  • The early 16th century is a time that experts argue over when exactly the medieval era ended and the renaissance took its first footsteps. For most people who aren't familiar with this time period, the dress that I am making will most likely look pretty medieval. For those more familiar with English history, this period is at the time of the rule of the Tudor king, Henry VIII. This dress was made in the 1520s for the Hungarian Queen and granddaughter of Maximilian I, Holy Roman emperor. I have been so excited to recreate this extant garment. I tried my best to make it as historically accurate as possible, but I admit budget did get in the way sometimes. I also sport a 14th century medieval dress in this vid which is def not from the same time, but its fun so...
    Here it the website I got the gowns measurements from:

    Is is completely stunning and amazing to see how the silk shins when you walk. I love to imagine how a ballroom or royal court would look with dozens of fine ladies adorned with silk gowns.
    Also I believe the embroidery on the shift is called smocking and is a special type of hand embroidery used to hold pleats together.

    This is absolutely gorgeous! You have outdone yourself. I'm right there with you with learning most sewing stuff off RUclips. I haven't sewn anything yet, but I'm gathering the courage! Bernadette Banner, Michara Tewers, and you are my favorites for seeing the chaotic reality of sewing. Keep up the stunning work!

    The dress turned out beautifully! Now about the cost of fabric: you might want to look at thrift stores, Sheets, curtains, tablecloths are always an option. You also might want to check out online line stores. I hope this helps. Happy sewing journeys and Blessings to All.

    Amazingly done work! I love how you went with cartridge pleating on most of the shift because that's some dedication lol. It stayed (to haunt us) for a good while but it gives such neat, pretty pleats, I can't hate it. Even if it takes an age to do. Really well done.

    Recently archaeologists were poking around in a medieval castle in Germany and found a stash of discarded linen garments. Among them was what resembled a bra carbon dated to the 13th century. Whether this was a one off or there were more widespread breast support garments remains to be seen.

    Did she just do the smocking pleating by hand!!!!! Lol, sorry, just in shock, I know it was done by hand back then but my mom's hobby is smocking and I grew up watching her use a pleating machine so I was like "what! You can do it by hand, lol", completely forgetting that the machine didn't exist back then, lol
