And as it’s currently summer where I am, I guess the next project I was just about to start is just gonna have to wait. I NEED this dress.

I've loved the original dress from the Met for ages, and was thrilled to see your version! Angela Clayton had previously also done a version (and even adapted it into a pattern for mccalls), which was where I first saw it, and it was very cool to see how the two versions diverged, especially with the added references you cited- I'm not very confident in drafting/draping myself, but I'm definitely going to try out making something similar combining that pattern and some of your research and techniques. Wonderful vid, and glad to have found your channel!
