- Who else loves the late Edwardian inspired costumes in Titanic?
In this video I reproduce Rose's swim dress from Titanic using historical methods where I can. Since I have an undying love for the film, I thought it was fitting my first video would be centered around one of the Titanic costumes. Subscribe if you enjoy 20th century dress history and historical reproductions.

The dress is heavenly. I also love the Titanic movie and Rose's costumes in particular.
Thank you Susan 💕
I graduated high school in 1998 and my friend got this dress made and wore it to senior prom that year
I love how, historically, fashion repeats itself as the styles of 1912 are almost exact to styles 100 years earlier in 1812. I've been working on mine and I used a basic regency dress pattern as a base and just adjusted the seamlines and did some finagling with the back closures. The purple outer layer which is like a coat is how I made mine but is attached at one shoulder so I can close the under dress in the back and secure the "coat" layer over like a robe with the sash tying in the back with a bow with long tails.
Yea I find that regency fashion repetition fascinating! That project sounds so pretty 🤩
Fabulous 💕🤍 My favourite dress of hers is when she goes to jump overboard, the black and red ❤️🖤
I find it amazing how you also use supplies from that era, too! That’s dedication! One of the 11 Academy Awards the film won was Best Costume Design, which is no surprise! 😊
I saw the movie a few years ago, though I wasn’t born yet when it was released I love the movie, my favorite dresses are the “im flying” dress and “the sinking” a.k.a this dress
The next one I was going to make is the jump dress (the red and black one), but I was also thinking of doing the flying dress.
@@CarolineElizabethMartin please do the flying dress, if I see someone make it it would make me so happy, because I once did that “i’m flying” scene in school for an event and it was really cool
I was mesmerized by the dress that Kate Winslet (Rose) wore in the film. I would love to wear such a dress in our time! Can you believe that! Imagine in 2013! It’s so lovely. I love the flow it has and it suited Rose well. She looked gorgeous in it. It’s a style that looks like it could pass as a fashion today. I have noticed that some things from that era haven’t changed much up to our present day.
This dress is beautiful, it looks like an angelic dress, it was one of my favorites in the movie, thank you so much for recreating it ❤❤
That lace is so dreamy 😍
OMG same! I was obsessed with the costumes ever since I saw the movie in 2001 and the swim dress is one of the top favorites
You’re so right about it being a gateway. Usually 90s period pieces are awful for historical accuracy but Titanic did almost everything correctly!
It is absolutely lovely! Kudos to you for taking on all that chiffon with an audience!
It's crazy I watch the titanic today and I thought the swimming dress was so cool . i wanted to do it and your the only video to have make it so thank you for this tutorial 👌😍sorry if there is any fault in my sentences,I'm french 😅
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions when making it don’t hesitate to ask.
I'm going to work on this I'm taking history of fashion and watched titanic today just to admire the tea dress!
Yay! Good luck
Have always loved that dress! 🤩
That thread draw 😍
Your historical input really makes me appreciate the wealth of options and ease of access we have today!
Caroline! Watching and listening to you making this swim dress was just incredible, inspiring. I’m in awe! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Thank you for the encouragement 💕
I loved seeing the process, the dress turned out amazing and extremely similar to the one used in the movie!! 💖
Thank you so much 😊
I'm only a few minutes in but I have to say, I'm really enjoying your videos! The juxtaposition of the sewing process + contextualizing the dress in the narration is just lovely 💕
Thank you 😊 I feel the dress history is just as important as the construction process
This is just so beautiful! You are a legend on trying it and accomplishing this dress! Absolutely stunningly beautiful 🤩
This dress was so beautiful in the movie and amazing you recreated it! Love the colors such a magical idea.
Beautiful. I love your videos. You speak of the history and you sew at the same time. I love it.
Such a free flowing beautiful dress ❤️ Well done!! 👏👏
Great you did really beautiful the dress❤️
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Stunning!
Such a beautiful dress. Well done!
Your a beauty from another era,stunning dress
Omg this is amazing!!!!
This is beautiful you did a wonderful job with the flow of the layers - the fabric choice was spot on and laid flat which is usually a problem with the repro dresses I have seen. Would love to see the back even though you weren’t thrilled with it!
Wow, such wonderful work!❤
It's obvious that those dreses from the movie take a lot of work. This video makes it very very visible.
Great work, especially shiffon. 👏👏👏
Your pure dedication, eye, skill & talent is admirable. I adore your videos!! Bad the dress turned out so lovely!!! If you do make more it would be wonderful, I love the titanic more than anything :)
Loved the movie. I watch it all the time. Love the clothes.
It’s beautiful! You did a wonderful job!
Thanks Tiff!
I just bought the pattern for this dress from Sense & Sensibility. Hopefully mine will come out half as good as yours.
Yay I’m excited for you! Message me if you have any trouble
Absolutely beautiful
Amazing job, congratulations!
Beautiful!! Thank you!
This was so well done! You did a great job :)
Thanks Cazza 🥰
So cute! 😮 I want one.
That is so freaking awesome!!! It looks just as beautiful as the one from the movie! Have you ever wore this dress in public and if so what were peoples reactions??💜💜💜💜
stop it. this is so gorgeous!!
also, I thought the audio was perfectly fine!!
I’ve worked with that fabric and it’s a nightmare. This is amazing!
Omg ur so talented
Would love to see more of your fur babies ❤😊
Beautiful, that took alot of work!
love the idea of remaking titanic dresses for yourself, i've always wanted to make the red suicide dress but i don't have the skills
It's very nice !! You did a great job ! 😊
Thanks Kaberi!
Excellent work. Love your dialog too.
Thank you Sue 😊💕
So lovely!
Thanks Stacey! 😊🍓🪡
My dream is to wear this dress 🥺 You did such a great job !
Thank you Majda 💛
Wow!
Beautiful!! Planning to make my own in the future 🥰
Thank you! if you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me
@@CarolineElizabethMartin you are so kind thank you 🥺
I’d love to see ceremonial reproductions of our late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Or even her wedding dress! This project turned out beautifully. You are also very relaxing to watch. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
That’s funny because that’s been a desire of mine since the beginning! It’s just such an intricate piece I feel I don’t have the skill for yet. I also love her coronation gown❤️🇬🇧
its so cool 💗😍😍😍
Thanks Althea 😊
I jus like each dress of Rose in the movie
UNDERRATED!
Thanks Leo fan!
Very pretty 😃
Stitching is love
are the dogs Pitt bulls ?! omg my heart ❤ and your dress is so great and amazing
🌸🖤🫂✝️ Always felt if Rose was a real person she probably would’ve had a madein of hers hand sew on that passed down lace. I think everyone would’ve been upset but she would’ve loved it clearly! I feel like it’s also how she would’ve learned normal behavior like sewing or something like it. Like house cleaning, I think if the movie want on from that fight with soon to be she probably did more smaller things so she could be teached or learn from sight seeing it done. then doing that away from everyone like cleaning or sewing by hand.
Meu preferido ❤
So beautiful
👍
Thank you Purnima!
Could you make Rose’s nightgown in the scene where Cal gives her the necklace? I love that one
Oooo I love that idea
Do you have video on how you did the over bodice? I'm trying to make the swim dress and I'm having trouble figuring out how to put it together.
Myfav ❤️🌹😘dress of titanic and pink coat
Very beautiful but I wanted to see the back of the dress too! 😭
she is clean
Would you mind telling us what machine needle you used on the chiffon? I always struggle with fine fabric
Me encantan,ando loca por vestirme asi.ya que se ve modesto y elegantes ...
Corsets in this era had an under bust cut and sat low on the hips to smooth them out!
I've been researching the various Edwardian (late and early) corset styles. Boning really began to calm down in the mass produced 1910s corsets and like you mention, smoothed the hips and landed at the upper thigh. My November project will be dedicated to recreating the jump dress 😏. There is no doubt Rose would've worn a corset with the jump dress since it was a dinner dress. So I will be constructing her corset and combinations in preparation for the project, excited!
OMG! That looks absolutely beautiful! I love the swim dress from the film as well, and I got a pattern just for it (Simplicity 8399). Have you tried that pattern? Also I noticed for the original dress, the sash in the back goes up into an inward V shape. Is that a difficult task to complete? I hope to make this dress one day soon! I hope you make more of Rose’s dresses! The Jump Dress is beautiful too!
Thank you! I have examined simplicity 8399, it definitely would need some adjustment to get it to be super similar to the original. Actually the back was really hard for me, that’s why I don’t turn around in the video 😅. I ended up doing a standard closure with hooks and eyes. I plan on doing the jump dress next- a lot of beading lol
@@CarolineElizabethMartin Oh definitely, from the looks of it on the front cover it totally needs adjustments! Especially the fabric. The problem is I can’t sew without a pattern or print to follow. And I want to make the swim dress as authentic and close to the original as possible, like you did! I can still follow the Simplicity pattern and make my own adjustments as I go along, right?
Do you sell your dresses? If so I would LOVE to purchase a swim dress from you! You’re so talented!
@@TheGreekPianist yes absolutely, I think if you follow the pattern and make your own adjustments accordingly it would come out amazing! At the moment I do not sell dresses, maybe one day!
Beautiful. You would have fit right in
Where did you buy this book? Patterns of fashion are hard to find and are so expensive!
You should forward this video to the High school teacher who told you no more Titanic........she or he would be amused
It’s a lovely dress. I wish they sell it today. I would love to wear it. I also wonder why it’s called a swim dress.
I wish they sold it as well! It’s called either the swim dress, sinking dress or water dress because Rose wore it during the scene where the ship is sinking.
May I ask where did you find that lace? I am making Mary crawleys striped dress and the lace is just impossible to find!
Etsy! There are so many options there
How long did it take for you to make this? And would this be easy for a beginner (who has no experience but can’t get the dress in time for Halloween?)
So this took me about a month to make but I wasn’t working on it seriously. If you work on it 5-8 hours a day you could probably finish it in a week/2weeks. I’m not 100% sure given my skill level is intermediate to advance. Can you read a pattern? There is a titanic pattern by simplicity that you can purchase to make a less accurate swim dress. I think this dress would be great for a beginner because it’s probably the easiest dress from the titanic to make. However there are a lot of little strategic things like the sash, the lace, the beading, the multiple skirts, the sleeves.
Complimenti bravissima adorabile
Grazie 💕
can you name all the exact colors and what are those things that help make the dress cut out like..I dont know what they are called but it was use in the bodice? Pls answer and i love this video !!
Sorry Yaneli, I took a little break from TH-cam. if you still need help can you specify what you mean about the bodice?
@@CarolineElizabethMartin it’s fine, I’m glad your back :)! But I was talking about the sketches to make the bodice I think it was
How much would you charge to make a dress like that for my daughter.
❤️🙏🥰🙏❤️
Not doubting your work, it turned out beautifully but the skirt seemed much lighter almost white in the movie vs the darker hues your used here.
Agreed, it was so hard to find the perfect shade lavender silk chiffon that was also affordable. Ordering online and then getting it in person was definitely difficult for color matching. That’s why I added the white underskirt to lighten everything up lol
@@CarolineElizabethMartin still turned out beautiful just an observation. This was my favorite dress from the movie
هذي المسلسل جميل بل مراه الي فيه لكنه رعب يعني احد تابعه يتعقد يركب سفن وسافر من دوله الي دوله عبر السفن خوف مشهد رعب😭
Looks good, but I think Kate Winslet had a corset on when she wore hers. It laid perfectly on her. But I assume that's bound to happen when you are working for JAMES CAMERON (the bravest pioneer, no budget too steep, no sea too deep, who's that? It's him! JAMES CAMERON.) who is an absolute perfectionist and rich. And can afford to put her in all this shit. JAMES CAMERON does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.
Do you sell the pattern to make the dress because I’ve looked at the simplicity pattern and wasn’t pleased?
No unfortunately I made it myself using patterns of fashion and some pattern drafting of my own, good luck!
@@CarolineElizabethMartin thank you so much I really appreciate the help but if you don’t mind me asking is the skirts gathered to give them extra volume and is there a train on the dress
@@Austinrr27 yes they are lightly gathered. it's really important to gather them evenly in order to prevent puckering in any one area. there's not really a train, it's more like the piece of fabric from the sash closing the back and is quite long, so it acts like a train.
@@CarolineElizabethMartin ok thank you so so much I really appreciate your help
@@CarolineElizabethMartin I’m sorry for all the questions but what’s the width of the straps on the white georgette bodice
Hi Caroline! Could I possibly commission you to make something for me?
Can you mack me one
PLSSS
Why was it called a swim dress? Did they really swim in them?
Apparently Deborah Scott (who was the costume designer) called it the water dress. In the public consciousness it’s known as the swim dress or sinking dress because it was worn during the scene where rose is wading through water much of the time and the boat is sinking.
Swim dress? I thought they were her pajamas.
Hi Jake, many Titanic fans refer to this costume as the swim dress. This costume models a 1910s tea dress. Pajamas of the time were usually roomy, white cotton or linen night gowns.
@@CarolineElizabethMartin Well, I always assumed it was like her nightgown or something.
You’re right does kind of look like a night gown
Dough guy
looks nothing like the original
Lovely, can I have the pattern?
