I have to say, it took me about 5 times playing this to see the whole video. Your voice, the music, the softness of the construction...I kept falling asleep. I am not a sewing person but I appreciate great craftsmanship. Now to watch part 4, which I have probably played about 5 times also, but have never seen. (I am watching this series as I wait for the next segment of Hogwarts train dress to be released.) 👍🏼👍🏼🥰
Again, so well thought out and produced, both gown and video. Your treatment is the clearest on the subject I have come across in books or online. Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this! Cannot wait to see your next update, absolutely Gorgeous!!!! I never really fully understood how to set 18th century sleeves even with the American Duchess guide, but watching you do it beautifully really helped me out, thank you so much!!!!
I am going to give this a go! When I first started sewing. I went for a dress in this style... and failed... twice. 13 years later and hopefully some confidence here, I am tackle this. Thank you for walking me through this!
I have always longed for one of these gowns. So lovely. I am enjoying watching the video, but it is rather like watching someone prepare a meal with I'm hungry. :)
Its looking fab! This is definately going to help for when I go to sew mine! I'd never even thought about the gore allowance on the overdress, for some reason I got it into my head it was just one massive rectangle. At least this solves my conundrum of pocket hoop access haha
Thank you ❤ so happy to hear that this has helped! I would love to see your gown when it is finished! In the simplicity pattern by AD the gore is cut as one with the front skirt which is a lot quicker then adding a gore, but it isn't as economical on the fabric side 😊 if you go to the American Duchess channel Lauren has a video on the gore 😊
Oh my gosh! Beautiful! But next time may you please please please try in on and let us all see all that hard work at work? I would have love to see it on.
Thank you! I wouldn't recommend stretchy fabric as the gown is built on a non-stretch base, and I have no idea how it would hold up. But if you really wanted to experiment, by all means give stretchy fabric a go ☺
I can't wait for the final installment! I had a question about the hem - some sacque gowns look like the hem is just pinked, is that an illusion or is that a period option? Thanks!
I can't back this up, but my guess would be that it is an illusion or it is the trim that is added to make the bottom look pinked. Because the location of the hem it gets a ton wear and tear so it would need to be strong. 😊
I bought it off of eBay several years ago. I found the shotsilk was really nice to work with; I do wish it was a tiny bit heavier, but I am very happy with the result!

This style of gown has never been my favorite, but yours is so gorgeous that I'm being swayed! Now, on to part 4!
Same!
It's so beautiful! You've done an amazing job. I can't wait to see it all trimmed and being worn. 😍
Thank you Jonii 💗

Огромное спасибо за видео!!!
So gorgeous! I can't wait for the trimmings video!
Thank you! The trim video is coming out today at 10AM PST!
I am going to give this a go!

Thank you for walking me through this!
I like that seam!
Oh my goodness this looks great! I can't even imagine hand sewing all of this like it would've been.
Thank you 😄 once you start sewing by hand it very relaxing and almost becomes addictive. At least that is how I feel 😉
I have always longed for one of these gowns. So lovely. I am enjoying watching the video, but it is rather like watching someone prepare a meal with I'm hungry. :)
This gown is stunning. Absolutely well done done!
It's like visual ASMR. pretty work!
Just stunning. And so relaxing to watch you work!
Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying it :)
This is coming a long so lovely! I've followed for awhile. I can't wait to see what you do with the trim.
Thank you. I really like how it turned out.
Thank you so very much for making these videos! They're super helpful for someone like me who tries her first Robe à la Francaise ;).
Your are very welcome! Good Luck!
Tu proyecto es muy bonito y relajante para ver. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias!
Thank you for the lovely comment!
You're doing such an admirable job! you've re inspired me to begin my own sack back gown! Can't wait for the next video❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😄
beautiful work, I love it

Just brilliant! I'm humbled! So appreciative. If you had it to do over, would you have used a patterned fabric?
amazing
Love your channel!!!
Amazing! Will the stomacher be next?😍
Thank you!! Yes, the stomacher and trimming will be in the next video! 😄
Oh my gosh! Beautiful! But next time may you please please please try in on and let us all see all that hard work at work? I would have love to see it on.
Thank you! I have a video coming out with me wearing the gown 💗 but I need to finish editing it.
Oh yay cant wait!
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
I have been waiting for this specific video for soooo long. I need to redo my Francaise as its a frankencais! lol
Yay! I'm glad to be of help! I would love to see your gown when you are finished!
Gown like that may cost something like 700 to 800 livres,,which was quite expensive for that era,but contrast a painting cost average of 40 livres
Truly lovely. What happens in the front...? Does it take a stomacher?
What is the music for the video? Sorry to be a pain. I know I recognise it I just cant remember where from!
It is stunning!!! Are you going to upload the stomacher??!
Thank you! Yes, the stomacher and trim will be in the next video!
I am heart scared to even start this.
Did they make an underarm pad to perspiration stains?
Oh wow this is beautiful! Could u use stretchy fabric? Would it work?
Thank you! I wouldn't recommend stretchy fabric as the gown is built on a non-stretch base, and I have no idea how it would hold up. But if you really wanted to experiment, by all means give stretchy fabric a go ☺
Amazing work. Are you going to do a front piece ?
Thank you! 😄 Yes, the stomacher and trim is in the next video which would be coming out next week.
It would be nice to see some lengthy shots of the garment at the end of the video
I have more full length photos in the next video 😊
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes a couple short shots wasn't what I had in mind 😐
@@micheleb3881 I have posted full shots of the gown on my Instagram 😊
Do you use a specific presser foot for the silk? And have you had any problems with the silk stretching when cutting the pattern?:)
I just used a regular pressing foot. As for the silk stretching, I didn't notice if it did 😊
ciao bellissimo lavoro..ma alla fine quanta stoffa hai usato??grazie e complimenti
Thank you! If I remember correctly I used 13 meters for my gown :)
One more question... what size fabric did you use? 45" or 60"?
It was either 48" or 54"
I can't wait for the final installment! I had a question about the hem - some sacque gowns look like the hem is just pinked, is that an illusion or is that a period option? Thanks!
I can't back this up, but my guess would be that it is an illusion or it is the trim that is added to make the bottom look pinked. Because the location of the hem it gets a ton wear and tear so it would need to be strong. 😊
How much silk did you use? Superb job, by the way.
Thank you 😊 I used 12 meters for the robe and 3meters for the petticoat.
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes WOW that's a lot of silk, but worth it. Thank you for filming it for us, it was fascinating to watch it come together.
I wish I had bought more of the pink silk for trimming the gown, but because I am 6' tall I needed most of it for the length of the train :)
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes You still did a beautiful job. I'd love to watch you do another one!
Where did you get your silt and how was it to work with?
I bought it off of eBay several years ago. I found the shotsilk was really nice to work with; I do wish it was a tiny bit heavier, but I am very happy with the result!
This is a real tour deforestation!
😅
