What they should have worn in Bridgerton

It really is a shame that no movie or tv show has tried to tackle the English Regency Court Gown. Because they are so wonderfully ridiculous. This week, I'm finishing the bodice and sleeves, styling my 1790s wig, and creating the various parts of the 1790s court gown headdress, in anticipation of finishing my court gown.

I shut off personalized ads on KZbin so whatever ad I get is based on the video I’m watching. If I’m watching something political I get a political ad and if I’m watching something home improvement I get siding ads. If I’m watching one of you costume ladies I get a brassiere ad or a makeup ad. Today was a first. KZbin decided that the court dress video was an ideal location to place a HarleyDavidson ad. And thinking about it I think this outfit would look pretty damn impressive on a Harley Davidson.

[@elisacoffey5140]

Thank you for sharing this. Because now I have a delightfully silly image in my head.😂

[@lenabreijer1311]

I just pay the monthly fee and see no commercials at all.

[@Mums_a_knitter]

Could you ride the Harley side saddle and hide the entire bike under the panniers?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

😂😂😂 I feel like you'd get blown right off a motorcycle in this outfit. Too many ways to catch the wind!

[@ShakespeareDoomsday]

Lol I still have personalized ads on and, despite specifically going in and selecting “not parents” because I’m staunchly childfree, I’m still getting constant diaper and Uber teen account ads. Like, at least give me ads for youth-sized shoes and socks instead because I actually wear those! Turning them off on Facebook worked well (I think it’s based on clicks there so I mostly get British and Polish bra ads because they actually make my size), so I’m definitely considering doing that on KZbin as well.

[@samanthagirly3350]

This is giving “fancy hobbit” and I’m so here for it.

[@sleepycalico]

Yes, I was going to say the same thing. Samwise's wife, Rosie Cotton, all dressed up.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh it's definitely a great wig for a Hobbit too!

[@jmchau]

Your dog does exquisite work. It's amazing how dexterous those little claws can be!

[@phranerphamily]

80s big hair was THE BEST! I'd carry a can of aqua net super ultra hold in my purse to keep it that big even with a night of dancing. Loving this project!

[@bohemiansusan2897]

I had last anger 80s hair and the volume was about 4"high. Then around 86' I went punk/New Wave and my hair was just straight upwards in spikes. I still.use Aqua Net but probably 1/100,000ths less of it. A whole can last maybe a year instead of a week lol.

[@brooklynbaby1987]

I love the dress you’re working on but I couldn’t help notice the blue dress you’re wearing at the end of the video. I absolutely adore it. 🥰 It’s giving Fairy Godmother vibes.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! I made that one last summer (there's a video on it if you go back to last July or so)

[@Emmajen]

Rebecca, this is so FREAKING CUTE. That wig, turban, pouf, feather combo is so charming on you!!! This is so freaking awesome.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! ☺️

[@Beth-ch7pj]

That dress is HUGE omg 😂. I really love the effect you managed to create with the neck lace - its really pretty! And the gold lace and red silk combo on the train is very beautiful 😍. Im looking forward to the (eventual!) reveal!

[@DOSBoxMom]

That overrobe bodice looks especially luxurious with the gold lace trim!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

I have never seen lace used as mock fur. Really cool looking. :)

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

I like the wig color you got. As a grey haired lady, I must say that grey wigs are few and far between. Also luckily for me, they are the shades that result when you originally had very dark hair. If I was you, I'd go for a platinum blonde Instead of true gray if I needed a "grey" wig. I really enjoy these types of videos when you explain your decisions.

[@EilonwyG]

I am loving that hair! And all that trim is so pretty and fruffy! Regency court attire may be ridiculous, but you are working it!

[@KyraDAVIS-jw6fi]

I still think it would be fascinating to mark the different artworks for each Bridgerton character. Your gown looks gorgeous on and off you

[@bohemiansusan2897]

Been fun to follow this video series. In the town of 40,000+ people, I'm the only one that sews clothes. The rest all sew quilts, so the Internet is the only place I can be with.others who sew clothes. I am envious of your having the means to afford such projects. I'm on disability and well living in my Kids' basement in my later 50s. One day, I will be able to do a.project or two from Simplicity's costume line. Mine will be totally Gothed out 😊. Recently my kids bought me quite a bit of various nice quality fabrics and am slowly planning out turning them into contemporary creations. Am going to sew a simple black Ponte knit A line skirt with a subtle profile. Then I plan I plan with on a neo 70s blouse with a long pointed collar and sleeves that puff out just before the cuff. Will have both front and back fisheye darts. The fabric is a black/red/white/grey stripe quilting cotton. My youngest son bought it for me when I saw it in the clearance for $1.20 A yd at Wal-Mart.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

The wonderful thing is, this is actually one of my cheapest costumes in a long time, because so much of it is from the stash!

[@twinnish]

You looked like you were having a lot of FUN with this over the top confection. It’s pretty and fun and slightly ridiculous and 😍 love it.

[@tinaj984]

I'm in awe of this gown. It has me just speechless...when it is done, it may just be your finest project, at least to me. I love the colors, the lace, the cap, all of it. I know you will be beautiful in it. Its a wow...😍😍😍💖💖💖

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww thank you!

[@Lamdennison]

I think I actually started following you when you were doing that sewing/pincushion hat video. Wow! The wig looks so much better on your than on the website. Good for you finding a diamond in the rough. And you are SO ADORABLE!

[@TheEternallyAggrieved1999]

I believe they where still lightly powdering hair until the powder tax of 1795. It probably lingered at court awhile longer too.

[@noraleestone2859]

Oh nooo!! Not the powder tax! 😲😱🤣😝

[@hannabusse8137]

I swear, every time I click one of your videos, I wind up thinking "she's so pretty!!!" It's just fact at this point.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww, thank you! ☺️

[@alexiscarlton1355]

I think that blond and gold trim will become a fashion trend again. Love your work and thank you for sharing :D.

[@lynndragon2536]

mmm the blue dress at the end (which we saw you make) is kinda given me 'fairy godmother vibes' in a goodway

[@MaryanneNZ]

I'm listening and my suggestion is to take the star brooch and use the gold lace to make a basic rosette by gathering the lace into a central point, and put the star in it.

[@dee-annegordon5959]

The red with the gold lace looks so rich and the overall garment is looking amazing. Can't wait to see it complete.

[@23Datcat]

As always, I am super impressed with the beautiful gowns you create. A suggestion for your lace trim. I used to attach that sort of trim to angel gowns, and to anchor down the loopy bits, I used a Hopping Foot (sometimes called a darning, open toe, or free motion quilting foot) in conjunction with lowering the feed dogs on my machine. This allows you to sew in any direction without having to stop and start as you move your fabric around. It takes practice for sure, but cuts the time to sew around the loopy bits. I think for me, my favourite parts (although the whole thing is wonderful) are the bodice fronts and neck treatment, that train, and the whole head piece, including the lovely curly wig. I think you have made lovely style choices.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh good idea - I actually have that foot, but haven't tried using it.

[@paulacarlson4365]

You look so cute with that wig and the feathers!!!! Dress is coming along great!!!

[@michellecornum5856]

I really like the pink tassel. It's so shiny.

[@ghostsandcoffee126]

I absolutely adore the wig+pouf+feather+tassel situation! It's so cute!

[@custoMary.designs.creations]

it's giving Maid Marian, Robinhood Men in Tights and I adore it.

[@THELOVEOFMYLIFE89]

I cant wait for the reveal and costume college i really like your past videos on costume college , very excited for you and this video !

[@hrhprincesstricia4734]

The puff hat is definitely giving me Bernard from the Santa Clause, but that might just be the curls.

[@samanthagirly3350]

😂😂😂 I totally see it now and now I cannot unsee it 😂😂😂

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Haha! I can totally see that! And since I'm distantly related to David Krumholtz, I feel like that makes it even more fitting.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Everything about this gown is pretty amazing. I haven't been hearing much CoCo buzz yet. "Costumes of Stage and Screen." I'm thinking there'll be lots of Bridgerton there, but I think I'd make a Streisand gown. Funny Girl, Hello Dolly..... SciFi fans will have their day to shine. Your Swim Dress is right on this year's theme!! I can't wait!!

[@furlizard]

Love it! I hope you remake it into something you'll wear more often after your big reveal, cos you looked gorgeous.

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

I didn’t think you would show the skirt too, with the train…so lovely. What great work you do! 31:29

[@gabrielleseeley4117]

What a beautiful project!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@izzy13belle]

What a fun project! I've really enjoyed following along, can't wait to see the whole ensemble!

[@RianShafer]

This whole outfit will be amazing on! Looking forward to the reveal even if we have to wait!

[@MaryanneNZ]

Also, this is so fantastic. It's kind of a la Turque eh!

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

28:33 It looks like you are being attacked by an ostrich. :)

[@Kalissa313]

Could you use a hair pin to just pin the ribbon/lace in your wig maybe? You can attach to either hair or fabric and be able to change your mind

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

The bodice and headpiece are pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

33:59 This is seriously my house dress. Like just standing in one place in my room. Elegance!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I had gone to see a show and out to dinner, so I had decided to go a little fancier than normal. 😉

[@TheEternallyAggrieved1999]

You took what's supposed to be an awkward and peculiar oddity from fashion history and actually made it look so very regal and beautiful. I love the feathers. Where do you get your ostrich feathers btw ? I have so much trouble finding good ones for my 1910s hats.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! These were actually part of a feathers class from costume college a couple years ago - I haven't purchased any others quite so large otherwise.

[@Zlecky]

I will get to see it at Costume college!!! Whee

[@lazygardens]

The missed opportunity for sheer slapstick and hilarity as fashionable women complain about the hideous travesty that is a court gown ...

[@Grace-ms7un]

I would definitely do some trolling 😂

[@Groovygrace365]

This is Loki g so fantastic! I think it’s one of my favorites :D. Also… could Lion get any cuter?

[@MildredCady]

You won lace chicken!

[@louiselund2419]

It I gorgeous ❤

[@roxiepoe9586]

I really love the curly wig. It is cute.

[@suecarol1563]

And the color works really well.

[@wangofree]

It's giving me Hobbit vibes! Without the headdress I mean. So cute!

[@JenInOz]

The wig gives me Nicole Kidman in BMX Bandits vibes!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I'm not familiar with the movie, but I take it it's the big 80s hair?

[@therosestudiobybarbaraandi9899]

question. How are you traveling with your beautiful gigantic creation if you can't leave the house with on it on.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Because everything packs down flat! (Though I will have to be careful packing the feathers).

[@Heothbremel]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

I wonder if I could do that style with my natural hair. It gets very curly when I wash it. 13:42

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Mine does too, but I have nowhere near that volume or quantity. Hence the wig! 😉

[@elizharber3564]

🧵✨

[@lornaperryman489]

Nothing to do with the beautiful dress you're making but I heard you say once upon a time that Lion was having problems. Is all ok now?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

He had a tumor removed and he's on chemotherapy right now. I think we might find out at next month's appointment if it has been at all effective so far.

[@lornaperryman489]

@LadyRebeccaFashions thank you. Prayers fir total recovery.

[@MrNatethraB]

That has to be one of the ugliest effing dresses ever! (In a good way of course because I’m pretty sure that was the intention) Kinda looks like a dirndl? You are one talented woman! Legit with how bridgerton budget was this dress would’ve been a snap! The could’ve atleast had Queen Charlotte and her ladies in it. But alas the hype is dead and the fans are outraged.

[@jayneterry8701]

Wig giving me 3 Musketeers 😍! Think about it my Lady 😉 I like how your fur came out.👍💓 I was reading a Tam o shanter but then you said turban- right ! 😊 Did you make a plastic template for tracing markings for the sequins? That would speed up the marking. It's coming along nicely. 🩷 ps Good work Lion 😊

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I probably should have made a template, but I'm just freehanding the scallops in between measured dots marking their apexes.
