I Made a Pink Historical Fantasy Gown for the Renaissance Faire

While it's not renaissance faire season yet in the northeast, I have already started on this year's costume. It's inspired by late 15th to early 16th century Italian gamurras, but with some slightly anachronistic flair, in true renfaire style.

[@OdessaDenby]

Thanks for watching!

[@Musasabi31]

The finger marking!!! pure genius!!! I will definitively do that too

[@OdessaDenby]

I am standing on the shoulders of those who came before... But I hope it helps you out too!

[@canucknancy4257]

You look like a princess. I adore how the cartridge pleats turned out.

[@OdessaDenby]

Thank you! I'm glad it worked out despite my little cutting mistake with the skirt panels

[@helenasnopek5431]

I love this!! The colour is perfect for the project and your cartridge pleats turned out beautifully

[@armedvsokord]

This turned out very nice. Your videos just bring me calm.😊

[@OdessaDenby]

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to faire season!
Sometimes I worry it's boring, but I hope it's soothing, instead.

Gorgeous on you 💞

This is the coolest thing, I wish I could sew like you

[@OdessaDenby]

Hey, just three years ago I could barely sew. I'm not special, I just started practicing. So you can too, don't give up!

[@aquaaurora2747]

Not my era of dress but very lovely work! I’ve tried cartridge pleating a few times and always give up due to snapped threads. I do have some lovely fabric I want to make into a cartridge pleated work wrap dress at some point so I will eventually face down that demon.

[@OdessaDenby]

Thanks! Yeah, that snap gave me a moment of panic, but we got there in the end...
It wasn't as time consuming as I feared-- just put on a movie, be sure to have good posture, and you can knock it out in an evening.
