The wrapper is absolutely beautiful 😍 The red paisley fabric reminds me very much of a wrapper / dressing gown that my grandmother had. I’m recently a great-grandmother myself, so you can estimate the age of that one! I know she had had it for a long time, so my estimate is that it was Edwardian.
A quick tip for measuring hem length: drop the tape with the zero end downward, that way you are holding the tape end with the actual measurement number at your finger tips. Love the wrapper!
This looks wonderful! It reminds me a bit of the dresses Sarah Chrisman wears. But I wouldn't be too hard because the pattern is more 1880s, I saw in a lot of pictures of lower Middleclass and Workingclass women that they have mixed dresses, skirts, blouses and vests from different times, or made some alterations themselves, so it would be perfectly reasonable, that an 1880s Wrapper would still be worn in 1890s, and maybe a little lace, some new buttons or minor changes in ruffles would have been made.
"Sleeves are difficult" **me flashing back to the Edwardian shirtwaist inspired/historybounding blouse I just finished that fits better in the sleeve backward but not forwards** Ah yes, sleeves, so fun. Your wrapper is too cute.
In the 70's we called this a Maw Maw. And you said "Crazy Train". And "fast sewing" reminds me of the scene from Three Amigos, "Sew! Sew like the wind, old ones!"
May I suggest looking at some extent sleeve patterns many times they were sold as their own thing so women could mix and match with their preferred shirt ect 🙂 beautiful work on the wrapper
Past Patterns has two patterns for Mother Hubbards; one is billed as a nightgown, but with the addition of a belt could be a wrapper. They also have a Ladies’ Wrapper or Tea Gown.
It's so lovely to see it done :) And that lace trim is super cute. Can't wait to see what you do next. Also, thanks again for putting me on to the glory that is The Art of Knitting. I spend far too much time knitting trims for my own projects now and while my wrists hate me, my historybounding heart is happy lol
I absolutely love seeing your Wilcox and Gibbs machine 😍 I love knitting, historical clothing, and have a collection of vintage sewing machines. Your channel is like my dream channel combining them all. I absolutely enjoy your content thank you!
The paisley fabric is such a lovely colour on you and I love the white trim. Would such a day dress be made without pockets or would an apron take their place? H'mmm, down the rabbit hole I go. hahaha
The one on my Singer Confidence does. I prefer to press hems and their turnings before they're sewn. I don't use pins, just my hands to make sure everything is presented flat to the machine.
I am currently trying to interpret the shoulder Cape pattern from the 1891 book "the art of crocheting" (page 81). Unfortunately, I am really struggling with the yoke. Has anyone got suggestions for me? I love your videos. They inspire me a lot. Your wrapper turned out beautifully.

There is the 1890s Morning jacket from Wearing History that can be extended to be a wrapper dress!
I was going to say someone posted a video about it, but unfortunately I can't remember their name!
@@KelseyDrummer It is Redthreaded I believe
@@fitzyfitz95 Right! Thank you!

I love the red also and the crocheted lace is the most perfect embellishment! Very well done.
Ahhh, it's gorgeous! Well done
The lace was a wonderful addition! They add a complementary embellishment to the collar and the cuffs!

Your wrapper is so pretty!!! Love that red fabric and it's so nice with the crochet edging. The view where you live is absoluty fantastic!
Hi, it's lovely and I like the sleeves being more normal you can wear it and nobody would think it's strange or costumey.

Since wrapper are an "at home dress", if they look a bit old fashion( from 10 year early) it'is not a big problem.

OMG that hemming tool is amazing!

It looks so pretty *and* so comfy!!! Also, can we please have modern machine rolled hem attachments that work as well as your antique one? 😭

Woohoo! Congratulations on finishing this amazing project! I was avidly following this series and I'm honestly super proud of you lol ❤️
I've made a wrapper type thing before, and this is making me want to try it again...
That is a really lovely piece of work. I love the lace. Well done.

This is absolutely gorgeous, and the crochet lace was the perfect touch!
If this is 1890-92, the skirt shape is very accurate. This is also homewear, so back then it was meant to be fast and fabric saving
wow it looks so lovely.
Absolutely fantastic!
Far too beautiful for chores.🌷
Sleevils are evil. Such wisdom, so eloquently put.
Beautiful! It looks so comfy :) And the lace really does add a nice touch.
It is so cute! And I love how you added the Lacey bits on!
Never heard of a wrapper before...aaaand now I need one!😍😍😍
Spectacular view! I’m so jealous, I live in Illinois, ugh. Love the wrapper, very pretty.
Great job!
First thought: I love your video background
Okay I LOVE the wrapper and I know already that I need to make one!
That fabric is so pretty! What a lovely and comfy looking dress you have made. I cant help but wonder if it needs pockets though. 🌻
Very nice!
Beautiful 🤩
It is adorable !
Ahhh it is so pretty 😍
How Impressive
Love it!
May you give the crochet pattern for the Crotchet pieces you put on your wrapper.
Thank you

If you are on facebook there are quite a few crocheting groups, maybe someone on there could help?
@@solatiumz good idea, thank you very much
