    I made this skirt and wear it often as everyday clothing. I like the hobbit dress idea! Kinda reminds me of a Russian folk sarafan.

      It is a surprisingly flexible garment! I think you might have stubbled upon a genius project idea an embroidered skirt/traditional sarafan.

    *facepalm* How did I not think about making one of my petticoats into a dress with shoulder straps???? It's so obvious. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
    Aaaaanyways, thank you for sharing this new Historybounding technique with all of us. 😁❤️👍🏻

    Ok the minute you showed you using it as a dress, I had for try it. Why is this outfit the best thing I have ever seen? I feel like an Ancient Greek peasant. I used my matching 18th century pocket as the belt and it’s really working for me. The family is going to think I’m insane lol. I love ir

    I was just browsing through tutorials on 18th century petticoats because I got stuck while sewing mine and when I turned on your video I was immediately caught. It's so pleasant to watch, well-balanced, interesting. Thank you for sharing it, I can't wait to see other parts of the outfit.

    I'm *very* new to historybounding/historical fashion.... so I had no idea about WAIST TAPES?!?!?!? As a plus-size person, I've been trying to figure out what to do with the waist, because I'm trying to get healthier/fitter than body is now.... so I'm expecting there might be weight loss?
    Anyway, I've been working with elastic.... but its not historically accurate and I personally don't always want them in my historical skirts?
    BUT WAIST TIES?!?!? THANK YOU 18th century!!!!! I'll try and do some deeper dives while studying
    (I'm sure this was a no brainer for historical fashion, but pls keep in mind I am a newbie to this, and only hope to improve with practice :) )

      @danhurl1349 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I LOVE WAIST TIES. I’m not plus-sized but my weight tends to fluctuate quite a bit so I love adjustable clothing. The waist tied are the best part, plus it means you have slits in the sides which mean you can wear massive 18th century pockets underneath, which is always a plus

    Etude
    In your blouse-in your skirt in classic romance,
    Your experience tears in the silk of your shawl,
    Your tone in the waving manners of your skirt,
    Flooding muliebrity in moral beauty.
    Your source is cozy warmth in your heart,
    Your sea basin with accompanying passion,
    Swishing your gliding walk in posture,
    In length of waterfall flooding the depth.
    Surrounded by protection of current of your sea,
    By timeless feature of cordial attitude,
    It’s color with hot storm roaring embrace,
    Enchanting infinity in the world of your loyalty.
    It’s material in salient charm of your bosoms,
    In changing relation in windy occasion,
    Feeling your custom evokes you in several ways,
    In humble romance of your profound beauty.

      Yay! Glad you like it. The skirt is super simple. The pleats are probably the hardest part. I'm a bit of a novice myself so go for it! I'm working on the bodice now and it's a bit trickier but do-able.

  • @sarar4901
    @sarar4901 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Do you find that the drawstrings stay put well when not worn over stays? I attempted a similar pleated skirt recently for history bounding, but I chickened out on the ties. I was afraid they would move around too much and either show or be uncomfortable.

    • @katencat
      @katencat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You probably made the right call! They're comfortable, since I have the shift underneath. But one, or both, always tend to peek out after I've worn the skirt for a minute or two. But maybe the bodice would cover up any exposed ties?

    • @sarar4901
      @sarar4901 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@katencat Ah ha! Thank you for confirming my suspicions. At the moment I mostly wear skirts over tucked-in button-downs, so I wouldn't have any cover. Perhaps if I eventually get to the point of making a matching bodice (or stays) I will experiment with the ties.
