I'm going to join in on the early consensus and agree to use the meter of leftover fabric for some sort of bonnet/turban. That is some stunning fabric; congratulations on the price (that is so ah-maze-ing). The robe is beautiful. The button details, the soutache, the fit - exceptional work. Well done. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I would either make some kind of head wrap or put the silk away incase you want to rework/alter the gown later. Because I note you adjust things later 😉
yes a bonnet with the scraps of this if there's enough! you have some fabulous new reticules and while a muff might be cute I feel like you'd get less use out of one than you would of an adorably ridiculous bonnet!
This turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Those pleats are glorious, and I love how you styled the dress with the scarf! What to do with the scraps... why not something different, like a matching bonnet (even though the turban looks amazing)?
Trim the scrap with fabulous gimp and stitch a turban. Looks fab, esp for transition from revolution to early regency era, and saves having to re-tie a turban each time ( and don't they also look great when you're faffing about at home, but just don't cooperate on your costumed event day??). Ot make ballet slippers for dancing. But keep! Too good to waste. Wonderful sewing and wonderful vid-as always.
You did an amazing job planning, fitting and constructing this museum reproduction! The 1790s are my favorite historic fashion style. I just finished a 1795 dress using the LM Chemise gown pattern. Very easy to alter and construct. I added this video to my favorite Regency library for easy future reference. Thanks!
This turned out lovely! The buttons and cord are *chef's kiss* What about making a Victorian style vest out of the leftover silk? Could be fun to play with the stripes on the bias!
Ooh, you keep making the extants I love! Very nice to see what that particular sleeve shape comes out as in pattern form, though only briefly. I make fabric-covered buttons without the kit, with the "cut a circle and gather it around a button" method. Based on this, I think I'm glad I never bothered buying a kit. :D
That's gorgeous. The colours suit you. Thinking for what's left of the silk a bonnet and reticule. Or even a patchwork something with other left overs from other projects.
I love the back details so much! Could you maybe use the scraps to cover a parasol? A hat would be another accessory, although I know you have made several already.
Wow - it came out really well! I think you need a hat that goes more with the dress - maybe use some of the leftovers as trim for one? Anyway, congrats!
Gorgeous ensemble! I love those early 1800s styles. Georgette Heyer is one if my very favorite authors,, an she sets her novels in the late Georgian and Regency periods. I can just see your ensemble in one of her books!
Are you able to tell me where to get the sleeve pattern you used? I think your work is excellent, and I know how hard it can be to cut your own patterns, so I’m really impressed! Great job!
I’ve thought about making him a costume, but then I think “no, I want to wear it!” since I put so much effort into these projects. 😂 Maybe someday I’ll make a regency menswear look?
I’m not into costumes etc though I thoroughly enjoyed watching your thought/work process. Your work is meticulous I love the back detail. What do you do with these costumes, do you actually wear them out?

I think a silk covered hat to match the robe would be a fantastic use of the scraps

I vote turban.
Thanks, yes, bonnet seems to be a common theme
The scraps would make a great turban!

Yes, inevitability I’ll probably need to redo it 😂
I completely understand why you fell in love with the back of this dress. Yours turned out so beautifully in that lovely yellow silk.
The dress is beautiful and the pleats in the back with the buttons and cords are perfection! Chef's kiss!
yes a bonnet with the scraps of this if there's enough! you have some fabulous new reticules and while a muff might be cute I feel like you'd get less use out of one than you would of an adorably ridiculous bonnet!
Yeah I was thinking a muff just because I don’t have much winter costume pieces at all. I could always use more bonnets!
This turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Those pleats are glorious, and I love how you styled the dress with the scarf! What to do with the scraps... why not something different, like a matching bonnet (even though the turban looks amazing)?
Thanks! I might need to research some late 1790s hat styles now

I use a large-ish thread spool to push on the covered button "anvil". It's easier to bear down on a bigger thing than on a little one.
That’s brilliant thanks for the tip

1790s fashion is so interesting! Love the dress and the way you accessorized it!
Beautiful! Use leftovers for a silk covered bonnet

Happy sawing too you too! I am so glad that I have found your channel. 🎉
So pretty and summer-y.💛
Fabulous dress! I would say some gloves or half gloves and a bonnet with the scraps.
I love the back details so much! Could you maybe use the scraps to cover a parasol? A hat would be another accessory, although I know you have made several already.
Would the remnants be enough for a bonnet? Xx
I would, depending on the size of it
Hi, a bonnet and retacual (bag)would be cute, the dress looks beautiful 😍.
It came out beautifully!!! Excellent work!!!
I love these kind of dress diary videos.
A beautiful, and inspiring, project!
you're way too young to play lady russell in persuasion, but this ensemble is exactly what i've always pictured her wearing.
I so appreciate your videos, especially all the resources you share. So helpful and inspiring!
I love it your So creative God bless people like you
Such a beautiful gown! It was a joy to watch, thanks for the video :)
Wow - it came out really well! I think you need a hat that goes more with the dress - maybe use some of the leftovers as trim for one? Anyway, congrats!
Thanks I’ll consider it!
Great project. You look like the real deal. Not that I was alive in the 1790s...
It's so gorgeous!! The pleating in the back and the buttons are just perfection.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is so gorgeous!!!
beautiful! you did an amazing job. I have plans (and some silk stashed) to make a mid-90s open robe!
Gorgeous ensemble! I love those early 1800s styles. Georgette Heyer is one if my very favorite authors,, an she sets her novels in the late Georgian and Regency periods. I can just see your ensemble in one of her books!
Thank you! I’ll have to check out that writer
So stunning! You really did an amazing job!
The dress is lovely and the pleats are amazing!
Erika
Loved the pleating detail on the back.
Thank you!
Great job Dixie
Looks fab!
It loo!ks beautiful! I'm not real fond of making covered buttons either!
Thanks, I like the look of them but they’ve been a hassle for me to make
Gorgeous!
The pleating and buttons on the back are such pretty details! And love the rustle of the silk! Just gorgeous!
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for sharing.
Are you able to tell me where to get the sleeve pattern you used? I think your work is excellent, and I know how hard it can be to cut your own patterns, so I’m really impressed! Great job!
Could you maybe use the silk to make a matching fan??
I love how it looks on you! So classy
Thanks ❤️
Late in joining this discussion... I would make a vest out of it and do some simple machine embroidery.
Reticule and/or silk hat
i think you should make your partner a matching vest to go with your dress
I’ve thought about making him a costume, but then I think “no, I want to wear it!” since I put so much effort into these projects. 😂 Maybe someday I’ll make a regency menswear look?
I’m not into costumes etc though I thoroughly enjoyed watching your thought/work process. Your work is meticulous I love the back detail. What do you do with these costumes, do you actually wear them out?
I would make a hat with the leftovers.
Ikat is pronounced “EE-cot”
I would save all the scraps and make a quilt.
That’d be a fancy quilt!
You need to get the Prym button maker - I have never seen that kit but it looks awful to use. I make billions of buttons with no bother…
I just looked up that tool. Looks cool thanks!
