The footage wasn't good, so I deleted the part when I later accidentally cut that whole cotton tape off and had to messily sew the ends back together 😉😆
@@MariahPattie when I was a little girl my first sewing experience was when my mom (who was excellent at sewing and embroidery) taught me how to make the different stitches on a printed beginner piece....after spending hours sewing a bluebird on a branch with flowers and I discovered, when I went to show her, that I had sewed entire thing to my SHIRT, LOL, I tried to pick it up to show my mother, LOL, it was attached to me and I burst into tears… Luckily she did not make me feel bad, somehow the next day it was back in its hoop without my shirt....Lol, That was only the first of quite a few sewing mishaps in my longish life 😂 just writing this I suddenly have vivid memories of her showing me specific stitches-I haven’t remembered this in years-that first effort was when I was in second grade (1970?) and I am flooded with the details of the room, textiles on the sofa, wow, I think threads really do bind. Again, thank you for your videos!
The other night I went to bed with a skirt pleated on the dress form and the waistband ready to be pinned on. I woke up at 4am and had to force myself back to sleep because I was buzzing to sew on that waistband!!
I know that one well. Been many times where I just kept on going until finished. Was a hard way to learn how to sew in increments as I'm a big end result fanatic and sewing after 14 hours without sleep brings about so many screw ups.
I cannot thank you enough for the work you did to recreate that floral print. A little while ago, I ordered some of the white-background print on Spoonflower petal signature cotton, and I'll be making a short gown with it. It's my absolute favorite design, and I didn't even realize you were the creator until I saw part 1 of this project!
Absolutely lovely dress. Your whole 18th century sewing series has me riveted. I can’t wait until my tax returns come in and I can order some of this print, but I think I’d like to use it on a modernized regency dress
It might be cute to order a couple samples to cut out more red flowers, then sort of attach/embroider them around the neckline & down the center front a bit, sort of like appliques...
I really love how the dress turned out. I love it shorter; both the sleeves and the skirt. I think most people will look at it and see a cute summer dress.
Love it, love to watch you construct garments, and I love that this was part of the collection... here's to more history bound projects, for all of us!
I haven't had much motivation to sew in the last few weeks... This video changed that - I want those pleats. I love your methodical approach and the way you explain your reasoning, you make things so easy to understand! Update: I now have those pleats 😄
You inspired me. I figured out how (in the pattern that I haven't made for real yet,) how to keep this modest and not have that odd thing happening when you raise the neckline by adding that scarf thing (I'm sure it has its own special name,) as a built-in part of it. I always thought the scarf thing was super cute. Doing a scoop neckline like you did with your most recent stay might have an interesting effect on this dress. Food for thought. PS. I'm making this into a nightgown, with a raised waste line, super blausee sleeves, and buttons on front of the bodice. It's green checker and yellow roses (in a very vintage way). And it's super soft that's the most important thing. It was entirely inspired by this video, it was going to be a boring shift before.
It's amazing to see your 18 century capsule come to life! Can't wait for the fabric design video, I might have zero art skills, but looking at the process is so satisfying.
The music you use in your videos has the lovely effect of either inspiring me to work on my own projects with zeal or, if I don't feel up for sewing, making me feel as though I just finished the project with you!
Right on! It's really impressive how you're actually building all these costumes you want instead of just wishing it like me. Rock on. Also, glad to hear your thoughts on the hard edges vs the curved edges because that's currently a detail I'm considering with a bodice I have partly finished in the corner. I'll go with your curved recommendation. :)
I wish I could insert zippers like that... I’m impressed honestly Also, imo you’re the best historical costuming/historybounding channel out there. Amazing work!
this dress is so beautiful! I wish I had something insightful to add to this comment, but I’m a complete sewing beginner and this was basically witchcraft to me 😂 I love your videos though, and I can’t wait to see more!
Firstly, your videos have been so helpful for me with my own 18th century project- I have a much deeper understanding of the shapes needed to make everything look right, so thank you so much for that. Also, I have yet to master making running stitches look pretty. I have very pretty little backstitches, and they’re my go to, along with prick stitches (the spaced back stitch with only a small prick on the top side showing). But not running stitches. They just look so messy to me, and I can’t figure out how to make them pretty. Which is a pity, because they’d be much faster than a back stitch. And the dress is so pretty! I’d love one similar, but I tend to prefer full length skirts, and I think that if I were to do full length with that pattern, it would look too costume-y. Which is why not m sticking to beige, grey and blue plain fabrics for my project, because I want to be able to wear it on the street without too many sideways looks. I’m doing a couple of short jackets and petticoats in those colours, with the aim to mix and match. But I’m still currently only on the stays, which I am not sure if I want to hand sew or not. Machine would be quicker, but I love hand sewing. But I have too many projects on the go as is, and I really want to get to seeing my petticoats and jackets.... decisions! Maybe I’ll machine the boning channels, but hand sew the rest?
Attaching your skirt to tape is a definite improvement well done even though you thought it was to time consuming I thought it was a great idea really enjoyed this video
It was interesting to see how you went designed and constructed the dress. I enjoy seeing how others do things and the difference from my style. I will have to give the metal boning tips a try.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this video. I’m finally putting together an 18th century-inspired set based on this and the Vivienne Westwood Toile de Jouy dress. Can’t wait for your next sewing video!
Absolutely beautiful. I do enjoy seeing you fiddle with mistakes and changes. Helps me understand that no thing as perfection the first time around. Truly a historic bounding dress!
Such a nice project. Looks wonderful on you and you explanations were wonderful. I'm sure you been told you look so much like Jenny from Outlander. Have you done more of her costumes? I really enjoy your channel.
25:40 honestly I think a white top with a pale green skirt and subtle flower pattern looks really pretty. Obviously it doesn't look like a finished dress because it's *inside out* but y'know, the concept.
I think you could burrito roll the lining to the bodice so the shoulders are finished. But you have to do that first, before you sew the top and bottom.
I've watched almost all of your videos and am enjoying your channel immensely. This is weird but what I love the most is you use a TON of pins! I do, too! I really identify with that. LOL.
I can't behoove this video was only posted 6 months ago! I am just rewatching to get ideas/tips for creating my Halloween costume. It just feels like it was longer ago than that! You've come so far 😍
I love your modern vision of the 18th century style. Your dress is beautiful!! I’m taking a sewing course so I can recreate my own modern 18th century wardrobe! If we could ever meet up, your wealth of knowledge would be most helpful! Kindest regards!
In some lighting, the background of the fabric kind of looks like a very pale minty green. Such a beautiful dress! Looking forward to the video on custom fabrics. I've been very curious about it, but the price has made me hesitant to buy any or bother trying to design some.
I'm always so excited when you have a new video out and I looooooooove your dress! I would really have liked to see some of the sleeves fitting, though, because that's the part that intimidates me the most and keeps me from getting started on my first 18th century (inspired) outfit. Any plans to detail your sleeve process in the future? Many thanks!
yes, it's a plan. the problem is I don't know what I'm doing myself, and I keep finding my footage of it a confusing, jumbled, unusable mess. I want to get more in depth with sleeves once I actually figure it out myself.
I noticed you're using rigilene, which I agree is almost impossible to stop from poking though boning channels and a very experienced theatre costumer (i.e. has been doing this since the 70s) who specialises in historical productions explained why to me a few years ago, it is designed to be sewn onto the fabric not inserted into channels. If you do that it can't move to work its way through channels.
Ok this whole project is just magical but the moment around 30:00 of you putting your phone in the pocket was just strangely seductive in a way I can't explain 😂 Now I need me a masterfully made historically inspired spring gown with giant pockets...
What an awesome project 😍 You made it look so easy, what a skill level! When you mentioned not leveling the hem, i thought of my grandmother and that she used to have one of these chalk hem markers. You know, these things were you stand in front of a mirror, adjust the hight on that thing and than blowing a line of chalk while standing upright. I don't know how to describe it properly 😅 ... Anyway, you look gorgeous! Well done.
Suggestion for allowing more upward movement to the sleeves, underarm gussets! Both Bernadette and Morgan Donner have mentioned them as a feature for garments of this era!
If oyu have any scrap fabric left, you can always cut out some of the bigger roses and add them on the top by hand. You'll lose your pattern repetition, but maybe it'll cheer you up. Great work!
This dress is gorgeous, I need to look at how period clothing would be made to fit a pregnant lady and maybe create something similar for this huge belly of mine (bonus points if I can still wear it after my little one is born)
I think the skirt could be a little longer and a bit stiffer, may be a light summer petticoat? The bodice looks amazing overall a really pretty dress. I loved the pretty pattern on the fabric as well.
This is beautiful! I'm excited to find a channel with aesthetic sewing content that shows unique projects I could make myself and fit into my daily life. Also, just so you know the links for your spoonflower and myfabricdesigns shops are broken. I'm totally eyeing that green colorway :)
Is there a reason that the pleats of the skirt go in one direction only? They would be pretty I think if they went towards the center front in the front as well as the back... the dress is lovely, I’m hoping to embark on something similar soon. I like the idea of the wardrobe basics as well... I think some things that are woolen, a skirt or shawl to add texture and a coat in the winter would be fun, too. You’ve inspired me! Thank you!
I wanted to make an 18th century gown, but alter the bodice to flatter the form of my victorian corset. I usually wear stays, but I wanted to try the gown with a victorian corsetted form or without that 17th-18th century conical form, but Im unsure on how to achieve this. I know draping over a corset form is the start, but what would I need to change? Would I need to add side seams or bust darts to achieve this? Thank you.
I think it’s possible, but an earlier, less curvy corset would be better. But I haven’t played around with it myself to figure out exactly what would need to be patterned differently.
«I’m limited to hos much I can care» it’s a whole mood and I feil ya. And I love your result! I hate my serger, but would like not to...do anyone have any suggestions as to how I could end up not hating it as much?
Feeling super envious over that dress. Now I just need to work up the courage to make myself something like it! Just wondering, with the two bones in the centre of the bodice, how do you wash it? I presume they wouldn't bode well with a washing machine. Wonderful video. Discovered your channel yesterday and you are now one of my favs.
I’ve washed other clothes with the same thick plastic boning, and there wasn’t really a problem. I think if you’re worried, you could try sewing it with an opening, like for a Regency busk, and just remove the bones before washing.
I have the pattern from your Patreon, but I wonder: does it have to be worn over stays? Would it help if I just add a bit more boning on the seams? I want to wear this as a summer dress, but summers get sooo hot!!
How about sewing the skirt to a very thin fabric'd underlayer like tanktop/vest, adding hooks and eyes to the top and skirt to keep them together when wearing it that won't allow the top to ride up, but then you have an easier way to separate the skirt from the top instead of having JUST a dress which isn't how you planned them to be used.
that's the plan for the solid teal bodice/skirt set, but for this one, I realized the print isn't one I'd be likely to want to mix and match anyways. Plus I've made a lot of skirts and bodices lately and kind of wanted a plain old dress project.
Not 2, but maybe 3 yards is enough? There is a absolutely showstopper plaid linen I saw just the other day that's very pricey and I really can't justify buying a lot of it. If I could reasonably get away with 2 yards I would. For the record I'm 1,55cm (5"5') and I believe 60-someting cm waist (translates 23-25 inches). Im very tiny, not only short. So yeah, I'm making this dress out of 12 dollars a meter plaid fabric, in my book thats quite a splurge. Most of my fabric is 4 dollars a meter.
"I'm limited to how much I can care" is such a good line
It's a great life motto. really...
I need this embroidered on a throw pillow.
might do that as my first embroidery project :P
Thank you for pointing out when you make mistakes or accidentally sew over a part, as a newbie, I am encouraged

a blue water-soluble marker from Joann's. Seriously my #1 tool.
Lovely! 👏👏👏 I love the fabric you created. Is the one you used equivalent to the large scale version on Spoonflower?
Yes! I'm thinking I'll use one of the smaller-scale ones for a jacket, so it'll show more of the design.

👗
I have the pattern from your Patreon, but I wonder: does it have to be worn over stays? Would it help if I just add a bit more boning on the seams? I want to wear this as a summer dress, but summers get sooo hot!!
Probably, but it entirely depends on your busy size and how much support you need.
How about sewing the skirt to a very thin fabric'd underlayer like tanktop/vest, adding hooks and eyes to the top and skirt to keep them together when wearing it that won't allow the top to ride up, but then you have an easier way to separate the skirt from the top instead of having JUST a dress which isn't how you planned them to be used.
that's the plan for the solid teal bodice/skirt set, but for this one, I realized the print isn't one I'd be likely to want to mix and match anyways. Plus I've made a lot of skirts and bodices lately and kind of wanted a plain old dress project.
@@MariahPattie oh, okay that makes sense.
😃
Not 2, but maybe 3 yards is enough? There is a absolutely showstopper plaid linen I saw just the other day that's very pricey and I really can't justify buying a lot of it. If I could reasonably get away with 2 yards I would. For the record I'm 1,55cm (5"5') and I believe 60-someting cm waist (translates 23-25 inches). Im very tiny, not only short. So yeah, I'm making this dress out of 12 dollars a meter plaid fabric, in my book thats quite a splurge. Most of my fabric is 4 dollars a meter.
Am I the only one who likes the sound from the camera much more better than that of the voiceover/ using microfone?
Why are your seams so wide?
Mariah, you are SOOOO echoey in this!!! I can barely hear what you're saying!
I don’t understand why people like interlockers. I think it looks messy and ugly. I would rather sew a neat hidden seam or use any other method
