- Hi everyone and welcome to the second part in my series on making a H.R. Giger's Alien inspired 1890s walking suit. I'm grouping this in with the historical Disney stuff that's being made at the moment because Disney own the rights to the Alien franchise so technically Alien = Disney princess :D
In this video I'll be making the petticoat and bumpad that will form the final foundation layer for this project. I'm really happy with how they turned out and I hope you enjoy following me making them. With this project I also wanted to prove that you don't need expensive materials to make things. I used some cheep muslin and the bottom of a net curtain for this. The wig was a fail, I'm just putting that out there now XD. An attempt was made at doing a late Victorian hairstyle on a wig but I've got no idea what I'm doing and it doesn't even fit properly lol. Enjoy :)

How can you not be happy with that well done
Don't worry about the transparency aspect. Any respectable Victorian lady wouldn't be caught dead in less than 3 petticoats.
Very true 😂
We should replace bum/hip padswith icepacks in summer : p
Love it
Why did I think you were looking at the pattern on an etch a sketch? 🥴
😂
I used a cotton sheet for my petticoats couple dollars at the thrift store they work great!
I've got one made of sheets now too 😊 They are handy for so many things.
Keep up the hard work looks great 🙏
Thank you ❤️
The respectable name for the 'bum pad's', external piece, was 'Bustle'. Somehow, over time, it went from genteel Victorian posterior enhancer, to being the name for a stowage locker on the rear of the turret of a tank. The original bustle probably existed due to a relative of Charles Darwin, a man called Francis Galton, who, on a trip to Africa, in 1850, became fascinated by the huge bottoms of the Hottentot (now Khoikoi) women there. The first he saw, he was too timid to ask, so he used a sextant, and some trigonometry to measure from a distance. He spent quite a long time in Africa, measuring ladies' bottoms. Nice work if you can get it... But then, in a time of weird, brilliant, and downright odd people, Galton was very, very odd indeed. Pictures he took, and drawings he made, went back to Britain, and suddenly, having a huge arse became a fashion statement, and the bustle was the acceptable way of being fashionable.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of historical fashion trends can trace their history back to colonial (racist) stuff. Even hair styles, Abby Cox has a good video that talks about that.
I do like the look of bustles though and am just starting an 1880s project.
For future reference, three 8mm squares are *very* close to an inch.
Thank you!
Lovely work. Well done. I look forward to future shenanigans.

Thank you 😊
@@craftingwithcasca If you ever feel like doing something Vintage from the 50's or 40's, Stephanie Canada, here on the YT would be an excellent collaboration...
Love the Victorian work you're doing.
It is so beautiful!
Another green haired baby TH-camr here 😄☝ a very cute petticoat, that you've made here 😀
Thank you ❤️
From my view the pin tucks look great!! Your outfit is coming along very nicely!
Thanks! I'm currently making a shirt with pin tucks (not for a video, just coz I'm bored lol) and it's good to get the practice.
This is so fun to watch!! You are so adorable, and it comes out in your videos. Great work! So fun to be baby you tubers at the same time. Would love to collaborate sometime. :)
Thank you ❤️ I still feel quite nervous in front of the camera and worry I come across robotic when I talk lol.
Totally up for a collaboration some time!
Yay!
You two doing CoSy (Costume Symposium), here on the YT, Aug 19-22, 21?

@@stevezytveld6585 I'm not personally doing anything (I joined the community super late) but I'll be following 😊
@@craftingwithcasca Pish, posh. So you're a little late. Do up a 'how-to' hand stitch' video. It's a great opportunity to get some numbers under your algorithm.
Besides, last years was so much fun that I'm in the middle of redoing our living room so that it also works seamlessly as a sewing studio.
So I can {gulp} start shooting my own sewing videos. Because I've got this 1915 Singer 99K hand-crank that deserves more love than it's currently getting.
