    I am so grateful to see even some of the construction of this dress. As soon as I saw the fashion plate about a year ago, I had to have it with absolutely no idea of how it might have been put together. Once I realised that the bodice piece was actually a polonaise, I had a little more inkling of what I could do, but tackling that bib front was perplexing me! To see how you tackled it makes it much easier for me to visualise and I'll be making a mockup soon! Thank you so much 💜🙋🏽‍♀️🇦🇺

      @@Leeam I can't speak for others, but for me, the dress speaks of class and style. It's clean and elegant lines are attractive and in an era which was full of frills, crazy fabric patterns and voluminous cut, the dress is simple but flashy at the same time. I feel that this is more attractive to modern tastes than the "full on" fashion of the era? 🤷🏽‍♀️

      @Leeam  2 года назад +1

      You’ve hit the nail on the head, at least for me😅 it may sound weird from me, the 1830’s biggest fan. But I absolutely can’t stand all the frilly lace and ho-ha from this period🙈 I like structured clean lines.

      @@Leeam hahaha... Exactly! I mean, floof has its place, but when you see so much from the 1840s, you get tired of it. But a classic tailored look that speaks of care and attention to small detail is timeless 😁 especially in a period where more is more!

    Great to have your friend assist you and as they say ' to keep your hand in' while your moving towards your next challenge ( job 😘) ! The outfit is gorgeous, ah love the colouring. 💖 I was confused at first with the pocket , holding your mic pack as each layer you added seem to have the opening in a different place? Then you mentioned that a pocket could be under the final outer layer. This would be the fancier one I guess? Thanks ladies.

    What a beautiful dress! And thank you for showing those changes.
    And a huge thank you for showing and mentioning your serged edges! While I love historical adequate costumes, my energy level wont allow doing all that by hand most of the time. So I use my serger too and sometimes feel bad because of that.
    (And I wanted ask for a banana tutorial too, but I read that many requested that already and you put it on the list so I think I dont have too xD Is it a bit like a build in gusset?)

      @@Leeam Thank you for replying. I don't think they are Truly Victorian because I didn't see them on their website. That would mean they must either be self-drafted or from the book. If you happen to find some time to check when you get back that would be great. Otherwise, I'll try to get my hands on a copy of Costumes for Stage and Screen and see if they're in it. All of your work is lovely and you are obviously very talented! Enjoy your holiday!
