You're a perfect size for 1830s. The proportions are perfect for your height. You can also wear that color of orange well, too.

[@EclecticJessie]

Dora! Who knew you were so fashionable!!

[@roslynholcomb]

1830’s is an absolute scream. Those silhouettes are so much fun.

[@emilyrln]

Those sleeves are giving me LIFE!!! Also that color looks fantastic on you, very flattering with your hair and skin tone!

[@rebeccachatfield6435]

Love the little cape your skills are amazing

[@DOSBoxMom]

Dora was such a good sport tolerating her "pumpkin dress" as long as she did! A lot of pets just do NOT like wearing clothes at all.

[@MsMayhap]

The green bonnet also looks super good with the orange. A little stem, lol

[@werelemur1138]

Dora was such a good meowdel! 1830s sleeves have the same kind of gonzo energy as a lot of the wilder 1980s fashions.

"This is basically the content you're all here for, anyway." You bet ya! The gorgeous clothes and seeing how they're made is just icing on the cake!

[@donnacoleman4624]

Oh my goodness, Dora looks amazing in that color! She needs an outfit too❤ You did such a fantastic job on your dress and the accessories are superb. Even though the hat isn't 100% to your liking it turned out beautiful and looks like it fits very well. This is one of my favorite projects you've done. It's giving me the itch to do an 1830s outfit for myself😊

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you! You totally should!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That looks lovely! Dora seems to be thrilled with this era! I love that you think nothing of making doll dresses for yourself! They always look stunning.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@kirabowie]

The whole ensemble came out really pretty!! 😍 The orange not only looks great on you, but Dora looks awesome in it too! 🙂

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@kirabowie]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions You'e welcome! Happy Turkey Day to you!!🦃

[@margarethall1625]

The dress and accessories turned out lovely. My sister's cat Alexander had to watch with me. I think he really likes Dora. So does my cat Cosmo. She was awwdorable in her pumpkin dress as she was in the hat. I'm so glad you finally had the chance to make your matching dress to your doll's dress.

I love it all!! The bonnet looks perfect to me!! What a joy to wear, I'm sure!!!😍💖💖💖

Thanks!

[@denisebennett3144]

Whole outfit is stunning. Congratulations on upsizing a difficult doll pattern.

[@lucyj8204]

"Because, you know, boobs" sums up so many pattern alterations 🤣

[@leemacdonald2329]

Great Job. You look lovely in your ensemble.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@apriljodoin9643]

Nice🎉love the bonnet🎉

[@CookieScrat]

I've never made an 1830s outfit for me, but I was inspired by you to make one for a doll! Not an AG doll since I don't have any x) I tried to think of ways to style her hair in one of those silly 1830s hairstyles, but I don't think I can do it without cutting some of her hair, so I think I'll just make her a ginormous bonnet too! I think the 1830s is one of those periods of time in fashion where you initially go "what the hell am I looking at?" and as time goes on you find yourself more and more attracted to it and you're like "it's so funky I need one for myself" haha

[@michellecornum5856]

Very cute. I love the colors of the bonnet. I think fashion eras only occur in three flavors: So Beautiful, What Were You Thinking?! and Boring. This is really cute. Nicely done getting things in the right place. Bravo!

[@nurmihusa7780]

Hahaha. Indeed!

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

That outfit looks really good 😻😻 The accessories make such a difference!

[@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486]

Can confirm the current edition of Costume in Detail does have a red cover and I concur - it’s the best book!

[@Siennaflower]

I like the purple ribbons hanging down your back. ❤

[@marcco44]

beyond perfection each and every time👏👏👏🍁🦃🥧

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww thanks!

[@noraleestone2859]

25:21 Awwww - Dora is such a cutie-pie! 🥰😘😁 She's so well-behaved in her outfit. 😂😹😻

[@sally-annebuck4550]

Really wonderful!

[@dee-annegordon5959]

I love the finished look with all it's accessories. I've never made anything 1830s, but it's on the list. Everything about it just seems so fun and over the top.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! You definitely should try 1830s!

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

That is an amazing dress & bonnet. 💖

[@Eneri-z9v]

Maybe I should make a pellerine to go with my dresses 👗& shirts👚. I love giving my clothes some variety. Thats what women in the lower classes did 🔙 in those days. I have seven dresses 👗hanging up in my closet. I should start making detachable collars 😊. I love 😍 the idea 💡 of detachable collars floating through my wardrobe 😊.

[@Eneri-z9v]

😺Dora does looks cute in her outfit 😺🫶.

[@Sweepear]

Outstanding! ❤

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@moniqueforrester674]

That silhouette is flawless!!!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@joecoloff4247]

This turned out amazing

[@DOSBoxMom]

Added "Costume in Detail" to my Amazon wish list. I don't sew historical costumes, but I love reading about them!

[@SandieMitchell]

You nailed it!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

Hi, Re: buckram. If you use hat buckram (I'm not familiar with curtain buckram so I leave that to others), that kind of interfacing comes in two different versions it seems, broadly speaking. It can have glue on one side or both sides. The glue side is usually a bit shiny. The glue is usually a PVA type glue, and to activate you need water and or steam. So hitting it with a lot of steam should do the trick. I too would have sewn it in, as the buckram I'm familiar with is the type you wet and then block on a hat block or a wig head (don't miss putting plastic wrap or cling film on your block or head or they'll get soaked). Shock! Horror!... hot glue on your hat😉😊. I'm a hat and millinery enthusiast, so of course you sew everything, so don't mind me. I'm glad to see the final product, and hat of course (the hat thing again). I won't be afraid to use satin if I want to after this video, not that I can find a reason to at the moment. Satin is usually susceptible to staining, so on a more use as sun protection modern hat I don't think it'll be practical. I might use it as decoration though, especially with domet or mulligan what ever that is (Google university comes up blank), some kind of smooth wading I'm guessing. Lovely project. The chemisette or dickie looks a bit usable even in modern terms. I'm going to have to put that on my lengthening to do list. The cat content is beautiful. However I tend to get a bit concerned when said cat lies down on a pin. I'm just going to assume that the cat and the pins aren't in the same place without supervision, and save myself a cardiac event. Yours, Ann

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Don't worry - Dora isn't allowed in the sewing room without supervision. And I do normally try to pull her away from laying down on scissors and pins, however much she may want to.

[@lornas-w4661]

Ta daaaa

[@aprilhill8738]

Love how this turned out! I just purchased the Molly pattern (and the related patterns) from Pemberley Threads for my 18” dolls and got a whimsical Christmas fabric to make it up in. I think such an over the top dress will look amazing in an over the top fabric, but don’t plan to make myself the matching set 😂.

[@KahoriFutunaka]

Love the finished outfit! Very autumny. Also, you hairdos are always amazing, they really "sell" every period you wear. Now please excuse me, I must venture to sew a Pelerine of my own. You made me warm up to them.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! Good luck with your pelerine!

[@wangofree]

I made a full 1830s outfit about a year ago and I love it. That era is so much fun!!

[@katwitanruna]

Love it all!!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@adrianamancuso4917]

Wonderful dress!! ❤

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@DOSBoxMom]

Are there no human-size patterns for an 1830s-style pelerine? Thank goodness you at least found dimensions for human-size pelerines in that book!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

There probably are, but I don't own any.

[@threerings13]

So I don't know if you just do this for time or whatever, and I'm not criticizing but the way I've always done hats is to assemble the full cylinder of the crown first with just buckram (stitching it), cover that with mull using glue to help hide the seam overlap, and then stitch the fabric into a closed cylinder, attach that to the top of the hat inside out and then pull it down over the crown. That gets you a smooth finished surface though it's a little more difficult and time consuming.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I actually had attempted to do that first, with what I wound up using as the lining, but it wasn't giving me a smooth fit.

[@MysteryMommy1]

Delightful!

[@teddy-3765]

LOVE it!!! It came out great!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@Skirt553]

"They are super super wide across the shoulders, and super short in the torso"... They're similarly shaped to me, but I've got more generous chest measurements. lol

[@Monster_Momma]

What's the cube storage system in the background, ikea? It looks very useful and organized.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yep, it's IKEA. It's the large kallax, though tbh, I'm not sure they make them this large anymore.

[@katwitanruna]

Do you prewash your poly satins? Curious.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

No. I only pre-wash fabrics that I'm going to wash later.

[@katwitanruna]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions ah. I wonder if washing that particular fabric might dull it a wee bit. I find sizing does every so much to change how fabric behaves and looks. I am a curious Kat! 😂

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

​@@katwitanrunaI would think possibly? If you test it, let me know the results!

[@katwitanruna]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions I don’t have space to sew at the moment but if I do I shall!
