I will say after wearing this, the skirt is a bit tight. For ease of wear, even though it’s a more modern feature, I would add a slit in the back so you can take bigger steps while walking

@@EmilyJeanCreates Ooh, good point. Thanks for sharing.

Oh thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos and are finding them useful! If you ever make something using one of my videos I would love to see it! Feel free to tag me on insta if that’s something you’re into 😊

Thank you so much! I was very happy with how they turned out!

Oh thank you so much! That is such a nice comment!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I love an empire waist. Some people say it's not flattering at all but I've always liked the way it looks on me :)

Thank you! It was a bit of an experiment and I’m glad you like how it turned out!

Thank you! Yes I like fashion plates for getting a sense of an entire outfit. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to accessorize but with the fashion plate you have it all right there

After having some time to wear it, if I were to do it again I would make the straps thinner. I think less bulk underneath outer layers would be more comfy and would also look nicer. Happy sewing and let me know how yours turns out!

You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!

I did follow the instructions given in the pattern for the lining. The whole section in the beginning of the video where I talk about the “underbodice” is the lining part. But only the bodice is lined. The skirt and sleeves are not. I wear a shift, stays, and petticoat underneath for silhouette and modesty.

Thanks! The scale is given in both inches and centimeters, so you can use what you prefer

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Yeah I was proud of myself for thinking to add the piping 🙂

Thank you! Yes I did wear my 1910s corset and corset cover underneath for the reveal. You can find videos on my channel for how I made those. But I also like how the dress looks with only modern underthings as well. I think I could easily wear this dress in my regular life and no one would even know it was historical.

Thank you!😊

Thank you! 😊 yeah the white collar was definitely a no go

Thank you! And interesting about the 80s vibes. I do think once you hit the 1910s fashion tends to be cyclical from there forward

@@EmilyJeanCreates agreed. Mary on young Sheldon wears one or two of those stripy big patch pocketed & big full skirted 80's dresses (if you're curious, that's the only reference I can think of). Not identical, but, a sort of similarity.

Hmmm, I’ve never watched that show but I might try a Google search

@@EmilyJeanCreates sure. Google images. I think the show starts around the late mid 80's (it's a flashback theme thing). But, if you ask Google for striped pocketed dresses from around then, you may start seeing a similarity (not identical, but, somewhat close.

Thank you!

Possibly - I’m not a historical expert, just a beginner costumer. :) But in my head I always think of 1790s as transitional Regency because it’s the start of the empire waist silhouette

Thank you! 😊

My first dress form attempt was a duct tape variety and it did not go great. It was really ugly, stiff, and wasn’t that helpful for my sewing projects

Hahaha, yes that is the fabric you used for our Ft. Yargo reenactment outfits! Only took 20 years to find another use for it 🤣

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel. That is always so nice to hear!

Thank you! I loved the skirt design too - the little pointy details are so fun. And you should definitely make an outfit if you go a third time to the exhibition! It was a neat experience getting to walk through the hallway and by the stairs in costume. Really did make it special

Thank you so much! What a compliment!

@@EmilyJeanCreates you're very welcome ☺

Thank you! The silhouette is always the hardest part to get right because it’s so hard to tell how it will look until you put the clothes on top. But then if you haven’t gotten it right, it’s much too late! And thank you about the hat - a good reminder to persevere even when projects don’t seem to be turning out well in the middle stages

Thank you so much!

That is so nice to hear! I love that you find my videos interesting and helpful despite them not being tutorial style. 😊

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! Looking forward to making even more this year!

Thank you!😊

Thank you! I’m so glad you think so! 😊

@@EmilyJeanCreates there are some wild fashion plates that I'd love to create. I'm going to add one to my sewing list

yes you so should! Sometimes it's fun to create the wacky ones and not worry about being "pretty" @@DustBunnyHerder

Thank you! I like it with the bodice on top too, even though it’s not as faithful to the fashion plate. But it is more fun to twirl with the bodice underneath! 😁

You’re very welcome!

Thank you! It really was the perfect find for this project, and was the reason I pushed it to the top of my “must make” list!

@@EmilyJeanCreateson 😊

I hope it works out for you!
