Sewing Fluffy Victorian Underwear || Making an 1860s Chemise and Drawers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- I made a set of Victorian chemise and drawers as a base layer for my cosplay of Hannah Alexander's Alice in Wonderland Design. This is the first construction video of the series and I think we're off to a pretty good start! I'm using historical research from the mid-Victorian era, specifically the 1860s, since that's the decade Alice in Wonderland was written and the silhouette that seems to most suit the design.
In this video I show my process for altering a commercial pattern and go through the fitting process for non-fitted undergarments.

Abby cox has a whole video where they talk about tucking or untucking the chemise/drawers sitch. Basically, your choice! Tuck into each leg hole if split drawers, or over depending on your bathroom prefs. Some people only tuck the back since its easier for them
More importantly, we are still standing with you and all of our Aapi brothers and sisters in this ongoing struggle
thank you so much! on both topics💕I think I've personally decided I like the chemise tucked in better because it gets so uncomfortable if it twists around and the drawers help prevent that a little bit 😅
Hi. Beautifully produced video, as always.
I'm so sorry you're having a bad week. Living through the echo's of the shots in the weeks following is never easy. Nor is it easy to watch people in authority play down the hate part of the crime. It's unacceptable. I'm sorry you have to experience this. Stay safe. Be well.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it ❤ I've been doing a lot of journalling and reflection selfc-care so I'm definitely feeling less distraught this week and hopefully we can all work towards a less hateful and scary world
That chemise pattern brings back memories! When I was a teenager (omg it was almost 20 years ago now wtf) my mom and I made me an outfit from this era for Pioneer Trek. Basically where Mormon teenagers go and walk and pull handcarts for a few days to reenact our ancestors' journey to Utah. This was the chemise pattern we used, and I think we also used it for the drawers. We didn't get a chance to make a corset, as badly as I wanted one, but we made a hoop skirt (it kept collapsing; it definitely wasn't the best) and two dresses. I loved the chemise so much, and I wore it the most out of all of the pieces we made for that ensemble. It had lace with dark red ribbon threaded through it on the yoke and sleeves. ❤
haha that sounds like fun! especially getting to dress up, most of my dressing up was in my own house, it sounds like fun to dress up with friends as a kid!
Even under immense stress and in pain after a traumatic crime….you do exquisite work and as always I enjoy your videos. I also think it is beneficial to express emotions and be honest about our feelings. I know this was several months ago but still sending positive vibes and energy your way.
Thank you so much 💕
This is the prettiest chemise I've seen. New to your channel and I'm loving the historical cosplay. This is such a fun and creative way to go about things
aw thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it and thank you for watching!
Great video. The chemise/drawers are beautiful. Great job. I can't imagine what it's like in the U.S. right now but I wish you all the best and hope things improve because hate can't win.
thank you so much ❤ unfortunately the events of the last couple weeks aren't that uncommon and the people who run the country seem to have no interest in changing it.. but doing my best to take care of myself and make change where I can even if it's small!
Your Chemise and drawers are absolutely beautiful. I stand with you, and I am so sorry for what your feeling and going through. Its honestly just been a scary time, just know your are not alone. Sending you healing vibes.
thank you so much! for the compliments and the vibes, both are very appreciated 😊❤ it definitely helps to feel other people's support
Awesome video~ I’ve been so obsessed with sewing videos of historical garments
I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you are safe.
Your chemise is really beautiful
I'm safe, I live in a different state! Thank you for your concern! ❤
Sending so much love to you and your community! ❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much! ❤
When my cat meows I meow back, but when I heard Baby Bat meowing I thought it was my cat so I just meowed for no reason 😫 family thinks I’m weirder than usual tonight 😂
Such a pretty chemise!! Looking forward to watching my way through the rest of this project ^^
Oooh! This looks super cool already :)
It's pretty nice to see what it'll look like when I use this exact pattern for my Esmeralda cosplay at the end of the year.
I'm sending you the best vibes during these troubling times. I know I had trouble last may/june.
Anyways, prop making is the worst I agree lol
thanks! ooh are you doing the movie version or an original design? either way that's so exciting, I'll keep an eye out for it! and thank you for the good vibes ❤ it's weird bc it's not like any of the racism or violence is or new or shocking but it gets shoved down so much it suddenly becomes very overwhelming seeing it everywhere. but i'm feeling a little less overwhelmed every day and trying to do what I can to help make change. I hope the same for you! If I ever make a props video I'll have to bleep the whole thing out it will be one giant f-bomb
@@moth.faerie it will be an original design. Still inspired by the movie color palette though. I want more fabric, more lace, more jewels 😂
Saw your vid on SAI!!! I can’t wait for your channel to blow up ~ your content is so cool
Thank you so much this is such a sweet thing to say! ❤️
Your Tudor petticoat video was in my recommended and as soon as that ended I came here since this chemise made an appearance in that and it is SO PRETTY! The neckline of it is gorgeous!!!
aw thank you so much, haha glad you liked it!
That looks amazing!! I think the super low neckline would annoy me. I love the color choices and the hand embroidery!!
I love the color choice for this project. Undergarments tend to be white, but the dark blue is super elegant and lovely.
thank you!
I love the reveal of all your hard work.
aw thank you!
I love this chemise! You definetly inspired me to try making a dress.
I know these videos were from a while ago but came across them as I've been missing historical costuming vlogs and love your style. Also just wanted to say I'm extremely sorry you and other people in the Asian community had to go through all this.
You deserve a place to breathe and just feel safe to grieve. What happened in Atlanta is traumatizing, and the fact that the police and media have the audacity to say this wasn't a hate crime is both false and harmful. We all unfortunately have heard the stereotypes that lead to this, and we have all heard the hate spewed for years. This wasn't surprising and it's awful how little was done to work against it before this happened. Thank you so much for posting links to help the families and for intervention training I hope that we can work for a better future, we just need those in power to recognize and admit the issue. I cannot get over the fact that they even tried to humanize the murderer, it was unacceptable. "Having a bad day" My ass. Everyone has bad days. The officer who said that was just as racist and should be fired as he likely has no trust from the community.
I really hope you are able to find some time to breathe and rest your heart. Do not feel like you owe the world your happiness when you are not feeling happy. Speaking your truth is so important, and those of us who watch and adore your videos understand and only want for your health, both physical and mental. Please take care of yourself and be safe!
As always your video was wonderful and your skills as a seamstress are extraordinary. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.
Thank you so much for that extremely thoughtful comment, I really appreciate everything you said ❤ I've definitely been able to take some time to process and get to a better head space, so I'm feeling better - or at least more angry and motivated for change than sad and paralyzed. So better in a way! I've been especially frustrated that no one in power seems to be taking much responsibility for what that cop said or doing anything to give the true narrative since there was another mass shooting and it's shifted back to the 'but you can't take my guns' argument. It feels like a hopeless fight for gun control every time a new attack happens.
But again, thank you for the kind comments you always leave, I'm so glad you liked the video!
@@moth.faerie
I am so glad to hear that you are in a better head space. Albeit anger, but in times like these, who can expect anything else? It's a great motivator, as you said! I definitely hope that we can push them in the right direction, if not all the way.
I totally noticed the shift too, which is frustrating as hell. The topic was quickly changed from racism to gun rights, which I suppose is maybe because they're so uncomfortable speaking of/admitting that racism is the problem? Hopefully everyone speaking out and calling it to light will help.
The chemise and drawers are beautiful, I love the colour choice and the embroidery details 💖
thank you! I was honestly a little worried about the colors before I started but I think it makes them so fun to wear 😊
Love the chemise and drawers! They look so pretty and great that you take historical inspiration for you modern projects :)
For me your videos are a real comfort in times of crisis. You and your cats are just charming and it's a pleasure to watch creating beautiful things while the world falls apart.
thank you! ah yeah right now is ROUGH there is so much going on in the world, I'm glad I can help bring some positivity! ❤
Side note long before the end of this video: that michiyuki is super freaking pretty and my university kimono club would have fought over it so much. TTATT!!! Self made? Bought??? I love the colors.
I bought it! i got it in a mystery pack from tangerine mountain kimono
Yay I have the chemise pattern so excited that to eventually make a version of these beautiful garments. :)
it's such a cute pattern for a chemise! Lmk when you make it, I'd love to see it! (you can dm me on instagram or let me know in a comment ❤)
How adorable! You're so talented. 💕
ah thank you so much!
@@moth.faerie you're so welcome!
I am really enjoying this series even if I am late to it! I was wondering where you got your chalk pen because it is so smooth. And your embroidery on this is gorgeous.
On a serious note, thank you for sharing your concerns with us. Those shootings were terrifying and the following dismissal was disgusting. I'm sorry.
Thank you for everything you said, I really appreciate it ❤️ the chalk pen is from wawak.com and it’s called the allary chalk cartridge set! It comes with lots of extra colors too 😊
as an API femme stumbling onto yr videos a year after this incident, i really feel those feelings and remember so clearly now what that was like back then. i hope we garner the strength to continue fighting back against these systems that insist that ours and other colonized and oppressed ppl's dignity, worth, and self-determination are devalued because of _us_. no. we reject white supremacy forever.
yes definitely it's so disheartening that there continue to be attacks targeting Asians and there doesn't seem to be much attention on it outside of the AAPI community anymore. tbh it's really hard for me a lot of days to be motivated to put myself out on the internet in the general public social media sphere, but it always makes me feel better when I see other asians just existing and being present and it helps motivate me that I could be that for other people 😊 if you have any specific sewing questions I'm more than happy to help, feel free to dm me on instagram!!
This reminds me of the bloomers from Castle in the Sky
Can’t wait to catch up on this series
YOU GOT THIS GIRL
You're so talented.
The video was great as always and I love how everything came out! I also appreciate your honesty and hope you know that taking care of your mental health is obviously more important than how relaxing your videos are. Its been a rough time lately and it’d be absolutely unrealistic and mean to expect you to be unaffected or to produce content with your usual energy. Take care of yourself!! Can’t wait to see how this project grows!
thank you so much for every part of your comment, I really appreciate it ❤ I'm glad you liked the video!
Beautiful work 🤟🇨🇦
I really enjoy watching you create! And hope to someday try and make something for myself.
aw thank you! you definitely should!!
Well you look like a fairy princess so the feeling is very valid
haha thank you!
Very pretty 😀
My baby Myles is a black cat and sounds just like your baby bat. Everytime I heard a tiny meow, I had to double check it wasn't my needy baby. Thank you for all the links to #stopasainhate, it's really helpful to know exactly where to go to stay educated and donate to the cause.
Ah of course and thank you for the kind support ❤ haha i sometimes get confused when I edit my own videos, I imagine it's much more confusing when you're not expecting it at all 😋 but the tiny meows are SO CUTE they are definitely the best kind of cat meow! baby bat didn't meow at all until a few months after we had adopted her, the first couple times she meowed i thought it was a mistake haha
All the lace and embroidery is excellentttttttt
Love your feline babies
thank you!
I enjoy your videos! You seem real, so being real is fine too. And - my cat flops when it's attention time.
Thanks for the links to Stop Asian Hate. I don't know what to say.
That's ok! I appreciate the acknowledgement ❤ floppy cats are the best! melts my heart every time haha
I think the tucking of the chemise into the drawers would have been a personal preference thing unless you were scandalous and wore short dresses but if you were being scandalous you wouldn't have cared anyways what was proper and improper
That seems to be the general consensus, thank you for your input! Haha maybe someday I’ll make a scandalous Victorian costume 😋
Goes on outside, otherwise, it will be soiled when you use bathroom. Love your videos!
By the time of your outro, I’d forgotten this was old and thought you were obviously speaking of the Buffalo NY grocery store shooting (also by a young white dude). I hate that we have so many weeks when “I am reeling because multiple people died, because of their race, religion, or maybe possibly because of work they probably took as they were limited to based on race and language fluency levels. The Spanish speakers have the local landscaping, that group that speaks several related African languages has the dry cleaning, here’s where I don’t have to translate every word I hear or speak and they know what the festivals and foods and so on are so yeah, looks better than McDonald’s”
Yeah it’s really disappointing and frustrating that it feels like we have the same type of tragedy over and over again and it’s something that could be SO preventable
The chemise and drawers look wonderful and all of the little details make them look so fancy!
I love the kitty breaks throughout your videos! My kitties love those ball toys as well.
“Bad day” is a frustrating and disgusting excuse. I am sorry, and I hope these sewing projects are helpful in some way.
thank you so much! feeling productive is definitely helping ❤ and i'm glad you like the cat breaks haha
👗
This video really got me wondering... does the chemise get tucked in or not? The best source I could find was Victorian corset advertising illustrations, which looks to be untucked. But who's to say the ads are accurate! Lovely video as always. The constant abuse of women and POC so sad and frustrating
I asked around and the resounding answer was.. it's down to personal preference lol. so helpful. But I've been having an easier time trying on corset mockups if the chemise is already tucked into the drawers so I think I'm going to go with that?
@@moth.faerie ah there you go! Good to know
A mullet skirt 😂😂😂
Or a high low
👶🦇
Also #STOPASIANHATE I hope you’re doing better.
thank you on both counts! Historical sewing is so interesting - I love seeing how the historical techniques are sometimes so similar but so different from modern techniques. And I'm feeling better! still angry but it's a motivating angry rather than debilitating so that's better 😋
Sorry you have to deal with such horrors.
