GRWM: 1885 Day Gown

[@JP2GiannaT]

I'm not nearly as accomplished a seamstress, but I'm so happy I'm not the only one who makes clothes out of Goodwill sheets. :)

[@sewmuchjoy]

Wow, you too? As do I! Saves me so much money and is great for mock-ups! My first historical garment was actually an Edwardian ensemble! My skirt is a periwinkle blue walking skirt, the blouse is a crisp white. I wore this for my great-Aunt's birthday party in February. No one would ever guess this was made from sheets!

[@janv4873]

Add me to the list. My first venture was turning a 50-cent box sheet into 2 little ghost costumes. They turned out better than hoped. Love used sheets. Happy sewing everyone!

[@MorganJ]

I love how you used a thrifted sheet for the bustle! It's so resourceful, and a great way to repurpose old fabric!

[@loriknaggs9751]

Wowowowow!! Pattern matching on the front bodice and pattern centering in the back, impressive and gorgeous

[@patriciatinkey2677]

So hard to get right! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@VanillaFace.]

You should be proud! That dress is beautiful and I can really see the inspiration behind it. Literally stunning 🔥❤️

[@piggugudu1327]

The way the pattern aligns looks amazing, it must have taken a lot of time and care :0! So wonderful to create this masterpiece from thrifted fabric 😄

[@Gigi4LLE]

I think you did a beautiful job on the whole thing. The pattern match is perfect ❤❤❤❤❤

[@monmothma3358]

The color 😍 That bodice! 😍😍

[@ShanMarie1974]

This is GORGEOUS! You should be VERY PROUD. ♥️

[@CelebrateEverything]

Oh my goodness, I just found you am in awe. And you just can not beat sheets and curtains from Goodwill for a myriad of sewing ptojects!

[@pickle_pup8187]

Each and every costume is amazing and beautifully done!!

[@AngelavengerL]

So pretty! I love your lobster colored bustle!

[@jeanetteburton9873]

You are so talented. I just love all your dresses. So inspired and beautifully made.

John Singer Sargent in fun colors. Love it!

[@iamnot-there]

상의 무늬를 정교하게 맞춰서 예쁘네요.

[@lisastenzel5713]

Well, I am proud of you! Cos that pattern really is difficult, cos it has so many different parts. And I love that people used those hat pins! It's practical, it's genius and we should still do it!😁👍

[@dreamy_teaparty_princess]

The purple skirt kinda looks like Sofia the firsts dress like the color of it is just perfect for her

[@GradKat]

Gorgeous! And so much fun!

[@BodaciousBeverly]

I love this! So lovely! I would wear this out!

[@Chibiluga]

Beautiful the pattern matching WOW that must have been alot of work ❤

[@RebeccaTaylorTillery]

Those hatpins are lethal!

[@KellsSmith1244]

How fun! The joy of the internet 😊

[@lifewcockapooz8103]

I love the outfit it's so good! Gorgeous pattern and colour. I also love your shoes where on earth did you get them?!

[@eusouagratidao]

Magnífico 😘🇧🇷

[@arushijhalani]

Your everything, every video is beautiful.

[@AstaDarling]

Oh thank you so much!

[@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen]

I remember da 1880s, good times

[@disney_et_moi]

May I ask you, miss AstaDarling, if, what we always see in the background, is your real house?!

[@AstaDarling]

It isn't! This is the Empress of Little Rock, I stayed there while filming a campaign and loved the place so much I booked another nights stay!

[@disney_et_moi]

@@AstaDarling So it means that those are themed Hotels?

[@AstaDarling]

@@disney_et_moi historic bed and breakfast, you can book stays overnight!

[@disney_et_moi]

@@AstaDarling Ah okay interesting and marvellous in the same time!!🤗🤗 So you create your dresses all by yourself, that is amazing and wonderful. Your dresses look always so original, even though they are "facsimiles" if you know what I want to say.

[@sewmuchjoy]

Congrats on thrifting sheets! I do the same!

[@atinyevil1383]

Idk if you'll see this but I have a question: if you wear a corset but don't own shifts, what would you suggest to wear under the corset?

[@itsjxssica]

I’m no pro but I’d probably say wear a thin T-shirt or vest so you can still keep cool while wearing your corset! Hope this helps a little ❤😊

[@AstaDarling]

Tube tops work great, cotton tank tops work great as well! You can also go to Marshalls/tj max/ Amazon and google cotton nightgowns and those work great. I bought a frilly white cotton nightgown from Marshall’s and boom instant shift!

[@vickytaspartan]

The outfit is so gorgeous! 😍

[@ShanMarie1974]

I would love to see you make a dress based on a pair of hot chocolate shoes! They're so whimsical & I can just imagine what you would do.

[@Luxe-Ledger]

If inspired by a Disney villain, it kinda reminds me of Vanessa (Ursula’s human form). But it’s so cute! 😁

[@wg8517]

So creative 😊

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Please consider posting a gardening dress for the 1890s

[@lyndioli]

Love this!!!✨💞✨

[@IchigoOren]

Love the lobster tail

[@karenwright8556]

Fantastic.

[@4weebie]

the lobster tail😭i love it so much

[@kikismith2413]

Where did you get the patterns you used to make these? I want to make multiple historical inspired dresses but want to make sure I do them justice by using good patterns

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW!

[@chandarussell]

That’s gorgeous. Are there actually patterns out there for all the underthings and the skirt and top?

[@Judoka26]

Yeah truly Victorian should cover all your needs (as an example)

[@elenasolntsev9875]

Wunderfulll!

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Awesome.....

[@armygman79]

I LOVE it!!! I'm glad it isn't 1880, 1) the start would have been considered risqué 2) my wife wouldn't have approved in 1880's

[@アマガエル-y5t]

素敵❤ あんま聞き取れんけど、ロブスター🦞って言ったのはビックリしたww

[@mieczysawazmijewska47]

Super👍

[@majorchernobaev6108]

COOL 👍💘🌹🌹🌹

[@Noblebird02]

Wonderful video. Why is the purple (other then polyester composition) historicalIy innacurate. I love your appreciation for budgeting and your reuse of chemise Speaking of which: i am writing a time travel novel, so how would you, if you where time travelling several decades budget? Like could petticoats from 1835 work when the characters skip ahead to 1889? Or do the shapes of these decades silhouettes differ so much that the characters need to make summer and winter petticoats (one of the characters is Ethiopian and she goes to the opera in Moscow in November, so i presume she would wear a quilted petticoat) . Are there any particular decades where you could reuse the petticoats (like 1780s and 1880s, or 1530s and 1860s).
