I love the chemise à la reine dresses. I'm Lakota (Native American) so my people weren't the tribes who were growing cotton in the southern area of what is the U.S. today. My mother in-law's people were Natchez and Muskogee Creek so my children and grandchildren are related to those tribes. There are so many Indigenous related foods (potatoes, tomatoes, corn, etc) and other crops ( cotton, tobacco) that go uncredited as being something Indigenous people in North and South America created that raising awareness and knowledge is a good thing. Native people were originally the first to be enslaved in the New World colonization. Most tribes in the Caribbean died out from diseases brought by colonists and slaves from Africa because they had no previous exposure to build up immunity. The Caribbean people today have completely replaced the original inhabitants of those islands. There is a lot of history that isn't talked about and I think re-creating these dresses is a step in the right direction. There are many sides to events that took place in the past imo. They should all be told and discussed without the finger pointing/gatekeeping that seems to be so prevalent right now.
The amount of effort and time you put into these pieces is really inspiring. I feel for the sanity of those who had to embroider the original french chemise without a machine!
depends how wide your curtains are. Some are double the with of 'regular' fabric, so your 5 yards could be enough if your lucky and yours are wider too :D
You, my dear Sewstine, are completely bonkers and I absolutely love it - 120 hours just for the embroidery! How do you find the time with a job and family as well? I am blown away by this incredible commitment and skill and just how wonderful you are! 🤩
Fortunately in modern times people are ignorant of the fact that this was LITERALLY just her underwear, so it passes for being acceptable to wear as a dress. Every time I see Marie's portrait in that dress I just have to cringe and think, somebody should have put some real clothes on the poor demented girl.
@@christinecameron1612 It was not literally just her underwear. Women wore stays and petticoats and other foundation garments with a chemise dress. She was wearing real clothing.
@@christinecameron1612 It wasn't though. It was very much outerwear, heavily ripped/inspired by what enslaved women in the Caribbean were wearing as well as cotton clothes from the Indian subcontinent. The "it's her underwear!" was a hyperbole to denigrate the style, commenting on its informality and lack of Rococo complexity, not a literal statement of "the women are wearing undergarments". Your comment here lacks both an understanding of the past, dress history, and any real nuance or care for people. Please think before you post. Marie was not "demented" (leave off the ableism too) nor was she a girl. She was an adult woman making her own sartorial choices, well aware of what those choices meant as part of her constructed image.
@@frockups5931The dress wasn't ripped from enslaved women in carabbean,j ust look at the paintings of caribbean plantations and the enslaved women aren't wearing anything close to a chemise a la reine, also a chemise a la reine would have not been a practical cloth to work in. It most likely orignated from he elite women in the caribbean who were (obvioulsy) not enslaved. Also the cotton from which the chemise was made would have been really expensive for an ensalved woman
Honestly, for about half of this video I was sitting here, agog, not even trying to follow the technical explanations, simply marvelling at the immense skill and experience you brought to this project. And I love your attitude! Why should you make a version of any dress that you don't want to wear?
Christine what a beautiful dress! You are what I would like to be when I grow up! (I'm only 65)! You have a wonderful stick- to-it-ness that is absent in me! You have enough energy to rule the world girl! I'm proud to be one of your loyal (happily so) subscribers!
Once upon a time back in the late 1960s early 1970 I once wore a dress of that light of fabric and I had one many years later loosely based on the dress but made more like an edwardian knock off late 20th century. I still loved it dearly!
I'm really glad you took the time to show people where to learn about Costume history's problematic parts. Even just showing people where to go with links, makes a huge difference in spreading awareness.
I love the more structured take on this! somehow this terrifies me less, than the "simpler" approaches on constructing a chemis a la reine that i've seen so far =)
You're level of patience for all the miles of hand stitching is heroic. I love this gown and you always look so amazing in your final product. I love seeing photos of your family enjoying costuming events. I suppose this is why you are a great MD too. Love, love , love this.
I love this dress! I don't like bulkiness around the waist, either, so I prefer your version to the cinched style. One day, I am going to make one of these, or maybe two. I'd really like a pale pink one, too.
Soo cool! You found an article by the university of alberta (my alma mater). The world is so small!! Btw your finished look is very pretty and i really enjoyed all the research and time you put into this video.
O h ruffles are quite the pain….. But they’re so much worth it! It never ceases to amaze me at how historical dresses take infinite amounts of fabric and infinite amounts of fabric, yet have amazing pay-off
I had no idea about the back! That is So interesting! Love this! I still don't know how you aren't just mesmerized by the embroidery machine. Excellent video! The classic shades really make the outfit! !!
Holy WOWZERZ!!! That looks so comfy and so beautiful on you. I Love how you tackled the pleating/gathering issues. Very Clever. The embroidery is amazing. I have got to learn how to use my embroidery machine. You are amazing. p.s....... You look wonderful in all that HairDo!!
The most scandalous thing is that you don't have more subscribers. Your work is very beautiful and detailed, I can see the love with which you do it. Thanks for sharing what you do.
I think the whole process of embroidering your own fabric is so dang cool, i've never heard of a machine like that, and the amount of fabric she had to do was huge! So interesting to see!
This is a crazy-beautiful amount of work. Her Highness would be proud of her spiritual great great (etc.) granddaughter. Well done. Please say you'll wear this to the grocery store. It needs to see sunlight as much as humanly possible... simply Stunning. Enjoy your time away. Hope all is well and that you and yours enjoy the summer. Cheers! - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
Thinking of you today. Hoping you are getting the rest you need. You are an amazing person and I can’t fathom the amount of work you do. You are a mom, a doctor, a homemaker, a designer, a filmmaker, an artist, an embroidery artist, a cook, a decorator. Is there more? You are the Da Vinci of our time. No joke. So simply put, I just knew you needed a rest. Sending lots of positive vibes your way... hoping you get a chance to Chill-lax and laugh. You need a good dose of silly... so just had to say hi, best to the family. This project is brilliant too. 🥰🙏🥰
Another great dress! The last photograph of you holding a rose facing down is the best of the best. I vote for that being another of your thumb photos.
I just wanted to say that I am in awe. Your transformation from a beautiful modern woman to an etheral, pre-revolution French Queen was just so exquisite I felt tears welling up. The history of the dress, its fabric and the woman who first experienced the PR disaster that being privileged and clueless brought her was important to hear. But you, you are amazing. Thank you for doing all these wonderful videos.
Your chemise a la reine is a delight. The embroidery is gorgeous and perfect not only for the Petit Trianon but for Tsarskoye Selo. Hope to see more 18th clothes as well as one of Alexandra Feodorovna's court gowns. Hope Malcolm, Matthew and puppies are well. And last but not least, more Keftans.
I think the the last shot, spray of roses 'dropped', is one of the most beautiful photos of your collaboration/collection. HOWEVER, I think I saw a white dog in one of the paintings you referenced. I have to ask: WHERE IS THE DOG? Very cute family photos at the picnic. Thank you for sharing, again.
This video is perfectly timed; I am planning on making my own chemise à la reine this summer and I will probably be watching this multiple times for tips!
I always really appreciate hearing your describe how long each of these tasks took, because it really makes me think about how long it would have taken when all the washing and ironing and embroidering and stitching and other tasks had to be done by hand 😬
I love the way you handled the social issues surrounding this project. Also, thank you so much for the book name! I have been trying to remember it for the last two weeks and just couldn't access the info tucked back in my brain. The dress is gorgeous and you did an amazing job with the scallops. Adding up in my head the amount of time and labor hand embroidering the original would have taken is mind blowing.
I absolutely love this semi-structured version! I have bought a pattern to make my own chemise à la reine but I need to be more confident in my skills. Lol. I really admire your work - your level of craftsmanship is out of the world to me! 😀 Also, I am French and you did great with your pronunciation of French words. And even if you didn’t, I want to say that no one should put others down for trying speaking another language than their first one. Your ears would bleed hearing me speak English. 😅 Honestly I don’t understand how rude some people are. Anyway, love your videos and your personality - so inspirational! 💖 Radha x
Wonderful. Very impressive. I should love a dress like this. I do have a shop bought blouse which is very well done so that will have to do. Many thanks for a tremendous effort.
I really liked the dress before the added ruffles, and loved it after. Thank you for the links for more information about the dress history. Much appreciated.
I loved that episode of a stitch in time!! I liked that once amber buchart put the gown on she talked about how luxurious the garment felt and how that was kinda at odds with the idea that the garment was imitating the working class
But how would she know? 18th century culture was so different, so rigidly caste driven, It’s hard for modern people to conceive of it. Also, it wasn’t working people being alluded to, it was working girls. The dress was considered to be in ones underwear.
@@elizabethclaiborne6461 Amber Buchart (I'm probably butchering the spelling) is the host of/expert on A Stitch in Time that Sewstine references as having studied the gowns that the videos dress is based off of! I highly suggest watching the episode if you can, because it's really cool to see how their reproduction came together!
@@emmadroste8493 I would like to point out that the host of that series made some mistakes, namely that she repeats the myth that Marie Antoinette played shepherdess at the hameau de la reine and thought that the gowns & hameau were an imitation of a peasant lifestyle, when this isn't true. Even the Chateau de Versailles official website points this out, that it's a myth and not the reality. So her perception of the gown as being at odds with it imitating the working class and being Marie Antoinette's idea of a shepherdess, when it wasn't, doesn't quite fit with the historical reality.
'I have just subscribed because I am just fascinated by your amazing talent ……I have a sewing machine and used it to take in some jeans lol and I will never be able to move onto a full dress 👗…..but that does not matter , or at all ! This dress is so beautiful and delicate and wonderful…thank you for sharing , I can feel a binge watch coming on 💋
i loved this video christine! it was so nice to see the other way of making the chemise a la reine, thank you for making such beautiful educational videos 💕
This looks so gorgeous! I really enjoyed seeing how you made it without the super poofy collar, as that's been my biggest hesitancy to try making one, and I love how simple but elegant it looks with just the plain collar.
I've never known a dress eat fabric like this , I've recently made a draped / gathered version . It used 20 yards of 32" wide chiffon , wonderfully floaty and light , but lordy that hem 😅
excellent. absolutely beautiful. I enjoy watching your videos and thank you for providing the links below so i can continue to research and learn more about this chemise à la reine robe.
I love your videos and I just realized I wasn't subscribed, sorry about that, I am now! Your in-depth research is alone fascinating but when you actually make the garment, just fabulous! But I have to tell you off for not ironing the pattern or lining fabric before you cut it. I doubt you had the pattern pieces on grain. As someone mentioned below you are bonkers but in the end it all comes together beautiful!!!! Can't wait to see what you make next!!!
I left at handsewing 🤣 Like, that's A LOT. Even for chill, relaxing time. But who knows, I'm sure there's a pleated pattern I'm dying to do one day where I'd HAVE to do this method. Thanks!!
I love the chemise à la reine dresses. I'm Lakota (Native American) so my people weren't the tribes who were growing cotton in the southern area of what is the U.S. today. My mother in-law's people were Natchez and Muskogee Creek so my children and grandchildren are related to those tribes. There are so many Indigenous related foods (potatoes, tomatoes, corn, etc) and other crops ( cotton, tobacco) that go uncredited as being something Indigenous people in North and South America created that raising awareness and knowledge is a good thing. Native people were originally the first to be enslaved in the New World colonization. Most tribes in the Caribbean died out from diseases brought by colonists and slaves from Africa because they had no previous exposure to build up immunity. The Caribbean people today have completely replaced the original inhabitants of those islands. There is a lot of history that isn't talked about and I think re-creating these dresses is a step in the right direction. There are many sides to events that took place in the past imo. They should all be told and discussed without the finger pointing/gatekeeping that seems to be so prevalent right now.
sewstine: sees a dress
sewstine:
sewstine: sees embroidery
sewstine: OK you win i'll make it
Rofl omg this is me. I feel seen.
"the french one" made me snort - thank you for another great video!
Same here 😂🐷
As a person who is currently trying to learn french I could relate😂😂
The amount of effort and time you put into these pieces is really inspiring.
I feel for the sanity of those who had to embroider the original french chemise without a machine!
Me: I can totally make a chemise a la reine out of these 5 yards of curtains, right?
Sewstine: I ended up using 12 yards of fabric.
Me: Oh...
depends how wide your curtains are. Some are double the with of 'regular' fabric, so your 5 yards could be enough if your lucky and yours are wider too :D
I've got a set of dark blue bedsheets that are begging to be made into this dress
@@WindspielArt I wish I was that lucky, but the curtains are only 54 inches wide (before washing).
u could make a very small one :P lol
You, my dear Sewstine, are completely bonkers and I absolutely love it - 120 hours just for the embroidery! How do you find the time with a job and family as well? I am blown away by this incredible commitment and skill and just how wonderful you are! 🤩
The chemise à la Reine is one of my favorite dress‘ in history ✨
Mixed with an edwardian day dress of that fabric yes. I love the dress! I love white too.

I absolutely love the look of chemise a la reine dresses. If I were ever to get married, it would be in a similar-looking gown that I sew myself.
This came out really airy and delicate!
Thank you so much for talking about the history of this dress, including the history of the fabric
You KNOW its gonna be a great day when Sewstine posts!
22:02 it's cool to see how many of these dresses she's actually made at this point
Christine what a beautiful dress! You are what I would like to be when I grow up! (I'm only 65)! You have a wonderful stick- to-it-ness that is absent in me! You have enough energy to rule the world girl! I'm proud to be one of your loyal (happily so) subscribers!

The craftsmanship still blows my mind
Soo cool! You found an article by the university of alberta (my alma mater). The world is so small!! Btw your finished look is very pretty and i really enjoyed all the research and time you put into this video.
