The Starbucks Gown! || ft. Karolina Żebrowska

Basic B**** but make it 1700's.
FINALLY a collab with none other than Meme Mom herself, Karolina Zebrowska.
GO WATCHHH her video: • Coca-Cola Dress But It...
We decided that it would be fun to take super well-known brands and make them into historical dresses. This project basically killed me BUT I learned a lot and also swore a lot!

When you make a period dress of this magnitude, let there be no apologies for sourcing new material. The MASSIVE effort and scale of all serious sewing projects but particularly stuff of this scope deserves absolutely dependable material in a style and colour you know you won't fall out of love with. One of the best things about sewing is how you can rescue and reuse things, but sewing is so time-consuming and all-consuming in general that this shouldn't be treated as a moral must for hobby sewists. I admire your ambition and efforts here.

[@tonnykwint]

Hot tip for preservation of paterns: NEVER CUT UP YOUR ORIGINAL PATERN, but trace your patern on patern paper. Keep the original in tact. This way you can cut out different sises if you gain or lose weight or would like to make something for somebody else. It also helps with storage and losing pieces, because you'll always be able to trace it again if necessary. This way you can also endlessly experiment with alterations without having to worry about ruining your patern. It takes up a little more time, but the pro's outweigh the cons.

[@erikaannabosnyak9307]

Last week I started doing this. Highlighted the size I needed and used a transparent plastic sheet (idea is not mine but my friend who is a sailmaker) to copy the pieces. Took me a few hours but I have a durable pattern now.

[@luciaaaaahoag]

My mom taught me to cut out the biggest size of the pattern and cut notches into the corners and turns so that its foldable and pinnable at different sizes... I haven't sewn since like 2018 so I can't say if it actually works or not lol

If she truly had any patience, she would have washed & ironed the fabric & ironed the pattern & made a toile first & she wouldn't have left vast chunks of the instructions incomplete; she would have finished the dress as the pattern instructed so the dress wouldn't fall open when she sat down.

[@jennycvek677]

Joanne Carroll the patience, creativity, and direction required to even START this project is noteworthy. It’s so easy to get exasperated with sewing projects and just throw in the (sometimes literal) towel-especially if it’s just you working on it. The fact that she stuck with it even when frustrated and completed it as well as she did shows she’s dedicated. I think every creative person loses their patience in projects from time to time-sometimes we have to cut unimportant corners to keep our sanity.

It´s great seeing you reaching for the stars with such a complicated project! I´ve been sewing for years and never attempted a robe a la francais, it scares me to death. Very well done!

[@belagracie]

Hunnycaramel Dont be intimidated! You CAN do it, one seam at a time. I’ve been sewing for 30 years, and still get intimidated by sleeves, but with a lot of care (swearing, seam ripping, and frustration) I CAN do them. But a robe a la francais is fairly simple when compared to an 1860’s style Civil War day dress. Cartridge pleating is an invention of demons, yet I managed to make three of them for my cousin, who is a Civil War reenactor. Nothing is too hard if you take baby steps!

[@Hunnycaramel]

Jaynie Nowell-Snoke Thank you, how kind of you to encourage me! I’ll try to keep that in mind!

[@DodiTov]

@@belagracie Sleeves aren't a thing for me, but zippers? Gaaaah! Couple of tips that I learned from tailoring (yeah, they're different). First, DON'T sew the side seam to the bodice before you pin the sleeves, just the shoulder seam is enough. Match the dots on a flat surface! Made a huge difference when I discovered that! The gathering/easing is much more precise if you are able to do it without the added stress of trying to deal with shapes. Once the sleeve is inset, use trimming the inner curve rather than clipping both allowances. It lays flatter and you don't get that distressing pucker. A second seam 1/16th from the first takes care of fraying, and doesn't add bulk. After the setting of the curve of the sleeve, that "matching" of the two seams of the bodice and sleeves disappears...you just sew one seam from cuff to waist. No more swearing about matching those two seams together.

The dress looks fabulous! I love the siren tails. If you add a bunch of coffee/Starbucks related stuff to the hat it’ll be a little better. This was great to watch! Thanks for doing this and thanks for collaborating with meme mom!!! ❤️❤️❤️
