Wow, if I had that dress I would wear it everywhere - the supermarket, taking the cat on a walk, getting a take-out pizza, and even be buried in it. I adore it!
This really is the perfect gown in which to flee from a murder scene leaving behind a man with no voice and wearing jewels that are not your own (and I mean this in the most complimentary way)
I can't remember where I heard this, but all tones and shade of green look good together to our human eye, because all colors of green exist together in nature! beautiful gown! !!!
When I was a kid, we watched a lot of PBS...there was an interior designer from Georgia, I think, that had a show on there (in the halcyon days before cable existed). I remember clearly that she said all shades of blue, green, and peach go with themselves (all blues go together, all greens.... you get the idea, I'm sure)...in case you wanted a professional designer's opinion on your loves. ^^
I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your work and skill, I have been sewing as a hobby over 54 years. Your workmanship is not only exquisite but exceptional considering this modern day and age. I my self have used a Singer Featherweight and a Wilcox & Gibbs, I still believe they sew the best and our older machines are better built. So nice to see the basting and prep work you do, I have hand sewn and basted all of my work over the years and you and see the difference in the finished product. I know I'm not the only guy out there that sews but just nice to see others that have the same passion for a quality garment. Thank you JMB
So inspiring. I’m going to be recreating the Pennywise costume from IT (2017) for my Halloween costume this year, and your Victorian costuming videos have given me tons of ideas, especially the interlining process and your puff sleeves.
I love seeing your projects come together, Bianca, and your videos are simultaneously calming and absolutely riveting! I think the Mandragora projects and your Crimson Peak inspired dressing gown/housecoat have been my favorites thus far. I modified the heck out of the TV291 walking skirt pattern to curve the bottom third of the front seams and create a wide flared circular hem flounce, creating a kind of hybrid of the practical roomy hip of a standard walking skirt, but with the flared trumpet-ish hem of the late 1890s. It meant a lot of cutting, spreading, taping, frustration, and redoing on my living room floor before I could even touch the fabric, but the skirt now just needs the hem facing and waistband, and I’m so excited to wear it when it’s finished! Your projects and almost magically effortless pattern manipulation inspire me, so I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you.
Absolutely stunning! you make it seem SO ‘easy and achievable’ … mere mortals such as ourselves can only dream of wearing a gown of pure perfection (I would even forgo my paralyzing fear of spiders!!)
From what I've heard, doing what you can with what you have, occasionally unorthodox materials, is 100% historically accurate lol its one of the things I love seeing in historical garments

So beautiful! I really love the touch you added with all the beaded bugs on the stomacher piece. I would love to see an Art Nouveau themed costume sometime! Art Nouveau is my fav 🥰
I feel like there's an opportunity for more beetle brooches in surprising locations, like on your shoulder, or the tiny back "peplum", or peeking out from under a flounce. If you aren't freaking people out for at least a couple seconds thinking that you have a bug on you, are you really taking full advantage of beetle brooches?
wonderful! as perfect as any costume i've ever seen in hollywood, you are that good! also interesting to discover that chiffon is sooo hard to work with, yet every movie star in vintage hollywood was dressed in it. will appreciate the labor involved even more when i watch classic films
Hi Bianca, I am about half way through! This is like watching intense labour! That fabric is amazing. Just watched the bias tape maneuver. Exquisite. I take your episodes very seriously. So much patience! You need some magnificent events to parade in! Love it! I will be back ..??🌏🌎👗👗🍒🎭 Congratulations! Thank you! 🇨🇦Warmest wishes, Josnne
"More vintage, than vintage"...Isnt that Rob Zombies new single? lol. Tip on cheap spring steel boning....Hardware stores sell electricians wire fishing tape. Its a long roll of gun blued spring steel perfect for boning. I always got those hardware store hacks for ya!
I look forward to you getting some great portraits in your gown, but already I’m so excited! The bodice with the details on the front and the back are all incredible, but the stomacher!!!! OMG ❤️
You are such an inspiration! I would happily join you deep in the biblioteque reading ALL the Shelleys; our gloves would even complement each others` (I was trying to find black gloves like the ones you wore with the Cicada Gown and amazingly could only get opera- and shoulder-length white ones...maybe God wants me to look like Princess Peach lol)! I also love your Cinderella run at 44:00
This was just amazing. I loooove the shots where you were going down the stairs with the spin at the end. The level of work and detail always amaze me.
I love, love, LOVE that dress! You're a woman after my own heart...I'm just getting into historical clothing and my inclination is to hand sew almost everything I can. And it's great that you have a vintage Singer machine that works well for you (altho' I bet you'd enjoy using a "free arm" to finish sleeves) Thanks also for the tip about where you get your silk...someday, when I have enuf $$$, I'll make a dress out of silk!
I'm obsessed with the multiple greens and the stomacher details. It's perfect. The flounce in the back collar really adds a nice touch. Also, your videos inspired me to visit my local bead store and decorate some of my clothes. I have some fun green beads now and am percolating ideas of how to decorate my day wear.
I can't believe you made so many bodies already! It feels like you just started, but that could just be my inability to keep track of time 😅. But this bodice is absolutely STUNNING. It's very Del Toro, in the best way.
That puffy sleeve as a sewer makes me nervous!! I would somehow screw it up as the silk looks slidy.. . This dress is gorgeous 😍 the swoosh is glorious to behold!. I can't afford silk but it's fun to see you make stuff out of it .
As usual it’s so georgous😊😊😊👌👌👌I’m always so happy to see when you post! First thing I do is watch your video’s Keep up the great work absolutely beautiful
Stunning. As always thank you so much for every minute of film showing your working. It is excellent. Im learning so much. I really appreciate all the information. Your work is beautiful. And you look really beautiful in all versions.

Thank you Amy! Love me some foliage as well 💚
From an anthropology perspective that makes total sense, humans are very good at differentiating greens (plants) and reds (berries)
I disagree, some blue greens do Not look good with yellow greens and I'm trained in design and color .
@@ah5721 But do blue-greens truly exist in nature? The only I can think of are spruce trees...

Thank you Marcco! Silk chiffon is quite fragile, so it's easy to snag it, rip it, etc...which adds to the difficulty factor!
Chiffon is the devil to sew!but drapes so nice!
I love how wing like the flounce turned out 😍
Thank you Geri!
Gorgeous! Can’t wait for the next costume project! (Turn of the century art nouveau sounds divine!)
Thank you Bailey!
Absolutely stunning, the evening bodice is stunning, a wonderful addition to the Mandagora Gown. BTW the dress dances when you spin 😍
