Honestly I think it's cute as a top on it's own! A fluffy top and a belt is really just the more modern version of that 'look how small my waist is' illusion that's been going on for ever.
I just made a cute one piece corset cover from the (1905) Edwardian Modiste, by Frances Grimble. Cute fast, and oh so easy...I also used scaps and bits of left over lace trims.. Love your videos... 😅
@FantasticalFolliesCostuming just remember you have to use the rulers or tapes in the back of the book. If you don't the patterns turn out WAY too small and don't fit correctly. I learned the hard way doing patterns from Grimbles books. Each book has its own rulers. The garments I have made have turned out Beautifully.
looks great Jacki! always love a video with some good violence (against fabric) in it😂 God how I hate how modern linen is woven! the little breaking threads when you're trying to just get a nice, even, on grain line, drive me insane! bring back linen looms!!!!
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar you can, yes. Ripping it does create a bit of a warped edge and can be difficult to deal with afterwards. It's not a pleasant experience with modern linen.
@@dancooper-jones I had no idea that previous weaving linen would've made it easier to rip. I definitely don't need wonky seams from ripping anymore than I want wonky seams from cutting. Lol But I will join you in the movement to call for the return to linen being woven on linen looms!
Just got home after "issues," and met with two FF videos. It's a nice pick-me-up even if it is at the expense of an actual wardrobe malfunction. Nice to have this garment in mind while working on my closet crossover.
Sucks you had "issues!" But I'm glad my mild embarrassment went towards a good cause! 🤣 It's really a great little thing to have handy, mine is getting weekly wear since I made it!!

My condolences for the wardrobe malfunction
Hah! Thanks 😂 Luckily, it wasn't TOO revealing, and I'm not particularly modest (30+ years as a dancer), so it could've been worse!

Awesome! I just got one of Grimble's books (the 1880s one) and I'm eager to try 'er out! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

Thank you!! And I agree. Get us better linen! 😡😡😡😡
@@FantasticalFolliesCostuming especially when it's a simple matter of just not using cotton looms for it! Absolutely ridiculous!
Wait what? We should be able to rip linen like cotton?

❤ I have been searching for something like this for somebody with a bustier silhouette thank you so much
Awesome!! So glad that this may be useful to you!!
Always looking for a new project to handsew and this is probably more reasonable for the time of year than a dressing gown lol
LOL! Yeah, I'll agree to that 🤣🤣🥵
You look so gorgeous so adorable in every outfit you are perfect

Thank you so much for watching! (And commenting!) Glad you enjoy them--and hey, nothin' wrong with not making things! 😎
lovely weirdness as always :D
Hah! 😆 Thanks! Glad you enjoy ~the quirkiness~
That defiantly does the job! Looks good too!
Thank you!!

Thanks for watching!!!
So a camisole then? I like how you manage to make it more complicated than it has to be.😅
Go ahead, make a simple garment usually made out of a knit out of a woven fabric. Not as simple.
Call it whatever the heck you want, this isn't complicated at all. It's two rectangles sewn together.
