I thought she was Canadian, but apparently she is American-born... she just spent a lot of time in England, enough time that she started to pick up the accent slightly.
@@kck9742 sometimes you can hear her losing the accent out of anger. IF you check the stolen chinese copy dress video where she rants, she loses the british accent multiple times.
I understand Japanese better than I understand this video, and that's saying something because I only know like 15 random words in Japanese despite going through a year of classes when I was younger.
Let’s all be honest: 40% of the reason we are all here is historical dress making, the other 60% is Bernadette. “Haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it.” 😂😂😂
Since I don't sew (lack of patience has wrecked every attempt I've made), the reason I'm here is 10% intellectual interest, 10% the satisfaction of watching talented people do their talented things, and 80% Bernadette. She has taken her passion and turned it into a talent, and turned that talent into a career and a way of life. I have a great deal of respect for that. :)
She is funny!!!! That is why I watch her. I love the PDF books I get from her links as well since I also have an antiquarian taste in books... and yes, she is also educational. But most of all, she is funny!! I love her wit and her dry sense of humour!!

Oh, I love this dress so much, it really does look so comfortable and fun to wear. The wait was definitely worth it. And hell to the yes am I getting those Shears of Destiny. Aesthetic trash is basically why I'm here (that teapot lamp, and the -Morgan Donner statue- mushrooms on that marvellous bookcase). Aesthetic trash, history trash and guinea pig trash. Cesario is the preciousssss.
“Once my pieces are all traced they are then cut out... with regular paper scissors of course, we are not heathens.” Me: *slowly puts down dagger scissors and picks up normal scissors* “yes, yes of course... I am not a heathen” *continues cutting pattern*
I learned this by the shocked look in my sewing instructors face when I took my first sewing course. I wanted to use the fabric scissors for paper and she looked as if I was going to blow my nose in the fabric or something like that 😅
Behold this dress which is meant for frolicking and time spent in fields of flowers with picnics and books. See how is moves like poetry. Who can resist its charm? Not I! Beautifully done, Bernadette! One of these lovelies have will have to add this to a list of my own future projects. That being said, I emphatically want a bumper sticker that proclaims boldly "Haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it!"
“Haters can fasten yon britches and, deal with it. “ I’m putting that line in my back pocket to deftly whip out at specific and opportune moments. Also, “supremely extra aesthetic trash”...kinda my jam. Also, SLIDEY BOOKCASE!!!
+1 for stickers that say "Fasten yon britches and deal with it". Maybe add an online store for such things to your website? Also, this dress is 100% the inspiration for the one I'm making for my birthday. I promise I'm not completely copying you! . . . but I am definitely a little bit copying you.
"Its autumn and its time to work on that summer dress" I have just started on a winter sports jacket in a wool blend. It may be finished in time for summer.
It would seem that I too, am aesthetic trash and do indeed require these with vengeance. I also most heartily concur, that "haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it."
I literally choked when she unsheathed those scissors! Then my eyes teared up when she said she posted the link. Then an actual tear dropped when I saw that they're only $17.99!
I hadn't even noticed the thumbs down, I was too busy being delighted. After reading your comment I scrolled up to check. I hope she is taking it in her stride because it's not worth it. When a video is seriously offensive, completely useless or dangerous in any way it warrants a thumb down, but Bernadette is charming, talented, and offends nobody, she doesn't give bad advice either. She even treats her pet so well she won't disturb a nap on her feet to get her proper scissors. So cute. So the haters should take Pollyanna's advice and if they have nothing nice to contribute just be quiet.
"Hmm.. Bernadette is precious, but why exactly did I subscribe to a historical sewing channel in the first-" --> 1:36 "Right, exactly. Onward with the video."
"...which took approximately 95 eternities." I really love the way you exaggerate so specifically; it reminds me of so many 19th century novels I read growing up
The irony of the chemise à la reine: Scandalous for everyone Revolutionary for the upper class Simplicity is a mockery for the lower class But then everyone started wearing it after the instigator was beheaded, her chemise influenced fashion for the next 30 years
My forty-ish years of living in either the Deep South, or the Midwest, never once allowed me to be curious about historical sewing. More's the pity. This shit is fascinating as hell.
this channel has become medicine for my anxiety. i love learning the historical elements, i LOVE the way she talks, and i really enjoy watching her make the clothing! i started having a giant anxiety attack ( I'm close to graduation in dental hygiene school and boards are coming up and I'm having trouble staying calm) and i shut myself in my room and watching 3 of her videos and felt more calm and put together than i have in a month
I personally think it is because of the way she speaks. As someone who lives in England, her accent sounds extremely American to me. The manner of her speech, however is quite proper, which honestly threw me off too at first, as I have gotten used to hearing a New York accent spoken in an informal/ aggressive tone. So yea, I don’t know if I just can’t recognise it, since a number of British accents do not register in my brain, but I do not hear any Britishness in her voice.
There is something so satisfying of pulling out a pair of sheers in a Most Dramatic Fashion! And huzzah for rambliness interspersed with croissant-y guinea pigs :D Who could ask for anything more? (Well, who would dare with such a dagger like pair of sheers...)
Genius? Don't know about that. It's the way I was taught back in the "dark ages" when little girls' clothes were made by Mama. We actually felt sorry for the girls whose mothers did not know how to sew. They were reduced to wearing store bought.
@@maryannerick7617 That's fair but I've only started teaching myself last year how to sew and it had never occurred to me! How wonderful that you got to have those memories with your mother though! :)
@@asifloserface Hi! Such a odd time to receive a notification about a comment posted many moons ago, however your response to the above poster was just so genuine and polite. I hope your sewing escapades have treated you well and that you’ve learnt an arsenal of new techniques. Stay brilliant!! ✨
@@tahjalafaele Thank you! I have definitely got a lot more experience under my belt! I'm so stoked about it! I hope that if you watch Bernadette's content for sewing tips yourself that you're having fun too! ^-^
This dress looks splendid, and royal worthy indeed. I am also glad that it's comfy, my favourite kind of garments are when you look smart and put together but in reality you were just drinking tea, reading a book and living your best comfortable life. This sash gives really nice contrast and is great representation of dark red (burgundy?) aesthetic trash ;D This dress really suits you, Bernadette, and I think it's etherealness (is this even a word?) gives really nice contrast to tailored pieces of Lady Sherlock.
How beautiful!! My grandmother was an amazing seamstress. She hand sewed most of my dresses and a gorgeous blue velvet coat for me when I was a child. When I watch your videos I realize how hard she worked for those garments and that sewing like this is a true labor of love. Thank you for sharing your sewing adventures with us. 💖
When she hid the shiny side of the ribbon for ”a casual look” I thought to myself *that seemed casual enough with the shiny side* Then I looked down at my lounge outfit and I'm wearing: A neon patchwork waistcoat, a sheer men’s dress shirt open at the top two buttons, two necklaces, four rings, and some loose teal jeans with sailor moon socks It occurred to me that my casual isn't actually casual
Wasn't Marie Antoinette's "Chemise a la Reine" actually considered as "underwear"? But, she wore it as outerwear and is wearing it in one of her many famous portraits! What she did was very risque and bold! You might say that Marie Antoinette was the "Madonna" of her time (Madonna, the popstar, made wearing underwear as outerwear popular in the 1980's). I enjoy watching your videos! You're so talented!
Yes. It was a great scandal that she didn't wear a corset and such light garment. Especcially because the fashion trend was big, bigger, biggest in hair and dresses. But at this point in time Marie Antoinette withdrew more and more from Versailles and had here own palace and small village built to live an as "normal" as possible life. This dress was part of her new lifestyle.
The chemise was an underdress. It also doubled as a nightgown. A corset was worn over it, then a skirt. A separate bodice to match the skirt, or a short jacket on top. Noble ladies wore petticoats, hoop skirts, etc, in addition. Lots of layers in winter, no central heating. So, at the time, it really was underwear. Today they look dressy, especially the ones with ruffles around the neckline and puffy sleeves. This type wouldn't be worn as underwear. Marie was the Princess Diana of her day. Ironically, Princess Diana's wedding dress resembled Marie's dress in the famous (infamous at the time) portrait
I've just watched a 22 minute video of an adorable young lady making a beautiful dress from scratch, a dress that would never EVER touch my filthy peasant figure, and it is oddly satisfying.
You might be inspired to actually take up some sewing if you watch Morgan Donner's rainbow version of this because she does it very simply. And then tie dyes the living crap out of it 💛 Also never refer to yourself as a peasant because the things you say to yourself begin creating your mental reality which attracts the same thing to you from the rest of the world. Not good self care my dear... Another less time-consuming option is just to find a nice linen or cotton sundress and Thrift flip it by adding some frillys to it
We used to call these peasant dresses back in the 70's. I made and wore them a lot. Nowadays, Marie Antoinette gets credit for the style, but she was actually trying to emulate peasant style at her mini farm on the grounds of Versailles. Was the controversy due to the fact that a chemise was an underdress, and even peasants would wear another skirt and a corset over it, or it was frequently worn as a nightgown, or, that a queen would never dress like a peasant, let alone appear in a portrait as one? Probably both.
Is it just me, or does the end montage give off some serious Beauty and the Beast vibes? Like, the ponytail, the library...historical Belle cosplay anyone?
That feel when you find a new anxiety-calming-thing and watch it all within two weeks so you're desperate for new content ... that you watch immediately when it comes out. Oh boy. Thank you so much for your videos, Bernadette, they're so relaxing!!
I’m laughing at the end because Lord Cesario is just like my dog, Lady Lilly, who will only lapsit when she feels like lapsitting and snorts in indignation when she is forced to be in my lap for some short term cuddles! I adore this dress!! When I buck up the courage to start making things, it will definitely be on my list! Fantastic job, Bernadette! And fantastic new shears!!
Me: Clicks cause pretty dress *guinea pig appears* Also me: *GaSP* “HECK YES! Bonus!” Bernadette(to cute floof): “Oh my god, why are you such a croissant??” Still me: “OMG, I don’t even sew remotely well but you have me hook, line, and sinker!!” Needless to say, *subscribed* 😄 (My pigs are also questioned daily as to why they are croissants/crescent rolls)
Watching bernadette doing historically-inspired clothing feels quite the same as watching a sewing version of julian baumgartner restoring an old painting
Lovely dress and great video! It's great to see your sewing room and those dagger shears are awesome! Plus Lord Cesario graces us with his presence! And your rambling about your website would have been great to hear! See you in October!
Its sooo pretty!!! Now I need a dressform to make this dress🙏🏼 i remember the first time I stumbled accross your channel and thinking: Wow she’s so talentes, but I’ll never have the patience. Fast forward a few months and I’ve now made my own adaptation of the ulster coat (with a detachable cape) and am now in the process of making a shorter victorian walking skirt( based on the slim version in the Keystones guide. Do I also have plans for a waistcoat? Yes. am i descending further and further into historical fashion obsession? Yes. Am I loving every minute of it? Also yes❤️
"And the sleeves are attached uneventfully, which is always a wondrous occasion." Thank you for reminding me that sleeves are not, in fact, simple amateur stuff I should have gotten in the first attempt - on my second sleeve attachment ever; and that having it not fit 4 times, followed by discovering it was inside out compared to the rest of the shirt - but it fit perfectly this time!, is a perfectly good reason to set down your project and refuse to touch it, except to shove it out of the way, for 2 days while reverting to some "simple" quilt piecing. If Bernadette considers installing a sleeve correctly on the first attempt a "wondrous occasion" at this point in her sewing journey, who am I, with all of my non-practice with garments to think I should be permitted to do so without strife?
I'm applying for a job in the Fashion department at the V&A in London! I'm so excited, and I figured this community would understand :D They have the most gorgeous 18th century (and onwards) clothing
The very first time I found her videos I tried to sew a simple modern summer dress and it. did. not. worked. But now seeing the glorious Peacock dress video I am motivated anew. If you want to try you should totally do it!
So beautiful! The camisole is such a great idea! But another idea is to maybe having an overlapping panel which buttons or snaps together beneath the outer bodice layer. I'm actually thinking of making something similar, but perhaps a modern take on an early regency round-gown. Thanks for the video and #historybounding inspo!
I really want to thank you for doing this. I used to sew with my grandmother, and when she died, was prepared to give it up entirely. Because of your channel, I am excited to get into it again!
Bernadette : ''Yes, there will be a VLOG! Yes there will be a tour!" Me : *stop typing a comment asking about these exact videos and start glowing with joy*
i squealed when you went up the bookshelf ladder in your new beautiful ethereal dress, absolute life goals ! Also these Sheers of Destiny(tm) definitely require being worn at the waist in a full sewing-warrior outfit, by a brave (and very aesthetic) young lady fighting crime in foggy streets, out to defeat her nemesis : the all-powerful Sleeve Lord...
Love this project. This style of dress is definitely one of my personal favorites. Thank you for filming it. Whilst watching this video my four year old daughter snuggled up and noticed your lovely new scissors. She was quite impressed by how sword-like they are. However she was also quite disappointed by the lack of jewels. So while the scissors are, in general, quite extra, they are not extra enough 🤷♀️
The world is in serious need of more people like you. Seriously. People who are fascinated by crafting and work meticulously. I was amazed by what you created, the process, everything.
Well, now I know how to make a Chamise à la Reine. *Immediately looks in bank account to double check that I have enough money to buy fabric. Also Ceserio (have I spelt his name wrong?) is adorable, am I right?
Hello Ms Bernadette! I wanna say thank you for inspiring me to start sewing again even though i do not have a sewing machine.. I have used your hand sewing techniques and now i can confidently took on some small project that I've dreaming about! I may be getting a sewing machine soon but till then.. Hand sewing it is!
I have no idea why these videos have popped up in my feed because I don't know the first thing about dress making or vintage clothes or anything else that Bernadette talks about, but I have watched a few out of curiosity and Enjoyed them. Very strange. An Englishman into cycling and PC gaming here. Great channel Bernadette.

Beautifully done, Bernadette! One of these lovelies have will have to add this to a list of my own future projects. That being said, I emphatically want a bumper sticker that proclaims boldly "Haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it!"
“Haters can fasten yon britches and, deal with it. “ I’m putting that line in my back pocket to deftly whip out at specific and opportune moments. Also, “supremely extra aesthetic trash”...kinda my jam.
Also, SLIDEY BOOKCASE!!!
If there is sticker, teacup, or wearable merch, that should be on the merch.
Lovely dress for a charming seamstress. I think Cesario approves. Love your videos!
@@victoriaj.9055 agreed 100%
+1 for stickers that say "Fasten yon britches and deal with it". Maybe add an online store for such things to your website?
Also, this dress is 100% the inspiration for the one I'm making for my birthday. I promise I'm not completely copying you! . . . but I am definitely a little bit copying you.
“Now that it’s fall it’s time to get around to summer sewing”
I feel called out
At least you're not five years behind in your sewing projects.
I came to this channel for historical fashion. I stayed when I got slapped in the face with Bernadette's incredible sense of humor.
"Its autumn and its time to work on that summer dress" I have just started on a winter sports jacket in a wool blend. It may be finished in time for summer.
...yes.. just how this works. :D
And... Did you finish it?
@@NeedANewName yes..... Then we had a wet summer. So I still get to wear it
It’s May and I just started to knit a thick woolen sweater so I feel you :D
*recites memes in a sophisticated tongue*
Why yes, large cerebrum moments
100 likes was me
Here’s another for you:
Now I will perform, what I enjoy recalling as a professional game maneuver.
"if you are likewise aesthetic trash and require these with a similar vengeance" LOLOLOLOL!! I laughed all the way to the tea kettle.
It would seem that I too, am aesthetic trash and do indeed require these with vengeance. I also most heartily concur, that "haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it."
And yes, the guinea pig content is exceptionally important.
valkyrie cain exceptionally!!
I love the dress, I want one now. *grabby hands at the universe*
I literally choked when she unsheathed those scissors! Then my eyes teared up when she said she posted the link. Then an actual tear dropped when I saw that they're only $17.99!
I wish those ones were still available. They have others, but, my covetous heart was set on the same exact ones.
Who on this earth would 'dislike' this video? Ah yes, those haters, who cannot fasten their britches...
It’s the costume designers for all those “historically accurate” period dramas
I hadn't even noticed the thumbs down, I was too busy being delighted. After reading your comment I scrolled up to check. I hope she is taking it in her stride because it's not worth it. When a video is seriously offensive, completely useless or dangerous in any way it warrants a thumb down, but Bernadette is charming, talented, and offends nobody, she doesn't give bad advice either. She even treats her pet so well she won't disturb a nap on her feet to get her proper scissors. So cute. So the haters should take Pollyanna's advice and if they have nothing nice to contribute just be quiet.
Perhaps Bernadette should create a video on how to fasten one's britches
🤣
lmao
"Hmm.. Bernadette is precious, but why exactly did I subscribe to a historical sewing channel in the first-"
--> 1:36
"Right, exactly. Onward with the video."
Stylphede 😂
"haters may fasten yon britches..." hahaha
That line made my day lol
Laughed hard at that part.
I had to listen several times. So satisfying
Absolutely adore how she just goes into this Pensive and Restless Young Victorian Woman mode when showing how her clothes look after completing them.
"...which took approximately 95 eternities."
I really love the way you exaggerate so specifically; it reminds me of so many 19th century novels I read growing up
my thoughts exactly
The irony of the chemise à la reine:
Scandalous for everyone
Revolutionary for the upper class
Simplicity is a mockery for the lower class
But then everyone started wearing it after the instigator was beheaded, her chemise influenced fashion for the next 30 years
Renault Ellis wow! Really?😩🙁
There's a portrait of Empress Josephine wearing a similar dress.
My forty-ish years of living in either the Deep South, or the Midwest, never once allowed me to be curious about historical sewing.
More's the pity.
This shit is fascinating as hell.
zachary939 . I’m starting by retailoring all those shirts I can’t throw out.
Caught your Glamour vid! Congrats! Loved how all the comments were, "Yay, Bernadette! You should have let her do the illustrations!" 😂
@@bernadettebanner everybody loves you myself included
Was thrilled to see you starring as the expert, Bernadette!!
My favorite Glamour video so far! 😍
They need to hire you more often. 💗
@BernadetteBanner,i watched it to. I loved all the comments. They were supportive and it seemed that your video was enjoyed by all.
Yes I was absolutely aesthetic too!
this channel has become medicine for my anxiety. i love learning the historical elements, i LOVE the way she talks, and i really enjoy watching her make the clothing!
i started having a giant anxiety attack ( I'm close to graduation in dental hygiene school and boards are coming up and I'm having trouble staying calm) and i shut myself in my room and watching 3 of her videos and felt more calm and put together than i have in a month
I completely agree ❤
I’m so happy you found a way to help with your anxiety 💞
@@kayhaych05 well sometimes nothing helps but finding soothing things to watch certainly has made a difference
Gina Plopper-Norton May I recommend ‘Saturn- sleeping at last’? It’s a beautiful song and it helps me sometimes :)
@@kayhaych05 thank you, I'll look it up!
"and now we just wait until summer"
Ah we were so naïve
Still waiting... still waiting... still waiting... 😴
Yes... 😭
Those scissors are so overkill and i need them in my life!
pay1370 wow Industrial strength.😱wouldn’t mind having these too
@@purseypurse4214 better hurry; only 5 pair left!
“cut out with normal paper shears because we are not heathens” truer words could never be said.
NightBurst Studios I, also loved her comment “we are not heathens” watching intently caught me off guard and I busted out laughing.
I can’t decide if she actually has a British accent or if it just sounds like she *should* so much that my brain is making it happen.
Blythe Vrindavana
She has some kind of “mid-Atlantic” accent with both New-Yorkian and British features.
I personally think it is because of the way she speaks. As someone who lives in England, her accent sounds extremely American to me. The manner of her speech, however is quite proper, which honestly threw me off too at first, as I have gotten used to hearing a New York accent spoken in an informal/ aggressive tone.
So yea, I don’t know if I just can’t recognise it, since a number of British accents do not register in my brain, but I do not hear any Britishness in her voice.
She speaks like Katherine Hepburn. I love listening to her.
It's what happens when you learn most of your vocabulary and speech patters from reading British lit growing up. I have a similar problem.
If you slow it down from ‘normal’ speed to 75%, Bernadette’s accent is definitely American.
Me just starting this video: Dear god I hope she linked those scissors.
ANNNNDDDD now they will be here Monday.
Thank you!!!!
There is something so satisfying of pulling out a pair of sheers in a Most Dramatic Fashion! And huzzah for rambliness interspersed with croissant-y guinea pigs :D Who could ask for anything more? (Well, who would dare with such a dagger like pair of sheers...)
When you pulled that thread to use as a guide for cutting straight, my mind was BLOWN. That's so genius!
Genius? Don't know about that. It's the way I was taught back in the "dark ages" when little girls' clothes were made by Mama. We actually felt sorry for the girls whose mothers did not know how to sew. They were reduced to wearing store bought.
@@maryannerick7617 That's fair but I've only started teaching myself last year how to sew and it had never occurred to me! How wonderful that you got to have those memories with your mother though! :)
@@asifloserface Hi! Such a odd time to receive a notification about a comment posted many moons ago, however your response to the above poster was just so genuine and polite. I hope your sewing escapades have treated you well and that you’ve learnt an arsenal of new techniques. Stay brilliant!! ✨
@@tahjalafaele Thank you! I have definitely got a lot more experience under my belt! I'm so stoked about it! I hope that if you watch Bernadette's content for sewing tips yourself that you're having fun too! ^-^
This dress looks splendid, and royal worthy indeed. I am also glad that it's comfy, my favourite kind of garments are when you look smart and put together but in reality you were just drinking tea, reading a book and living your best comfortable life. This sash gives really nice contrast and is great representation of dark red (burgundy?) aesthetic trash ;D This dress really suits you, Bernadette, and I think it's etherealness (is this even a word?) gives really nice contrast to tailored pieces of Lady Sherlock.
How beautiful!! My grandmother was an amazing seamstress. She hand sewed most of my dresses and a gorgeous blue velvet coat for me when I was a child. When I watch your videos I realize how hard she worked for those garments and that sewing like this is a true labor of love. Thank you for sharing your sewing adventures with us. 💖
When she hid the shiny side of the ribbon for ”a casual look” I thought to myself *that seemed casual enough with the shiny side*
Then I looked down at my lounge outfit and I'm wearing:
A neon patchwork waistcoat, a sheer men’s dress shirt open at the top two buttons, two necklaces, four rings, and some loose teal jeans with sailor moon socks
It occurred to me that my casual isn't actually casual
Maggie L your casual sounds awesome!
Thats mi kind of Casual🤪👏
Maggie L I believe I need a picture or an Instagram account to view this fashion confection.
Your casual sounds like a Lisa Frank version Sarah from Labyrinth. And that it absolutely a compliment.
Beth Krager thank you so much that’s one of the coolest references someone has made when talking about my style ever
Imagine having Bernadette as your mom. Halloween would be bomb
At first, I was like “cool scissors!” Then.. when I say it came with an actual sheath, I literally out loud said, “I need those.”
Same!
Watching someone is passionate about something it’s always so entertaining.
Wasn't Marie Antoinette's "Chemise a la Reine" actually considered as "underwear"? But, she wore it as outerwear and is wearing it in one of her many famous portraits! What she did was very risque and bold!
You might say that Marie Antoinette was the "Madonna" of her time (Madonna, the popstar, made wearing underwear as outerwear popular in the 1980's).
I enjoy watching your videos! You're so talented!
Yes. It was a great scandal that she didn't wear a corset and such light garment. Especcially because the fashion trend was big, bigger, biggest in hair and dresses.
But at this point in time Marie Antoinette withdrew more and more from Versailles and had here own palace and small village built to live an as "normal" as possible life. This dress was part of her new lifestyle.
The scandal was that she wore a very informal gown for a royal portrait, and such a portrait was typically expected to be very formal.
The chemise was an underdress. It also doubled as a nightgown. A corset was worn over it, then a skirt. A separate bodice to match the skirt, or a short jacket on top. Noble ladies wore petticoats, hoop skirts, etc, in addition. Lots of layers in winter, no central heating. So, at the time, it really was underwear. Today they look dressy, especially the ones with ruffles around the neckline and puffy sleeves. This type wouldn't be worn as underwear. Marie was the Princess Diana of her day. Ironically, Princess Diana's wedding dress resembled Marie's dress in the famous (infamous at the time) portrait
“We are not heathens.” I swear she is seriously my mood in life!
Heathen became my favorite insult just before I found this channel... IT WAS FATE
Add "rising above, I am rising above", and we pretty much are set.
I've just watched a 22 minute video of an adorable young lady making a beautiful dress from scratch, a dress that would never EVER touch my filthy peasant figure, and it is oddly satisfying.
You might be inspired to actually take up some sewing if you watch Morgan Donner's rainbow version of this because she does it very simply. And then tie dyes the living crap out of it 💛
Also never refer to yourself as a peasant because the things you say to yourself begin creating your mental reality which attracts the same thing to you from the rest of the world. Not good self care my dear...
Another less time-consuming option is just to find a nice linen or cotton sundress and Thrift flip it by adding some frillys to it
We used to call these peasant dresses back in the 70's. I made and wore them a lot. Nowadays, Marie Antoinette gets credit for the style, but she was actually trying to emulate peasant style at her mini farm on the grounds of Versailles. Was the controversy due to the fact that a chemise was an underdress, and even peasants would wear another skirt and a corset over it, or it was frequently worn as a nightgown, or, that a queen would never dress like a peasant, let alone appear in a portrait as one? Probably both.
Is it just me, or does the end montage give off some serious Beauty and the Beast vibes? Like, the ponytail, the library...historical Belle cosplay anyone?
Would Cesario be the beast?
@@robertlozyniak3661 of course!
More accurate than the movie!
YES
Also Bioshock Infinite's Elizabeth in her tower.
"Haters can fasten yon britches and deal with it!" New favourite expression!
No exaggeration but this is exactly how I invision my wedding dress to be one day. And now I know how to sew it myself! Thank you so much!
That feel when you find a new anxiety-calming-thing and watch it all within two weeks so you're desperate for new content ... that you watch immediately when it comes out. Oh boy. Thank you so much for your videos, Bernadette, they're so relaxing!!
True!!!! My feels exactly!!! 😅
Tolstoj's Niece have you ever watched the Victorian Way videos from English Heritage? They are little nuggets of tranquility.
@@kirstenpaff8946 I haven't but will put them on the list ASAP! Thank you!
I’m laughing at the end because Lord Cesario is just like my dog, Lady Lilly, who will only lapsit when she feels like lapsitting and snorts in indignation when she is forced to be in my lap for some short term cuddles!
I adore this dress!! When I buck up the courage to start making things, it will definitely be on my list! Fantastic job, Bernadette! And fantastic new shears!!
Same.
Average woman "I dont have a thing to wear"
Bernadette Banner "Hold my thimble"
Me: Clicks cause pretty dress
*guinea pig appears*
Also me: *GaSP* “HECK YES! Bonus!”
Bernadette(to cute floof): “Oh my god, why are you such a croissant??”
Still me: “OMG, I don’t even sew remotely well but you have me hook, line, and sinker!!”
Needless to say, *subscribed* 😄
(My pigs are also questioned daily as to why they are croissants/crescent rolls)
Because every video wins when there is a guinea pig!
I called my cat a burnt croissant (he’s a black cat and was curled up in that shape) and he gave me the most indignant look
Ольга Малецкая YES! 🙌
Heather Ker lol!! That is adorable, and omg I swear they understand our crazy nicknames for them, and hate them all 😂
Leviathan So cute!! They are so loaves of bread 😗
"Until then, until. **processes what she just said** ... what???"
god thats such an Unintentionally Flowery Speech Patterns mood
Watching bernadette doing historically-inspired clothing feels quite the same as watching a sewing version of julian baumgartner restoring an old painting
Lovely dress and great video! It's great to see your sewing room and those dagger shears are awesome! Plus Lord Cesario graces us with his presence! And your rambling about your website would have been great to hear! See you in October!
I love how shes like "So I'm taking all of the pinned peices to the ElEcTrIc SeWiNg MaChInE"......
We cannot help but stan a Celsius queen. (Also, amazing dress ofc)
Its sooo pretty!!! Now I need a dressform to make this dress🙏🏼 i remember the first time I stumbled accross your channel and thinking: Wow she’s so talentes, but I’ll never have the patience. Fast forward a few months and I’ve now made my own adaptation of the ulster coat (with a detachable cape) and am now in the process of making a shorter victorian walking skirt( based on the slim version in the Keystones guide. Do I also have plans for a waistcoat? Yes. am i descending further and further into historical fashion obsession? Yes. Am I loving every minute of it? Also yes❤️
"And the sleeves are attached uneventfully, which is always a wondrous occasion."
Thank you for reminding me that sleeves are not, in fact, simple amateur stuff I should have gotten in the first attempt - on my second sleeve attachment ever; and that having it not fit 4 times, followed by discovering it was inside out compared to the rest of the shirt - but it fit perfectly this time!, is a perfectly good reason to set down your project and refuse to touch it, except to shove it out of the way, for 2 days while reverting to some "simple" quilt piecing.
If Bernadette considers installing a sleeve correctly on the first attempt a "wondrous occasion" at this point in her sewing journey, who am I, with all of my non-practice with garments to think I should be permitted to do so without strife?
I'm applying for a job in the Fashion department at the V&A in London! I'm so excited, and I figured this community would understand :D They have the most gorgeous 18th century (and onwards) clothing
Ooooo, bon chance!
This makes me want sew, so badly.
The very first time I found her videos I tried to sew a simple modern summer dress and it. did. not. worked. But now seeing the glorious Peacock dress video I am motivated anew. If you want to try you should totally do it!
Do it! it's so fun!
You mean this makes you want to sew, sew badly!
(I'll see myself out :) )
*sew badly, if you please
Alright, I’ll show myself out
“Why are you such a croissant “ hahaha thank you for this wonderfully worded piece I will be using regularly!
I am SO envious that you have a bookshelf with a ladder! That's goals right there. Awesome job with the Chemise á la Reine! I love it!
That's a beautiful dress, my most humble complements. And it's great to see the sewing room start to take shape.
I'm so short-waisted that I'm basically just on awe of you being able to wear a 2" sash and have it not be your entire waist height. 😄
So beautiful! The camisole is such a great idea! But another idea is to maybe having an overlapping panel which buttons or snaps together beneath the outer bodice layer. I'm actually thinking of making something similar, but perhaps a modern take on an early regency round-gown. Thanks for the video and #historybounding inspo!
@@bernadettebanner That hashtag made me laugh I'm the middle of class. Oops!
Me: sees the sewing machine come into view, and tries not to gasp and fall off my seat in shock😂
I really want to thank you for doing this. I used to sew with my grandmother, and when she died, was prepared to give it up entirely. Because of your channel, I am excited to get into it again!
Bernadette : ''Yes, there will be a VLOG! Yes there will be a tour!"
Me : *stop typing a comment asking about these exact videos and start glowing with joy*
i squealed when you went up the bookshelf ladder in your new beautiful ethereal dress, absolute life goals !
Also these Sheers of Destiny(tm) definitely require being worn at the waist in a full sewing-warrior outfit, by a brave (and very aesthetic) young lady fighting crime in foggy streets, out to defeat her nemesis : the all-powerful Sleeve Lord...
‘This actually reminds me of the dress Maria wore in West Side Story. Beautiful!
J'adoooooooore !! cette robe "chemise" est trop canon !! et votre novelle paire de ciseaux est top !!
That is the most chill guinea pig I've ever seen
This is my favorite BB dress ever. Simply gorgeous.
"Now that it is autumn, it's time to make a summer dress." This is the type of thinking that gets things done no matter what!
Love this project. This style of dress is definitely one of my personal favorites. Thank you for filming it.
Whilst watching this video my four year old daughter snuggled up and noticed your lovely new scissors. She was quite impressed by how sword-like they are. However she was also quite disappointed by the lack of jewels. So while the scissors are, in general, quite extra, they are not extra enough 🤷♀️
The world is in serious need of more people like you. Seriously. People who are fascinated by crafting and work meticulously. I was amazed by what you created, the process, everything.
Well, now I know how to make a Chamise à la Reine. *Immediately looks in bank account to double check that I have enough money to buy fabric.
Also Ceserio (have I spelt his name wrong?) is adorable, am I right?
I made mine out of an old bedsheet!
@@pheart2381 ooh...seeing many trips to thrift stores
Hello Ms Bernadette! I wanna say thank you for inspiring me to start sewing again even though i do not have a sewing machine.. I have used your hand sewing techniques and now i can confidently took on some small project that I've dreaming about! I may be getting a sewing machine soon but till then.. Hand sewing it is!
This might be my favorite dress you’ve ever made.
Your meticulous nature blooms in what you create. WOW!
"no, I will not get over myself"
#hatersgonnafastenyonbritches
I have no idea why these videos have popped up in my feed because I don't know the first thing about dress making or vintage clothes or anything else that Bernadette talks about, but I have watched a few out of curiosity and Enjoyed them. Very strange.
An Englishman into cycling and PC gaming here.
Great channel Bernadette.
Bernadette, you are the reason why I started up sewing. And this dress will be the first thing I'll be making. Just a different color.
OMG!! The traditional quilter in me just screamed out 'NO!!" when you ripped you red satin!!!
I don't need those shears (I whispered while adding to cart)
btw! 5:07 the left half of the screen, with bernadette's silhouette, holding the fabric so organic, omg can someone please make this a painting? impressionist/luminism style?? "we" [humanity] needs to be appreciating this snap in the moment so beautiful yet so simple. omg i can't even put to words That's why we Need this as a painting!
I absolutely love this dress!! You're beautiful in it! ❤️ Also, I love getting to see Cesario! Those little Guinea pig squeaks are so adorable!!
we cut paper with craft scissors because we are not heathens... *flashback to the freshmen in my class*
