Part 3
I make a Bridgerton/Regency/Jane Austen era men's cravats and ribbon watch fob. I made a full Regency outfit for my husband to attend the Bridgeton Ball with me in May. I'm making the next pieces of the outfit, the cravats and stock for variety, using Black Snail pattern 521, and a ribbon watch fob to pull his watch out easily.
I was able to finish the entire outfit in time for the Ball, so you get to enjoy watching me make it all! Part 4 will be making the silk waistcoat.

My husband was nice enough to agree to show how he made my hatpins on video.

Love your skirts and your music is so lovely! Thank you somuch for your presentation.
@@esperansaloughran693 thanks so much! 💚
Thanks for showing this, it's help me a lot ❤
@@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.
@@christineyates2618 I have some so before, I just was being extra impatient here 😆
This is amazing! I have an old prom dress that can work for this 🥹
@@LadyB_20 that would be a great use of the old dress!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I’m a novice sewer and I avoided a lot of mistakes by watching this! Your chemise is beautiful!
@@nicolechoma9722 thank you! And I'm so glad that showing my mistakes helped you make less of them! No matter how long we've been sewing, we all make mistakes
She looks like the “wish” version of Gillian😂🙌🏻
@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.
@@AbiSueCostumes Im remaking my lute cosplay gloves from hazbin hotel cause I don’t like how the black lines the gloves have came out
@@Autisticlutecosplayer30 awesome, good luck!
This just may be one of the beautiful things I have seen anyone make!
@denisepettit8534 thank you! 🥰💚
Beautiful ❤
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
You really do look beautiful in those long gloves. Can’t imagine how good they must feel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Wow you did a very good job! Green is my fav color as well! Do you wear those often and are they as comfortable as they look? Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you! They are very comfortable, and I def don't wear them as often as I should as I want to keep them nice for historical events 💚
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. 😂
Loool, it's what she does, she wants constant pets 😅😂
Very nice to see you again.
Thank you! 😊
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 🥰
Lovely to see you back! You’ve been missed! ❤️💖💞
Aww thank you! 🥰💚
Could you tell me the with and length of fabric in cm? Also the triangles and rectangles? Thank you ❤🌹
fab work! love the lilly of the valley...love it all...the pin cushion and the color choices. TY for sharing~ just beautiful! <3
Thank you so much! 🥰💚🌹
Would you by chance make another one of these to my measurements if I paid you for it??
Sorry, I don't do commissions
Your wee dog is Kate Bridgertons dog Newton so sweet
Haha yes! 🥰💚
I have those same patterns and I’m glad they can work together so well. Thank you for showing the whole process.
Happy to help!
Luxury green leather gloves.
I didnt understand what you did under the armpits
Are you asking about the square gussets I added under the armpits? They help with arm movement and are very common in older garments
@@AbiSueCostumes thank you kind lady
@@mikelroa8719 happy to help
So beautiful. We will be in Bath having Team at the Jane Austin Centre. Wishing I had a bonnet. I don't think I have time to make one, or pack it! :-) I think I will try to make one when I get home.
Thank you! And awesome, I'm sure it will look amazing 😊
@@AbiSueCostumes Where did you find your straw hat? Looking on Amazon, but not finding anything close to this.
@darylsmith1793 I think I found this one second hand on poshmark in the states before I moved. Vinted would be the place to look in the UK. Amazon might have some things, but I have better luck second hand, charity shop finds, ebay, vinted, etsy, that kind of thing
Absolutely Gorgeous! I need a walking coat in that fabric
Thank you! It was a nice find
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
Loved your collection of silky fabric and the touches of embroidery. Loved that you hand stitched your kit!
Thanks so much! It was a very fun project 😄
Would love one. Such elegant hat wear.
Thank you! I'm really happy with it 💚
Very lovely.
Love how you treat your side seams, so clean! Great, you take your time with all the hand-sewing! I do not know about the Butterick patterns, I am currently experimenting with Black snail and Truly Victorian patterns, which use a little less fabric as it seems, which is practical, having less of that beautiful woolen fabric, as you had😊
Thank you! And I def love the Black Snail and Truly Victorian patterns, I have many and they are amazing. But I have yet to try the skirt ones lol, I keep going back to my old standbys 😅
Thanks for this video. Can s man wear a kilt like yours?
I'm sure it would be perfectly fine for a man to wear it, of course
@@AbiSueCostumesthanks for your response and I really appreciate it.I hope your reply is not a sarcasm. Thanks
@@rogersbonettmb of course, and oh gosh, no sarcasm at all, everyone should wear what they want 😄
@@AbiSueCostumes Thanks a lot
Giornea, pronounced Jor-nia, like Giorgio Armani. 😊 PS- my family surname was DiGiorgio before we left Sicily for America. Basically Giorgio is George, the gior pronounced like jor.
Abi, you're an inspiration. Thankyou😊
Awww thank you! Happy to inspire 🥰💚
Thanks. I've often wondered how they were used. I suppose eventually the make the hat a bit holey.
Not much surprisingly, the pins are pretty sharp, they don't cut the material just poke through like with fabric
Clever , but it seems more like a wallet.
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing it in real life sometime. Your sewing assistant is very persistent!
Thank you! And yes she is 😅😂
Thank you very much for your tutorial! Very helpful!
Of course, happy to have helped!
Can I ask you a question? Does your back skirt consist of one or two panels? I watched you cutting the fabric - you cut only one panel for back skirt (on folded fabric). But if I am not mistaken that paper pattern provides two: skirt back and skirt side back. I am a little bit confused .🤔
@marinagrimshaw2810 I cut 1 back panel piece on the fold, I added extra length to that for the train. The large pieces I cut right before the back panel piece are the front/side panel pieces, I cut two of those that I sewed on either side of the back panel, so two seams on the sides, none in the back. If that makes sense?
@@marinagrimshaw2810 also, the front/side pieces I did cut on the fold, that could be part of the confusion, I cut straight up the middle of the fold to separate the pieces into two.
@@AbiSueCostumesthank you very much. Now I understand 😊 I hope to finish my robe soon
is it possible for you to share the link to how to make that tape? it looks tedious and boring but I am not smart lol
Oh yes! I'll go track it down in my favorites
Here is the tutorial I used, I just pared down the stitches: newstitchaday.com/vertical-herringbone-stitch/
@@AbiSueCostumes tjhank you so much! <3

I really like that pattern too! Your skirt looks really nice!
Thank you, I'm really liking this pattern too!
Your skirt came out very pretty. I love how the video is both very informative and easy to understand as well as so soothing and relaxing.

learned a lot but my favourite lesson by far is the blood/saliva bit
My mom taught me that, I'm sure it was passed down or something haha
