The new overgown goes so much better with the undergown than the yellow one did; it could have been made for it.
This turned out extremely beautiful, and I loved the reveal in that amazing house!
That color-combination is gorgeous and it looks _amazing_ on you! Wonderful job!
Thank you so much!
This is amazing and I am going to start another project that I will never finish ✨✨✨✨✨✨
How absolutely beautiful. You look gorgeous
Thank you so much!
The outdoor shots of you walking through the mist truly look like something out of a movie. Gorgeous work!
This is gorgeous. Thank you for this video!
You are talented. Beautiful.
Totally inspired. I have a passing-accurate gown I made my senior year of high school from the Period Patterns Italian Renaissance packet; I used cotton velvet and a mystery textile brocade. It only has you make the outer gown with sleeves and a "stomacher" to give the look of a full undergown, but now I'm determined to glow it up and make the real deal!!
Wow! Just Wow! 💛👍
That was so beautiful, you are very talented.
It’s absolutely gorgeous!
I'm not going to pretend I understood all the sewing terminology, but I do know that the 'gatherings' are important 😊😉. It's all about the gatherings...It's incredible that you are hand stitching this. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I've enjoyed getting to know your channel more this year. Hope you have a great New Year.
A truly autumnal dream shrouded in majestical mist. Bravo!
Happy New Year ! What a beautiful gown and a beautiful place! Thanks
Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
All that math and finger crossing was worth it for this outcome! It's so beautiful - glad you managed with that limited amount of fabric :) The worn shots are amazing too, that weather set a mood!
Beautiful fabric. I love that you let us watch you sew. The construction of the garments is so interesting. ....beautiful job.
Beautiful gown. I loved how it fluttered. In the breeze toward the end of the video . Gorgeous fabric.
It turned out beautifully! What’s lovely setting to take pictures. Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing more beautiful projects from you in 2021!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Stunning gown!!! It worked out so beautifully and could that fog be any more perfectly timed in the grand setting?!
Oh, this is sooo beautiful! You certainly LOOKED like you were in an Italian villa. Lovely work! Stay well.
That is gorgeous! The fog was perfect for your needs that day :)
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
The dress is gorgeous! fantastic work.
And what a magical shooting location x
Ooh! I’ve been looking forward to this 😁
Edit: questions - Did you continue using the strong vintage waxed thread when attaching the gathered skirt and hand sewing the hem? Did you also place a hook and eye at the waist seam and below the tie closure? I love this dress, it is both simple and gracefully attractive - brilliant use of limited supplies, too. Thank you for showing it so evocatively at Swannanoa.
I did keep using the vintage thread but mostly because A) it matched well and B) I didn't have any more of the regular thread in this color except what was in my bobbin and I didn't want to use that haha! If I had used the regular thread I would have doubled it for strength when I attached the skirts! I didn't place a hook and eye, but I think I actually will do that for the next time I wear it. It was a lot of pressure on that single ribbon. It held, but if I was going to wear it all day I would have been worried about the ribbon!
I know what you mean by fabric that frays like crazy. I'm using fabric that I was told has been made by sino-tebetan artists and Lama monasteries. It's beautiful woven silk with silk embroidery and when it frays, the loose bits are more stubborn than animal hair. But it's a risk to use such a lovely exotic ethnic fabric for a gown.
Such a lovely New Year surprise to wake up to - as always, you look stunning and the craftsmanship is *chefs kiss*. Wishing you a successful 2021! 🧡
That overgown fabric really works beautifully with your under gown. It has great body and flows so nicely. Happy New Year!
Thank you! Same to you! ❤️
Oh my, you are in Virginia! Maybe one day we will run into each other!
I actually live in DC so had to travel a bit for this 😁
Hello there! Love the work you've done on this. I'm looking to make one myself out of previous curtain fabric with embossed damask, and I'm also worried about limited fabric. I wanted to ask you, for the skirt, are the panels based off a pattern piece, or just straight panels with no curve for the hem/waistline?
Hi! These are totally rectangular pieces with no shaping at all!
Where did you find that lace??? I've been looking for some metallic lace for a project and that is exactly what I had pictured! Gorgeous results, as always!
This was so old janky gold lace I got at a weird fabric remnants store like 15 years ago! It was really heavy and bulky, so I actually cut it apart to make it more delicate and lacey! It worked out really well!
I found some at Hobby lobby once
Could you do i think its a french seam instead of felling? Im still learning to hand sew well
Definitely! If I had two raw edges I would have done a french seam, but since I had a finished edge the felling is a bit easier!
