Historical Lounge Wear: Making an Edwardian Tea Gown

  • Tea gowns were all the rage in 1901, and were the perfect, elegant solution to hosting close friends at home. They were intended to be loose and comfortable, possible to put on without the help of a ladies made, and worn without a corset. Sweatpants are great, but when your quarantine wardrobe needs an upgrade, a tea gown is the way to go.

    Oh man. Oh no. I’m going to a tea house for my birthday (private reservation yay). Do I need a tea gown? No. Do I want one? ......god yes.

    Truly Victorian has a great tea gown pattern. I altered it a tiny bit so the front doesn't open and made it out of sweater fabric to give it a cozy modern feel. It has the pleats in the back and a train and I get so many compliments when I wear it out of the house. I'm planning to make another one that opens so I can make a dress to go under it.

    That is some fabulous loungewear! Thanks for the tip about this being a pretty simple project, I'm still a beginner and there's not a ton of alternatives for Victorian-inspired projects where I know I'm not going to be entirely overwhelmed.

    Well now a teagown is a the top of my one day to sew list! Who knows when I will start on that list as I don't have space, time, or money to make garments from scratch right now. Either way this is fantastic and I am in love with the style!

    Velvet is easier when hand stitching but a nightmare with machines... I made a cloak with green velvet and what may have only taken three hours took six... because my machine struggled and i resorted to hand stitching the rest. but that looks amazing!

    I love your soutache. Does your ever use braided ribbon? I used it quite a bit on 1860-1880 pieces. Braiding ribbon is very relaxing.
