8:30 that's super interesting! There's a tailor I was getting training at who actually does this with extra linen at the "skirt"/bottom of the jackets he cuts to give the coats more of a flare! Interesting to see traditional techniques being used in 21st century bespoke :D
Oh my god. Thanks to you I have found the blouse of my dreams by looking in your video. One on the site Hystorica Emperium , the Emmeline ruffle blouse have the exact detail of what I was looking to complet my kit I use to give conferences. So much thank you. I'am really happy.
My very favorite movie of all time has to be the Megan follows version from the 8same 0’s however so glad you referenced it! It made me cry when Mathew got that dress for her!
Re: hair & gown not lining up...why would someone get rid of a very very expensive gown and not reuse it in a few years or pass it down? Maybe a new hairstyle will make it look "fresh"! Plus vintage days with your friends at tea...
while not everybody would have stayed absolutely up to date, clothing was certainly altered or even taken apart and the fabric remade into something else entirely. or it would have been sold or given away for somebody else to likely do those things. vintage dressing wasn’t really a thing outside of fancy dress parties and the like, you’d likely just be seen as out of date
Wouldn’t a 1900s lady still have her fancy expensive suit from a few years before? People didn’t toss clothes, the magazines showed new ideas but they’d get mainstream over time. Hair from a few years later seems perfectly realistic to me. And it looks great on you! There was no fast fashion, so this seems historically realistic.
Beautiful. I am inspired. Please tell me more about Dying the lips. I'd like to find a few good lipstains... But this sounds interesting. Thank you for such a great and Candid video.
@@Sewstine Is Lipsense an Avon product? I used to have an excellent one from them.. but it was like a paint and you took i off with make up remover. I'll look it up. I'm sure I've seen it before. Thank You Soo Much!
Deanna - Hi! The company is SeneGence. I sell LipSense - once you put it on it doesn’t smudge or run. Let me know if you have any questions about it. senesite.senegence.com/KimberlysLips/shopproducts
Historically inspired (not necessarily historically accurate at the same time) is a wonderful thing :) You look absolutely fabulous :) The waistcoat adjustment trick is genius :)
PUFF SLEEVES!!! 😍 The scene where Anne goes to the barn to show Mathew the dress and thank him for it is one of my favorite. Her joy and gratitude combined with his love for "his little girl" makes for a very emotional scene.
"Historically adequate" seems, to me, as a great balance between history and fun! Bottom line, Sewstine, you always look fabulous whether your look is historically accurate or adequate!
The bit where you struggled with the buttons had me laugh out loud! The contrast between the underskirt and the rest of the outfit is such a nice touch. Beautiful work as always :)
Ha ha, a girl after my own heart. I, too, am historically adequate. Uh! The sleeves! I have more than one pattern that just the blouse is 5 yards!! Five yards for a skirt, five yards for a blouse, I'm walking around in easily 9 yards of fabric after it's all said and done! But oh, "SUCH FASHION." Love this! Stay well!
I love that you tell us where you are accurate and not. I also love that you include the places you get the things you buy vs. make. I think it is amazing that you are supporting the community.
Haha I love that the fabric changed you to team Mariilla lol I love the older version of Anne too so wish it was available to watch somewhere. Really enjoyed this video xx
This dress is absolutely gorgeous, puffed sleeves and all. Also love the inclusion of the Kate Beaton comic. I still quote her work all the time and no one gets it.
This ensemble is magnificent and you look wonderful in it! :D Seeing all the layers and how they fit together weirdly make the idea of creating an outfit like this a little less intimidating. Like yes, it's a lot of work, a lot of decisions to make - but taking it step by step, each individual piece can be created however works best for you to support the overall concept.
I' in love with those sleeves. As a young adult in the 80s, big sleeves were a fashion statement I wore frequently. They are kind of making a comeback as "statement sleeves".
Ha! I never expected to encounter a picture of myself when I started to watch this video! But there I was in my walking skirt. By the way, your sleeves are amazing and I loved the whole outfit. I wish I had your hair to be able to do those gibson girl hairstyles. No matter how I try, I can’t cover the hair rat at the front as that would require all the hair I have.
I love that I just found a ton of new sources because you shared them here! So useful, and STUNNING results, thank you!! (And as always, I will happily steal your sofa anytime you feel like leaving the room. That fabric is just *chef's kiss*.)
I'm in awe of how amazing you look, and sad it took me such a long time to find you. On the bright side I have lots of new and amazing videos to watch.❤
I really love watching costubers that have a big budget, it's beautiful and inspiring. I'm over here like "this is just a 20 year old bed sheet I picked up from my linen closet lined with polyester curtains I stole from my mother," lol.
I do love the historical emporium blouses, but I’m right at the top end of their size range, and given how expensive shipping is, I’m not sure I want to risk it. It’s like with the last corset I bought- it is slightly too big, but I’d have to pay for shipping both ways (I believe) to return it and get the next size down, and that’s over $100 just for the shipping. Thankfully, disability to the rescue- because I sit in a wheelchair, I have to have my corset looser than what I would have it were I to be upright most of the time, so the fact that it’s a little too big isn’t really an issue. I did get the recommended size for my measurements, but I have a small ribcage and I’m super squishy, so I can easily corset down 10 inches before I hit tight lacing territory. But as for blouses, I think I might be better off making my own, but I’m still looking for a basic (little to no lace insertion, and only very slightly puffy sleeves) pattern. If anyone has any recommendations for a basic blouse pattern (or even just a good premise basic blouse that comes in plus sizes and isn’t too expensive), I’m all ears!
With the amount of work this must have been and how clumsy I am with drinks, I would only ever drink water in this beautiful outfit, I’d be sure to stain it otherwise-hats off to your bravery
Binging your videos in the background while I made supper. My two-year-old loves them, which surprised me because she's super into Toy Story most days. She just walked into the room with a faux sheepskin held up against her and said "I make a dress, mama." which shocked and delighted me! Obviously your influence!
I really appreciate you saying that there aresome pieces you dont care about making. It can be really stressful to make a 100% historically accurate, home made outfit and you saying that its okay to substitute and\or buy premade pieces makes me stress less. Thank you.
Layering the garments starting below the waist rather than _at_ it is very sensible when you want to keep your apparent waistline at your natural waist, rather than slightly above it.
No hate, no tea, no shade intended. I do think you need to tighten the back of your corset. That bulging/gaping out at the center back of your corset is horrible for your corset and it defeats the point of wearing a corset. Which is a smooth silhouette. Again, no hate but it takes 5 extra minutes to let your body adjust to the compression and it makes a huge difference both aesthetically and for your corset’s health/lifespan.
Agreed, it was kind of painful to see that. For anyone curious about wearing corsets, the gap at the back should be straight up and down, the two sides parallel, not bowed out. If there's bowing, then the tension is unevenly distributed between the grommets and will cause the fabric to wear down faster. It'll also distort the shape of the boning and wear down the boning channels as well.
This grogeous truly victorian skirt was my first bigger project after I started sewing three month before I made it. So I skipped the lining part. I am a tiny person and long skirt make me look even more tiny usually but gosh, that skirt?! I look like so much taller in it. I love it so so much. I need to make a few more of it
I've been using your videos to help me study (im a textiles student so lots and lots of hands-on work), your voice is so lovely and I love watching what you create and the projects you're working on! I so feel the term 'historically adequate', i love costume and craft history but don't have the time for authentic reproductions so I live vicariously through costube, haha. Love your channel and your energy
"I'm wearing makeup but mine is not historically accurate, mine is just Chanel" lol a legendary sentence
I'm going to use "historically adequate" forever. Thank you for that lol! The whole ensemble is beautiful btw. I'm absolutely amazed.
I love "historically adequate" it captures the 15 foot rule perfectly. If it looks right from 15 feet, it is right.

There was no fast fashion, so this seems historically realistic.
puffed sleeves are silly but oh my they're gooooooorgeooooous
I'm pretty sure if padding was used everywhere inside clothing it was also used in hair. Also gentle backcombing does wonders.
Ahh I love your videos!
Beautiful. I am inspired. Please tell me more about Dying the lips. I'd like to find a few good lipstains... But this sounds interesting. Thank you for such a great and Candid video.
Hi! I use lipsense. It works great and doesn't even come off my mask after working all day. :)

"Boots first, then corset" is the goth scene mantra for a reason!
"Boots before bodice" is the Renfaire version.
This is the historical costuming equivalent of posting pictures with a private jet.
LOL! Thank you!
Historically inspired (not necessarily historically accurate at the same time) is a wonderful thing :) You look absolutely fabulous :) The waistcoat adjustment trick is genius :)

Thank you! haha! It's a term @bernadettebanner @rachelmaksy and @morgandonner started but it's so true to me!
That waistcoat split is such a brilliant solve!
THE PUFFED SLEEEEEEEEEEEVES! Also "because I like it" is a totally legit reason for diverging from historical accuracy in costuming. Love it!
The bit where you struggled with the buttons had me laugh out loud! The contrast between the underskirt and the rest of the outfit is such a nice touch. Beautiful work as always :)

The silent "WHAT THE FFFFUUUUUU" made me giggle like a child 😂.
Also "historically adequate" describes me perfectly, I love that
"Historically adequate" is a fantastic way to put it. Definitely what I aspire to. And thanks for all the links and resources!
This little Anne comic strip is everything 😂
Love love love the whole outfit, it is truly gorgeous 👏🏻
The comic artist is a lady named Kate Beaton! She's amazing and hilarious and her comics have a lot of historical costumes in them!
I love that you tell us where you are accurate and not. I also love that you include the places you get the things you buy vs. make. I think it is amazing that you are supporting the community.

Okay, you convinced me. I just bought the pattern...

I love how great the blouse and skirt alone look! Adding the waistcoat makes it amazing and then the jacket!! What fun. This is very inspiring!
"Historically adequate," I love that so much 😂❤
Love this presentation! Thank you for listing the small businesses you bought from and your fabrics sources.
The teacup... and than cheking the mobile! ^^ Perfection!
"Puff sleeves eat up so much fabric and serve no purpose other than to go around with fab puff sleeves." SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT REASON TO ME!
How I love my historical fashion, but thank god it’s acceptable to just wear shirts and jeans.
LOVE THE CAMEO and you in that beautiful outfit, of course. The proportions of the huge sleeves with the rest of the dress is perfect. Thank you.
I' in love with those sleeves. As a young adult in the 80s, big sleeves were a fashion statement I wore frequently. They are kind of making a comeback as "statement sleeves".
"omg, such fashion" I'm so here for the Hark, A Vagrant references!
I live for giant sleeves! Also the colour of that silk paired with the wool? absolutely stunning!!
I subscribed before even watching your video just based on your epically cool title... "I like big sleeves and I cannot lie"!
Just finished watching! Love your style and your video 💖
Thank you!!!

Ohmigosh! You are a perfect grown up Anne! You are so beautiful and elegant! I am in awe of your sewing skills. Thank you for sharing this.
I am on your Side about the actress for Anne. And on Annes side regarding sleeves.❤️
Puffed sleeves is so beautiful.

It's a shame you support Lipsense, which is an MLM! Everything else is really fantastic, I've been binging your videos all day
I support the nurses I work with. But thank you!

I love big sleeves. And am a crossdresser.
You seem like you're getting a lot more comfortable with doing voice overs and such! Great work!
Enchanting movie costumes
Puffy sleeves are frivolous and expensive... What better reason to have them?
ROFL what a perfect summary!
Was going to get sleep but that can wait
So you could say, in terms of chemise accuracy, that you don't give a shift?
LOL!!! XD XD XD
Historically Adequate 😂😂
Anne of Green Gables--my all time favorite childhood book!! Love your channel!! ❤ (and your Chanel?) 😂
Growing up I was impressed that a particular Dior dress had 6 years in the skirt; it made me want a dress with a 6 yard skirt.
Binging your videos in the background while I made supper. My two-year-old loves them, which surprised me because she's super into Toy Story most days. She just walked into the room with a faux sheepskin held up against her and said "I make a dress, mama." which shocked and delighted me! Obviously your influence!

Wonderful trick for reducing the appearance of your waist. ‘One size fits none’ love it!
$60 for puffed sleeves, and then you start adding the cost for the rest of the garment! OK deep pockets.
You look amazing, love the outfit and puff sleeves are absolutely worth it
Layering the garments starting below the waist rather than _at_ it is very sensible when you want to keep your apparent waistline at your natural waist, rather than slightly above it.
@Sewstine • You didn't even take credit for the fact you did this in plaid! Terrific! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Binging all your videos because you’re amazing
I saw the clickbait image and I was
SAME GIRL!!!!

How you gonna wear the plastic under the sleeves?
Not historically accurate, but historically adequate yeeeeeeeeeeeesssss!
omg such fashion indeed
Do you have a link to that friend of yours who does those little Stones?
This grogeous truly victorian skirt was my first bigger project after I started sewing three month before I made it. So I skipped the lining part. I am a tiny person and long skirt make me look even more tiny usually but gosh, that skirt?! I look like so much taller in it. I love it so so much. I need to make a few more of it
Everything you make is so glorious! Thank you for showing us all the hidden layers and secrets
Weren't they called leg o mutton sleeves?🤔
Oh my gosh, that adjustment trick just saved me so much work on future designs!!
Also that dress is so beautiful!!!! :)))
I'm so glad! And thank you!
you have such a lovely smile Sewstine!
The dress Anne wears when Recites the Highway Man.... I so so soooo want to see a recreation of that dress... i love it
what a beautiful checked fabric
Historically Inspired
Sweet video... thank you !
"my make up is just chanel" like it's a drugstore brand 😂
The hat just makes it look even more amazing in an instant :D
You are so cute! I love your videos!
This was such a fun video.
Major fall vibes!
I love this outfit!
I had to move my button on mine too
love the concept of a sleeve hoop. lmao. it makes sense in context, but just sounds so silly. The outfit looks great!
Thank you August! It IS crazy, isn't it? But it works!
@@Sewstine where can i get the plastic hoops
Ah yes, the "uh-oh" phase.
Video starts at 11:00
BTW, there are some bow watch brooches to hang your watch from in the store
That's a great suggestion! Thank you!
Anne would be drooling... I’m sorry, I mean I’m drooling! I love your work so much!
This is so entertaining and interesting. Thank you!

Should make 1660s style petticoat breeches. That would be 👌🔥 Perhaps with a matching doublet?
