The 1660s were wild fashion times. Let's make a modern version!

- In which I deconstruct and reconstruct a 1660s meets Victorian- Edwardian 'fit.
Here is the conservation of the silver tissue dress as I mentioned in the video from @historicroyalpalaces : • Conserving a Rare 360-...
Oh my goodness I just looked up that silver tissue fabric. For 44 x 31 inches it was $2000. Wow.
Yes! Silver tissue was (and still is) so expensive! It really gives some interesting context to the wardrobes of those who were able to afford it!
Love the look, wish you would have done a longer reveal. It was hard to fully understand the elements. I enjoy learning about the finishes.
Thank you, and I hear you on the reveal. I think it’s a timing thing but also a lighting thing- maybe I’ll shoot a short or something with the dress to show the detail.
I want to see it from behind aswell.
Yes please.
Ooh I learned a new seam finishing here. I adore how you put together the garments, they must feel wonderful to wear.
Thank you! They are pretty comfortable with the smooth finishes to the inside
I am always so excited when I see your videos drop! One of the very few channels I see really blending historic and high fashion concepts.
This was so cool! The deconstruction concept really leads to innovation and it was lovely to see what you came up with. Silver tissue feels like its gonna be a want but can never have fabric for me lol
I loved watching the details of how you constructed the look. Definitely saw techniques worth applying to my own projects.
I liked the bodice shape and sleeves, but not the extra shortened back hem.
Wishing there was more footage of how the pleated skirt turned out. Since it was black and getting light contrast is a challenge...
Yep- I shortened the bodice back to a typical cropped length, but it just feels especially short for whatever reason. I have plans to try filming the skirt in better light and making a short or a reel out of it as soon as I have a chance. For now there’s a flat lay over on the gram. Thank you!!
I love it! Can we see the back lacing detail in the short??
Thank you! And sure, maybe I’ll make a short just for the lacing detail…
The choice of music is fantastic!
I hear Antonín Dvořák. Of course it's fantastic. 😅
Thanks for sharing as it was fun to watch. I loved the black skirt.
A whilebback, I got the idea of sewing some Victorian front buttoning bodies and wearing them as blouses. Just move that.project up in the queue of priorities.
Thank you! I’ve also had some corset cover-y patterns that I thought would make good blouses sitting in my “someday” pile for a while now. Someday!
I really loved your technique for creating the lacing panel!
I feel like you spoke pleat board into existence for me lol looked at my current garment in progress and immediately decided in needed a pleated ruffle
I... kinda want to make this bodice formyself now? Those seam finishes look really nice!
Chef's kiss. The sleeves, the neckline, the removeable peplum, loving this. I can't tell enough about the skirt, though. I really love watching your process. Very much looking forward to the next design. I'd love two videos!
Maybe it's the association with the witch trials in colonial America, but I always thought late 1600s fashion was the most "Gothic" era of fashion, and it's so disappointing that I can never find many patterns from that era. Thanks!
I love love love this! And yeah such an underrated time period for fashion… all your work is so well done it’s insane
The look, overall, is very cool. I am so confused about the skirt though. Like, I can't really see what the panels look like or what shape they are, and I don't really know 100% where the pleating is due to the nature of the black fabric. Is there any chance brightly-lighted pictures or line drawings could be posted to Instagram or something? If not, I totally understand, and I look forward to your future content.
Thank you! And I think you’re right about the reveal. It’s hard to get both the bodice and skirt lit properly to see all the details. I think I will shoot a short/reel and put it up to show a more detailed reveal of the look.
@@anotherdreamgonewest I deeply appreciate you!
wow, I really like the upper part, it is absolutely gorgeous. and happy to see your yet another video, please never stop filming
Very experimental! And inspirational on the construction - thanks for all the details.
Love this outfit! The bodice looks beautiful with and without the peplum. A bit difficult to see the skirt’s design details, but realize it’s hard to capture them with black fabric. I enjoy watching your construction processes and am looking forward to seeing where your ideas for this silhouette take you. Thank you!
love it 🤩
OMG I never thought of it, but the curves of a bodice do totally mirror those of Gothic arches. Huh. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Right?! Just shows that everything goes into the collective design consciousness.
You are creative . I am looking forward to seeing the next ensem .
Linen is such a beautiful fabric that looks luxurious whwn crisply ironed and homey when left natural . Its so comfy too . 🥰 To linen !
Editted my first at being first , comment that is . Im too old to be a first at first in very much . Make me wrong next gen ! Make me wrong !
Always an absorbing & instructional delight.❤
Thank you.
The 1830s and 1660s feel very similar to me
Lovely
Your choice of fabric is interesting. It has a suede or leather look. I think it’s very appropriate for this time in history. I doubt if they actually would’ve worn a suede bodice, but it just looks so cosplay to me.
I used linen for both the skirt and the bodice. Likely not what would have been used during the period (although you do occasionally see mention of linen gowns in different contexts.) it’s definitely a lot of look when the whole thing is worn together, especially with the peplum, but as separates each piece can be styled to look appropriate in a modern setting. Meh- it’s all experimentation!
Random thought; what if this bodice was done as open-front that closed via "Ganni Blouse" (S/S 2024) ties? This last spring and summer season Ganni released a very simple white puffed-sleeve blouse that was left open at the front with three wide-spaced (from each other) rows of self-ties to close. Or, running on that thought; what if one made a quilted vest, but the pattern used is not a "standard modern vest" but instead is a corset/stays/bodice pattern in a solid (non-print) fabric?
Love Ganni, and I think I know which blouse you’re referring to (super cute!) I’m looking forward to pushing all these ideas and silhouettes I’m developing, it’s all experimental!
love it!
I like your rings. Is it bronze in one hand and silver in the other? I always liked very thin rings and these are specially thin, makes me happy to see. Perhaps you still know where you got them, to recommend?
Where are you finding decent and affordable linen?
oh what a pretty way to seam things!
(I don't see the link about dress conversation you mentioned in the description?)
Thank you! And oops! I forgot to link it, thank you for pointing it out! It’s there now!
@@anotherdreamgonewest yay, thank you!
1660s menswear though 👌
But also the gowns
I especially love the neckline and sleeves
But also the menswear AND the gowns. Seriously fabulous era 👌
