- Hello again, all!
It’s been a while since I posted anything to RUclips, but I got so many lovely comments lately that I wanted to share more with you here.
In the mean time, I’ve been actively making and posting videos weekly on Patreon and, good news, I’ve greatly improved my filming and sound set up in the past couple months. I know the number one complaint with my videos here has been sound, which is partially why I stopped posting to RUclips. This is an older video, but I’ll probably be sharing more new stuff here in the future as well.
This video originally posted to my Patreon back in October. It has an accompanying video about the construction of this gown as well, if you’re interested. There are also a construction post about the dressing gown, and a closer look at the original dressing gown in my collection that inspired it.
Cheers!

I absolutely love the natural form silhouette. it's just sooooo flattering. and the dress has no less than THREE pocket !... I'm in love.
Alllll the pockets! 😁
I always enjoy your presentation. Very classy. What a beautiful train on this gown. Lovely as usual. 😊
I appreciate your description of why you like buttons. I have just begun trying to use hooks and eyes to get away from zippers (in my everyday clothing) and I can vouch for the trickiness involved in lining them up just right so they don't tug or gap.
Ugh, now I want to dive into the 1870s too! So much inspiration. Those drawers are excellent too :)
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for a very detailed description of all the garments and showing each step in dressing. Love the pockets and watch pocket. Hope to see more from you!
I love your page so much!! I would love a peek into your wardrobe or how you store your outfits!! 😍
Thanks! I’ll have to do a video about my storage one day. I literally use a shipping container 😂
Thank you for this. It's very helpful for us writing in the 19th century.
This is so gorgeous I truly love this dress I really would love to make this in a different color this is so good! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! Make it, too!
What a lovely silhouette and the little watch pocket is adorable! I hadn’t noticed little lace cuffs before so will look out for that.
Thanks! Keep and eye out in paintings and photos especially. Often, dresses in museum collections no longer have accessories like that.
So happy to see a new video. Your videos are always lovely and the dressing gown is stunning. This made my day better and I hope to see more videos🙂
Thank you so much ♥️
You look lovely in your outfit. I absolutely love your dressing gown. I feel like I need one now so I can wear it around my house instead of pajama pants or sweats. I would love to see how you made the dress and dressing gown and the original garment.
Thank you! A dressing gown is definitely more stylish than sweats! (Which I am totally wearing as I write this 😁). And if you’re interested, I have posts up about the construction of both these garments, and the original dressing gown, on Patreon.
Oh what a lovely fabric! Timeless too. Would be perfect for a summer dress today. The dressing gown is also stunning. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you ♥️
I wish we dressed like this today
Ye gods, all those buttons! What an undertaking it was to get dressed each day - no chance of dashing out the door on the last minute back then! 😉 Stunning work.
Alllll the buttons 😁
Gorgeous! I love your dressing gown.
Thank you!
This was so beautiful! I love the print on the fabric ♥
Thank you!
This is absolutely gorgeous, I love the apparent simplicity of the dress.
Beautiful!!! Both the dressing gown and the gown. What a lovely, natural looking shape.
Thank you!
so beautiful! Well done and so well commented! You have just inspired me: Today I will be in my atelier to continue. It's so much better than to brood over Pandemia-issues...
Wow, you're an artist! Love your video, costume and vibe! ❤️
Very beautiful
I really liked your work with these costumes, they were magnificent and extremely well worked. If possible I would like to purchase the sewing pattern for this dress.
Lovely!
Thank you! ♥️
such a lovely job
Thank you!
Stunning dresses. You did an amazing job. 😄
Thank you!
Wow! The dress is amazing and very flattering. I wish this was in style so I could wear it out in daily life. It also looks very comfortable too.
you can! you might get a few confused looks (speaking from experience wearing medieval clothes for like a month in the capital of my country), but it´s overall super nice to wear historical clothes, i´m planning on sewing some 1890s stuff to incorporate into my everyday wardrobe :) be a rebel, wear clothes you like (though it´s understandable if you´re anxious or hesitant)
@@estherbunny you have nerves of steel. Superman has nothing on you. I hope to one day build up my courage to match yours. I still get anxious wearing my historybounding outfits in public.
Also, if possible, would you show us your medieval outfits? I love that fashion era!
@@hotjanuary i do care unusually little about what other people think, and have confidence in no short supply, but i believe in you to build up the confidence too. If you´re already historybounding you´ve already started :) most of the medieval outfit was actually borrowed, and while i´m also planning to sew a shift and kirtle (and in time a bunch of other stuff), that will surely take ages, as i want to sew it all by hand and don´t have experience drafting and fitting patterns. Pray for me
are your historybounding outfits ones you´ve sewn yourself?
@@estherbunny the skirts I bought, but the simple loose cotton blouse and lace up vest I made myself. I’m currently making a new vest, trying to make it better than the first and improve on the things I didn’t like in the first. It’s a slow going process because I have to pace myself as sewing is new to me.
@@hotjanuary that´s so cool, good luck to you on that, i hope you have a lovely day and a lovely vest :)
Hi! I loved the video. One question: is it possible to breathe normally with the corset? I imagine that in summer this outfit is very hot, with or without corset. there are many layers! ahhahaha
That style that we see in Anne with an E and that we see in a lot of cottagecore videos, as well as the Pride and Prejudice. What styles are they?
I love this so much!!
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
Lovely! I'm a fan of Natural Form era gowns. Question -- why does the skirt tie at the side vs the back like the petticoat? Was it common to switch the closure direction, or was that personal preference (reducing bulk, etc)? Thanks for a great video!
Thanks! The opening was totally a personal preference. It was just easier for me to reach on my side.
Really cool and the dress looks entirely natural on you
Would this be considered 1890s? I know the bustle undergarment was the rave during 1870s-1880s (maybe more so the 80s).
Your bloomers should go on under the chemise and the corset that way you won't have an accident by going wee-wee on the chemise and have to change it several times a day.
I love this outfit from start to end. LOVE!!!! If u ever want to sell the pattern i would purchase
Thank you! It started as a Truly Victorian pattern, so you can already buy it 👍
Lovely! The silhouette is epic and all the details are simple but charming. Did you make the corset? Would you mind sharing which pattern or style and where you purchased it?
Thank you! The corset started out as Truly Victorian’s 1880’s corset.
@@dressed_in_time Awesome, thanks!
Is the polished cotton of the polonaise and skirt the plain or the printed fabric? Or is the base of the skirt and the polonaise lining something else?
The polished cotton is the solid, cream colored fabric that I used for the lining of the bodice and the body of the skirt.
Loooveeee thiiiss!!!
Thank you!! ♥️
Meget flot kjole. Har du lavet en video hvor du viser hvordan du har ændret/lavet mønstret om ?
Etude
In your blouse-in your skirt in classic romance,
Your experience tears in the silk of your shawl,
Your tone in the waving manners of your skirt,
Flooding muliebrity in moral beauty.
Your source is cozy warmth in your heart,
Your sea basin with accompanying passion,
Swishing your gliding walk in posture,
In length of waterfall flooding the depth.
Surrounded by protection of current of your sea,
By timeless feature of cordial attitude,
It’s color with hot storm roaring embrace,
Enchanting infinity in the world of your loyalty.
It’s material in salient charm of your bosoms,
In changing relation in windy occasion,
Feeling your custom evokes you in several ways,
In humble romance of your profound beauty.
This gown is from the 1870s
