Your story about not experiencing crushes as a kid and feeling like you had to pick somebody to have a crush on rings so true with me. And then I laughed out loud at "We've all seen Kate Beckinsale." SO TRUE.
When you said, “If you were to answer the door…” I decided I needed to make me one! 🌈🌈🦋🦋 My current robe is a 1970’s pattern using a self quilted bedspread from the same era. It’s amazingly psychedelic.
This coat is very "I'm going to wash one load of laundry today" *proceeds to wash the house coat only* and I'm honestly here for it, the smaller number of individual pieces to wear around the house the better imo
I just made my own "crimson peak" inspired housecoat last month, more along the lines of the green butterfly . If I'm stuck at home I'm gonna do it in fabulous lounge wear.
...and now I have this extremely vivid mental image of thousands of historically-inspired sewists floofing around home in their pandemic lockdowns in fabulous OTT housecoats!! 😂 This definitely needs to be expanded as some kind of wider channel crossover - "Now featuring the fabulous faff-about-wear everyone sewed during the plague era!" 😄
I totally feel you on the growing up ace and not knowing that crushes were like a real thing other people experienced. I really thought we were all just pretending 😂
That reminds me of growing up bisexual and assuming everyone else is too but we just don't mention it for some reason. 😄 Here's to all of us figuring ourselves out and not caring what's expected of us! 💚
I'm in the back half of my 30s and I still think its fake. Like, aesthetically I can be like "this person is pleasing to my eye" but I have zero interest in them otherwise. I am just going to be a cranky old ace person in a rocker with my crochet.
the talk about being ace and not understanding crushes hit home. never really understood it and thought it just meant that you got along with that person and enjoyed hanging out...
This is not “just a housecoat” this a spectacular and magnificent house coat. The pattern on the fabric is gorgeous and on video it looks more like velvet and expensive. I think that navy and turquoise would be stunning!
I emphasize SO MUCH with the 'choosing a crush' thing! Turned out I was looking at the wrong gender and had a crush on my best friend the entire time, but I devinetly chose a random boy as a pre-teen! Lovely dressing gown by the way!
I was about to comment the same thing! I picked the least objectionable boy in my class and went 'cool, I guess he's my crush now'. Turns out I was a baby lesbian, and that is not how crushes work.
I did the same thing! Except after identifying as "maybe lesbian???" for a few years, I figured out I was asexual. I'm romantically attracted to women though, so I was half right, at least :D
@@alexismontez4230 Me too! Asexual with some demiromantic tendencies, but then I also figured out that nonbinary and many trans people are fantastic and the only thing that remains completely unappealing is straight cis-het guys :'D
I remember my Grandma had that sewing machine. She made Barbie clothes for me and my sister. Woman never used a pattern, go figure. God Rest Her Soul she was fantastic. I think you definitely won the housecoat challenge.
This housecoat is wonderful and I am green with envy and considering buying 14 yards of flannel. It doesn’t look too complicated either but that might just be because you are magic.
Oh…your makeup and hair this week is absolutely stunning, and your housecoat..just adds to the beauty of it all…if that’s possible. Beautiful job, everything looks so stunning from you, to your background and the beautiful fabric choice…the list is endless…
Now this is how a house coat should look! I can see this as a suit, the skirt having a matching peplum to the yoke flounce....in the purple and lime green or dark green outer and fuchsia lining. xxx
"I don't like disturbing visuals." Yes, this exactly!! I absolutely get it. Honestly, I have to take half a Xanax at night so I can actually fall asleep without my mind wandering off into disturbing visuals. I have to take other things as well, but those are for falling asleep and staying asleep as I, too, suffer from insomnia. That is on top of being a night owl. Good times.
It feels like maybe this is the disadvantage of having a very vivid visual imagination...? Once things go in the eyeballs, they don't really go away 😒 Even reading very edgy text-based content tends to stick, although not quite as tenaciously as audiovisual media? Makes me wonder if strongly aural learners experience a similar phenomenon with things they hear...? 🤔
"Solve a mystery or poison, someone." LMAO! You crack me up, Bianca. I love everything you make; I can't think of one thing that I didn't like. I would not mind one bit if you decided to put your own line of patterns out...seriously...think about it...please. xoxo's Sandie
I am SO in love with the mismatched socks thing you've got going on there...it's awesome!!!!! The housecoat is to DIE for, but it's those socks that sell the whole thing for me. I can't wait to start sashaying around my house in my glamourous new housecoat and mismatched socks....I'll finally be trendy.
Off topic sort of, but my favorite housecoat in my life was when I was 4 and had my tonsils taken out. White flannel nightgown with red narrow stripes, the yoke said, "Twinkle twinkle little star" and had rhinestones here and there. The housecoat was red quilted fabric, red buttons with a rhinestone in the center, and a music box in one of the pockets. 1966 glamor, or I thought it was. I also thought they were real diamonds. I had forgotten about that.
So I made the gothic glam housecoat and it's possibly my favorite thing I've ever made and I practically live in it when I'm home, and now you're telling me I have a reason/excuse to make ANOTHER housecoat?? With THEE best aesthetic of all time?? You are and continue to be an absolute legend, thank you.
Regarding the boy and the snickers: Valentine's is SUCH a weird holiday when you've never had a partner, or a crush really. They try and rebrand it to be about all types of love but it just feels strange. I don't know what my point is here, but as a fellow aspec, I feel you.
This coat has been on my "I REALLY WANT ONE" list for a long time! Now I can live vicariously though this video :) (and also finally plan to make one myself)
okay, THE EYESHADOW THOUGH!! I love that color. I don't think I've seen a purpley-silver like that before. I'm aware that it's probably reflecting something, but the effect is still gorgeous
Brava Bianca! I love how this came together! 100% gives me Vampire-on-her-day-off vibes and I'm so here for it! Aesthetically I love Crimson Peak, but I am, in fact, a baby with regards to spooky things! One of these days I'll get up the nerve to actually sit and watch it but until then I'll just have to admire the stills and other people working on lovely projects about it!
100% relatable!! The snippets I've seen in TH-cam analyses of its costuming and themes were definitely more than enough 'creepy factor' for me? But I completely understand why the fashion side of it is inspiring some remarkable projects!
I would recommend "I am the pretty thing that live in the house". It's a spooky ghost story that takes place in a house that was built in the early 1800's. Hope it's not too spooky! 😊
I love the way you talk to your past self as if she can hear you I live that gown I can imagine in it a lovely flowing satin looking very luxurious you have inspired me
I love her whole ensemble.. hopefully one day I will create something as gorgeous. So where did you find the B5152 housecoat pattern? Yours sounds like it will be very elegant and glamorous....
That fabric is fantastic! I love how the housecoat came out. I’m perpetually cold even when it’s not actually that cold in my house. Might need to make myself a Victorian styled house coat now.
I think you have me 100% sold on doing mine again in cotton flannel, it seems so easy to work with. I love the housecoat you made and hope you get to answer the door often in it!
darted to princess conversion??? *BOOF!!* mind blown... thank you for the possibilities, I need to try reversing this now... Oh, and I used the princess seam kefta pattern as a base to make a wool housecoat in January, I screwed up the neckline by widening it across the back and ended up fixing it by piecing in some fabric to bring in the neckline a bit and then hiding the resulting correction with a capelet :) I also eliminated the waist seam because I don't need extra bulk (I'm bulky enough) and also I was pattern matching plaid so figured the waist was a good point to have a wide purple band in the plaid pattern.
This was so helpful! This coat is living rent free in my head since I've seen the movie back when it came out. I will probably do mine as a winter coat. Anyways, this was super fun to watch and the result is grandiose. Love it!
I enjoy your non-sewing commentary as you go along. Last night, my husband and I were talking about our daughter who has also never had a crush, and he said, "not even Kate Beckinsale?". Must be a universal experience.
I rarely comment on youtube videos... However I have to say: your channel couldn't get better but here we are! :) I recently subbed to your channel because of your epic quality videos and one of my fav film costumes are from Crimson Peak. So to see this pop up in my recommendation... Huh, heavens, I nearly had a heart attack from the excitement you have given to me!
I'm completely fascinated watching you draft a pattern rom scratch with the measurements in your head! Everyone else I've seen has used a mannequin to draft a pattern and mock-up! YOU ARE AMAZING!
I love it!! I’m currently making the CP nightgown and wrapper and now I’m obsessed with this house coat! Lol I also absolutely noticed the pin cushion before you mentioned it and thought it was so cool. My sewing room is rather horror themed, it would be very cool in there! 🧠
I'm not one for horror movies but I enjoyed crimson peak. I fully admit I watched it for Tom Hiddleston ( I may be Aro ace but I have eyes and aesthetic beauty is still a thing) and and goths content. If you like gothic-ish visuals I'm gonna recommend another Hiddleston film, only lovers left alive. It's a modern take on a vampire movie but not overtly so and is a visual feast. It's also got Mia wasikowska( cp actress) , tilda Swindon and Anton yelchin.
Black wool or brown wool with a soutache would make a wonderful outer coat design to wear out and about. If making one for myself , wanting just below my calf where I have my longer skirts slightly above my ankles. Like seeing my leather shoes and keep my hems clean. Thank you for sharing your time and efforts in this project.
That coat is gorgeous. Love the colours. Another item added to my "must make at some point" list, but shorter. Looking into historical ish things I can make that I can wear in my electric wheelchair. Love victorian, but the amount of fabric and padding means its not a good idea. Shortening the skirts wouldn't look right. Might get away with regency and shorter skirts plus the short stays are a bonus. Viking period I know i can do shorter. Just squares, rectangles and triangles. Right going to binge watch some more of your videos.
I've used those little fabric pieces and scraps when stuffing toys that I've made for my sister's dog, and have seen people use them for pet beds and stuff like bum pads
I have never actually watched Crimson Peak but good lord is this giving me inspiration to avoid getting bored while making all the wrapper and tea coat projects I have planned for wearing around the house!
For a hack on sharpening your scissors. You cut some aluminum foil pieces with the scissors and for a little bit it can sharpen them. I use it for paper ones but I don't know about fabric scissors
Oh this is fabulous--would totally answer the door in this! On a side note....I agree about "Shutter Island". I love murder mysteries, horror and sci-fi but I found "Shutter Island" disturbing as well. I feel you on that one!
You inspire me SO much! I just found your Collab-mates from watching you making your fantasticly cozy Crimson Peak house coat! After watching a few other videos by your collaborators, I think I'm going to try a Lounge-uary set when the new year begins. I've got the time to plan it!
Hi Bianca!! I absolutely adore this gorgeous housecoat.. You’ve outdone yourself on this.. You look amazingly stunning in your Crimson Peak Housecoat…. 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
@@TheClosetHistorian you inspire me incredibly. If I would have found a friend like you before moving I would have stayed! I’m sure MOOD treats you right but I’m in NYC for work and would be happy to help with swatches should you ever need!!
Hope that you've been having great fun & cosy comfort swooping and swooshing around the house in this amazing creation! Those burgundy faux-ribbons really make it pop... and you've definitely inspired me to get a bit more ambitious with the length of red dressing-gown flannel waiting in my 'to do' stash! Was relating SO hard to you throughout most of this video's commentary!! 😆 Everything from the love of lanterns & frustration with blunt scissors to the ace mystification with tingle-based crushes... (I did fall for a couple of guys in high school, but it was very much bsded on admiring their minds rather than panting after their bodies? 😝 Unlike most of my contemporaries...) And your comment at 30:00 is so totally apropos! In both carpentry and sewing, sometimes things just seem to mysteriously go awry for no obvious reason? And then sometimes you jiggery-pokery with the rules and it still somehow turns out fine... That unpredictability has been a source of considerable frustration & frequent bemusement to me! 😅
So that underside of the cape bit...you might almost call that a...Crimson Peek. ;)
@RubyLovesRocket - .^_^.
Very niiice! 😄
Your story about not experiencing crushes as a kid and feeling like you had to pick somebody to have a crush on rings so true with me. And then I laughed out loud at "We've all seen Kate Beckinsale." SO TRUE.
"I don't plan on wearing heals around the house"
This sounds like a job for.... Marabou slippers!
Just what I thought!
Too bad no one makes nice ones anymore! They only have uhh...fetishy ones. I'd like a lower non stiletto heel and in mint green thanks
@@TheClosetHistorian I have some not crappy and not crazy high ones from Frederick's of Hollywood. They are super cute
😂
Everyone needs a dressing gown that sweeps behind them to eat ice cream from the carton.
Exactlllly!
I will never think about flannel the same way again! Thanks for sharing.
Also, the "There's a bit of magic in sewing. I'm sorry." statement may be my fave sewing related quote ever.
When you said, “If you were to answer the door…” I decided I needed to make me one! 🌈🌈🦋🦋 My current robe is a 1970’s pattern using a self quilted bedspread from the same era. It’s amazingly psychedelic.
Your current robe sounds glorious to me!
please post pictures montage on your channel!!! I want to see this!!!!
This coat is very "I'm going to wash one load of laundry today" *proceeds to wash the house coat only* and I'm honestly here for it, the smaller number of individual pieces to wear around the house the better imo
Yyyyeeeeessssssss. I really wish the movie wasn't so twisted because the costumes are juuuuuust UGH. Perfection
The ace puzzlement over crushes is highly relatable. 😂
What a fabulous dressing gown. A very glamorous way of enjoying a cozy cup of tea and reading a book while looking a million bucks
Thank you Gina! Just wish I had the Victorian library to match!
I LITERALLY JUST MADE THIS COAT!!!
(except mine is being used as an actual coat and not a housecoat)
I just made my own "crimson peak" inspired housecoat last month, more along the lines of the green butterfly . If I'm stuck at home I'm gonna do it in fabulous lounge wear.

@@stormyweather2773 LOL SAME!!
I'm in the back half of my 30s and I still think its fake. Like, aesthetically I can be like "this person is pleasing to my eye" but I have zero interest in them otherwise. I am just going to be a cranky old ace person in a rocker with my crochet.
I'm actually saving my "fabric confetti" (at least the cotton stuff) to make my own tailors ham, haha.

The way that I always come back to this video and feel the NEED to sew a dramatic house dress coat like this just to lounge at my house.
That looks so gloriously snuggly and delightfully fancy for swanning around the house.
Thank you!
Puffy sleeve housecoats are just what we need during these times😍✨
Honestly this housecoat looks hella comfy and is, at the same time, one of the prettiest things I've ever seen.
Thank you Holly!

Oh dear... there is also black and green!! 😍 I am sorely tempted to make a reversible Slytherin housecoat. 💚🖤
I would recommend "I am the pretty thing that live in the house". It's a spooky ghost story that takes place in a house that was built in the early 1800's. Hope it's not too spooky! 😊
It looks like velvet and is flannel, I need it.
It’s soo pretty! It’s almost reversible since its fully lined but that could only be me who feels that way.
Yes! Especially since she sewed the ruffle on last
Thank you! Without the ruffle/cape thing and with a long unattached belt it would be yes!
I love the way you talk to your past self as if she can hear you I live that gown I can imagine in it a lovely flowing satin looking very luxurious you have inspired me

It’s never about ‘needing’ …but ‘the want’ is real !!! 💗💗I’m sure it will look amazing !
As another single gal i love listening to your thoughts on love and relationships. You're a hoot!

Thank you Haley!
darted to princess conversion??? *BOOF!!* mind blown... thank you for the possibilities, I need to try reversing this now...
Oh, and I used the princess seam kefta pattern as a base to make a wool housecoat in January, I screwed up the neckline by widening it across the back and ended up fixing it by piecing in some fabric to bring in the neckline a bit and then hiding the resulting correction with a capelet :) I also eliminated the waist seam because I don't need extra bulk (I'm bulky enough) and also I was pattern matching plaid so figured the waist was a good point to have a wide purple band in the plaid pattern.
Lady Tremaine but make it 1890’s: PERFECTION! And yet I would watch a Maleficent version of this.
Thank you Stephanie!
This housecoat is FABulous! It’s elegant, decadently ‘fashionable’ and STILL just a WARM housecoat that can be worn every day! I LOVE it!!
Thank you Debi!

Nothing says comfy like mismatched socks! I love that it flannel, peak coziness.
Without the cape and with a different closure, this would be fully reversible! Looks super cosy ☺️
Now you have something glamorous to wear around the house. Love it!
Thank you Linda!
Thanks for having me over!
Thank you for this! Again full of sensitivity, irony, and humanity. (Besides the high standard of sewing craftswomanship) love the 35.44, hem hem….

Looking into historical ish things I can make that I can wear in my electric wheelchair. Love victorian, but the amount of fabric and padding means its not a good idea. Shortening the skirts wouldn't look right. Might get away with regency and shorter skirts plus the short stays are a bonus. Viking period I know i can do shorter. Just squares, rectangles and triangles.
Right going to binge watch some more of your videos.
Thank you Nanette!
Not only is it beautiful, your housecoat looks so comfortable and cozy. 😊
Thank you Debbie! Very cozy indeed!
As you were listing out other possible color combos and mentioned Maleficent...you would do an AMAZING Midcentury Maleficent costume.
I am also more of a Maleficent type, but this look makes me want to embrace my Lady Tremaine side. The capelet is epic.
Thank you!
I can't believe you haven't got a sweet heart I really love this housecoat the material is great really looks like velvet beautiful
Thank you Carol!
I’d never seen that movie till I saw this video. I’m glad I’ve seen both now. ☺️ Beautiful house coat!

For a hack on sharpening your scissors. You cut some aluminum foil pieces with the scissors and for a little bit it can sharpen them. I use it for paper ones but I don't know about fabric scissors
I actually want all of the outfits from crimson peak 😩 so beautiful 😍
Oh this is fabulous--would totally answer the door in this! On a side note....I agree about "Shutter Island". I love murder mysteries, horror and sci-fi but I found "Shutter Island" disturbing as well. I feel you on that one!
You inspire me SO much! I just found your Collab-mates from watching you making your fantasticly cozy Crimson Peak house coat! After watching a few other videos by your collaborators, I think I'm going to try a Lounge-uary set when the new year begins. I've got the time to plan it!
Oh no, I was not supposed to see this video! This coat is going to haunt me until I make my own!!!
i´m planning a 1880 princess dress right now and this pattern drafting is verry helpful
Hi Bianca!! I absolutely adore this gorgeous housecoat.. You’ve outdone yourself on this.. You look amazingly stunning in your Crimson Peak Housecoat….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Thank you Deana! 💜
How am I only just now knowing you live in Denver! I just left after 8 years. You’re my hero and I would have died to have seen you in person!
I promise I don't get out much, so I'm hard to spot even in Denver 🤣❤️
@@TheClosetHistorian you inspire me incredibly. If I would have found a friend like you before moving I would have stayed! I’m sure MOOD treats you right but I’m in NYC for work and would be happy to help with swatches should you ever need!!
"they would think youre a Vampire"
Thats a plus If anything!
Definitely 🧛♀️❤
Looks fabulous and warm (being from a Northern Climate myself I appreciate the warmth).
Thank you Julie!
Hope that you've been having great fun & cosy comfort swooping and swooshing around the house in this amazing creation! Those burgundy faux-ribbons really make it pop... and you've definitely inspired me to get a bit more ambitious with the length of red dressing-gown flannel waiting in my 'to do' stash!
Was relating SO hard to you throughout most of this video's commentary!! 😆 Everything from the love of lanterns & frustration with blunt scissors to the ace mystification with tingle-based crushes... (I did fall for a couple of guys in high school, but it was very much bsded on admiring their minds rather than panting after their bodies? 😝 Unlike most of my contemporaries...)
And your comment at 30:00 is so totally apropos! In both carpentry and sewing, sometimes things just seem to mysteriously go awry for no obvious reason? And then sometimes you jiggery-pokery with the rules and it still somehow turns out fine... That unpredictability has been a source of considerable frustration & frequent bemusement to me! 😅
