I’ll also be coming back again and again to watch- and I’ll even make sure never to skip an ad, if that helps even a little. I’m unfortunately too poor to buy the pattern or donate, but I can watch this video many times, and I can share it around so that hopefully many others will do the same. Honestly, the fact that the US government doesn’t have anything in place to keep shops and craftspeople and artisans open and ready to go again is just ridiculous and abhorrent. In Australia, we had the JobKeeper payment, which allowed people to stay employed, even if their employer wasn’t receiving enough business. And we also had a better response in general, which is why we have theatre open here. I could go to the theatre, or see the ballet (if I could afford it). Most countries have that or something similar in place, so that the US doesn’t is just atrocious, especially when you add in the fact that the response has been so terrible that the US is suffering from the virus more than any other country. Also, unionise! Unions are important, and not just so you have representation when it comes to the big stuff. Guilds are great too, for craftspeople and artisans. People power is the only way the little guy gets to have any say, any power, any stability. And it’s easy to see in the stats- as unionisation declined in the US, so too did wages and working conditions, in a perfectly correlated way. So unionise!

At 64 and only a newbie at sewing but already in love with all historical clothing ( always have been) I have yet to make my first historical garment - it will be a Victorian Walking skirt that is cut out and staring at me daring me to start sewing it, I was lucky and got lovely wool fabric at an end of lines company, just luck of the draw what they happen to get in and if you find a great fabric its buy it then or never. At heart, though my love has always been for all things Regency so whether I ever feel I am good enough to consider making the jacket ( and can save up enough to buy the correct fabric) I had to buy it both for my own selfish reasons and so in a way my small donation goes towards helping all in CIC. I will print it out and drool over it. I hope this pattern outsells every pattern ever created. I have always admired the work that goes into creating all costumes, sometimes more than the shows themselves and since taking up sewing my admiration has only grown as I have always noticed that usually shows tend to be more historically accurate with garments than films ( never watch tv so cannot comment). Thank you for not forgetting your past - too many do - and using your platform to help so many. This most likely is something that is done but over here (UK The Royal Opera Company sells buttons and pieces of fabric based on their past performances, could theatres in the US do this or do they already do? I am slowly buying bits from the ROC my aim eventually is to make a quilt with the mixture of fabrics - most are fat quarters then decorate it with the buttons.

Um, I got very emotional watching this, and I am so far removed from the world of theater that I thought it strange that I would get tears in my eyes by the end of the video. But I am an artist, do lots of handwork in my non-costuming stitching, and I so admire the exquisite craftmanship of these dedicated artisans. Thank you, Bernadette, for bringing this to our attention and filming your video with such loving attention to story, light, and image. (Your antique machine bobbin made me swoon!) *sigh* I will gladly buy the pattern for the cause. Keep the arts alive!!!

well, i cried watching this video. i’m a theatre worker in toronto, so i, like a lot of the people in this video, have been unemployed/struggling since march. i’m very glad the CIC exists to help advocate for this incredibly important group of people in the theatre industry. (though i was interested to hear that most costume makers in new york aren’t unionized! in toronto they fall, as far as i’m aware, under one of our IATSE locals. i wonder why that’s not the case in nyc)

Dearest Bernadette, Thank you so for such a wonderful video. I've worked in a Costume shop, here in NYC for about 5 years. The General public doesn't have a CLUE, of all the the talent, resources and Hard work that goes into making the costumes for a Show. Thank you for recognizing the drapers, stitchers, embroideries, Miliners, and everyone who works in the industry. We are the small "cogs" that keep the industry alive. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙂

It was going to be my last uni show and boy. I’m not over it yet. I’m really excited to make the jacket, I just want Broadway to survive. I was also supposed to come see Hamilton in May in NYC.

I have a photograph of my great-grandmother in 1909, when she was (very) pregnant with her first child, and visiting her in-lows. She was wearing a wonderful woolen princess dress with long sword shape velvet inserts that replaced the darts and ran down the front to the hem, and some along the sleeves, plus a narrow diamond shaped one in the center front from yoke (or is it plastron? Just in the center, a mock-shirt thingy) to navel. That dress is *not* Edwardian, but rather late 19th century. The corset is late Victorian too, and much larger around the waist than the s shape she wears on earlier photos. Maybe she was playing dress-up (then why wasn't her young sister-in-law, too?), but my best guess is that it was a comfortable hand-me-down, because late pregnancy only lasts so long, and as a country school mistress she had a highish status but a low income. Well, what I was trying to do was give an example of recent "make do", not ramble forever. I would love that video too... Oh and 18th to 19th century Provence women (more precisely, from Arles) had these very special *mantelet * worn the first time a young mother went out after giving birth. They were passed in families for generations. So there might also have been some pregnancy clothes that were passed from relatives or friends, but are not well documented, like a lot of popular culture. There were, however, pregnancy stays, like the one on the top right on the following plate (Garsault, 1769; n° VI : gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1067622n/f91.item), that had additional lacings on the side.
