It’s very trendy

It’s so beautiful!!! I hate the feeling of shirring on my back so I think I’ll give this a go. I’ve been loving the son de fleur dresses which yours remind me of. I don’t think it looks frumpy but you could always add a fake placket and buttons to the front for a more modern look.

All the feels...

I like the dresss, looks comfortable 😻 the changes you made at the end improved the fit and yes definitely less frumpy. interesting shirring technique, I think I will try it. I have two grandchildren I can try it out on first 😊 Have you thought about putting a couple large folding tables together for a cutting/sewing table. Have one set up and pull the other out when you need a bigger surface, if you have the room of corse. I have my grandfathers old office desk. It’s not quite big enough for my large cutting mat 58x25in so I put a small extension on the back and I have two square sewing machine cabinets positioned on the end. It works 🤷🏼‍♀️ Idea for an ironing surface. I picked up an old dresser years ago. The drawers were missing but it was sturdy so I put it in the back of the truck🤭 it is waist high and a bit over four feet long. Cleaned and painted it, a friend cut boards for shelves inside. I padded the top and stapled a cover on it and it works wonderfully as a large ironing board and storage. We used leftover paint and wood scraps so the only cost was the padding. Just some ideas.

ended up really beautiful! your explanations were quite clear and easy to follow :)

This is super cute and inspiring. I feel your table space struggles. I'm so glad to see another upload 💖

I love this! Definitely going on my list for things to try! X

Beautiful princess seams on you, wowow I also love a hem ruffle 🥰 I think the altered sleeves were a great choice, the elastic at the end of the sleeve totally removes the costume look to me and is probably more wearable too

I don't feel it's frumpy, a bit cottage core maybe but that is a good thing usually. The finished dress should be very comfy and that is what counts.

Beautiful work ❤ beautiful on you 🌺

Not frumpy at all, super cute

Pretty easy to watch video, interesting and informative enough that my ADHD ass didn't want to click away. Commenting for the algorithm!

You did all this by hand?? 😯wow! Ur a pro!

❤❤❤❤❤

Judith was raped by two men, right.? I think Judith looked better in blue too. You are too hard on yourself, I think

I was surprised you didn't mention that courtesans could remove their skirts in the evening

Have you thought about trying The Stitchery's Split-Side Pants? She takes the basic concept of the Coquelicot skirt lace-up-and-tie and figures out how to apply it to pants. Could be worth exploring, I am also pear shaped and have been curious to try them. (I'd link but I fear my comment being eaten by youtube)

I just want to tell you how much this video has helped me Its very soothing. I love that your not super obnoxiously bubbly like most creators they come off very fake. Also the bit where you talked about how your brain sees it coming together really encouraged me for when I struggle with Patterns. But when you talked about needing a simple win after making a big mistake and not knowing how to fix the mistake you made almost makes me cry, then. It spoke to me in my current life situation and It speakes to my heart about so much more than just sewing. My life is so messy rn and this is how I feel about sewing, it's easy and I can do it and I need a simple win everyday of sewing just a little. At first it felt like I was wasting my time. I should be cleaning or folding laundry or cooking but then I realized how much it soothes my soul.

They are lovely trousers ❤

Dirndl hooks…. GENIUS!!! 🤯💕

I love your style. And I really like how the pants look on you, I would have never thought it´s "unflattering" if you didn´t say anything, on the contrary, I do like the pleading on the front

It's so great to find a sewing youtuber with a similar body shape to mine, and this skirt is ADORABLE! Love a natural fiber flowy summer skirt. And, bonus, your cat looks just like mine!😁

Love the stripes. I'd like to get better at pockets of that style

The stripes are great. Love the horizontal pocket detail. Looks amazing and cool.

Very cute fluffy helpers, and a nice skirt too

Beautiful , love stripes 😍

excellent cat break, and good call on the vertical stripes

CUTE! Omg what a great fix. I have the shoulder problem as well and I am definitely a culprit of the shoulder strap pinch and fold haha.

I think medieval people would be disgusted with modern fashion, it's lack of detail, lack of imagination, looking like underwear....and lack of texture....

Something I do for my full bust and belly is make different sizes for the front and back. Maybe you could try that? Make a smaller size for your front and a larger size for your booty? Then the legs might not turn out so large 🤷‍♀️

Good vedio, I like the braided trim. Just curious, I don't recall seeing O-ring type belts in any 12th century norman tapestries or manuscripts, did I miss something?

I was frustrated with the fit of purchased pants and went and self-drafted a pair of wide-legged back-elasticated trousers (my booty is my fit challenge) Now I love having pants that fit!

I second the rec for Muna and Broad. I've had some good luck with their pants, even though they fit towards more apple than me - I've made the Birchgrove pants and the Noice jeans. I did have to grade between sizes to get the waist to fit for the jeans, and could maybe have taken them in even more. For the Birchgrove pants I just cranked down the elastic and they look pretty good. I'm doing another run on the Birchgrove right now, but giving the top down, center out method a try to see if I can get them even better. I haven't actually seen the results yet so I'm not sure I can recommend, but @thecrookedhem has a really excellent tutorial series that I'm following and it looks really promising and pleasantly body neutral.

I totally get it about fitting large hips and a smaller waist. I also have large thighs. I'm a pants hater for a lot of the very same reasons as you were. Also, I'm old and I often have a hard time walking. So when I have one of those times when I need to rush to the bathroom, lifting skirts take less time than trying to pull down pants. Do you follow Charlie @thestitchery? She has gotten slightly well known for her split side skirts. She had been asked if she had tried her technique on pants, so she decided to see if the technique would work with pants. She made a video about her experiments. Be aware that Charlie doesn't actually draft patterns, so she has none to sell. She simply "wings it." Her videos are not really tutorials, but she does tell you what she's doing as she's doing it. I don't know if that would interest you, but it's a suggestion.

Love the comparison of pattern companies, very informative. For a better waist fit: try zipper (I prefer mine in the back) or drawstring + elastication. I find that gives me the best results for having fit as well as comfort :)

Have you seen 18th century petticoats with hip openings instead of flys? I think you could use the same technique with pants.

yay feeling powerful due to enormous pants!

I also have a big difference between my waist and hips (along with a belly and big thighs). Doing a fly and zip is exactly what I do, as someone with 3-4 size difference between my waist and hips. I've tried the Jackie trousers by By Hand London and wasn't a fan. My tried and true is the Muna and Broad Noice Jeans that I simplify and make pants from (so sans rivets and top stitching, etc). Everything I have read in my research for getting the perfect pants fit has mentioned adding a zip or fly will be the best way to get a good fit for my waist and hip difference. With my specific shape, I have a smaller waist and then a short dramatic flair to the fullness of my hips. For that, I always add short and wide darts to the back. I also use a curved back waistband as well. The last change I make is extending the crotch curve by half an inch. (Side note, I tried Top Down Center Out but it did not work for my body shape and size).

I hate wearing trousers or pants, and have not owned any for at least ten years.

I haven't made any Sewlibrated pants but what I have made has fantastic assembly instructions. Being built like a triangle definitely makes me avoid sewing pants at all costs. 😅

I don't hate pants unless they don't fit, which is most off the rack ones. I've found the cashmerette calder pants to be an amazing pattern. I've made both the pants and shorts, though i made mine Bermudas for personal comfort. If anyone is looking for a curvy pattern company i recommend them.

I do not HATE pants, but I highly prefer skirts and dresses; they are so much easier to buy for me than pants are…
