I absolutely love this dress, it's beautiful 🥰

Can you wash hand-smocked clothes? Or would you have to iron the pleats back in every time?

I have seen a number of you tubers making this dress, and your has got to be the best explaining the pattern construction. I’ve had my eye on this pattern for a couple of years, but always thought it to be too low on the bodice, AND never saw it as being for a beginner. After listening to your tips, seeing how the dress fit on you perfectly I hope to buy it this week at JoAnn’s since they will be on sale. Now I need to look for a video on how you altered the bodice.

Love it!!! ❤

Bless you for making this pattern available for free!!! I'm trying to avoid spending too much on this new hobby (sewing/historical sewing) until I know it'll stick (I'm one of those people who drop hobbies in favor of new ones too often). This is gorgeous and I can't wait to try it

As a portuguese decent 1st generation. I always love to see other people recreating my father's cultural styles. It makes me feel like I can create a style resembling my ancestors' style back in the day. They're such practical and beautiful styles. Yes, please do more!! ❤

Also, how many hours does a project like this take you? I'm assuming it would take me twice that because of lack of experience

You remove facing for cleaning??

The simplicity website sells it direct as a PDF :)

Thank you so much for this!!! I think these are what they used in the red dress from outlander and I’ve always been so curious how they did it! Also. I think, vocally, you sound like Amy Adams. Delightful! Can’t wait to try this and watch more of your videos!

So impressed with your hand sewing. What a beautiful skirt you have created. You mention in the beginning suggestions for fabric and give some indication of density, but I wonder if you happen to know the approximate gsm or oz/yd of the cotton you bought at Joanns? I am in Australia so hoping to find something similar here.

Portugal pleating technique looks gorgeous

I forgot what I came to KZbin for lol. The skirt pulled me in. This was beautiful and I can’t wait to try it.

I love the technique for the pleating. I will be using that for my wife's next dress. Thank you.

i wonder if i’d be able to make a dress with the skirt being pleated like this…. since i’m hour glass shaped i would probably need it to be laced up in the back that way the skirt opening lines up and i don’t have to shimmy in and out of it.

Thank you for this tutorial! I am making an apron based on this with linen. Do you have any recommendations for how to fold and press in a quarter inch without the folded edge looking all wavy? I am relatively new to sewing, but I do want the narrow seam! Would you use an iron to press linen or just finger press? Thank you!

Eu também gosto costurar a mão. Mesmo vestidos inteiros. Pena que não fala portugues.

Muito obrigada. Adorei. Adoro Portugal. Não sabia deste tipo de saias. Vou fazer, costurar.

So versatile!

영화에 나오는 앞치마 , 예뻐요 행복한 여주인공 처럼 멋진 날 될것같아요

Beautiful. I would love a sew along with me video to help and make this. Im just starting to get into sewing and i love these beautiful details you did! Great job.

You’ve gained my respect dear. Immaculate sewing, clear voice, concise instruction, no unnecessary self-display. Great job. ❤

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I googled 'cartridge pleats' and found myself here. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the process and the historical overview. I am from Nigeria and cartridge pleats don't catch out women's fancy here. African contemporary is in vogue here and because it has a lot of gathering, like cartridge pleats, I thought incorporating cartridge pleats instead of the usual gathering would definitely be a welcome development, ancient and modern sort of. ❤ Thanks for your time. Initially, I thought the pleated fabric would be sewn to the waist band or bodice. Now I know it's hand stitched.

Your tutorials have been invaluable to me as I've been building foundations for the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I did this - stacking the petticoats - and it works brilliantly to reduce bulk at the waist. Thanks for sharing your work!

I never would have chosen this pattern based on the package or line drawings but you have taught me how to look at things differently. What a valuable and beautiful pattern!! ❤ you just got a new subscriber! And you got me thinking...you could also make a cummerbund or add a wide purchased belt to extend the look. Your first make, you could embellish the neckline with embroidery...even if it was the same shade as the fabric, I think that would be a subtle but nice touch.

So beautiful! I would wear it without the red coat.

Wow I like this dress❤,,I wish I could do it for myself,,but the top part,I don't know how you cut those.pcs

So cool!

Yes please! More historical sewing videos. Yours are so clear and relaxing to watch.

Hello, thank you for your vidéos. Which fabric and type of petticoat is the best to prevent the wind from shaping our legs please ?

Beautiful work! Love cartridge pleats.

Beautiful workmanship!

Lovely work! I loved your fabric choice for this too. ❤ Its such a soothing look of that makes sense? 😂

I'm very happy to discover your channel😍

😍💚

I really want to hand me some skirts just like that.😂 .But haven't got enough time To study to learn the skills and patterns.

My jaw dropped at the yard of tucks for the diagonal insertion. Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you so much for the video. I am learning a lot from watching you sewing.

This is actually super validating, thank you.

I love how you talk about replacing the binding at the hem and being able to adjust sizes if need be. I know that's how the cared for their garments "back in the day", but it is refreshing in the ocean of fast fashion that some people treat their garments with care. It's inspiring me to be more considerate of this as I slowly start to make my own clothes. And thank you for a good tutorial!

Cute, pretty and feminine.

You are talented!!..That dress was amazing!!!

You forgot to put on a chemisette (with a neat collar) under your outer gown. Going out without this was a no-no.

Some of those '94-'96 sleeves are absolutely hilarious! No need to carry bags when you go out shopping! You could stuff a week's worth of groceries in each sleeve!

😫😫 why i always mad at vintage clothing style ❤❤❤❤

I have watched your video or parts of it at least ten times now while trying to sew the Laughing Moon 114 dress. Thank you for all your help.

Gorgeous!!
