I legitimately miss playing dress up games, and omfg Time Princess looks like everything I could ask for, especially for having a storyline to follow too? 😭 The dress turning out beautiful btw! ❤️
Straight from Women's Own. Honestly before the days of fast fashion and heaps of disposable income I'm guessing everyone, even if you were moderately well off, had some fabrics and patterns they liked too much to just get rid of. (Used clothes refashioned and bought by poor people was very much an industry in the 1700's) What did they make them into? At a guess, nightwear, robes, baby clothes, accessory bags or perhaps children's clothes for kids who were in the in-between ages where they grow like weeds. Aside from letting out the undergarments would be too costly to constantly refit them into brand new outerwear. You have the remade clothes from older fabric for play/day wear and then some "nice" "new" monstrosity that they wore for formal gatherings and church. Knowing little kids, they may like the pattern or the cut, but things like the lace cuffs and starching at the neck, waistline, or cuffs would drive them crazy. (Says me, the former child turned adult that still doesn't like starched stiff lace or collars.)
I feel the same way with men is dresses. It makes me happy. Would you husband be interested in a silk gown? Just an idea. I bet it would be a challenge.
I wear a lot of button downs so I started recently making rococo inspired vests cause I love me a good vest and some pastels. I'm the fanciest kid in my class lectures
There's Takarazuka revue all female theatre troupe in japan , where's women played as male called otokoyaku & female role called musumeyaku , most of their stage play is 18th century one of example is their adaptation of anime Rose of Versailles in this video th-cam.com/video/Lor79P13OkI/w-d-xo.html even the costumes not 100 % accurate but the 18th century aesthetic is their playground.. they made female in 18th century male clothing so extravagant
My two cents… I love having more videos and behind the scenes about one dress. If you are feeling pressured to produce one neat start to finish video per outfit… I definitely don’t think that’s necessary! As a viewer, I love a series about an outfit broken up over weeks or months in several parts, showing the progress and challenges of dressmaking. I’m not sure if that would be easier from a video production standpoint, but if it would alleviate stress and provide more sewing time, that’s a suggestion?. 😀 You already amaze us so don’t feel like you have to have a whole new outfit per video per week!
Agreed. I could go for a big project like this taking a month worth of videos -- like a dedicated video just on the jacket and the way the false front is attached on the jacket. (I'm currently trying to wrap my head around just that thing in three different eras.)
My 4 year old gasped at the reveal and said "she's a princess!" And then "...you make that for me?" 😆 The dress is gorgeous, I love seeing makers make indulgent things, and I really appreciated the research
yes, it's absolutely plausible to recreate a pretty dress because it's that perfect shade of pink!👏👏👏 well done, you, it's gorgeous! (sewstine deserves SO MUCH CREDIT, for being a busy, and caring, and loving mum, and a wife, and a doctor, and a friend to many! busy bee, and still takes the time to entertain us, too ♥)
she's a doctor, not content with having a kid, husband and two dogs she plays Warhammer 40k and NOT CONTENT WITH ALL OF THAT, she also sews beautifully detailed 18th century gowns and showcases them on TH-cam, we are not worthy indeed
I would LOVE to see the following: - 18 century version of not 18 century character - Caraco jacket - Riding habit - basically anything else 18 century, your taste is exquisite
This turned out so beautifully and the little shot of you joyfully hugging the mannequin was just the cutest ❤️ I would love to see a video of how you manage your time as a doctor, mom, and full-time TH-camr! I simply can't conceive of how it all works and I'm sooooo curious 🙈
Since most of your sewing projects are historically-inspired but not following strict storical methods, I'd love to see you make a dress someday that gathers all your favorite parts and things from different eras. You could even take inspiration from the dresses on Time Princess, or pinterest or your current outfits or anywhere else you want. I just want to see a frankensteined Sewstine Dream Dress.
There is nothing you cannot do!! Beautiful dress on a beautiful person. You take all the time you need to finish anything. I will be here for it! Christine, you work so hard at everthing, take your time.
I have always wondered about the differences between a robe a la anglaise and a robe a la polonaise. This was so helpful and clarifying. Thanks for sharing your research.
Another stunning gown. Looks fantastic. The smile on your face as you were putting this on was so sweet. filled with pride and excitement. Congratulations. Thank you for another entertaining video.
WOW! Very educational! I had no idea about the lack of waist seams. Brilliant!!! Can't wait for the Halloween makes. Right now, you are a better man than me. I've been wrestling with a ruffle for a skirt, and I am just having a mental block about gathering and sewing said gathers. Love this dress!
This project looks so amazing!!! I know it is a long shot but if you ever get the chance I think you'd do a fantastic job re-creating the Russian Court Gown from Anastasia! There is so much embroidery and layers on it and I'm fangirling away over here asking if you'd consider making it. Thanks for being an inspiration and bringing us along with your sewing adventures.
Very beautiful just the way it is. I can't imagine spending 4 more months working on this dress, but you can so I am cheering you onward!! What a journey to make this with all of the gathering, the lace, etc.. You truly have the patience of a Saint! Thank you for sharing Part One with us and I can't wait to see Part Two!!
It's delightful! Such a fun shape, and really pretty finished insides! Please don't apologize for it becoming a 2 part video! Re-doing stuff is just part of sewing, and I agree it'll be nicer with some wider skirt trim. And I really like long videos with lots of talking, they're perfect for listening to while working on hand sewing. I didn't used to like bright saturated pink very much but it has grown on me. I recently came across a 1750 portrait of a man in a suit in almost that colour, with a paler pink waistcoat, and it looks fabulous.
I just want to say that - although I do not expect to sew or even create anything that you have made. I really REALLY enjoy how you incorporate the history and learning about each piece you make. It's what I enjoy about your videos the most.
It’s such a beautiful dress and the colour suits you. I can’t wait to see it when you add the extra trim, the joy of these dresses is their flamboyance!
I’d love to see more ghiblicore dresses/makes! I think your creativity really shines in them and I find them to be so inspiring (your Sophie dress is definitely on my try to make list). Perhaps one from castle in the sky or Nausica and The Valley of the wind? Or making howls jacket (which I definitely want to do for my partner if I can ever figure it out).
You go girl! Pinkstine strikes again ☺️ I just finished binging Squid Game (like everyone else in the world) and am waiting on the round of costumes inspired by either the guard outfits or the VIPs. I wonder if there’s a way to do a historical twist 🤔
Loved this dress & I don't even like pink ! Loved seeing it come together! Love you hugging the dress on the form ! LOVED your tall husband assisting you with your dress. It's funny, this is one time him being taller worked out well ! His arms bend easily to the height of your shoulders ! Award him "100 Hubby points!" ;) No worries about a 2nd video. Looking forward to you working on it more. You look ADORABLE in your orange p.j.s editing with your cute little headphones ! Your hard work, dedication & sheer JOY of creating is such a balm at this time. Thank you.
I'm thinking since you love the cottage core look and the 18th century fashion, maybe you could do a reversible dress taking inspiration from those two things.
Ahh super pretty Christine!! So happy you finally have an 18th century gown in your favorite color. I'm excited for part two when you finish the updated trim! Take as long as you need on it though!! You'll finish it whenever you finish it. Don't worry about us or apologize for the two-part video. We can be patient waiting for an update. You're making this for you after all!!
IDK if you plan on doing 1860s but as a fellow shorty I would love to see that style translated (you may have done it already), especially their court dresses 🤤, I know they’re for young ladies but they’re sooo pretty! As always love your stuff!!!
saw you drafting your pattern, and thought a "french curves" ruler set would really be of benefit for you. they're super versatile and useful for things like drawing the curve of arm/neck holes, drafting pockets, sleeves, waists... i see tailors use them all the time, and they're easy to find and generally affordable. cheers. xx
You look so PRETTY IN PINK! Thank you so much for all of the educational content. I can only imagine the many hours that the research takes. I think doing two videos is wonderful. It will be something lovely to see in a few months' time how various trims can change the look of a dress.
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 That colour really suits you so well. I agree with you about the thicker trim; it’s great to have a good excuse for some extra floof!
I absolutely love big pretty gowns like the ones you make but what I love MORE is how much research and history you share about the gowns you choose. Your videos are so lovely and I just really appreciate you!
I don't even like pink and I am amazed at how gorgeous that fabric is, WOW. You're attention to detail and craftsmanship (craft-ship?) are as impressive as always 😊
I love this!!! Very pretty!!! Spooky stuff!!! Im looking forward to your next video. Yikes. That’s a lot more trim. No worries on the two part. We’ll love it when you bring it back too.
Justine you look gorgeous 😍 both your finished look and your narration look are so lovely! I think it would be so interesting if you told us how long your projects take you, and/or how long the steps take you. I'm often impressed with the extra work you decide to put in as you go, and you always speak so cheerfully as if it took no time at all! I'd love the extra context of knowing just how many man hours are in your fabric confections.
That pink shade is perfect and looks beautiful on you! I agree about switching the lace on the skirt to a wider version, I think it will have a bit more impact that way. Plus it means we get to have another video! Yay!
You *can* get that shade of pink in the 18th century. Cochineal dye, when it's not mixed with madder to give a true red, by itself dyes a really bright shade of pink. It tends more towards the cooler end of the spectrum, verging almost on magenta. I think it's more popular aesthetics favoring soft shades and 'if you're going to using the money to show off wealth via lots of imported bug dye, go all out and make it red'. But even if it wasn't "accurate", it's a dress that makes you happy, it's stunning, and you look amazing and you should make it for that. I just find dye history interesting.
Your work is exquisite; I am in awe of both your sewing and your time management skills! IIRC that style of dress was called a la Polonaise “ as a reflection of Poland being partitioned by the Habsburg monarchy, the Russian empire, and the Prussian kingdom in the late 1700s.
i said it about angela clayton's recent pink chemise a la reine and ill say it to you too... this pink masterpiece might be my favorite project of yours to date!!! i love it!!!
Amazing work. I love your confidence to go for it. I personally would have gone for a softer shade of pink, that isn't a turn down just personal taste. Clearly you're proud of your work and the the gown's design. You definitely rock it. 5/5 stars.
I think the confusion comes from the fact that in french, there is on the one hand the "robe à la polonaise", and on the other hand the"retroussé à la polonaise". There are quite a few differences in the vocabulary, for example the italian gown is what we call "robe à l'anglaise", a fitted back dress worn over a stomacher are called "robe ajustée". The pieces you sewed to close in the front are called *compères*. If you are interested in the types and names of french dress during the reign of Marie Antoinette, this mini conference based on 18th century sources has english subtitles: th-cam.com/video/-eh4T8TVyCo/w-d-xo.html. There is also a video series on Empire fashion on the same channel.
I know you love sills, but I'd love to see you make a more "casual" 18th century gown (or mix-and-match jackets and petticoats) in cottons or linens. Or perhaps a "shepherdess" costume. Kind of a combination of themes between Marie Antoinette and Cottage core?
Oh my gods, I've been playing that game for almost a year now and I was wondering when historical costube will get to it... I mean yeah they're not always period accurate but when they get something right? Holy crap, the details on the game dresses are just too good. (And yay for featuring Madam Pompadour!) Also yay for more 18th century dresses huehue

Still waiting for that doll dress making video🧐🤔😁.
Omg I want to! I look at dear Evelina and I feel so guilty! I just hate making skirt supports and that’s the next step!
You should totally make your favourite Time Princess dress! I bet that would be a fun challenge!
So FYI, downloading that game distracted me from the first half of the video!
I legitimately miss playing dress up games, and omfg Time Princess looks like everything I could ask for, especially for having a storyline to follow too? 😭 The dress turning out beautiful btw! ❤️
Now I am just imagining 18th century magazines having articles titled: "5 Hacks to Get the Hot New Polonaise Look Using Your Old Anglaise".
Straight from Women's Own.

Here, here! Absolutely!
I think I'd die happy if I could see a Sewstine caraco jacket!
Favorite parts: Hugging the dress and editing-stine's pj's :)
Wow- that dress is really
~swaggy~
I’m so curious how do you store your dresses? They’re so large and in charge and I can’t see them fitting in a closet very well haha
I’ve seen other creators mention vacuum sealing, though even that seems like a big job!
The mannequin hug was so sweet! Love seeing your excitement and happiness
This turned out so beautifully and the little shot of you joyfully hugging the mannequin was just the cutest ❤️ I would love to see a video of how you manage your time as a doctor, mom, and full-time TH-camr! I simply can't conceive of how it all works and I'm sooooo curious 🙈

The pink is gorgeous on you - and I love that you found fashion plates with brilliant pink in them!
Also that wardrobe transition for Time Princess was *chef's kiss* 👌
I love how happy she looks with it...
Ahhh! I recognize Kendra! She's 1/3 of the Frock Flicks trio!! I LOOOOOOVE those ladies - they're the reason I fell into CosTube to begin with!!
Frock Flicks is hilarious! Also, Kendra just has such incredible scholarship!
I love how much joy you get from your dresses! It's lovely to see it on your face in the final shots
I absolutely love that dress! Also living for Pyjamastine.
I’d love to see you make a dress inspired by your fav movies! Like a robe a la francaise inspired by a ghibli film or something
There is nothing you cannot do!! Beautiful dress on a beautiful person. You take all the time you need to finish anything. I will be here for it! Christine, you work so hard at everthing, take your time.
Maybe a historical version of the Beetlejuice suit for your husband to match your black and white Sleepy Hollow dress? Or maybe Jack Skellington?
Previously I just thought a polonaise was a dance. Didn't knew it was a term used in clothing too! Always fascinating to learn something new!
The striped dress Victoria wears in Corpse Bride is, like, my dream dress. Would love to see you tackle that.
Getting a second video about this feels like a surprise bonus! I'm excited to see that! The dress is lovely
The Princess Bubblegum vibessssss 💞💞

11:26 I don't even LIKE pink and my eyes bulged and I went, "Oooooooo!" at how pretty this is! Perfect fabric choice!
An 18 century cosplay of something modern would be fun to see
You go girl! Pinkstine strikes again ☺️ I just finished binging Squid Game (like everyone else in the world) and am waiting on the round of costumes inspired by either the guard outfits or the VIPs. I wonder if there’s a way to do a historical twist 🤔
Loved this dress & I don't even like pink ! Loved seeing it come together!
Love you hugging the dress on the form !
LOVED your tall husband assisting you with your dress. It's funny, this is one time him being taller worked out well ! His arms bend easily to the height of your shoulders ! Award him "100 Hubby points!" ;)
No worries about a 2nd video. Looking forward to you working on it more.

Your happiness in your reveals always makes me smile ❤
IDK if you plan on doing 1860s but as a fellow shorty I would love to see that style translated (you may have done it already), especially their court dresses 🤤, I know they’re for young ladies but they’re sooo pretty! As always love your stuff!!!
love the pumpkin jammies!!
Very beautiful dress and looks outstanding on the gorgeous lady who is wearing it.

Love it! This dress reminds me of Cinderella’s pink dress!!💕

You look sensational! I'm also a big fan of the pyjamas 😉
This was so relaxing to watch you hand sew! Thank you for this video ♥
This was such a great video! I love the shade of pink too and it looks stunning!
Always such a delight to watch your videos🥰
That is beautiful, what a colour!
As always, I am stunned. Your work is absolutely beautiful. I look forward to seeing the finished trimmings the way you want them to be.
