Fun fact: In the 18th century and earlier purple was actually a color for higher class people and even royalty! This was because purple was quite a rare color, which meant it was more expensive. They also wore that shade of purple and not just dark. So i love that you chose one of the higher class colors at the time to show the wealth people had at these balls.
Edit: OMG TYSM FOR 1.4K LIKES Y’ALL ARE SO KIND😭😭
Poorer people could achieve purple from dying something first blue then red or vice versa, but it wasn't as good a colour at the and and didn't last as long as the purple dye the rich were using, so the purple dye was there to stay.
Thank you for this funny fact I learned something cool today…
It true because you can only get the color for a tiny snail and it's hard to find and that's why there's no purple flag 😌
And she absolutely ROCKS the color purple!
And blue :)
I stan Shay and How iconic she, with her amazing Procrastination, Very Mood also dress looks iconic
Yes
NOO MOM I TOLD U THE DOG ATE MY FOOOOD😡

"You're supposed to have fun not suffer! it's okay to make short cuts!" I'm so happy to hear those words, I always feel bad when I buy something for a cosplay, always thinking 'I bet someone made this by hand'
You cos
Right? I try to make my own petticoats and every time I have a mini heart attack when I get overwhelmed in ruffles of organza. XD
The wig was truly the cherry on top of this beauty
it is!!!!! and i forgot to put a clip of it in the video, but the front if the wig is a little trapdoor that opens and you can store things 😂
@@crescentshay that is so fun! wearing a gorgeous dress with a wig completed with storage capacity is just ✨slay✨
Woah! This looks like so much fun! Everybody’s fantasy ball dreams have come to life in this video 😌
it really was!!! I've been to a costume ball before but this one was on a whole nother LEVEL
Yup! It’s spectacular how they are able to pull off such an impressive event!
@@crescentshay I cant still belive that there are like these balls everywhere
"just vibing with shapes" hahaha!
OMG GUNNAR ILY!!!!
I would love to go to a ball like that - I’d love to dress up so fancy!
Agreed 😍😍
I absolutely love this Vintage 18th Century Balls idea!! And simply by looking at these dresses, you can TELL ITS BOUND TO BE HARD! So Super proud of u Shay!
This looks like so much fun! I have seen a few other RUclipsrs post about this ball. It’s so interesting to see each of the different takes on the gowns that were created.
I actually met sewstine at the ball!!! and her dresses are absolutely STUNNING in person omg
It would be really cool to have a ball with both 18th century costume and classic/sweet lolita so we can compare and contrast the lolita interpretation with the real deal, what was kept, what has changed. This would be especially good if you compared two dresses inspired by the same source material as a couple of Angelic Pretty dresses are pseudo-reproductions of specific dresses like the Madame Pompadour dress.
Bernadette banner is an amazing historical seamstress and does A LOT of historical recreations and inspired pieces
As a french, I love the way you are pronouncing french words !
Looks so romantic in your mouth !
Btw, love the dress ! So french
I was there! I’m actually partially in your video at the 14:24 minute mark. I was in the light blue suit with the midnight blue taffeta cape and the black bicorn hat. You looked lovely! Remember seeing you in person and your gown was beautiful!
That's awesome!
"And they do not the hot glue in the 18th century" not for Micarah Tewers😂
Lord, that is gorgeous. I imagine if you had taken the entire 2 months to make it it would have been insanely over the top Slap Marie Antoinette in the eyeball gorgeous!
Lady Rebecca Fashions, Abby Cox, Nicole Rudolph, Cathy Hay, Prior Attire, and Stringchronicity are some my other faves.
Check out Angela Clayton's Robe a la Francaise, too.
I love watching fashion shows, seeing new outfits, unusual styles, but you're the one who does things that really catch my eye, that's not fancy or extravagant or ridiculous, you've got tremendous intelligence and you know how to use it, ♥️
Omg- I love fashion like this and you PULLED IT Shay! I love the dress so much, you look like an 18th century BEAUTIFUL Sofia The First- Just- wow- I am- Speechless at how much I loved this-
WOAHHH, I've always wanted to go to a ball like this where you dress up fancy and eat those foods etc 😮. That's like a dream come true 😭 also, wow I can't imagine the amount of hard work you put into making the dress, the research, thinking of how u want the dress to look like, the fabrics, the sewing, how u put everything together just blows my mind
Oh my goodness Shay! That dress is so GORGEOUS! You are definitely an inspiration! I'm 15 years old and I would LOVE to get into dress making! You have given me so much of my motivation! Have and amazing day! ❤
Ahhh!!! It was so amazing meeting you and you LOOKED INCREDIBLE! I hope we get to hang out again soon!
So glad to see you enjoy my country and so impressed to see you sewing that dress, very close to traditional dresses from 18th century !
This looks so good omg!!! You always manage to make my jaw drop with your skills and designs lmao
(sidenote, the pronounciation of the french words is killing me 😭💀)
thank you!! and haha you can clearly tell i took spanish, not french, in high school 😂😂😅
Yeah ! 😂
But I found it so cute at the same time !
Your dress was one of the prettiest that I saw from the video tbh!!! You rocked it!! Glad you had fun! Dream trip!!
Girl you need to make these videos longer!!! I could seriously watch you for an hour doing anything, please give us long form content!!
Omg agreed!
aa this video originally started as like a 30+ min video, and then was cut down to make it easier to follow!! but maybe i'll try doing longer videos for future ones!!
Your creativity is so amazing! You have already made my day even better than how it already is! Your designs are always so pretty as well! ✨
You were the reason why I got back into wanting to make custom clothes lol! ✨
So thank you! ✨☺️
Kinda random, but I just LOVE your profile picture, its just so cute
@@FairyPhrog-rz6mp Aww thank you lol!
I was going to change it a while ago but I decided to keep it lol!
You are very nice too! ✨
Glad to have the privilege to talk to you through RUclips lol!
Have an amazing rest of your day or night! ✨
Congratulations on getting your dress together! You look fantastic! The video was so cheery and fun to watch.
I'm especially glad that you had a great time!🎉🌞
This is so cool! For a future project, maybe you could do a cool Regency ball gown? You could time it to be published around the premiere of the third season of Bridgerton in May! 😍
Omg Im so jealous! The dress looks great, I love your designs!
Your shorts made me wish I could see you make the dress the actress Keira Knightley used in "Atonement". The iconic green dress. 💚✨
Crescent shay is such a big inspiration to me
Because I enjoy sewing and it’s a big help to see her imagination come to life using fabric
I’m so glad your video popped up in my feed! How awesome was this entire adventure! Thanks for sharing your creativity and artistry!
The dress is fabulous! You are so talented!
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. This dress came out fantastically, really love it.
So cute 😂 she says "panniers" instead of "pannay" (the French Canadian in me giggled). Stunning dress as always, you look gorgeous in it! You're so talented. ❤
This is just brilliant and really inspires me to continue sewing! I’ve also always wanted to go to France! Pure talent is all I can say!
And there she is... Just casually living my dream life 😮 your dress looked awesome! I'm a sewing beginner but after watching many of the youtubers you mentioned, in my eyes you did amazing!! And to do that in a week? I'm weak! 😭 Love how it turned out ❤
Well now I want to go to this ball!! You did such a good job on the dress!! I hope you had great time 💜
Shay you’re literally living my dream 😭
Also that dress looks AMAZING!
OMMGGGGGG SHAY THAT DRESSSSS LOOKKKSSS GORGEOUS AND THE BALL LOOKED SO FUN, I HOPE YOU GO TO MORE AMAZING PARTIES LIKE THIS CAUSE YOU DESERVE IT!
In love with your energy and vibe! Didn’t know much bout these types of dresses but gosh there’s so much to them! Your excitement is so sweet and contagious! “Very French and oui oui” 😂😂 you look incredible! The dress is stunning! Looked like so much fun! We love!
Fetes Galantes (pronounced fet galAHnt) is a dream!! 18th century costume is not easy for sure but you knocked it out of the park ❤
I love your work. It’s truly amazing. Also, the dress came out great!
YOUR A A GREAT DESIGNER AND YOU COMPLETE AWESOME WORK!!! I'M EXCITED FOR YOU - TAKE PLENTY OF PICTURES AND HAVE A GREAT SAFE TIME!!! 👍
Wow! The ball is my dream! I would love to dress up with 18th century clothes!
It’s literally looks like beauty and the beast!
Wow! That looks amazing and so fun!
I love your videos and designs! You are so inspiring 😊
I now have a sewing machine and have taken inspiration from shay and she has helped me make so many things!❤❤
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a shay vid especially as a Aussie! I love it. 🩷🩵
Thank you for your all efforts ❤
I am so impressed yall got it done this fast, always helps to have friends who can also sew
SHAY YOU ARE AN ICON. and you look scarily similar to one of my teachers from a few years back but still AN ABSOLUTE ICON
That's so amazing! You're really talented!
I love your work and all the outfits/dresses you have made. This dress is amazing and congratulations for all the efforts you have made to do it. As a French, I can say that I was so happy when I saw that you came to France, (to Versailles by the way) and I am so happy to see that this ball pleased you.
This came out beautifully! ❄️🩰👗
Something else to put on my life bucket list:
Go to one of these parties
You did a fantastic job! Looks beautiful on you! Love your encouraging words 💕🇨🇦
We just watched history through a looking glass of today. It was really a glimpse of how people lived life back then. It’s really quite amazing to watch.
I just LOVE your videos! They are so inspiring and i always love your energy!
awesome job!! That looks so fun!
with what's done literally last minute, it looks amazing. I mean i can see it looks like its falling apart at the skirt hems near the end but its amazing!
Not me just realizing that one of her friends dresses is literally Eliza’s dress from Hamilton ( the teal one )😂 I mean nothing wrong with it, I personally love the dress and thought it totally fit in.
I love the "vibing with shapes" thing, you know you've lost all patience when you're just draping shit and praying that it'll work! XD Also, HAD to send this to my bestie so they could be jelly with me, I KNOW that they'd love to go to an 18th century ball in France as much as I do.. :P
Watching your videos are so entertaining especially right now I'm trying to work on my cosplay for an event
i like how u don't give up on your projects and i love how creative and inspiring you are! i dare you to make a fire dress!! i wanna see how beautiful or cool you make it😍🔥
This is so amazing! I wish shay posted daily, but it’s obviously not possible to make a dress EVERYDAY- love you anyway shay!
You
Poked absolutely beautiful! Great job!
This is the best, most enthusiastic video I have seen! I love costumes and you have inspired me to become a better costumer- I am still a beginner too but can't wait to get better, as well as go this ball! (I love going to balls) I also can't wait to start working on my dress! I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful costumes and how you make them! Have a most splendid week! :)
i love your happiness doing the video 🥰
I dont know how you do this girl i could never. THIS IS TALENT.
THIS IS EVERYTHING!! OMG I just found your channel, and let me just say your work is SO impressive, amazing.
Amazing job. Looks like a ton of fun! You have a lot of talent!
That dress you've worn on that ball at Versailles looks amazingly beautiful 😍😍😍
HELP MY DAD WAS THERE 💀
Why U saying help??
@@LasuK-cr4pvyeah
the wait for her videos to come out ALWAYS pay off
I love your fashion designs, and they are amazing
Congrats! You’re first
I love how the procrastination is just a necessity, bc I'm procrastinating making my homecoming dress by watching this! Yayyy!
Hey shay , it is illegal to record or take pictures of the Eiffel tower at night because the lights were added on in the eighties but you can take recordings and pictures on your phone . Just keeping you out of fines
Your so talented!
You all looked stunning so beautiful and elegant ❤ I would love something like this for my wedding
_what an amazing experience! you are absolutely glowing! im so happy you had such a fantastic time!_
Things like this are so cool to me. As a kid I always looked at historical paitings or read historical texts and thought that it was unique in a melancholy way that experiencing the past through a first-person lense is inimitable, but these types of gatherings make it, in some small part, possible. Side note I obviously don't think that experiencing history from a first-person lense with 100% accuracy would be _fun_ or _cool,_ as, obviously, there were MANY downsides to living in the past.
the dress look sooooo good i love it
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Im so glad i got recommended your channel!! :D
I love the dress that you made!
as much as i love the mad rush i would love to see what you could come up with some of these dresses with a good amount of time to perfect it. but as a procrastinator i def understand lol looks awesome!
Shay you should,d made some dresses and sell them it would be so good and then you will be famous.
Your dresses are really so good I loved them so much ❤
Versailles is amazing and your dress is so royal with the color choice ❤
This is very random, but your videos help inspire me a lot. I procrastinated a lot of my summer work and I have to finish it really quickly, but the amount of stuff you were able to do in just a week gives me a bit f hope 5 that I can pull this off. Ur amazing ❤️
You did look great in your outfits for Paris including the dress you made. I do wonder if you would try historical outfits again. Glad you was able to enjoy the trip with your two best friends. It is even better one was willing to help you out at last minute and maybe was even expecting to pitch in considering how well your friends know you. It would be scary to think what you could make if you spent three weeks on a simple project.
Your look was amazing and it looked so fun.
You did amazing in such little time! The ball looks like so much fun! 🤩
I also sew & live in L.A county. How lucky are _we_ to have a fashion district! 🤩😍
My best friend is so amazed by this and she says ur so lucky to go to the ball!
12:59 "I'm gonna put her in the bag"
I really thought for a moment that you were talking about chronos🤣
I went to Versailles, it was really pretty. Your so lucky to experience a ball!!!!
I AM SCREAMING!!!! How i wish i could go there too😭😭 It's literally everything i dream of, making a historical dress by myself, wear it in a ball😭I am a HUGE fan of historical fantasy manhwa's and the dresses they draw are beautiful, it hooked me up instantly. I love it
That's so cool, hope you enjoy your time down here (though mind the temperature - rn it's at least 30°C in most of the country, 40°C at most).
With that said, awesome work as always
Awesome video! Enjoyed it so much!
stumbled on ur channel and LIVING FOR THISSS slay

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!
