Making a 1630s Satin Gown
It's been a little while since I've had anything early access to share! This video is going up in a few hours so it's not very early access...but it's something!
This video is all about making the dress that is part of my Christmas Costume for this year. I say part, because it's intended to be worn with a velvet robe (the making of video about that is coming very soon).
This was the longest making of video I've ever had to edit - almost 20 hours of raw footage had to be cut down. The rough cut (made before scripting and filming the voice over) was still over an hour long. A good eight hours of work were put into this to get it finished yesterday!
But it's here! I hope you enjoy it. And that you have a wonderful holiday!

I showed this video to my grandmother and she was flabbergasted on how beautiful the dress was, and how much detail went into it!
Such a beautiful gown, even with spiteful sleeves. I cracked up several times during this video...so good
What a great video! I love how you add more and more background information, design thoughts and fabrication knowledge to your video. It’s clear that you invest lots of time in these projects, and that your are becoming quite the expert!
This is STUNNING! I love the colors and the fabric, your details are always incredible!
"Nature's thimble" lol that made me snort coffee, thank you XD
So glad you did the jewels they look awesome 😎
Beautiful! So regal! Thank you for including the difficult bits and how you made corrections, very useful information to new sewists.
this gown is absolutely glorious, btw--i love everything about it, including if not especially the green jewel trim. <3
i had an idea for your next-year holiday gown: another life-size barbie dress! https://www.target.com/p/barbie-2019-holiday-doll-blonde-curls-with-red-38-white-gown/-/A-76152542?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&CPNG=PLA_Toys%2BShopping_Local&adgroup=SC_Toys&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9007584&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&ds_rl=1246978&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8rbg7_HO5gIVS4FaBR28bwpBEAQYASABEgJ6s_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
WOW!!! I was so excited to get a notification of your new content. It’s like a Christmas present! But this dress is amazing... I cannot believe the amount of work put into it. It’s truly awesome.
Hurray. Thanks and Merry Christmas, Angela
EEEEEeeeee!!!! I just got all caught up on the videos and was resigned to rewatching or just waiting and woke up to this. <3 I am excited!
I think this might be the prettiest thing you’ve ever made!
