Another Retrofuture Dress // Pointed Peplums & Iridescent Sleeves

[@drhotdog489]

I am OBSESSED with your retro future aesthetic such a new vibe I am absolutely in a chokehold.

[@lovoniaparks]

YES CHOKEHOLD! The aesthetic is about to drop the elbow on me from the top ropes! Bout to tap out! ❤️ Love all of the fashionable creations.

[@chaeburger]

I totally agree!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! 🤣❤️

[@jmwilson6792]

Chokehold eh? 😈

[@kellyrose3905]

This is SO good. Maybe host a Villainess's night out with friends? Because as my sister pointed out this dress is very "evil space empress" and it's fantastic.

[@SauronsAccntnt]

Ooohh exactly! That perfectly captures the vibe I was getting too

[@simonecummings9157]

I was thinking a mob bosses wife.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kelly!

[@deelorean2956]

Absolutely zero complaints if you want to keep on with these retro futurism looks. They're all fantastic!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@kimberlydonohoe3427]

Absolutely fabulous. As a fan of sci-fi, vintage fashion, and statement making clothes...it is perfect.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kimberly!

[@kathyjohnson2043]

Shows like project runway are more drama then design, but if there was a legit venue, your creativity and aesthetic would take the top prize!

[@bellasmith8821]

Agreed! I would love to see a drama free version where it's just a bunch of super passionate people like Bianca making things like this without ridiculous timeframes, just good vibes and making great clothes

[@J_Kwan]

Would love to see her on something like Next in Fashion

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kathy! I bet some youtubers get more views than tv shows do...and no producers being tricky with the footage to create silliness either is a big bonus!

[@caitlynmyers5735]

I showed my husband the finished dress and he said, "Why would she christen the rocket ship when she could captain it?"

The sleeves!The shape. Oh, I am feeling this aesthetic. Beautiful!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I LOVE this dress! Really I've been loving the whole Shiny Fabric Shenanigans situation that's been happening, but those sleeves are tipping it even further!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Shiny sleeves, had to be done ✨

[@ghostsandcoffee126]

@@TheClosetHistorian But like, now I want all my dresses to have some kind of awesome statement sleeve. This is gonna be dangerous for my wallet 🤣

[@rachelkanode2063]

LOL, I love that you don't like French seams because of the double stitching, but for the multi-piece dresses, we gotta have the topstitching. 🤣 Also feel like this shiny series is blessedly timed for Pride month, all of these ensembles are giving me queer-Bird-of-Paradise vibes, and I'm here for it!! 🏳‍🌈🐦

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rachel!! ✨🌈

[@doblemaltita]

this is absolutely true

The reveal was beyond my comprehension… it’s an 11/10.

Thank you Jasmine!

Having previously taught a class exclusively on zipper insertion, I can assure you that basting is the answer....which is why I personally avoid zippers if I can help it.

Thank you Lacy!

I can’t tell you how amazing this looks. Your creativity and proficiency is outstanding. Such a fan! This is new series of yours is my favorite. Keep it up and thank you for being such a source of creativity!

Thank you so much! 💜

[@cassafrass098]

this is insaaaaaaaane. I thought I loved your retrofuture real estate agent outfit but WHATEVER THIS IS has stolen my heart.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@DevonDowner]

THESE BEETLE WINGS ARE EEEEVERYTHING!!! Oh my god. I want a beetle dress but with either a black or daaark purple with the shiny wings. Wowowooww this is my new fav project of yours!!

[@megb9700]

Yes on those sleeves!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Deborah!

[@ZeroGravity514]

You in this dress popped on screen and I spontaneously said, out loud, "Oh my Gawd that is freaking awesome!!" Couldn't help it. Wow!!

[@WantedVisual]

Gonna file this under "things i would wear, all the time, everwhere, including funerals and grocery store, if I could own one". My machine flips out when I get near it with stretch, and I'm pretty sure my wife would be upset if I blew the savings account on the Husqvarna of my dreams.

[@ashleyr6174]

buy the machine 🤣 my best friend has two husqvarna machines and they’re powerhouses. well worth the expense.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

What a rude little machine to be so sensitive! Check craigslist for a cheapy ancient one, my 1955 doesn't mind the stretch and spandex wasn't even invented when she was made 😂

[@nicoleandtime]

OMG absolutely amazing. You could keep making razy colorblocked things like this forever and I'd never stop watching. You are spectacular

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Nicole!

[@belindacoba5158]

I remember when you made the color blocking total recall dress, that it was very dificult for you and now you are doing things far more complicated and using different types materials and mastering the technique!!!. Amazing series...

[@chaeburger]

I don't think you should apologize. I am thoroughly loving your current Shine™ period!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Chae! I always think "surely no one wants to see another shiny thing?" but then the video does better than I expect, so clearly I should just keep sewing 😅❤️

AHH!!!! Space villain energy!! YES. PLEASE.

[@molnotmole3428]

If I ever get super powers I want you to design my costume. I’ll be waiting for that trench coat, it sounds amazing!

Team Obsessed for sure. I do not know where to wear this either, but I guess I will try in future what corporate office withstands 😀😂

Looving this game of thrones meets black mirror era design, cant wait to watch the video!

[@barbaradevan7605]

This may be my favorite yet. I love watching you sew, you do such a beautiful job. It is absolutely lovely on you. You should be very proud of yourself.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Barbara!

Thank you Sharon!

[@juliemeanor6531]

Wow, magnificent. Even better you could hide a pocket under the peplum.

[@lynn858]

I would totally do that!

[@WindspielArt]

wow that dress is awesome! Nothing I personally would wear but I love the design! Designs like this are the reason I think sewing isnt a "craft" as many say (or not only) but art!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Gwen!

[@valhallafiasco1932]

That dress and fabric combo are glorious! Also perfect timing on how to make those sleeves. I'm about to start on a dramatic house robe and was thinking of making sleeves just like that!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Epic sleeves are a gift ✨

[@thesavingsorceress]

I may me a bit late to this video, but I have to say this dress is one of the greatest looks I HAVE EVER SEEN. I can’t express to you how much I love what you’ve created. Retrofuturism is one of my absolute favorite aesthetics and areas of study. I will definitely be using this video as inspiration for some future looks without a doubt!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!!

[@becauseimafan]

15:13 The transition! The change in your voiceover! 😂 It is perfection! I am so looking forward to how you put this together and the reveal 🤩

[@becauseimafan]

Oh. My. God. This project... Your dress is amazing! Like, it's so gorgeous, dramatic, a _statement_ and I like what it says!! It needs a better word than dress, something grand, but idk what it could be. Y'know, actually, I know exactly what your dress made me think of, and feel - it's that iconic quote from the movie Addams Family Values, where Gomez Addams says: Woo her, admire her. *Make her feel like she is the most sublime creature on Earth.* ♥️ Loved this. I just loved this! ♥️

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@wingedambition]

yesssss. also the music for the reveal was so well chosen, i had to pause before seeing the final product because i could tell by the music that i should sit down and put all my focus into witnessing this, and the music was correct

Same!!

You could wear it to a retro-futuristic-blacklight hologram prewedding surprise party. Or, possibly just to to the party as the mad alchemist black light hologram bar tender?

[@kathyjohnson2043]

Or trader joes!

[@jeanlinder1310]

UTTERLY FABULOUS!!! You need to take all of these amazing futuristic dresses and make a short film about a woman who moves to another planet and needs each dress for a specific occasion. The kittens could make a guest appearance as her fabulous pets.

Ha! Thank you Jean!

Great video! The side back looks ok, actually. I think we're all more aware of the flaws in our sewing projects, even when they aren't really that noticeable. I love the iridescent sleeve lining. I should make a dress like this the next time I'm invited to a spaceship party ;)

This style is so fun. I have no idea where to actually wear it in real life so it is nice to watch someone else live out my sewing fantasies. LOL. Your sewing methodology make so much sense to me. Maybe some more pieces that could be worn everyday. Not boring and regular but more everyday. In my fantasy world I would live in modified regency. You know. Empire waist and floor length. So comfortable yet can be classy done right. Maybe when I stop working in a factory where dresses just do not work for every day. Thanks for making me happy.

Thank you! I don't know these characters I'm afraid, but I trust they are glam 😅✨

[@Gandellion]

@@TheClosetHistorian Whoops sorry, they’re from Star Trek: Voyager, one of their holodeck programs is Captain Proton which is a cheesy 60s sci-fi. In one of the episodes ofc space shenanigans ensues and the holodeck characters become sentient and they can’t turn it off, they have to play out the story to the end, and the GLORIOUS Captain Kathryn Janeway has to assume the role of Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People. Very much this vibe
