Thinking about you. Hope your 2024 has been good and creative.

Very informative! Thank you! 😊

Someone have the pattern? The link sent me to a non-in-existence page :c

Thank you for this tutorial. I have just returned from a regency festival in Tasmania, Australia. I love the costumes, hats etc. Keep safe and well.❤

I have a question of which is more historically accurate choice of stays for a robe a la française. 1740's stays or the 1780's stays? When does a robe a la française date from?

I wish modern bras were more like short stays/corsets. If i had the time and energy, i'd experiment with combining modern bra construction with this corset and i bet it would be super comfortable

How can I learn how to adjust the lines? Also to add seam allowance?

Hi, new here and to sewing. How do you find the measurements you need to make this? I’m trying to make one for daughter (she is 6 years old) for a costume she’s been wanting.

Thank you for this.... Hoping to make my first corset soon.

Fantastic!!! Huge project and gorgeous finished results 🎉

Love the fabric! I also made this exact same dress pattern. I quickly learned that I don’t like the bodice gathered into the waistline-too blousy. I ripped all that out and darted the bodice into the waist instead, both front and back. Huge improvement! Looks great with or without a belt. The five darts on the sleeve make it a bit more of a prominent shoulder than I prefer-the pattern calls for shoulder pads, which I def do not like and which I did not include- but I do love the front shoulder tucks and the four gore skirt (which I lengthened a bit, opposite of your preference. Beauty of sewing, we can modify as we like.). I’m attracted to the 1940s dress because of the fit and flare style (very flattering for my body shape) and less volume in the skirt than the 1950s due to war fabric rationing. (Cheaper to make; uses less fabric, still an A-line). Reducing the military-style/boxy shoulders and avoiding or modifying patterns with waist gathers make the 1940s dress one I really enjoy. I made a belt to wear with mine. Anyway, I think your version is cute as is. Maybe convert the waist gathers to darts and see what you think in a second make of the dress?

Thank you! I have the adjustable form and I will be using it through the winter when I sew a lot. but in the Spring I will try making the Bootstrap form.

I was rewatching your video for motivation, and after I finished it I went on pinterest to look at my 1840s board, and I found a photo from 1842 of a girl wearing basically that exact dress??? this is beyond coincidence lol

Thank you so much for this video. I’m making corsets for Ren Faire for me and a few of my friends. I’m a G cup, and my friend is a J cup - yes, a 10” difference between her under and full bust measurements. This is INVALUABLE especially for the princess seam adjustment. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Nice to see someone that knows the right way to tie a bow.

Your machine needs cleaning maybe even some oil

Nice channel. I like that you keep your mistakes, adjustments etc. real. Thank you. Also, saw your little house vid. So cute. Again. Using what you have and keeping it real. That is the way to go.

Three years late but I just wanted to add that the laughing moon pattern, although very pretty, really didn't work for me. I don't know why but the angle between the shirt panels made it so that you could basically look straight into the dress and see, well, everything. I also had similar problems with the bust, it gaped a lot. Pretty sure it's a me problem ( I have tried three different times to make a regency gown and the bust always comes out weird) but I do think it can potentially require at least some fitting. However, this is such a good video! I just found your channel and now I'm binging.

Awesome

If you didn't sew or know anything about sewing and wanted to purchase a stay not corset necessarily how does one do that.

Excellent work

Who would move there ❓🤨

I so want to make a stay for myself, but I just started sewing last year and I really have no idea where to start with a project like this. :/ All the patterns seem so intimidating.

😂 sounds like a garment for a busy girl instead of someone that has a lot of leisure time. Great video!!

Thank you my love. I am a long in the tooth seamstress but this pattern instruction was just eluding me. You have made my day ❤

I just started sewing. Self taught ,because I’ve tried to find someone to teach me. If you take classes somewhere you have to learn on their sewing machine. Also you have to know the basics.That’s not going to help me. I want to hopefully be able to sew my own clothes to. I love vintage clothing

Thank you for sharing the videos. Beautiful dress!

Good morning Atlantic Diner, its 1992 ad and we have headdress from the early to late 17 century. Lol

So lovely. 70s was still mini-skirt territory. You could probably hem your dress a bit more, if you wanted. Thank you for the video!

Thank you so much for this guide! I became interested in/started trying historical sewing about a year ago. One of my favorite things about it (aside from the gorgeous clothes) is this wonderful online community of super helpful people. Thanks for being one of those people! Making a corset feels a bit less daunting thanks to your video :)

Awesome. Thank you for sharing

I love this! Definitely want to give this style a try.

Use MILLINERY WIRE!! That's what it is for.

❤🎉❤ You got this! I am also beginning this adventure! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I saw you on Laura's Little Women blog. Oh, how I wish I had the same level of confidence that you possess in clothing construction! I'm slow when I sew. Aiming for more practice!

This might not be historically accurate but a way of improving it for modern day..... use chord to stiffen, use the oriental knot ties to attach instead of eyelets for the straps, use elastic at the waist ties. I seriously need to make this.....

So helpful 😊

By hand would be needle and thread

you are just too cool with your18 yds of fabric and sewing machine! and the brick pathway! fun, fun!

Delicious, finally, some good f*cking nuance

8:53 Ah, don't beat yourself up over it

Thanks for the video tutorial & thanks for showing Your reference source book, although I'm making the gown in 1/6 scale for 11.5" Barbie, it will help a lot. Having a tough time with finding an actual tororial for Grand panier but piecing it together from other videos & now this book will help (hopefully) too I also have a hiztorical costume with patterns for Batbie book). Take care /Rosemary

Using the tape for the cartridge pleats is genius!!! Loved this video so much 😊

I’m sewing my first Regency right now. I’ve done 1860’s and late Victorian and early Edwardian, my friends had to help me understand that this will be an easy project.

I just watched a bunch of you videos and I really like this corset most. It looks quite comfortable and I like the full bust coverage idea.

What is the name of the song thats playing in the beginning, its so nice! And youre better than me because pattern drafting my francaise is going to drive me to a mental asylum 😂

Do you realize that you end every sentence with an uplift in your voice, as though every sentence is a question? Did you know that this is extremely distracting and tiresome? I wonder if this a rich Valley Girl accent, or just an affectation? And halfway through this video, I can't listen anymore?
