Goodness that's lovely and so *neat*. When you're backstitching in the piping groove, what are you sewing through on the underside? The twill tape, the edge of the pleats, both?

Thanks for the memories! This takes me back to my school sewing sampler days. I've never forgotten them, but I didn't appreciate them enough in those days. I was making some drapes for my living room, and I asked my Carer to tack the hems for me while I was sewing the seams on the machine. She looked at me as though I'd asked her to build aa spaceship & fly it to the moon! I'm 70 and she was 45, so that tells us how rapidly some of these things are dying out. Unfortunately, the tremors in my hands don't allow me to hand sew any more. You've obviously been doing this for a very long time to be able to sew so quickly and so neatly ... & I noticed that you're left-handed. Thank you for keeping hand-stitching alive. I often listen to historical novels and when I hear about the ball-gowns, etc., I always spare a thought for the poor women who had to spend hours sewing them, just as I did when I watched some of the Coronation and all of the robes, jackets, etc. that were all hand stitched by the worlds most talented needleworkers. I'm finally learning to use an overlocker, so no more need tto do French or Flat fell seams! :)

Hi Wendy, how lovely to read your comment. Yes, I totally agree that the fine art of hand sewing seems to be dying out. I am so keen to teach it at school, not only for the skill itself, but I believe that it also teaches the young to appreciate clothes, and therefore less would go to landfill. I love to hand sew - I find it very therapeutic. And yes, I've been sewing since I was very little, but, no, I'm right handed. You clearly have a love for sewing, as do I. I'm sorry it's now a little difficult for you, but I'm glad to hear that you enjoy watching other people sew. Good luck with your overlocker, they're great fun!!

Beginning in the 1870s, the designs and techniques of broderie anglaise (the strip down the center) could be copied by the Swiss hand-embroidery machine. Today, most broderie anglaise is created by machine. it does look like a very common machine pattern. Very popular at it's time in 1840-80, Broderie Anglaise is created using open worked spaces in varying shapes and sizes. the holes on that center strip look very even and the pattern appears to repeat with no real variation, which is why I expect the work was machine done. Making it likely to be post 1880, due to the fact that such machine work was expensive when first introduced and if one were going to buy such an expensive bit of lace it would not have been used on a garment that one went to the cost saving measure of whip stitching selvage edges together to save fabric. broderie anglaise has never truly fallen out of favor and has been in pretty much constant machine production since the 1870's. I can tell you plainly from personal experience that even with the proper tools (such as the round stiletto) that it is very difficult to get such perfectly sized holes by hand, and that anything from stitch tension, to number of stitches will alter the size of the holes. point one. point two. in the 1990's I worked in a clothing factory and we had and still used chain stitch machines. likewise I have seen them used in period clothing (that we know the dates of) for July 1915, and December 1924 (both dated by receipt and diary entries) This proves a common point, that well made machines that last for 100 years will be used for 100 years. (My current favorite industrial flat stitch is a 1940's singer, and I have a working 1902 singer) you really can not determine by type a machine when a garment was made, at best you can only say it could not have been made earlier than that machine was made. It would help to know how wide the cotton was if its being used at full width selvage included. the whip stitched edge also makes me think 1880's as that was a common practice with cottons at that time. Indeed it had been popular for a very very long time, however looking at the selvage edge I can nearly guarantee you that the fabric was pre 1905 (if made in America, and I would bet nearly any first world country of the time). In 1905 most mills switched to Hopewell looms because they produced a 28" unfinished fabric, and did so rather safely and quickly. As the shuttle loom technology evolved, new wider shuttle looms were installed. These looms created an unevenness that was apparent in the selvage edge. the selvage edge looks like what can be refereed to as 'self edged' hence it was not woven on the commonly used post 1905ish. that really makes it likely that the night gown must have been made between 1875 (1885 more likely) and 1905. the style could have been from any point during those years. I hope this helps.

I wonder if this lovely nightgown was either a wedding present or made by her when she married. The lace on the front of the gown looks "newer" than the lace on the collar and cuffs-perhaps sewn on at a later date because it's not embroidered on to the gown? Researching lace patterns you may help identify the gown's age. The button could have been sewn on as a spare in the event one of the others was lost? The name label looks similar to those I remember from the 1950-60s. I'm sorry I can't identify the date of the gown, but hope some of my thoughts may be of help.

Thank you for lots of info. super helpful. Yes, I did wonder about the lace on the centre front looking a little out of place?! I was once told that lace is really hard to date, because old techniques are still used today. I like the idea of the button being sewn there as a spare, hadn't thought of that. I was taught at college about name tapes/labels, and that they were invented towards the end of the 1800s when people started to send their clothes to a public laundry. My name tapes at school looked just like this one, so again, techniques haven't changed much ;-)

I have so many needles, of all sizes, that I've been using over the years, and they live in random pin-cushions in my studio - I've no idea of the specific size/brand of this needle, except to say that it's quite a small fine one. I like to use a small needle with a small eye if I am doing small stitches on a thinner material. I think it's a matter of what you feel comfortable handling, and what is suitable for the weight of the material.

That's a great idea - perhaps a whole other video with details of where these stitches can be used. To be fair, a lot of them are used in sewing today too : running stitch, if you want to gather something or tack something together; back stitch, for a seam that you need to be stronger; herringbone stitch for hemming; French seam, if you are not lining or overlocking, makes it neat on the inside. Just a few examples. There are many many different uses!!
