Renaissance Dress Spotlight & Announcement - McCall's M7763
Early access, kind of? I've been so concerned with filming Sewing through the Decades videos that I've been neglecting the uploads in between those!
One of this weeks goals is getting on top of that and keeping up with my promise of early access a week in advance...not 12 hours.
Anyway! Todays video is an announcement/spotlight mashup where I talk about my newest Renaissance dress...which also happens to be my newest McCall's pattern (eep!)
Renaissance costumes are near and dear to my heart since they are what got me into historical sewing in the first place. It all started with some Sakizo artwork (anyone been following me long enough to remember that?!) and after watching The Borgias I was hooked.
This pattern comes in size 6-22 and will help fulfill any 1530's fantasies you may have!
I needed some extra footage for the video, so I have a few pictures of me in it outside...
And a whole bunch from St. Marks Church. Taking these was officially the longest amount of time I have spent in a church in my life.
It wasn't quite the 16th century Italian architecture I had hoped to find, but it was still nice, and I really appreciate them letting us photograph this there!
I'll post the full set with a coordinating blog post soon, but I feel like this is enough for now!
Next week will hopefully be the promised hat tutorial.

Your happiness and excitement,your curiosity and knowledge all make it worth watching all and I mean all your videos and vlogs etc. Thank you
Exciting!! Love the dramatic feel to it!!
Absolutely love this! I'm so glad you have made it to be wearer friendly, too! As a full figured woman, I buy patterns knowing that I'm going to have to make several alterations, but this front lacing will be sooo much easier to get in and out of at festivals!!
I really love this pattern. The dresses during the Italian renaissance were so beautiful.
"People love outtakes" Yes. Correct. We do. Smart man! Fantastic job.
Hoping to grab it this week, along with some other new McCall's releases. They weren't in stock yet, the last time I popped into the shop.
I’m always afraid of trying to make a costume but I really wanna go to a renfair this summer in costume, and I might actually try this, I’m so excited!!
Love this! Can’t wait to buy it.
it's so beautiful!
I like this pattern. Its like a big beautiful canvas just asking for beautiful things to be stuck, sewn and embroidered all over that facing, the sleeves, the hem, everything! Thanks for making it, Angela!
Beautiful! I love the color and drapery of the skirt.
Lovely! The stripes on the silk add a beautiful touch and I appreciate the effort you went to to make the pattern easier so it's accessable to sewers of all levels!
Oh, that is gorgeous! That's a pattern I'll definitely have to give a try! :-D Keep it up!
