I Made the Striped Dress from Sleepy Hollow using Markers || 18th century Sewing Meets Tim Burton

- Did you know that the original dress in the Sleepy Hollow movie was made with magic markers? After having failed to make this dress three times before, I was determined to get it right! I used plain ivory silk taffeta and a whole army of markers in order to make this dress.
Please note that this movie was sponsored by @babylocksewing , for whom I am an ambassador, as well as @Beatrice Forms who kindly sent me a dress form for use in this video (and future ones for sure).
The Beatrice Dress form is from beatriceforms.... . I have been really lucky to only work with sponsors I realy believe in; and as soon as I saw how awesome this one was, I purchased a second one for my Victorian corset.

Hi! I'm South Asian and I just wanted to say, it's really lovely to see an Asian making and wearing historical clothing! I often feel a little nervous about trying to historybound, but I absolutely love your confidence and you're such a talented person. You really inspire me! Thank you for all you do
There is absolutely no reason for you not to wear whatever you want to. People have always travelled and there were Asians in every part of the world throughout history. The Silk Route alone brought East and West together in amazing ways. Dress however you like and if anyone gives you problems, send them to me and I will show them reams of documentation to back you up. :)
Colleen Atwood is a great designer and I’m sure she’d be very proud of your project!
Edit: this is a joke, I love both women and I think they both do amazing videos. I was just joking about how Bernadette in past videos said she preferred hand sewing to machine sewing.
Sewstine: I will never hand seam a large piece of fabric by hand
Bernadette Banner: ????
@@argusfleibeit1165 I just saw this comment, and just wanted to say that this is no way a dig at Sewstine. I think she is amazing and I do not care what types of methods historical customer use to finish their work. It was just a light hearted joke about how Bernadette in videos past said she preferred hand sewing as as supposed to using a sewing machine. Sorry that it came across as me pitting the two of them against each other.
The dress you made looks almost exactly like the one in the movie! You did such a great job!
Thank you!!
@@Sewstine You are very welcome!
The amount of detail work you did is stunning! I adore your finished piece and all of the steps you shared. Well done!
just wow.. and then she dared handle snacks, a toddler and a dog! FEARLESS!
Wow, this turned out amazing, you did such a great job! :D
a victorian coat build would be really cool to watch!
Oooh! That's an interesting idea!
Great Job! I enjoyed watching !
After all of that, you want more dress ideas?!?
Ok. Take a break from the live action and try a Disney princess garment. No, not that one.
April's first garment that she fashion out of broken and tattered ship sails. Something absurd, laugh worthy and let's face it, most likely made from shower curtains.
I applaud you for everything! The making, the modeling, the construction and finishing are stunning to put it mildly. Brava!
Its beautiful!!
Absolutely amazing!
I had to laugh at that Surprise Pin™ xD We've all been there! Also, I remember your Zatanna costume!
the amount of skill 0.0
Stop being so flippin' amazing, you're making the rest of us look bad.
(Jk, NEVER STOP!)
Says the woman who just made a bustle chair!
Aideen Delahunt literally what I was just thinking 😆
No, no. I went and had a look. Your work is amazing!
You did it!!! I love how we all have That One Gown that started it all and remains an obsession. You did SUCH A BEAUTIFUL JOB of this! It's so cool seeing you make your historical sewing dreams come true.
Thank you Cathy!! This really is MY one gown, isn't it!? Huh! I didn't even realize really! But this is my peacock dress!
"May I highly recommend using a trained individual, such as a husband..." You know, I've been to three fabric stores, and none had any husbands in stock! Great recreation. What an amazing process.
ROFL! thank you!
Oh I thought I was SUPER smart and called some alterations shops. First response - "What is a mock up?" Second response - "We only work on clothes". Off to Lowes for a really big mirror. Brass Pro Shop for a big net. Google analytics for when "Husband" shops my local fabric store.....
I got mine in the SCA. Loads of men who also love costumes and history, may sew already, and will certainly not object to major expenditure and geekery in this vein.
Given her dress form woes I want Bernadette Banner to know of this custom dress form company. I cannot imagine how life changing such a thing would be.
Yes! Totally!!
I thought the exact same thing!
My life change would be bankruptcy, at $1500 I think I need to pass but I am wanting to down the route of a dress form from Bootstrap that’s still custom but you put it together yourself, at $25 - $37 (not including a stand, stuffing etc which isn’t a huge expense) and plus the satisfaction of sewing it, I’m in!
If you ask me, the true magic to this gown is knowing that Sewstine has a full time job as well as a toddler and still had an exorbitant amount of undisturbed time to draw stripes as well as pattern draft and design custom embroidery for a near perfect replication of one of my favorite theatrical gowns to date. :)
Thank you Meescha!! Eee!
Ooh yes absolutely amazing, tell me your secret of time management
Is mindblowing!!
Yes! How does she manage her time?!
@@Leelominai child care. she's said it's hard during covid tho. p sure she's a doctor, too.
Racheal Maksy is having a stroke
💯 she is lol. I loved hers too though. I love Rachel
Please! When I saw Rachel about to do hers with markers a little piece of my soul died...I’m glad she decided against it and went for the striped fabric. The dedication it would take!
@@ContentConfessional me too.
@@ecassity1 I love Rachel too! But this video deserves as many likes and as much love as hers!
The dress is incredible, of course! But can we also talk about how freaking cute the dresses and aprons she's wearing in the intro and outro are?!
Yeah, if you notice she wears them in nearly all her videos! I wonder if that's just her personal style choice or if there is a cultural/religious reason for it. Either way I do agree it's supper cute and I'm tempted to make a few for myself.
@@jessicahope3788 They're all personal style, and at least the purple one is from Little Women Atelier. There's this post on Insta about it instagram.com/p/CCt3gJYgggL/
My intentions in life: sewstine
My reality: Rachel Maksy.
Not mad about it.
Seriously thought. Both are beautiful and epic.
Task failed successfully!
I watched Rachel's video first and the whole time I thought exactly this, even before actually watching this to confirm my theory!
@Aster Sylvestris perfect comment lmao
They ran out of sharpies or interns by this point. Lol. I love it.
Imagine a future dress historian finding your dress and conclude, "sharpie is period."
I love the experimental process of this project, and it turned out so beautiful!
With additional scholarly commentary later confirming that, "Upon closer examination of this dress, it appears the maker, whoever they were, attempted to use two different formulae of painted dyes; while we conjecture the maker had a preference for one used in abundance over the other, it would seem, given the period this dress was made, in fact, right around the time of the Millennium Plague, the supply of the preferred dye dried up, as is evident in the lack of green striping on the ruffles and an incomplete application to the stripes on the skirt, and the maker was forced to finish what little was left with the ubiquitous formula of brushed-on dye they had to hand. This period of creativity was rife with examples of resourceful substitutions, from culinary endeavours to scrap wood furniture etc. etc...."
@@elfieblue3175 you killed me
"My friend 'sewcialist revolution' " caught me off-guard SO MUCH lol! Gotta look'em up later!
She is fantastic!! :D
It’s the best handle I have ever come across. Ever.
@@katherinemorelle7115 Haha Glad you like it!
I wonder wether the dress was white but they decided it wasn’t ‘burton’ enough 🤔
Just one pressing question: When do you sleep????
LOL! When I'm post call. :)
I have hand striped any number of costumes as a theatrical designer. Doing this much without a crew is absolutely astounding, and the end product is amazing.
Wow I didn't know this was common. Why is this done this way?
@@Dontboxmein7 I don't think it is terribly common. I work with a lot of smaller theaters, so budget wise its often easier to purchase pieces and change them. Also, I work in a smaller market and don't have a garment district at hand. Sometimes I just can't find the type and color of striped fabric I need to make my designs happen. As an artistic choice done the way it's done here? Beyond the usual budget or even prep time of most of the productions I work on. But it sure is fun to drool over the results. I especially loved seeing her previous versions, and how they compare.
Do you use generally fabric paint or something else?
@@carolw9910 fabric paint or fabric markers. Paint is quicker, markers have more control.
@@cjmantel6026 my thoughts on this all were "why not assemble the dress and THEN colour the stripes so they end up exactly where you want them."
Is there any reason you can think of that this approach would not work?
This dress is absolutely mesmerising!! Any chance you could release a pay-for pattern pdf for it? That would be wonderfully helpful!
And also, a thank you mention for all of your services in the medical field as of late 💕
That's an interesting idea! I only have the one size for it currently (32 bust, 26 waist) but perhaps people will find it useful as a starting off point.
@@Sewstine it would be extremely helpful! Of course, every pattern is never a perfect fit even in ones size so altering is kinda expected at least for me, but as a starting base? It would be great! Thank you for replying! x
Love this idea. Then again I'd likely only have to add a few inches in length. Looks like my measurements and build is really close to Sewstine's.
@@Sewstine You could get ideas on making the patterns from Bella Mae designs she also sells the patterns of her projects....
But truly an amazing work !!
@@Sewstine that would be great idea and very helpful.
This is utterly gorgeous - you can absolutely see how much love went into it
Thank you! I really appreciate that you can see the joy and love that went into making it; I try to put that into everything but hopefully it was super visible with the marker. ;)
How you heal people, have a child AND MAKE THIS is beyond me! You're kind of like a Faerie queen that doesn't have to sleep.
Right?? Jesus. She said on Insta that she regularly works 60 hours. PLUS having a family. Someone tell me hoooooowwwwwwww she has the mental energy to even think about doing something like this????
Beautiful dress, your dedication is admirable! I once hand striped a child’s Jack skelington suit and that was a real pain in the ass, so this amount of hand striping is amazing!
Ooooh! That's been on my list for my son!
I did half a suit for two face (villan in batman) took foooorrrevvveeerr
This was astounding! I’m so impressed!
If I had this dress I’d just freaking wear it to the grocery store like, live your best life! Wear what you wanna wear! This video made me very happy
Oh man, I would if I went outside. :D I did take it to the park and stroll around with my son and I got a lot of stares.
@@Sewstine They stare because they're jealous 💁♀️
Girl, this dress was absolutely epic! Absolutely incredible and I love and appreciate all the math and details you've shared with us. Everything came out so beautifully. I'm glad you love it. We're just sitting here in awe of your skill, attention to detail, and passion
Thank you Rebecca! That means a lot! I was afraid the math would get boring but it was so essential in how I thought about how to make this dress.
This dress is on screen for like 6 seconds but has lived in my head for a lifetime, rent free.
This is so perfect. I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️
Me: wow that dress is so cute it must have then forever to make it
Also me: HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE BUTTON UP HER APRON UP THE BACK WHILE IT WAS ON?!?!?!? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?!??!
Your dress actually looks so much better than the film version! The film version looks like a limp noodle in comparison to the stunning beauty you've created! 💕
I’ve been sharing your progress of this dress from Instagram with my family, and though they do not share my interest in historical sewing, even they were blown away. The final dress is astounding. Just stunning, stunning work!!! 😍😍😍 Thanks so much for sharing!
Id love to see you make the green velvet "curtain" gown from Gone with the Wind.
oh yeah....
I'm not processing that you drew this all on by hand
It just looks so perfect. Like, I can tell that you were pleased with your hard work!
When you cut to the almost finished dress on the dress form it took me a second to realize you hadn’t cut to a reference of the original! So cool!
Looking absolutely splendid, its lovely to see the ingenuity, experimentation and fantastic sewing too.
Thank you Constance! Oh man, I really want to know how they did it back then too now!
You managed to line the stripes up when adding on the ruffled edge. Wow!! So satisfying. It does give it a kind of trippy, signature Burton effect. Magnificent job!
💖👑👑💖🎬🎥📽Sewstine l had to this video again you look adoreble with your Son .thank you 💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really enjoyable video!!
I think your microphone was shifting most of the time during your voiceover, however, as I can hear harsh plastic throbbing that sounds like when a plastic hinge is closing due to gravity.
I loved the details that you have included in the making of this dress. I am so jealous of your work table!! The mural on your wall is exquisite! So glad that I stumbled onto your station❤️
I am amazed at your work and exquisite craftmanship! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Husband, the Dressmaker's Assistant. :D The dress is beautiful!
Thank you! Oh man, he's been so helpful. He helps with EVERY set of sleeves!
Just divine. I wouldn't know how to act if I had this dress
I feel like dancing and just living in that dress tbh!
Constantly impressed by your ability to “read” extant garments and deduce how they were made! What a beautiful gown. I hope you get to wear it often :)
I'm so glad to have stumbled on this channel. This dress was gorgeous. I also love the more casual clothing you wear. would you do tutorials on that? I'm just starting out and looking for more chill pieces to make. keep it up!!
Love the dress. I really enjoyed the technical aspect of how you approach your projects and appreciate the math and such.
Hehehe! I really appreciate you saying you liked the math since I was afraid it would be too boring. I even cut a lot of it out too regarding how I figured out how to double the width and such. XD
Beautiful job! Bravo! The reasoning behind the green lines, you are correct, it is a trick for the camera to differentiate between the white and black to better pick up the sharp crisp lines on camera without accidentally blurring the two colors during movement. The off- white is an old theater trick. Because often with theater and filming, the actors tend to be under large bright spot lights which can be washed out with bright white fabrics being lit up. So an off- white fabric is better suited for the eyes. And it comes off as white on camera and on stage. We're learning these things in my costume design classes in college. I love your attention to detail. I personally would have gone to just straight up hand painting with a soft pliable acrylic paint myself just because I'm OCD about even colors. I'm pretty sure they still used fray check. Because I use an old paint brush to apply it lightly to frayed on purpose edges to create that texture. But I do like the rustic appeal of the different shades of black with the markers as they kind of give that hand drawn in with pencil-look. Like when we sketch and the coloring in of stripes would look like a bunch of sticks or lines of different shades of darks and lights together to create a look. And Tim Burton is known to tend to create characters with varied sticks or lines etched into their costumes somewhere. Like in corpse bride with the stripes in the suits. Or Beetlejuice the character himself being carried over with this striped dress. Very cool. Trim off those strings! You have a close up of all of them on camera at the end there. Lol. Thank you so much for sharing this. Stay safe out there.
Absolutely loved the end when you showed off the finished dress, it was incredible!!! This video just made me smile beginning to end.
This dress is absolutely stunning, I am in awe of the work that went into it, and how beautifully it turned out! 💖💖💖
You are a beautiful little genius 💖👑💖😊 stunning xx
I gasped a little when you said you sewed the entire length of trim on by hand. Incredible dedication and workmanship!
You are so so so talented, and determined. Excellent work!
So good! Great video, great result!
I would LOVE to see someone make just about any of the dresses in a drama series made in 1995 called 'The Buccaneers' (an adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel), which I coveted so much at the time! You can even find it here on TH-cam! Thanks :)
This dress seems popular enough with makers that companies could make a killing by releasing a reproduction of it (marker texture on the black sections included) even if it's just a cotton print or recycled polycotton. I know I don't have the time or patience to colour in fabric like this for something I wouldn't be wearing all the time, but if I could get the fabric, I'd definitely think about doing a modernised version of the dress for day-to-day casual cosplay fun!
this would have been a PERFECT halloween costume! I love this movie so much, this is an amazing re-creation of this iconic dress :D
This is absolutely incredible! I really admire your attention to detail and appreciate the effort you put into recreating this dress. By the way, when you showed the street scene from Sleepy Hollow it suddenly hit me that it reminded me of the painting, “Paris Street; Rainy Day,” by Gustave Caillebotte, or of a Tissot painting. Also, thanks for the book recommendation!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful. I could use someone with your skill to help me. My creations look good,but not that good.,
I love the fact that you have black hair, it makes the black and white look even more striking! 🖤
Eee! Thank you! I did contemplate wearing a blonde wig with this, but I leave the makeup and wigs to the experts like Rachel Maksy!
This turned out amazing! You put so much hard work into this. The lace detail, gettin the stripes measured out. So good!
On a side not & not to sound mean, I really suggest you invest in a microphone arm & shock mount as it stops all the noise every time you even touch the table when you're talking. you can get both for under $50 total. The shock mount is to most important piece. Check out what gamers use. The mount that yeti mics come with pick up every vibration when you so much as brush against the table.
Hey Christine, I was rewatching a favorite film of mine and after seeing this I wanted to recommend it to you. It's called Young Catherine. (i apologize ahead of time for the lengthy comment coming next lol) i wont spoil the plot but i will reveal some of my favorite costumes i saw. it was released in 1991, it's a two part movie and the 18th century costumes in that film. a lot on a favorite style i've heard you mention a few times in past videos. it also has other styles like the Robe de cour. All I can say is this.. if those dresses from the film were candy mouths would water floods. The two main characters with the best costumes were Catherine and Empress Elizabeth. Elizabeth's solid white gown and then her gold and ivory gown were my top favorite and the panniers were medium to huge There was one dress Catherine wears That I've nicknamed the 18th century mermaid dress. It's only in two scene. one where Catherine meets her fiancee who presents her with a present and another where she visits him after he's recovered from a small pox. It's all these silver and blues and the layers have a sorta round drapery that makes me think of sea shells and fish scales all at the same time. there is a pink dress worn by the wife of the villain in the film that i like and dislike. it's seen in episode 2 and i love how it's covered in a thousand bows all over the entire skirt but the bodice is so simple it feels unfinished and looks like two different fabrics in conclusion i love the skirt but not the bodice. Elizabeth also wears men's style of dress on occasion but it's tailored for a more feminine look and the first one we see is this chocolate, caramel, gold with lace. In conclusion i wanted to recommend it to you the costumes are so beautiful it might inspire a lot of new creative ideas. :)
oh my god this is astounding... my vote for a historical movie costume recreation would be the light green dress michelle pfeiffer wears in the age of innocence, that's my dream dress
My favorite channel.
I would like to request a tutorial on how to make the chemise that you are wearing throughout most of the video.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
I love seeing the dedication in you you replicating this dress to movie accuracy well done, the yellow dress you wear in the beginning beginning of the video is beautiful too I wish you had a video on that one too, you are what dreams are made of you rock 🤩
Finally got time to watch your video and Rachel’s and I LOVE how both of you had such different ways to make this dress. You put so much work into it, I love it
YES!! That is the dress form that I NEED because I have a small torso and wide hips - I’m diamond shaped. This is going to be what I’ll be investing in after we refinance our house. Thank you so much for turning me on to this vendor.
Your dress turned out spectacularly. I love it so much!
I would love a video on how you make your pinafores - if you do make your own pinafores.
You are truly amazing - how you find the time and energy to do all of this with such a demanding career is astounding. Thanks for being such an inspiration and sharing your skill and devotion with us!
Thank you Lark!!
This is absolutely amazing! Congratulations 🥳 it looks perfect! Even more beautiful than the original! I cannot believe how much work went into this!
your gorgeous yellow dress reminds me vaguely of the chemise a la reigne, is that the inpiration and did you make it yourself? its really pretty
This just as incredible and so helpful! This has been my dream dress and i'll attempt to make this for next year, thank you so much for all your research on this🙏❤️
Oooh! I so hope you do! I personaly really enjoyed the process and hope you do too! Thank you!
Elspeth AND Gideon? I’m smelling a fan of Theros
Bravo! This project is so insane, good job with it!!! Love the final dress :)
Thank you so much!!! It was insane but oddly therapeutic.
This is so amazing! So much dedication! ❤️
“In my twenties “
I’m the only one who thought she’s in her twenties now?😅❤
Aww! Thank you!
Would you mind sharing the equation for stripes to clothing size ratio
I would love a video, in wich you explain the making of the yellow dress. It looks so good!!!
Well done lady!!! I think the best part of this was seeing your inner teenage fangirl glowing through your smile. You could see the dream come true for you and that's truly magical.
This was such a treat to watch from beginning to end with your journey making this dress. I did laugh for a good second when you mentioned the army of interns getting roped into scribbling lines with sharpie. And how high off of fumes they must've been lol. Since I did see usage of the babylock series- I would love to ask for reccomendations for the beginner sewer. I know the entry level such as the babylock zest is popular but the Jubilant has caught my eye.
So it depends on what you're looking for in a machine. I do love the Zest as it's very beginner friendly. The zest is also just super strong and a fantastic workhorse. If you do have the cash, I like the computerized machiens like the Jubiant better since you can have better control with stitch length. :) Good luck!!
@@Sewstine Thank you for the pointers! :)
All the math made me disassociate so bad😵 But a brief pause and choosing to ignore all the numbers flying around set me back in line😅 The project came out beautifully! It actually does look better than the movie version as the shape is so much nicer!💗
Such a beautiful and painstaking process! The time and care you put into this project really shows through in the finished garment. Wonderful job!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
This came out GORGEOUS! It looks spectacular on you as well! For other movie inspired costumes, might I suggest some of Kiara Knightley's gowns from "The Other Boleyn Sister"? Her green gown near the end is magnificent and the ending is absolutely heart-rending.
This is my dream dress as well. If you ever decide to release the pattern or anything I'd be first in line! Thank you so much for all of this amazing information! I can't wait to make this dress!
Hi, this is the first video I've seen of you but i already love you
what a gorgeous result! i love how you were able to recreate the lace perfectly using your embroidery machine!
I loved seeing your drafting process, thank you so much for sharing this!
Hey @sewstine! I'm curious about the yellow dress you have on here as you work. I love the shape of it! Is there a pattern that you used? Did you buy it? Or did you just base it off of a chemise a la reina and go for it?
The yellow dress is by Linennaive - I bought it too after first seeing Sewstine wear it on Instagram and I can highly recommend! It’s a magical dress :)
This is amazing! And thank you for your work in the hospital right now. I'm glad this project could provide some much needed distraction.
The nice thing is, this is a well made durable dress, not just some fast fashion merch.
Looks awesome!
Just. Wow!
hi Christine, I love your channel!!! I wanted to ask you about the back wall of your sewing studio, where did you have that wallpaper (is it wallpaper) made, the one with Fragonard's Swing? I love it and would love to have one myself... thanks
Hi! It's from Limitless Walls; I got the canvas one and it worked beautifully! And thank you!!
This was absolutely remarkable
You had my attention with the dress. When the dog came in, you had my subscription.
Eee! Thank you! I'll thank Gideon too.
@@Sewstine Please do! And just know, this video was such a pleasure to watch. Major sewing room envy
This is the best sewing channel on TH-cam!! And you like Magic The Gathering?! Girl, save some awesome for the rest of us!
Wow, thank you!!! :D
How on earth do I justify my need for that dress form? Omgosh... it would make such a difference in everything I see for myself.
I’m a new subscriber today. Love your cottage wear.
☮️❤️☕️-Kirsten
Thank you Kirsten!! Also, it’s such a fantastic dress form!
