    I was very inspired by your work and the ball at Versailles. Now I really want to go! I have been doing historical costumes since the 70s. I found the best fabric to make my dress. It’s a hand block printed Voile. I haven’t done rococco yet, so this will be a fun challenge. Your channel has been great, and I love your embroidery designs on Etsy. Thank you for sharing!

  • @centurycountess4949

    i made a more simple low budget one of these dresses during the quarantine era as an experiment and i did make hidden pleating but never knew if that was right when i made it back than but now after watching this video i can say my happy mistake was historically accurate lol.

    • @centurycountess4949
      @centurycountess4949 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@nimuedamon1936 the pattern was a simplicity pattern but it was one designed from American dutchess the same pattern. Can be found in their book on 18th century clothing. The fabric I found from a thrift store. The petticoat was pure satin while the blue was some sort of polyester blend of silky texture fabric.

    I remembered I needed to watch this video when Crescent Shay released her gown video for the event, and the title reminded me of your ball explainer video but not the gown construction video yet 😅

She was able to wear her robe a la francaise through her pregnancy! I no longer own my gowns having given them way when I left California. Now I’m sad I don’t have them anymore😢.
