Making a Taffeta Turn of the Century Skirt! | Victorian Inspired Halloween Gown
This years pumpkin project consists of two main garments - a silk taffeta skirt with lace details, and a frilly black blouse. And this year I decided to film the entire process of constructing both those pieces!
This is the first video about the project - focusing on the skirt. It isn't a very complicated garment, so I'm not sure how I turned it into a 20 minute video, but I did. I guess I'm just talented that way!
It has been *so* long since I have finished a making of video, the process of putting this together almost seemed foreign. But I really enjoyed it too, so hopefully there will be more coming soon!
At the very least, another one will be up before the end of the week. And that one will focus on the blouse that pairs with this skirt. If all goes according to plan, that video will be up tomorrow and published on the 31st. But the rough cut is an hour long and I still have the voice over to edit, so we'll see!
In the mean time, I hope you enjoy my skirt sewing adventures and that you are all doing well! :)

Fantastic. Beautiful color and I love the tassels.
Love this so much! Can not wait to see the entire outfit.
love!! this!!!! the skirt, obviously, but also the quality of the video really stood out to me, it felt very polished! i really appreciated the music choice, it seemed appropriate and... undistracting? maybe you know what i mean, where sometimes the music in a youtube video kinda takes you out of it. not the case here!! it functioned just as background music should, haha and the voiceover!!! i literally rewound the video after the first 2 seconds bc i was like "whoa, what is this??" i guess you just sounded more confident and at ease than you have in some recent videos. i hope that's how you're feeling (though I understand if it's not, what with... y'know, 2020) just lovely work all around!!! <3 <3
also omg i really hope this doesn't sound like i'm saying "this was good! (unlike your usual videos)" bc that's not how i feel at ALL, i love your videos :P but whatever you did with this video really *worked*, and i didn't want to leave that unsaid! you deserve to know!!! and the guin slideshow was top notch A+++
Sooo pretty! Well done once again. This brought delight to my morning which was otherwise populated with bad news from the world. Your work offers a wonderful escape, so thank you so much! I also love the doggo pics.
Oh I love this skirt! I can't wait to see the full reveal. You are so talented!! Thank you for sharing with us.
Love the Gwen slideshow!

Thank you very much, You really help me to pick up my needle and thread and work magic. Oh by the way I received my first postcards today and it was so nice after so long working alone at home to have some external contacts, I think I shall make a little album for these, sadly I shall have to rematch videos to find all the info... can’t wait to get on with it. once again thank you.
Orange is such a great colour <3 also love Guin's pumpkin outfit!!!
