- This is a quick video of the skirts on my 17th Century mantua gown and how they are looped up in their distinctive pleats!
I did not use a pattern for this gown, but did heavily reference Period Costume for the Stage and Screen (1500-1800) by Jean Hunnisett (affiliate link: www.amazon.com...)
The trims for this mantua came from Shop of Embellishments: www.shopofembel...

Way simpler than I expected!
Thank you for sharing this! It's a beautiful gown!
Thank you and you are welcome!
Cool! It's not nearly as complicated as it looked! Also explained how you packed it so easily. And answered my question of why not simply sew belt and folds to waistband. PS - love the necklace!
Thank you! It really is so simple and looks so complicated!

This was lovely! A 17th Century mantua is on my list of "to make someday. Y'all inspired me.
YAY! Good! I wish more people would make this style. It is so interesting!
Awesome stuff :D love late 17th century mantua gowns they're awesome can't wait to do one with my gal so with that sorta gown did you ever wear it with the skirt not pulled up?
Sorry to ask, but what should I google to find the brush you have all around the skirt? It looks amazing.
It's called fringe
How many yards of fabric are required for a mantua? And did you use a pattern or diagram, or did you draft it yourself?
I think yardage depends on a lot on the height and size of the maker, as well as how full you want your skirt - there is a lot of variety in these. I used Hunnisett (link in the video description)
