It’s official: I’m replacing all my clothes with 1910s suits.
1950-1960 dresses for me. New look pleplum style suit.
The petticoat is lovely enough to be worn as a skirt, all the swishing and swirling. The material for it may not be historically accurate, but the idea of using what you have on hand, definitely is. I adore the look of twill tape finished seams. The black with the blue wool is gorgeous. My afternoon is now going to be spent getting a bunch of masks cut out in preparation for sewing tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your project. It was lovely to watch, and I will definitely check out your previous one on point-turning. Take care, stay safe.
Yes, it really is! I would have loved to make it of silk, but yes; using things on hand is sometime the best!
Thanks for your comment! ❤️
@@BellaMaesDesigns down the road you can always make your dreams come true!❤️
That music is exactly what it feels like to keep sewing when your bobbin runs out... I always feel like such a clown when I finally discover it! well edited!
"I probably don't have time to do the jacket and release this video while it's still relevant" ... Here we are, six months in (depending when you're counting from), with as many cases as ever and a vaccine still a long way from production. I think you may have time for that jacket. :)
Hey guess what?!?
What if she has to do the jacket for this thing to end? 😲
A year later.....
I love the skirts in this period! Pretty and a practical length
Yes, I really love them too!
Don't the skirts also have pockets?
@@meeps2263 not sure about this era, but before, pockets were very common in skirts and if they weren't implied into the skirt itself, women wore additional pockets on the outside

A tip from a daily corset wearer. If u do make a corset i can recommend that you make a fully mock up (completed corset minus the bias layers, as you will be shocked at how small that gap will become if your have built a sturdy corset. 2-4” of shrinking to your natural waist is normal and comfortable.) i have a range that shrink my waist from 26” to 22-20” of which means i start with a 6” gap at the back and end with a 1-2” gap. Just so everyone knows :)
Ivy Banwell thank you Ivy, that’s a really good tip. I keep reading about shrinkage but no explanation as to why. To those who already know, it is obvious whilst it is considerably less so for those of us who don’t!
Haven't had a waistline that small since I was in my 20s (21" waist an 1982). Even then I still couldn't do up my mum's old wedding dress, her waist was 19" when she married in 1957. That was without corsets or any thought of dieting or even healthy eating, just fresh home grown and cooked food, no ready made or take aways, and walk or cycle everywhere as I didn't drive. Like the skirt and blouse but I prefer the regency style short stays for support as I find them more comfortable. Nowadays my much larger stomach/waist hates anything tight.
YOUR CORNER TECHNIQUE. WITH THE RED THREAD. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND MIND BLOWING.
That is all.
Thank you.
I just want to say thank you on how many natural textiles you use in your projects! While it is so much cheaper to buy synthetic fabrics, the microfibers produced by them are very harmful to the environment. In your projects, you are always using natural materials like wool and cotton, and even silk organza! I know it’s very expensive, but not only does it give your projects that extra touch, it also helps the environment. Thank you, and keep making beautiful art!
Ah, thank you for sharing! I do LOVE natural fibers and it definitely helps when making historical clothing...if you want to be accurate, gotta use natural fibers! ❤️
@@BellaMaesDesigns yes I agree, modern natural cloting is so hard to find...
However, I'm curious: how do you take care of historical cloting, big wool skirts, corsets and huge petticoats? I guess chemises and cotton blouses are OK in the washing machine, but for wool or silk...?
I am so glad you left in the moments of pattern direction (or lack of) confusion! Besides being entertaining, I could relate. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Love your videos
That was my mother’s generation....she was born in 1905...
Oh, wow! That's so neat!
Your skill in sewing and design are amazing! You are using your God given talents for His glory. You are a blessing.
your hooks and eyes are to die for, so perfect, so professional
Ah, thanks! I do love making them look nice!
The petticoat and corset are lovely! ThE petticoat looks like it would be a fun #historybounding skirt to wear on its own! Keep up all your heard hard work I can't wait to see what you make next.
Thanks! ❤️ Yes! That's such a great idea; it would be perfect for that!
The petticoat reminds me so strongly of the multi-flounced skirts we used to make in the 70s! The whole ensemble is so beautifully elegant; you look fantastic in it.
This is such a lovely working girl outfit. The corset, blouse, skirt, everything is gorgeous.
Wow... The power of twill tape. Never seen it used so much, but I really dug the finished product and the color contrast.
Haha, yes! I LOVE twill tape!
Yay, another think it -stitch it person. I've been sewing for more than 4 decades & have never used a Comercial pattern. I even teach as my volunteer work, I decide what the project will be &whip it together. Then I use bristol board or whatever so the people attending the given group can have an idea of how to trace & cut what is getting made. Backward or what lol.😂, lovely items you've made sweetie
Thank you so much for linking the blouse pattern! As someone on the plumper side of life, it looks like it will be much more flattering than my (boxy) self-drafted attempts.
💖Love her "Wearing History's Elsie" blouse. Although not a huge fan of buttoning blouses...
1) ⏳Battle w/an hour glass figure. In order to button properly, I will always have to size up to fit upper & lower proportions😔. That leaves all sorts of excess fabric at the waist🤓.
2) The above is also partly why I tend to leave blouses unbuttoned over a tank top. ☀️The other reason is that I live in an climate that tends to run desert hot🏜. Find 💞blazers are more of an ❄A/C ofc, night or winter wear. So, in🌡hotter months an unbuttoned blouse can serve as my "light" blazer for a tailored impression.
Really 💕love💕 how Bella added a drawstring channel to her blouse, so she could cinch in the waist.😉Not a skilled sewer, but have done some refashioning♻️. Think I will experiment creating a peplum on some blouses doomed for the thrift store.
☘Good luck with your project!
The outfit turned out beautifully. You look like you just stepped out of a costume drama.
Ah, thank you! ❤️
This is the first time I’ve stumbled across your channel and just I love how sweet you are & how you’re helping your community and shedding some perspective about the pandemic in light of history, as it relates to your field, of that makes sense. You’re the sweetest soul! 💖☺️
This skirt reminded me so much of the costumes worn in a favourite show I washed called Anzac Girls
Wow so much hand stitching. I applaud your determination. I always have to repeat to myself, I'm making "couture" to get through the hand stitching.
I have the same sewing machine and just jumped off a project to watch this and it was a MOMENT
I just finished playing Vampyr on Playstation4 and I've been loving the 1918 fashion! Stumbling across this video is fantastic!
I loved seeing how you series-ed the shots of you swirling and showing the special kinetics of the skirts, the walking, enjoying nature, and for a moment elevating the woman from long ago into our perception and appreciation for a moment. A stretched delightful moment. Thanks!
Loving the petticoat, I'd love that as a skirt xx
July 2021 and though better - still going on! I love how we all thought it would be over in a few weeks/months!
I’m now inspired to sew a 1918 ensemble similar to this. I absolutely love the blouse and skirt!!!
I love making things fit more than one way! Things get so much more wear when they are more versatile.
This is almost violet evergarden with colors and look with the brown boots
Omg I got violet evergarden vibes too! Especially with the music in parts!
I love how your sewing area has so much natural lighting. You can really see true colors with an open, airy, bright space like that.
No. Not weird at all. There are few things as satisfying when sewing as a well-turned,sharp point.
Glad to hear that! 😏
Karolina is great I’m really glad you mentioned her
I am so flabbergasted that you don’t have more followers! I only found you today but I will be binge-watching all of your videos! Your craftsmanship is absolutely stunning!
Aw, thank you! ❤️
awesome job. I need a 1918 outfit but need to work on proper under garments. Your entire ensemble was fantastic
I love the idea of the hook and eye instead of buttonholes. I think button holes are a pain.
Love the Petticoat and Skirts. It's perfect for Fall.
I'm absolutelly in love!!! I've been wanting to go back to historical sewing for so long and now...I'm totally doing it! Getting the patterns now!
Ah, thank you! That's wonderful to hear! ❤️
I love the couch in the background. Its awesome
Bravo on the whole outfit, but especially the skirt! (Because it is blue and has wonderful depth and I adore blue.)
Blessings to you and your family ✝️🌹✝️
You are adorable! The outfit looks great. I love that period. I wish I had a daughter as talented as you are. Fantastic work.
i found your channel last night and have been enjoying your videos and dedication to perfectionism in your garments. i, too, started sewing at a young age with my grandmother. my mom did some sewing when i was little, but not a lot. i started with barbie clothes, but i had to sew my barbies into their formal wear because i didn't know the proper way to make darts, closures, etc. i sewed some of my own garments as a teen, including my graduation dress. i sewed my daughter and nieces dresses until they were about 7 (my daughter and i had a parting of the ways on ideas of what was cute). i'm almost 51 now and have not done any real sewing (aside from masks) in quite a while, but i am getting up the courage to try again. i want to try self drafting because i am plus size and have a very full bust. rarely do i find a pattern that would actually fit me that wouldn't need a ton of adjustments and i don't really know how to do all of that. i never took my skill level beyond intermediate. so i'm really enjoying channels like yours that teach finishing techniques and drafting, as well as fitting. thanks.
I love your sewing space! So filled with light and cozy at the same time 😍
Thank you! I'm so very grateful for the space!

😊
Such a wonderfully soothing video -- just what I needed right now. Thanks!
Hi, It makes me smile to watch you because you remind me of myself and how much I loved to sew, and sew well, many years ago. I may get inspired to do that again. I remember the days when it was nearly impossible to not do a little sewing Everyday..... or at least pass by my machine and give it a lovingly “hello my love”! Your stroll outdoors showing off your accomplishments nearly made me cry.....(your music choices are lovely as well). ☺️
Thank You for sharing such exquisite and mindful stitching and on such beautiful vintage garments! ❤️
Ah, thank you! Such a lovely comment! ❤️
I really love this time period.
That point turning method is unreasonably satisfying. Just getting back into sewing so this is such a helpful tip!
I love this outfit so much! I've watched this video like 4 times. I need this
1910's historybounding skirt was already on my to-do list, but now that corset... has to be made before...
3 months later and it’s all still super relevant.... unfortunately.
Love the video btw.
this is the first of your videos I've come across and the outfit looks stunning!
Ah, thanks! Glad to have you here!
I suddenly have a need to buy spools of twill tape.
Haha! Yes, I love my stash of twill tape! BTW, ribbonfactory.com has pretty good prices for it! (That probably didn't help you! 😂)
I have a spool of half inch cotton twill tape that’s like the size of a dinner plate and I shall never want for twill tape ever again 12/10 would recommend

DEAREST BELLA , I FIND YOUR SUBJECT AT THE MOMENT. , " STRESSFUL ! " PEOPLE NOWADAYS ARE ALREADY MENTALLY , EMOTIONALLY , PHYSICALLY , FINANCIALLY AND SPIRITUALLY DOWN , WHY BRING UP REMINDERS OF THE MISERABLE PAST HISTORY . THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS MATTER !
@@CynthiaRothschild nobody is forcing you to watch
Nancy Moser does a book series called The Pattern Artist series set in the 1910s and the last book deals with the after-effects of ww1 and the Spanish flu epidemic, it's sooo rare to get a book series focused on women and how THERE lives and businesses were affected, during this era especially. and it's about women involved in sewing and fashion too! and I love that it features fashion plates and pictures from the era at the back and links them in with the book!
This is literally so impressive!!! What an awesome talent and knowledge to be able to create something like this!
How wonderful! I too wanted to make a 1918 outfit for the pandemic and having your video for support is such a relief. Thank you!
Yes! That's exciting!
I'm also in the middle of a 1918 outfit and when the current pandemic hit and the historic mask wearing women photos started circulating I joked about making a 1918 flu outfit. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I need to make a new corset since the last one is too small before I finish my skirt. Unfortunately I don't think I have to hurry to have the outfit still be relevant 🙄
Very, very, very nice! I can't wait to get started on mine.
I played Marian from the Music Man last summer and it would have been the same time frame! I loved it! ❤️🙌🏼
Youre so inspiring! Im 28 and just started learning to sew, I hope to be ok your level one day. Beautiful work.
A lovely project. Thank you for sharing! I’m a first-time viewer and will be subscribing.
Love the petticoat, underskirt look. You did a great job. My mom was born in 1908, and said she was sewing at the sewing machine at age 5. I think she made up her own patterns too. She said she practiced on her dolls, and then was able to cut a piece of cloth to make her own dress. She taught us well, and we made all our own clothes. I remember her working at a bathing suit sewing factory during the second WW making parachute packs, and later making bras. My sister and I made our own wedding dresses. It's a wonderful life. Thank you for the memories.
Ah, that's so neat! Thanks for sharing!
I literally fell in love with that so g The Rose and The Thorn and went through all the songs on your list to find out which it was. Beautiful.
Wow! Beautiful work! I truly love all the pieces you made, you're very artistic. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! ❤️
So very lovely! I want to put a "Votes for Women" ribbon across you! Absolutely gobsmacked by the amount of dedicated work you put in and the final product which is incredibly sublime. Well done!
This is the second video for me watching Bella Maes make period clothing. I enjoyed it so much. I use to sew my own clothing-many moons ago-but had to quit once I entered the workforce full time. However, watching her sew these garments made me nostalgic for those days. I am impressed at her craftsmanship. Bottom line: I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed to her channel.!
Awww! Glad to have you here!
Precise. (Not weird!) Lovely work. You deserve all.the.credit for your skills!
Aw, thank you!
Well stated! Good for you! this suit is absolutely fantastic!
Absolutely lovely!
The skirt ist gorgeous, the color and the patternadjustments too.
Watching this in May 2021 and crying inside because its still relevant
Wow! Lovely things you do! Loved them all.
This is the first time watching one of your videos and I really like it!
Welcome! Glad to have you here!
Great job! Love the results, very romantic with the corseted waist.
I'm 100% going to make a skirt version of that petticoat 😍
lovely, lovely, you did a great job. thank you so much
I love this whole outfit, from shoes to hair everything is so cute!
I looooooove the colour of that petticoat!! And the shape of the skirt, makes me want to go and make a bunch of similar skirts for everyday wear...
This is all so gorgeous and I am so jealous, I will definitely watch this many times to try and understand enough to make my own because wow!
You are so talented! I love this outfit!
What an exquisite outfit!!! I love it.
I like the skirt, the petticoat is wonderful, but the blouse steals the show for me. I like it better every time I see it. Wonderful project, looking forward to the jacket.
Ah, thank you! Yes, I do love how the blouse turned out! ❤️
The skirt is so beautiful!
Love the outfit so much! Hoping that *someday* I'll have the skills to sew myself something like that.
Watching this video and seeing how lovely you look in the finished project, makes me want to dress like this all of the time.
You look lovely! Such beautiful clothes you’re so skilled and so beautiful too 🥰
30 December 2021 - Continues to be apropos. Happy New Year - we ALL need one!
I love your choice of music! Your 1918 outfit is beautiful with all the lovely details. And I completely understand your twirling!
I would def wear the blue skirt today
This was all beyond my skill level, but your entire video held my attention! I love how your pieces turned out and how you modeled them so well! Your videography and music are stellar, as well! What a treat to “find” you today!
Ah, thank you! I appreciate it! I'm so very glad you found me! ❤️
I’m new here and I really must say your home interior reminds me severely of my primary school days 😅😅 and I have idea what to feel about it enjoyable walk though though!😲
About 17:10- hand-stitching outdoors in the wind! 😳 You're more patient than I am!
That skirt is so delicious! It falls so prettily💗
wow! it looks great, so perfect! loved the color of the petticoat!
Your videos are awesome! I am definitely tempted to make the skirt...and corset...and blouse! 😅I have a Bernina sewing machine and it’s neat to see that you have one too!
i love the corset, its so pretty and cute
Such beautiful work!!! Makes my heart sing to see such beautiful finishing work. Yay you!!!
That's a gorgeous ensemble. The drawstring on the blouse gives it a great look, and I love the swishy petticoat. Kudos to you.
Your facial expressions were my exact facial expressions trying to figure out the sleeves for this blouse. I ended up making the short sleeve version.
Haha, yes! It was definitely not an easy part to figure out!
Wow I absolutely love this outfit!!!
I've been in a sewing slump for a while, and haven't had the motivation to work on any projects anymore, but your video and watching you through the process of creating this outfit not only inspired me to get back into sewing again but also inspired me to look into Edwardian-WW1 fashion era. Maybe I will splurge on the patterns in this video and recreate the whole outfit!
Oh, my! That is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing and I hope your dive into the era proves successful! ❤️
