Gorgeous, as always! Now all you need is Gainesborough and a small lapdog.
You look just like Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, in this outfit. And the false rump is absolutely adorable! As if you can't already tell, I love period clothing that puts some emphasis on the bum.
I loved watching this! That brocade fabric is gorgeous. I can't sew to save my life and I'm impressed by those who can do it well and create beautiful garments like this, it's just fascinating. You do so much by hand, too.
I’m sure the majority of the gowns are made to be sold or commissioned, but I would love to see a series of children’s clothes made throughout history. Not sure how easy they would be to sell but I think it would be absolutely fascinating.
For most of the history kids clothing was miniature version of adult clothing!
priorattire I thought it might be, just thinking about little kids all dressed up would be so darn precious and fun! Love the work you do, everything you make is fantastic!
Love it!! So beautiful, and absolutely fascinating to see not only the historical design but also historical construction methods!
Another divine piece from Prior attire. You really are a skilled magical seamstress.x
I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to make a new video and VIOLA! The dress is so lovely and you look wonderful as always. And great choice is music! But then, one cannot go wrong with Mozart!
...ah, such a beautiful Anglaise, Milady! You are very fortunate to be blessed with such a gifted seamstress! 👏
I am the seamstress....?
@@priorattire I know! :-D It was addressed to you when you are wearing this beautiful gown… imagine another Lady you meet in the park... reenactment… ;-)
I'm very impressed that you have a cat assistant. Mine only likes helping with yarn projects.
You make it look so effortless....I'm excited to try this myself, 'how hard can it be?' Then I remember how little practice I have lol 😅
You are absolutely right- the techniques presented are very simple, there are no complicated stitches etc- and the ease comes from years of practice! My first polonaise took me forever and the stitches were very wonky:-))
@@priorattire I've followed your portfolio for some time, but I've only really gotten the courage/gumption to try and recreate my favorite pieces from history recently. Your dressing series is so helpful, and videos like this are a gold mine of inspiration, so thank you!
Another beautiful creation Izabela! Loved the colour and pattern of the silk brocade
Yesterday I tried going clothes shopping and saw NOTHING I liked. But I watch videos like yours and think, "I want that, and that, and ooh, I wish I had one of those, and---!" I'm hopeless.
I love it when the fur babies 'help'.😉
Thank you. All my sewing fantasies in one place. I love the patterns of fashion books, I've managed to make one dress from one, but currently my kids get in the way of sewing for myself
Your talent is incredible! Such a beautiful garment & watching you sew is fascinating. Thank you for your videos.
I truly admire your patience! Hand sewing is one of my least favorite thing to do, but let me loose on my sewing machine and I'll go crazy! I love sewing, but in truth many of these old world fashions are much more easily sewn by hand!
So much work! I wish I could come to see your shop but I'm from france.. one day maybe!
I have an online shop only/ open worldwide!
@@priorattire oh I know I like it very much, I just wanted to meet you :) ^^
I LOVE your costumes and you are astonishing !
I am so happy you made this video at the time you did! I'm working on this type of gown myself (with a few alterations) and your video was just the right motivation I needed to continue sewing my gown! Amazing dress, as always :)
Wonderful demonstration I had always wondered how they made strong seams with just needle and thread. Again wonderful show
it's so ...!!!! ♥♥♥!!! i can't belive it only took 50 hours, i know it's a lot of time, but it's so much handstitching!
i just got The Victorian Dressmaker book last week, it's lovely, can't wait to try something :-)))
This is impressive and also gives me even more of an appreciation for sewing machines! I definitely don't have the patience for hand sewing, beautiful work!
You honored a noble fabric.
Lovely! So much skill and patience 💜
Your gown came out really pretty! I can't wait to see the "getting dressed" video that goes with it! :D
I see Merlin was supervising again, he makes working for 50 hours sow easy!
You should make a video on day dresses vs evening gowns!
Que paciencia, dedicación y digno de admirar, bello, me encanto.
What a great an inspirational video again! Thank you so much. Actually I was looking into 18th century dresses lately and for years its my dream to make myself one. However Im still a little afraid of making stays. I really want to make some, but Im so undecided wheter I should get a pattern (like the simplicity american duchess one) or following the pattern guide from one of my dressmaking books... would you have any suggestions as an expert of sewing historical clothes? Thank you so so incredibly much, keep up the great work
Thank you so much for making this video. Very detailed! I feel a million times more confident tackling this JP Ryan pattern.
I didn’t use any commercial pattern. I draft my patterns myself.
You are so talented!
You are incredible!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is incredible!
hooooo my gosh thats awesome job looks fantastic congrats.....
It’s amazing! Lovely gown😍
very, very beautiful !!!! you are super!
Is a behind the needle stitch the same as a back stitch?
Yes
I had a perfectly fitting lining. Then I attached it to the main fabric of the bodice and suddenly there's gaping everywhere. So far I've spent around three hours sewing all parts of the bodice together and eight or ten hours troubleshooting - and I'm only just beginning.
I think the issue is that I have a small bust, so if I pull the fabric closer together to lie flat at the bust, it will gape at the shoulders and crease in the waist. So I think I need to stitch the top part of the outer back seams a little more tightly to make sure I flatten the material at the bust without effecting the rest.
So when will be seeing Audible as a sponsor of this channel? Seems tailor made to you. ;>
Exquisite work, wow
"Behind the needle stitch - is that like back stitch?
I know it as backstitch and I Iearnt to sew in the UK. It could be some stitches have regional names.
In the US its called a running back stitch .
@@ah5721 it looks more like a prickstitch to me 😮
Lovely
😳.. hand-sewn.. omG 💕.. the first precursor of the sewing mashine was constructed 1755 by Charles Weisenthal (British patent).. that's my excuse if I use the sewing machine.. if I see you sewing all this by hand.. I'm a bit of ashamed being such a lazy bone.. . 😔
Dat hat doe!
Do you make all of your historical clothes? If not where do you buy them?
Morgan Lyons she makes everything. shes a historical dressmaker.
You can actually buy things from her. if you check the description, you can go to her website and check out her catalogue
Www. Priorattire.co.uk
The mark of an expert...you watch it and think, "That looks easy!" Then, you try it. Bad words result. Not easy. Maybe it's your fuzzy supervisor.
It is simple and easy- provided you practice! That’s the only difference...
How do you know these pieces are historically accurate?
Ivan J. Conway a lot of research. I study fashion and these are 10000000 percent accurate
@@josephodell4830 sufficient odds I’d say 👍
No thimble? Ouch!
Thimble used occasionally on this project/ but silk so easy to sew, it własny needed!
Why would anyone dislike this? Crazy people out there, populating the Earth.....
Stunning dress, beautifully crafted!
As if I wasn't already so incredibly impressed by your work, this was a huge eye opener. Respect to you. My grandmother was a seamstress and I never really appreciated what she could do. Shame I didn't ask her to teach me! I've never picked up a needle but watch in awe ;)
Miss Prior Attire!
I spent most of my working years sewing, the last 18 years in a small tailoring shop where my boss, his dad, and I worked on anything that would go in a machine, and quite a bit of stuff that just had to be hand sewn, there was just no other way, or it was just truly the easiest thing to do. Aside from mens suits, and only some parts, the only time we would see things even close to made with the techniques you've shown here, we would usually say no, just because they were so old, when you opened them up, you could grow things in what fell out!
So it's been a real treat for me to see this video, to see a garment made entirely by hand. Too bad it's not done anymore in this throw-away time. People just don't realize the feel of a real quality garment, and how much more flattering they are to most body types. It should also be mentioned that when you do this amount of work, you are not going to use cheap fabrics, and it all goes to how wonderful this type of garment is. No wonder you enjoy wearing them!
Thanks for sharing, maybe it will inspire a new generation to take up this worthwhile art.
This was fantastic! You always make it look so easy! This is got to be one of my favorite gowns you've made so far. And the fabric Choice was gorgeous!
I too love your outfits and am blown away that you sew them by hand! Did you go to college to learn fashion, style or learn as apprentice to a tailor? All of what you do drives 1000s of questions. Fabrics chosen, threads, special shops for these items as well as trims etc.? I could go on for hours! Could you give us a glimpse into how a young modern woman has learned this wonderful skill?
I think my favorite part of all of your videos is the passion you put into something that is an art. With all the ready to wear stuff these days, it's incredible to see what you do. You clearly know your craft and I appreciate very much your sharing it on here. Thank you.
I chuckled when I read the part about pleating being more difficult and eliciting curse words when you were less experienced. My husband’s grandfather was a carpenter and builder. He was also what my dad called a “shade tree mechanic” (something that modern cars with the expansive electronics has made impossible). When he’d get frustrated, he’d curse. Grandma used to tell hubby and his siblings that Grandpa was “blessing” his work. 😂
"blessing his work"! I'm dieing over here! 😂
Oh!!! You, beautiful lady, always surprise me with the magnificent job and dedication you pour into your projects.
I love the colour, the details and how beautiful it looks on you! You and your hubby look so... Regal and elegant.
😉👌
It's always a pleasure seeing your videos.
Lots of love foulr you and your beloved ones from México.
Before the invention of the sewing machine ...all clothing was constructed in this manner. Alterations must have been a nightmare when a lady gained or lost weight....hence the use of pleats was a necessary evil in construction techniques....I had often wondered about the construction of those tight bodices and the plight of the dressmakers of yesteryear in keeping ladies attired in their "tailor made" dresses. Thank you for this video.
Maybe that's why people took walks!
The clothes were often adjustable in a sense. Had to be for pregnancy in particular.
So much patience and talented sewing to create a gorgeous gown-Love!!!☺️👗💕😻
Done all by hand, and in about 50 hours. Wow...just... _wow_
Such an inspiration! My Great Grandmother sewed all my Gammy's little fancy dresses by hand. Gammy said her needle hand was a blur and the stitches so tiny you could hardly see them. However, she used a thimble and I'm amazed that you're able to manage without one. My hand sewing was annointed with blood, sweat and tears but even so, much more satisfying that fighting the machine.
The serious hand seamer developed callus as their thimble...
I do use a thimble quite a lot- here silk was so easy to work with it wasn’t needed!
And yes, that too
You do amazing work, I never tire watching you. I struggle sewing a button back on.
By hand??😱
as shown...
Very well done! I love the fact that you did this by hand, very interesting to see it documented. Also, does anybody else think that she resembles a young Christina Ricci?
I don't sew a stitch, and yet I'm fascinated by the whole process of creating these beautiful garments. I also love the videos where you dress in a certain period and show the whole process. Makes dressing in jeans and t-shirts look downright lazy!
Utterly gorgeous and so fascinating to see the project in the making stages. It makes me want to take up sewing to someday be at this level.
Made by hand hand stitched I think my spirit struggled to escape my body for a second 👻 ! Your pleats and stitching is esquisite! I can't imagine myself talking that on ! Lots of "bad words" would be used too 😝if I attempted this ! I'm still straight hand stitching a cathedral window squares in 9 years later 🙈
In comparison, how long were dresses sewn during the Regency era compared to the 18th century? I had this assumption that since Regency dresses were made of cotton or linen and had simple decorations, I would assume that they took less time to make.
Also, you look like as if you're from a Gainsborough painting.
I am no needlewoman, though I have made a couple of skirts, all hand sewn. It is easy to forget that not so long ago, if someone wanted new clothes, they had to make it themselves rather than just buying it off the peg. You need a lot of patience and considerable dexterity for all kinds of needlework, and though I have the former, I do not have the latter ( I might just as well be endowed with sausages rather than fingers for all the dexterity I have!) So I take my hat off to anyone who has both the skill and patience to make not just ordinary clothes, but the clothing people once wore.
I can’t sew for what’s worth, but I love watching your “sewing process” videos (because they bring back memories of when I watched my grandmum sew)....and I have a question: how do you decide when to sew by hand and when to use the sewing machine? Which factors does that depend from? I imagine one factor is the fabric, but are there any others? Thank you. 🥰😘
I tend to see stuff for me by hand, using machine for the eras when it was used. When I am working on customers stuff- up to them! Off the leg items mostly by machine so that they are affordable
priorattire Thank you for the reply. 😃
Gorgeous! or is it Georgeouse? come on it's Georgian. LOL!
What a labor of love! Your artistry AND your patience are remarkable. I am barely adequate with a sewing machine, but I enjoy your videos more than you imagine. Thank you for sharing.
I would LOVE more process videos on hand stitching like this! I'm interested in both period pieces and making Japanese Lolita fashion (a lot of which is inspired by Victorian and Rococo designs...), but machine sewing amps up my anxiety by a million. I have some very basic knowledge of hand sewing, and I'm currently trying to make a cut-sew blouse, but seeing someone hand sewing entire gowns would be both very informative and a giant confidence boost!
I recently did my first historic garment set, meaning the underclothes, dress, skirt, the whole works. It was a massive pain even using my machine! I have only respect and awe that you have the patience to do the whole shebang by hand.
Wonderful! Especially the fabric colour and patterns of the fabric.. Stunning.. The dedicated work.. my deepest respect! 🤗
How much time do you usually spend on altering a pattern and mock-ups for gowns such as these?
I really like how the lining is used as a base for the gown instead of 'just' an inside finish 😁
To much- i draft patterns myself so no bored to alter much!
Love this! Will you be making more the-making-of-the-dress videos? I specially loved that you managed to make it short, yet showed and explained every single step of the way. Also, Merlin did a very good job supervising you, the dress turned out lovely.
Magnificent! I couldn't handstitch a straight line to save my life, I'm afraid. Love the colours you chose; they suit your complexion beautifully.
In America, we call it a backstitch. That was one of the first stitches I learnt to do. Such a pity they don't offer home ec in schools here any longer. Cooking and sewing are very good things to know. I love to cook, and I don't mind sewing too much, lol.
Did I ever tell you? My great granduncle was none other than Mad Kaiser Bill himself! So I am distantly related to your Royal Family. Your Queen Victoria is my 4 times great-grandmother. Pretty weird, huh?
@@charachoppel3116 tried that. I still couldn't do it, lol!
You must be very proud of your creations Darling, and I don't blame you. Each piece is like a work of art and must be worth a fortune. Should be worth a fortune anyway, certainly, something like this.
My Best. Out.
piekna robota, msama szyje i wiem ile pracy kosztuje reczne szycie.....podziwiam ciebie i te krawcowe co szyly takie sukienki....
You make this look all sew easy
Bless your hands and eyesight!
Both in good form!
Beautiful! You look like you just stepped out of a painting. Would a robe like this have been made by one person? A dressmaker I assume. Or would they have had assistants or apprentices to help? Would they have been women or men?
My brain is definitely for training animals, not sewing. You have a gift for this as I cried somewhere at the first pleats from being overwhelmed at that work! 😂
My God, so perfect 😍 all handsewed 😮
Wow! That is amazing! I would never have enough patience to sew that big of a project by hand!
I KNEW IT! YOUR A PLEATING MASOCHIST!
Absolutely gorgeous. Is the bodice boned at all? It lies so beautifully flat in the front.
It is not, but can be!
The outfit and workwomaship is awesome. And to use a term from the 60's, everything, including the marvelous hat, is Boss💖👒✂
An impressive display of skill. But, I'm not quite ready to give up my sewing machine.
Even though I am not sewing or anything, I love watching those kind of videos, especially from your channel. Keep up with good work!
Such a lot of work, but so worth it. I love doing things by hand too, so relaxing.
I always go to my happy place when you post a vid!
oh wow...this is sooo bad ass. i love seeing someone making something with their own hands- what a beautiful craft to share. thank you
I feel like about every 3-4 months I feel the need to watch all the videos again. They're always fascinating no matter how many times I watch, so I binge them regularly haha. Thank you for the gift of these videos 💙
A thing of beauty and a joy to watch. Thank you!
You must be a goddess or something.
MERLIN IS A GOOD BOY SKSDFMGF-
OMG! Did you say this dress took 50 hours to sew??? You must have the patience of a Saint! I'd be sewing it on my sewing machine, never mind hand sewing that dress! You are amazing! ~Janet in Canada
50 hours is such a little time for the amount of work involved
I love me a robe a l'anglaise but I'd take forever hand sewing one. Yours looks so gorgeous!! (And gives me hopes for my pleating)
Absolutely love to relax with your channel get inspiration for smaller projects and listen to the music you are blessed with a unique ability to make it all come together so beautifully!🌹
