Making a Bridgerton Inspired Regency Gown

[@kallandar13]

So later period Regency featured a very wide, open neckline and teeny puff sleeves, and the way many of the shifts worked was a drawstring that could be let way out, allowing you to tuck the chemise over the top of your stays but below the neckline of the gown, and no sleeves. The kind of chemise you made was suitable for a dress in the early Regency period or a Rococo gown, but it just wasn’t suited to the gown you made! The gown is lovely, tho! 😁

Your videos are perfect because; 1. pretty pretty aesthetics 2. ASMR sewing 3. I learn things!

[@madzikdek]

The dress is so pretty. The color compliments you very well and the appliques look very magical. Hopefully by the time you upload your next video I will be sewing away myself

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I hope you get to sew too 😊

[@GothyPingu]

gorgeous dress, it's inspired me to try and mix it with cottage goth stays to make sparkly cottage goth. also love all of baby bat's myrrops and meows, so cute!

[@moth.faerie]

Ooooh that’s a good idea!! Haha baby bat makes great meows

[@theladyw]

I loved the applique detailing. And I'll admit I'm here for Baby Bat. 😉

[@moth.faerie]

lolll aren't we all

[@GoldStarWork]

It turned out beautiful

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@sophie265]

Lovely dress! Earlier this year I made my own Bridgerton dress and instead of making and wearing a "proper" shift I just wore a modern slip I already had underneath and it worked like a charm

[@moth.faerie]

Ooh that’s a good idea!

[@jenyarus7171]

Beautiful dress🤩

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@melusinenoArashi]

Beautiful dress as always. Thanks for the trick about the dart.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@Sewingistherapy]

It's so pretty. One of my favorite shades of purple.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! Me too I love muted purples 😊

[@juniperscostumery]

That color purple is an absolute DREAM and the end result is so pretty!! I definitely feel you about regency not being your favorite time period - I'm also a big fan of the big twirly skirts XD

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! As much as I love dramatic running it’s much less effort to twirl in place and JUST as dramatic 😂

[@ostergaard1of4]

I've just been binging all your videos, I have no idea why this series would not be doing any worse than others, I love it! SO useful. Your explanations of fittings are priceless.

[@moth.faerie]

Ah thank you I’m glad you liked it! I’m glad you find it useful too!

[@cinemaocd1752]

You should come to a Jane Austen Society of North America AGM...it's half convention half academic conference. Loads of people dress up in regency attire. Your sewing is wonderful and your channel is very useful for cosplay/historical dress making.

[@Khensani]

the lace/beaded trim is so pretty and love your final arrangement. i've loved this whole project, including micah's outfit

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethhatfield2115]

The dress is gorgeous! I love the lace applique along the bodice, sleeves and waistline. This video was also a little bittersweet for me since it was the first one of your I had watched since the death of my own black cat, Niki, back in late October of 2021 ( I haven't been watching much KZbin lately). Seeing Baby Bat was both heartwarming and sad at the same time; reminding me of my own times with Niki in the sewing room. Thank you. --Lyssa WA, USA

[@moth.faerie]

Oh no I’m so sorry about your cat! I hope you’re doing ok💕

[@dmcc100able]

💜OMG ITS Absolutely💜 fantastic 😮 i love the colour i love everything about it💜💜

[@susiecarson]

I’ve never seen a single episode of Bridgerton, but that hasn’t kept me from enjoying all of your videos. Thanks for the tip about the lining/main fabric darts- I never would’ve thought of that!

[@moth.faerie]

ah i'm glad you liked them!

[@elizabethvera5321]

Beautiful!

[@tikatikacos]

Turned out gorgeous!! That’s such a lovely shade of purple & the appliqués are so pretty

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! Yesss I was really happy with the color I ended up with I really love dusky purples 😊

[@kt_kam1kaze]

I love the colour and the lace of the gown! You look so pretty and sparkly 🤩

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@cemitchell6496]

Your house panther is beautiful. The dress is lovely.

[@moth.faerie]

shes a very good and ferocious house panther

[@HexxWhat]

It came out so lovely in the end! This was a fun little video journey.

[@KittieRoses]

The dress is gorgeous! The beading the lace, everything

[@moth.faerie]

Aw thank you!

[@maike__-]

Haven’t finished the video yet but that is gorgeous! 💜

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@rockencheesepuffs]

Its so pretty!! I really love the lace detailing. The whole thing looks so lovely and flowy. So so cool and very worth the wait! Can't wait for more baby bat content lol!!

[@moth.faerie]

Aah thank you! Yess definitely more baby bat content coming 😊

[@rachelash6325]

The dress turned out beautiful! I feel you on the train troubles--I gave my Rococo Princess Peach a train and I tripped over my own train so many times!

[@moth.faerie]

Oh no! Haha the trains are a danger

[@FatRollJedi]

that dress is gorgeous, love it. I'm also curious what's the next project gonna be

[@moth.faerie]

I have a few I’m working on! Quite a few quick projects

[@elainebye9090]

Lovely result! 😍 You look stunning.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@marta_sanders]

What a gorgeous dress!!! The lace aplique is so delicate and it compliments the color and fabric of the dress so well! Honestly I like it better than the dresses in Bridgerton. I'm really looking forward to more sewing videos and content!

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you so much!

[@KellyAK]

The colour is so lovely! And those embellishments are absolutely dreamy 💜💜💜

[@moth.faerie]

thank you so much!

[@ichinisa2583]

Yours is definitely the prettiest Bridgerton inspired dress I've seen in KZbin

[@moth.faerie]

Aw thank you so much 💕

[@TheStitchWitchPodcast]

This purple fabric is so beautiful!! It was pretty indoors but outside in the photoshoots it’s absolutely magical

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@wzrdreams]

Ok, I hate watch Bridgerton and I'm not a huge fan of their costumes in season 2 but YOUR costume is so so lovely!!!! I love way the outer layer floats behind you and the judicious placement of the lace and bead appliques. Bravo!!!! I keep thinking about the undergarment issue and I'm wondering if perhaps a SUPER fineweight cotton voile or batiste might have worked for a shift. The historical regency garments where famous for being scandalously shear after all. Not having a ton of shear gauzy dresses was a huge missed opportunity by the show.

[@moth.faerie]

haha thank you! ooh yeah that might work, tho i think it's more an issue of sleeves at all than the weight of the shift? i think one with just straps. may work but then it's not really protecting anything from sweat at that point

[@nix_cosplay]

How absolutely stunning! The sleeves are my favourite

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I’m really happy with how the sleeves turned out 😊

[@robynr]

I love how it turned out. While watching I had already forgotten that the finished dress had the lace. So when you added it I was like wow thats really pretty. 😂 I love the dress both plain and with the lace.

[@moth.faerie]

Haha thank you!

[@kei220]

The dress is beautiful, it looks like something a fairy in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell would wear!

[@moth.faerie]

Idk what that is but it sounds up my alley so I’ll look it up 🥰

[@belledobson2007]

Love it so much

[@samscreapaper526]

lovely! also made my own bridgerton dress/ sewing vlog! loved it to be a bit in the bridgerton vibe :D

[@coreygilles847]

It turned out 🥰 lovely

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@stevezytveld6585]

That is a really Beautiful gown. Well done. I need to get back on the sewing wagon. Right now I'm restoring a table-mounted skiver for leatherwork (she's old, she's a little rusty, but she's going to be fun to work with). I'm also stuck in the miasma of cleaning - but that's nothing new. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! Oooh that sounds exciting! I think I’ll be doing some leather working for our pirate renfair outfits so I will be right there with you 😊

[@stevezytveld6585]

@@moth.faerie Nice!

[@nniffa393]

The dress turned out lovely! This series was awesome 💚

[@jac_and_the_making_of]

Super pretty! I love the colour!

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! Yess I love dusty purples so good

[@antareslesage5611]

Hi! Thank you for sharing☺️ You look gorgeous in that sweet colour. See you in your next video 😊

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you so much! I love love dust lavenders so much 😊

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

That is a beautiful color too! It turned out great.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@Tyrysa]

Beautiful dress!

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@Rosiebud82]

The dressed turned out beautiful!

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@munka214]

Gorgeous dress, it turned out great!

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you!

[@Cassiterit3]

Aaa so beautiful! I'd love to see the construction of the apron-front Regency style you mentioned sometime.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I’m so inspired by mmejejette on ig she’s made some really beautiful regency gowns!

[@kitkat3287]

Amazing as always! I actually really liked season 2 so I was so excited for this series! ☺️

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I got about halfway through season 2 but was feeling more comedic shows so I need to go back and watch it! I liked it just fine, but it seems like the general audience isn’t as fond of it 😅

[@kuroneko5390]

I liked the second season as well! I actually liked it more then the first one since there the main couple had more chemistry. I also recently read all the books and i am excited for what comes next :)

[@adderavera6183]

I love love love your videos and they give me so much inspiration. Love from Sweden ❤️❤️

[@moth.faerie]

Aw thank you so much!

[@Rrooosa]

Yesss earlyyy😍😍

[@IRwuzzle]

Woot!

[@judy7827]

The combination of color, fabric, and appliques really worked so wonderfully together and elevated this dress. Stunning dress as always! Also, on a slightly unrelated note, where did you get the cute blue Gimme Space sweatshirt? 👀✨

[@moth.faerie]

Ah thank you! It’s from s2heartbunny she has great designs!!

[@dariaorme1282]

I think you also used flipper bones in your Alice bodice, but I don't remember if you explained how to sew them in that video.

[@moth.faerie]

Oh you’re right! I had totally forgotten 😅 thanks for the reminder 😊

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

The dress is beautiful, I love the colour of the chiffon. Give Baby Bat some smoochy kisses from me and squish him tight, my Pippa went to cat heaven today.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I’m so sorry about your cat, I hope you’re doing ok!

[@juliecain6397]

YOU PROBABLY NEED TO PUT THE HIGH POINT OF THE SLEEVE SHOULD BE A BIT FURTHER TOWARD THE BACK...TO GIVE YOUR A BIT MORE LENGTH FOR YOUR ARM TO MOVE. I COULD BE WRONG...BUT TRY IT. OLD PATTERNS DID NOT PUT THE SLEEVE IN LIKE MODERN PATTERNS DO. THINK MORE HOW THE ELIZABETHANS DID IT.

[@juliecain6397]

IF YOU HAD DONE SOMETHING WITH YOUR HAIR...UP WITH SOME OF THAT LACE AND A BIT OF RIBBON...TO MATCH THE DRESS. LEAVING HAIR DOWN DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER GIRLS GREW OLD ENOUGH TO MARRY...ERGO TO WEAR SUCH COSTUMES.
