Cool! It's not nearly as complicated as it looked! Also explained how you packed it so easily. And answered my question of why not simply sew belt and folds to waistband. PS - love the necklace!
Awesome stuff :D love late 17th century mantua gowns they're awesome can't wait to do one with my gal so with that sorta gown did you ever wear it with the skirt not pulled up?
I think yardage depends on a lot on the height and size of the maker, as well as how full you want your skirt - there is a lot of variety in these. I used Hunnisett (link in the video description)
Way simpler than I expected!
Thank you for sharing this! It's a beautiful gown!
Thank you and you are welcome!

Would hooks have been used originally? I’m writing a historical novel and trying to understand what was entailed
Sorry to ask, but what should I google to find the brush you have all around the skirt? It looks amazing.
It's called fringe

How many yards of fabric are required for a mantua? And did you use a pattern or diagram, or did you draft it yourself?
