I Made a Tudor Kirtle | Another Renaissance Pre Corset and Stays Foundation Garment

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- The kirtle is the other corset or stays precursor in this series and is the final undergarment! This gave me so much trouble because I .... didn't do a fitting of the skit which was a bad decision. But it turned out ok in the end and I'm really happy with how it looks! The beading especially is so pretty and sparkly so despite all the stress. My pattern and process are from the Tudor Tailor and is pretty much the only place I could find any sources on making this garment.

I don't know why, but in the reveal you look very much elfin, must be the hair. 😍 The fabric is very pretty, despite being evil, and the beading is lovely, too. Baby Bat is such a good diligent helper, no idea how you manage get anything done.😅 Looking forward for the next part of this beautiful project!
ah thank you!! i think it is the hair haha but I appreciate it either way! she's a very good helper, good at helping right on top of my fabric
The beading on the already textured fabric looks really good!
thank you so much!
You need decoy cloth piles, for cats. This is cloth cats can lay on, that is not the sewing at hand. :)
haha then she just moves to whichever I’m paying the most attention to 😅
I need this for my cat lol
Clothes fresh from the dryer seem to be a great cat "magnet" !
The Kitty footage is exactly the kind of content we need with sewing. Love this. Well done!
yess haha baby bat definitely makes the videos 😊
Absolutely beautiful as ever! I am in awe of the level of detail you achieve in every layer and I cannot wait to see this whole costume finished!
thank you so much! aah haha I love doing tedious tasks it's my favorite part of sewing
Your beading is gorgeous! I don’t know that I would have had the patience. The gown is pretty as can be. I am sure the next layer is going to be even more gorgeous
thank you! haha i actually really love beading, it gives me some time to sit and chill
The kirtle is absolutely beautiful. Great job. You made another amazing and peaceful video too. Thank you.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I discovered that a Renaissance faire was being held later this month was only a 4 hour drive away, so I decided to make myself a dress…I picked up the Tudor Tailor book & I got dark blue velvet, a white satin (with a lilac/silver tint) and decided I wanted the diamond pattern for the fore skirt.
Out of curiosity I started watching TH-cam videos on Tudor dresses and was amazed when I saw almost the exact same dress I was about to make!
I also have the same curtains and my cat behaves the same way!
I’m going to have to binge the rest of the outfit now!
I literally cannot overstate how much I Adore your videos. The vibes are so lovely and your sewing is just beautiful. The tip about using linings that give the same undertone (even if they're a bit hodgepodge and stash busting) is a really good one.
I find myself just sort of talking to Baby Bat on impulse sometimes, just sort of "Oh hello sweet girl! Look at you!" "Aww, participating!" "Biiiiigggg stretch" and such things. Her little chirps and trills are so lovely.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this project progress, and enjoy seeing how each piece comes together in the reveal. The lace on your chemise is so pretty! Even this many videos later it still gives me motivation for my lace insertion project. (Even if I may have gone just a Tiiiinnnyyy bit mad with power and might be considering crocheting some lace for it myself...)
thank you so much this is so nice of you to say! yess baby bat is definitely the star haha, she gets in the way sometimes but I absolutely wouldn't have it any other way 😊 oooh crochet lace is so cool!! i really want to give it a try someday, but need to improve on regular crocheting first haha. if you post your work anywhere please tag me!
I can't believe I didn't comment on this when i watched it years ago, but im coming back to it because I am making my own kirtle from the Tudor Tailor as well and I remembered that you have done one! So excited!
Honestly I appreciate this video SO much. When I was making my kirtle for a Maleficent cosplay there were essentially no helpful videos on them but between you and Samantha Bullat (also technically me but y'alls videos are way more helpful LOL) there's so much more info for people who want to try making this stuff now.
ah thank you! yeah there's really not much information out there! the tudor tailor book has been the only really solid reference I can find and I've been referring to Samantha Bullat's videos a lot too 😊
@@moth.faerie I used the Tudor Tailor book too and I wish I had had more information for some of it. You skipped the most confusing parts of the Kirtle that I had trouble with which was honestly so smart lol. Can’t wait to see the gown next!!
@@akaanika ah yeah I kind of went with more of the petticoats instructions than the kirtle since the kirtle instructions got a little convoluted 😅
Margo Anderson also has patterns for kirtles (& etc) which are good
This series has been so wonderful to watch/listen to while I’m working on my own sewing! So calming and relaxing, and I can’t wait to see the finished costume!
ah i'm so glad you like it! what are you working??
When your worried that all the layers will make it ripple to much. Add 1/4-1/2” per seam. The extra bulk will fill in the excess. I did this with a 1890’s coat I was making. As I fitted it to me in my under things. But added 1/2” to all the seams. As I was adding extra layers for warmth. Including a quilted layer. Turned out perfect. I was making it for hunting. So I had lots of extra space for multiple layers. It also still fits well over everyday wear.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love it!
Thank you!!
Very pretty! I love the beading. Can't wait to see the outer layer!
thank you!!
Ugggggg this is brutally exquisite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much!
Love it!!! 😍 So exciting to see it all coming together.
Thank you! Yess so exciting to see something that’s a full piece rather than individual parts 😊
Super cute! The beading is gorgeous as always! So excited to see the outer garments!
thank you!! ❤️❤️
Beautiful kirtle and also this video was just lovely. So relaxing to watch. 💚💚
thank you so much!
im loving every video in this series!!!!
ah thanks! more will be coming eventually 😅
@@moth.faerie take your time!!! It's hard work and the digitizing process sounds like a handful ... i feel like i would've thrown the machine out of the window the third time it jammed
Thank you for sharing! I just found your channel and it is both interesting, inspiring and beautiful!
thank you for watching!
Really great video! You looked great and the beading was beautiful!
thank you so much!
It’s amazing!! 🤩🤩
thank you!
This is gorgeous work!
thank you!
This is such a beautiful garment. You are very talented!
thank you so much!
I think you did a great job! It looks beautiful!
ah thank you so much!
Just found your channel and I love this! The beading is amazing. I loved the history behind the clothes and seeing how you troubleshot issues along the way. Thanks!
thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
What a lovely assistant you have. Your beading looks amazing. The blue pops so nicely. I can't wait to see the finished project.
haha she's a very good assistant, thank you for watching!!
This outfit alone alr looks so pretty! Amazing work!
aw thank you!
Just found this channel, love it!! This kirtle is gorgeous
ah thank you for watching!!
I'm so glad that this popped up in my recommended and found your channel 🥺 Your cinematography and work is amazing!
Aw thank you so much!
Wow this is so beautiful! I just discovered your channel and am blown away by your video making skills, as well as the sewing. Very nice to sit and sew along with. I think I need to make one of these for myself someday.
thank you so much! yess definitely you should make one!
Looks amazing! Proceeding to binge watch the rest of your videos 🥰. Sending love and fangirling from Sydney. Wish i can sew like you
aw thank you so much! haha it's a lot of practice so definitely possible for you to get there!
when i saw you start the beading my jaw DROPPED oh my goodness i would never have the patience!! gosh but it looks SO GOOD at the end it was really worth it!
thank you!
"Piecing is period" !
Amazing job ! So much work but it looks magical !
piecing in 4 different colors is debatably period haha but it worked out in the end!
The kirtle is so pretty!!!
thank you!
It's so pretty! And the beading is lovely, I cannot resist sparkle 💙 (also, as a random aside, I really love the pink and gold mug you were drinking out of in the clip where you were handsewing by the window!)
thank you so much! and yess I love that mug, my bf has a matching blue and gold one, we got them at a local coffee shop so I don't know who the artist is unfortunately, I want to buy like 10 more of them!
That beading is beautiful!
thank you!
OMG!!! The cinematography of your video is amazing, you are gorgeous, the nice cutting ASMR is so soothing, and the END RESULT!!! OH GOODNESS!! (and also the amazing kitty content
thank you so much for watching and for the really sweet comment! I'm glad you liked the video!
Great video, thanks. Very informative.
thank you for watching!
@@moth.faerie Thanks. 😊
That's really beautiful work - go easy on yourself. Well done. Hope 'new' year and the holidays were good for you guys.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
thank you 💕😊 new year is going well, we're traveling to see Micah's parents soon so holidays are a little belated for us
@@moth.faerie My sister used to be a nurse on rotation. The celebration is when you say it is. If the calendar lines up it is a happy coincidence. Travel well, travel safely, safe there, safe back, much fun in between. And, with any luck, you won't be recording one of those Karen incidents (honestly fellow middle-aged women, you're embarrassing the rest of us, go for a walk and hush until your heat flash passes... honestly).
Yeah, our 'new' year is going well. Mister Husband is settling back into pastoral work after his first holiday in about a decade. So, that was nice. He's an Anglican Deacon; the past 10 have been formation and Masters.
Right now I'm slightly impatiently waiting for my vintage leather tools to arrive from across the ebay boarder. Because if we gotta do another lockdown I'm coming out of it with a skill. And with any luck, a purse that is full of pockets that just, you know, somehow, for some reason, looks like a Hermes Birkin. Because if you're gonna aim at the King... why not aim for the work to follow in the footsteps of people with a pension plan.
The slits on the sites are perfect for pockets! They look like little bags that are bound around the waist with small bands. I recommend sewing pockets :)
someday I'll get around to sewing some pockets!
That turned out so beautiful. You looked amazing 😍 I have to pull out my copy of the Tudor Tailor now and make myself one. Maybe not quite as elaborate. I don't have the patience for that much beading. Might I suggested a thimble to save finger when it comes to all that hand stitching. I can't wait to see the completed over dress ❤️❤️❤️
aw thank you so much! you definitely should make one! ah haha I do have multiple thimbles they just always seem to go missing the moment I need them..
I wonder if using some stays in the support layer bodice (the petticoat bodice) would give you a smoother effect. There's a bit of "crumpling" occurring in the tummy area of your bodice. When I made my bodice, I put 'stay' channels all along the front of the bodice in a double linen layer. On top of that I put the sturdy buckram layer, then a layer of wool (all of those layers were cut 1/2" short of the top and side edges). I then sandwiched those layers between the bodice lining and outer (face) fabric.
Voila....it's flexible but firm, and the stays don't show because they are under the wool layer and outer fabric.
Check out seamstress and historian, Samantha Bullat for more detailed construction with a sense of the practical.
I really love watching your videos, with your kitty, the rain, the music, and your explanations. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love the beading! I know it probably took a ton of time but it is very pretty. :) ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
omg it took ages haha but thank you!
the kitty made this ten times better
she does that for my life generally too
Mom: "C'mon Baby, you're TH-cam famous!"
Babybat: "Halp!"
And I know I promised you a all-in-one crinoline, but I can't put my hands on my original drawing, so I'll have to redo it and post that on my Tumblr, so people can access it. Soon, hopefully.
Otherwise, kudos for your patience with the beading!
One little thing: When I did my own Tudor gown, one thing I did put down in a special pocket in front of the kirtle was a busc... aka nothing short of a wooden plank that will stiffen the front of the bodice and erase any temptation for the fabric to fold even a tiny little bit and create creases (the horror!)
It would be quite easy to add to your existant garment and give it that very rigid look of Tudor bodices, I think. It is also easier to work on a more rigid surface if you want to add some hefty jewellery later on that front.
, acts a bit like scaffolding.
ah no worries, no rush at all! ooh maybe i'll do that if creasing bothers me with the final dress, thank you!!
HOW ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED ?
I love the beading! its so cute! and the way that the skirt looks at the end is amazing! this was so informative! I'm interested in the process of making the buckram...I also love seeing you actually wearing the under kirtle! are you liking it as an everyday wardrobe piece?
thank you so much! I went more in depth with the process of making the buckram in the petticoat video from two weeks ago 😊I do like it! it's a little annoying that the straps fall off a lot, but that happens with my normal clothes too haha
I call one of my cats Baby Bat too! I'd love to see a close up of all the beadwork and your process
yay twin bats! do you mean the beading process or the general process?
I am here for the cats. :)
Haha tbh who isnt
I love the ability to use up stash fabric for undergarments, it's always so satisfying to see the hoard shrink and become wearable things. I have some stash fabric waiting to become things and I just keep... getting... sidetracked... >.<
Also, the way a Tudor bust line hits is just yaaass! But I'm also a sucker for a square neckline... so... 🤷♀️
ah yes I'm constantly trying to use up fabric I have way too much! square neckline is so underrated omg
This comment may be weird for this video but I am new here and I am a bit odd, so.....
You would look really great with elf ears. Thank You for sharing, and have a very lovely day!
Hey I'm just wondering where you got the Beautiful blue beads I just love watching your videos I always learn something new thank you so much for all the work you do and keep it up
I got them from fire mountain gems! thank you for watching!
oh it's gorgeous!!! at 20:44 you kinda remind me of an elf with the background and that pose
this is probably the best compliment I've ever gotten thank you
The fabric is gorgeous but not nearly as gorgeous as your beading. Amazing work as always
ah thank you so much! ❤️😊
Hello, when you redid the kirtle did you use the Tudor tailor pattern or Angela Clayton's? Of you switched, which Tudor tailor pattern did you use? They have multiple 😅
This is soooo gorgeous! I’m absolutely in love with the beading and wanna try and make something like that too! How big are the beads you used?
thank you! I believe the seed beads were size 11, and the drops are 16x9mm
@@moth.faerie thank you sooo much!!!
What do you make your stiffening glue out of?
Hey, I totally get if you don't want to share this, but where did you buy your fabric? I live in the middle of the midwest, and there aren't many good apparel fabric stores near me. You always seem to source the coolest fabric, and I would love to try my hand at making a kirtle for a ren faire next year. Sorry if this is a bother! Yours turned out beautifully!!
the decorative fabric I used this time was from fabric.com! I get a lot of my fabric from mood fabrics, silk baron, and various other places - linen from fabrics-store.com, wool from burnley and trowbridge, B black and sons, and mood, it kind of depends what I'm looking for! Etsy is also a really great place to find stuff though the fiber content label isn't always accurate. I also try to go fabric shopping if I'm visiting a place I know has good fabric stores like LA, NYC, or Chicago.
@@moth.faerie thank you so much!!!
The trick to getting dressed yourself in the kirtle is longer strings. They should be long enough to completely open the sides without unlacing. The term around faire is "god awful" long
Aah I actually filmed myself talking about this but cut it- I’m entirely out of corset lacing and ended up cutting an existing lace I had in half 😅 I definitely need to order more but the place I was already ordering from told me they were out of stock after I had placed my order so I’m waiting until my next corset project
Can you use a hoop skirt instead of a farthingale
You look so cute in this!
aah thank you so much! 😊
Your project is fabulous! It looks very complicated and dificult. You must have studied a lot, and put a lot of effort into it. I wish the video close ups on your sewing were a little longer so that we could see how you are putting it together.
thank you! aah I will keep that in mind about the longer clips, it's definitely a balance between keeping the video moving but also showing everything, plus I try to keep the videos around 25 minutes long!
Twirling in the rain like that made you look like a forest nymph. :}
aw thank you!!
Pockets to nowhere
But what if, BIG pockets!
Ye Olde pockets on a string would still be reachable under the skirt layers?
haha i definitely want to do pockets eventually!!
I’m always looking for folks making historical clothing. Thank you for joining that wonderful group. I do wonder why you’re making two support garments. It’s just adding extra bulk and is not historically accurate. I understand that this is for a cosplay but you’re doing so much hand work and going to extra effort in some ways like with the buckram.
Some of your intro for a kirtle is also inaccurate. A kirtle is just a word for dress. It doesn’t mean a 13th cen dress is the same as a 16th cen dress. They function differently and are made very differently. We just modernly use the same word for them.
I did two support garments bc that was what was mentioned in a video about kirtles by Burnley and Trowbridge and I trusted their expertise as I'm not super familiar with this time period. I thought trying the buckram would be an interesting experiment and I had fun doing it! So I think it was worth the effort. My channel is more about sharing techniques I've learned throughout my schooling and career and experimenting with new ones as I learn more.
As for the kirtle meaning the same thing for different time periods I literally just took that from the Wikipedia article on kirtles! It says "Kirtles began as loose garments without a waist seam, changing to tightly fitted supportive garments in the 14th century. Later kirtles could be constructed by combining a fitted bodice with a skirt gathered or pleated into the waist seam."
