- Today I am turning the pattern of regency stays into a modern couture dress!
A big thanks to Debby for wearing the dress in the reveal! You can find her on instagram / deborahhaarmeier or here on RUclips @Deborah_film

I vote heavier silk satin for luxurious version and linen for less formal. The dress looks stunning. Those pearls are really a cherry on top that bring everything together. Brilliant as always. I'm tempted to make my own now :).
Yes! Reading the comments I’m really torn between a shiny silk or a linen :D
I forgot to mention, how much I appreciated learning your thread tips! Even if you didn't do it purposefully, watching you make the seam using 2 spools of thread at a time and not cutting them so it isn't wasted, fantastic tips!!
Also, I meant to close the last comment with...
With joyful wonder,
Audri
My vote is for a soft linen or a matte rayon twill! We don’t typically think of these as luxury fabrics, so i would love to see them used in a couture gown with beading and/or embroidery
You should try cartridge pleats on a skirt that thick next time! It would eliminate the bulk in n the waist. That fabric would be perfect for it!!! And its a historic method
She did that, just her attachment method was diffrent. But I agree that this would have solved here issues 😊
She did use cartridge pleats. Did you mean a different kind of attachment method?
Or maybe crossed these pleats with other pleats? I wondered of box pleats would have given similar fullness, but made for a narrower waist.
I think it always shows a love of a subject when someone cares as much for the details that are not seen, just as much for the ones that are on show. The dress is beautiful. We'll done.
Definitely! I think the inside tells a lot more about the person who made a garment than the outside :) thank you 🥰
Die Videos sind so wundervoll gemacht. Es ist fast wie in einem Historien- und Kostümfilm und verzaubert regelrecht. Zum Schmunzeln bringt mich immer die hörbar deutsche Aussprache ❤ Es gibt kein Nähkanal hier der so hochwertig und ästhetisch ansprechend umgesetzt ist und zum träumen anregt. Jedes Kleid wird zu einer Geschichte und mit Gefühlen aufgeladen. Einfach traumhaft, mein ganz grosses Kompliment 🎉🏆💐
I love that, despite it's difficulties, you gathered the velvet. It shows the fabric to it's best advantage. Beautiful dress and the video was lovely to watch. Thank you
Yes I agree, gathering the velvet was risky but I like that she did the riskier thing and I think it looks great! As for bulk, I thought it added bulk in the right places to add curve to the hips
The fabric is sumptuous, but watching this reminded me of how often I had to dust the lint out of the interior of my machine the last time I used it. It's the price we pay for beauty sometimes, right? Always a pleasure, Frieda. Thank you, as always, for your beautiful videos.
Thank you so much! It sure is :D I was vacuuming more than sewing I think 😂
Just WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The cinematography and the dress are absolutely incredible, of course, but I'm also struck by how neat you are as you sew. Each part being collected in a box just for this project is just another level of organised
i totally agree with making the inside as beautiful as the outside! it's like a special gift to myself or whoever receives the garment! and it love the teaching element of your videos. i always see a new way of doing something!
Ich bin jedesmal wieder aufs Neue beeindruckt.
Deine Arbeit ist extrem beeindruckend.
Und damit meine ich nur das Nähen sonder auch die Kameraführung und den Schnitt vom Video.
Die Musikauswahl und das nutzen echter Geräusche ist eine wunderbare Mischung.
Ich will gar nicht wissen wie viele Stunden Arbeit in deinen Videos stecken, aber ich freue mich über jedes neue
You can iron your seam allowance flat on every piece before sewing to purposely crush the pile of the velvet into submission making the seams less bulky. Leaving a few millimeters between the sew live and the ironed line would make it invisible from the front.
The velvet dress is exquisite!! I love watching you create your designs from sketch to reveal! It is like watching a fine ballet. It relaxes me to watch your video's, while filling my mind with wonder, and sparking a desire to be creative. I truly appreciate how you show, in beautiful detail, your process for creating a gown . I'm very excited for the tour.
With joyful
Love the end result! You should try it next with a fabric called Rasmir, it's sturdy, but looks like satin. (Don't get confused with the "Light Rasmir").We use it a lot for our couture and wedding dresses, and it's pretty affordable too! (Fyi I live in Greece)
Dear, dear Frieda! Everytime I see one of your videos, the strong wish to be able to sew grips my heart. I know that there needs to be a lot of practice and training, but I still wish I could just sit down and reproduce one of your beautiful dresses. Maybe one day… I‘ll learn how to 😉
I don’t have any clue of sewing, so my questions might seem a bit silly, but I hope you (or some other talented folk here) can help me:
1.) Do you use a special fabric for the mock ups? And what do you do with your mock up dresses after you finished the real one?
2.) Where do you keep all these beautiful dresses? I wish it was possible but one can’t just wear a dress like this while shopping groceries… 😅
I'm going to propose silk taffeta. The crispness of the fabric will enhance the pleats without making it too bulky, and you can go towards a regency look or a very modern style by picking some duochome shiny one! Anyway, another beautiful dress and a great video :D
Incredible that you manage to iron the valvet without crushing it. I always use my special valvet board covered with nails like a nail mat. Love your video and your dress ❤
Ohhhhh genius re gathering thread saving!
I like that the whole video is very pleasant to watch, like every single clip has its own cinematic touch
This dress is beautiful, as are all your designs. I recommend crepe back satin, silk georgette or even, depending upon how luminous you want the dress to be or not, a lightweight wool crepe.
Splendide ! 🤩 !
Patience et rigueur pour un résultat très seyant !
Bravo ! J’ai hâte de de découvrir ce modèle avec un autre tissu !
🌸🌸🌸
Than you!
It is lovely, I think staying on theme with a linen would be nice.
I love this dress. Your videos are so beautifully done.
Wow stunning as usual I’m so happy you started a RUclips channel as I love watching you sew 🧵
Thank you!
♥️
I don't know how you do it!! I love the gathering trick on the waist... I always learn something from you and your videos are epic in every way!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my videos ♥️
My favorite RUclipsr posted again! It’s always a treasure to see these. I love the personal insights about your thoughts on the wearer that you gave. As always, thank you for sharing your gift. It uplifts everyone who chances to watch.
Thank you so much ♥️ I think a bit of extra infos are sometimes more interesting than just to say what I do and I’m glad you like it :)
So beautiful !! Maybe in High Satin or taffeta it will be beautiful !
The back bodice curve line is stunning!
Beautiful dress, I love the color of the fabrics both inside and out
A beautiful design once again, Frieda! I love how you took inspiration from the 19th century, but made an elegant dress that can be worn now, and added your signature pearl design :) I appreciate your insights into the pros and cons of the heavy velvet. It looks beautiful but I imagine it was even harder to work with than you let on. If you are going to make the dress again in a different fabric, maybe a lighter wool would work nicely?
Would love to see this in a light floaty silk or tulle. Love your designs ❤
You truly are a master seamstress! Fabulous!
Ah!! How did RUclips not show me this even though I'm subscribed 😫
I can't watch it now but you bet once I get home I'll grab a cuppa and put this on ❤ love your videos, you're so skilled 🤩
Hey 👋🏻 I just read your comment and I must say how much it touched me. Obviously this video wasn’t shown to a lot of people (no idea why) but knowing that you somehow noticed it and commented even before watching, just to let me know you are looking forward to it, blows my mind. You really made my day! Thank you for the comment and I hope you enjoy the video ♥️
This is your best video yet! Nice work :)
I love the new take on the historical inspiration! I think this fabric is beautiful, both in color and in weight. I kinda like that the thickness of the fabric references how stays needed to be made of thick fabric to be supportive and hold their shape, so if you make this dress again, I’d love another thick fabric, but maybe one without a pile so it’s not quite as thick as velvet. Beautiful work, as always!
Thank you so much! I really had a lot of fun making this video :) and thanks for the suggestion 🥰
This turned out stunning as always! And the fabric looks gorgeous, both the texture and the colour. Maybe you could try silk of you want to make the dress again? I'm sure it would looks lovely as well!
thanks soooo much!!!! since school is out i can do sewing again and it'll have my attention (school bus driver) i crochet during the school months.
That’s smart! I also think sewing takes a lot of thinking most of the time :)
You're welcome! It's always a pleasure to wear your dresses! ♥️ And the video is beautiful as always. 😁 Love the deep dive in your world! ✨
Your videos are lovely and a pleasure to watch. Your designs are pure art!
Thanks!
Thanks for the ASMR touches! :-)
For an alternative fabric suggestion, how about silk charmeuse?
I think sewing sounds so good, I have to include all the sounds! 🥰 and something silky would definitely look amazing
I think a ligth weigth wool would be stunning. It would have an elegant drape, but also a bit more informal than the velvet. It would also be a nod to the historical fashion, were wool was one of the most common fibres used.
as always your craftsmanship is stunning
🥰 thank you
Your videos are so fullfilling, inspiring, and so lovely.
I keep thinking of a smooth & buttery heavy satin finish silk, for the dress. It would probably need a petticoat, though.
PS
I looked through the comments just now; apparently many of us are thinking the same thing.
Gorgeous!! I absolutely love the color!
This is beautiful. The whole process was amazing to watch x
Thank you 🥰
Maybe silk taffeta next time?
The dresses you sew are always so elegant and I absolutely love the purity of their designs.
This way one can clearly see the quality of the fabric and construction. I wonder on which occasion you might be wearing them but I can't imagine it isn't something grand like a ball in a chateau.
well, that's very wrinkly fabric, according to Young Frankenstein( the movie)😀 that's how much I know about fabrics...
@@bloggerblogg5878 - Well, I imagine taffeta to be something silky, light and swishy. Maybe I am wrong. I am not exactly an expert in fabrics, either ... 😁
Have a great week!
@@saymyname2417 me either😆. in the movie the dress looks like how your described, at east the parts you can see, because it has a fur coat on the top.
Your design is gorgeous! And I'm always loving the beautiful cinematography of your videos (as a film student I'm amazed!) I haven't had any patience to create my videos with more thought in the video aspect but you inspire me to take that time someday when I can replace my missing tripod.. ANyway, love seeing your creations and the final reveal was beautiful with that model! Although thick fabric made it a bit difficult, I think it's so useful to see it!!
Thank you so much! 🥰 my favourite tripod is actually a tape roll :D
@@friedalepold Haha love it!! I've definitely utilized random objects to stabilize a camera! I did photography/videography for many years as a side hustle but sewing is a newer thing. I sense myself wanting to combine my talents and your videos have truly inspired me to make it happen sooner than later! Once I catch up with my pre-recorded content I want to start upping my production creativity, mainly because I just love it so much. It's just so pleasing to watch. :D
Raw silk, definitely!
I think it was perfect. Loved it. Learned a lot :)
Very pretty 😀
Gorgeous
Beautiful
Very beautiful ❤
I want to learn from you! The quality of your work is immaculate. If you ever decide to do a course I would buy it!
I'd love to see this dress in beautiful linnen!
Awesome
This is absolutely beautiful... I’d love to see an interpretation of a pair of 16th century stays
good job sister😘😘
Not sure if you consider it fabric or not but I think it would be fascinating to see what you can sew with lace. Lace can look so many different ways depending on how you use it. You are so incredibly talented that I am sure you would create something stunning!
Exquisite
I love your work a lot!
Can you give any advice on how to do research on historic fashion and maybe recommend some books? (wether they be in english or german)
Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg :)
It's lovely, but i agree that velvet is such a pain in the butt to sew. I second the idea of satin. Though the pearl details definitely compliment the velvet more.
(Linda) Hello from Montreal, Quebec(Canada). everytime i watch your videos, i am speechless. you have a very special talent which makes your YT channel extremely special!! I am curious, between making a skirt in one piece or many pieces; what is the difference? why do you choose many pieces. I sew, but OMG never like you. thank you so so much for sharing your work. I know that I am not the only one to think this ☺
Hey Linda!
Thank you so much ♥️
Choosing the pattern of the skirt can have different reasons. In this case I used velvet, which has a clear direction of the fabric. In order to make a skirt with more volume I had to use panels with the width of the fabric and sew them together in order to follow that direction! I hope that answer your question! 🥰
does anyone have any tips on ironing velvet? I'm always too scared to attempt it since I don't know what I'm doing really
❤
U R Princess 💫
Waiting to hear back from the paper company to see if they sell in the USA
I think it would look beautiful in a bridal lace with a nude lining.
Taffeta
What kind of pencil do you draw your patterns with?
Do you mean on paper or fabric? On paper I am using a Koh-I-Noor Toison D’or most of the time - on fabric whatever works best:D here it’s a ballpoint pen
@@friedalepold ah yes paper! Thank you! Started drawing patterns. But everything I used till now is not 100 I like. Wil look that one uo thank you
Silk
Heavy Satin maybe
Oh that would be nice 🥰
Beautiful
