The robe a la francaise that Madam de Pompadour wears is probably my favorite style of dress to sew and to wear, and I go into details into the techniques used to make and trim a gown such as the one in this epic portrait.

Imagine being the king's mistress, but he's really in it for your personality.
My personality could NEVER
Rotfl .....Just by that comment alone, I bet it could!!!
10/10 comment
LOL! That is such a great way to put it.
Madame du Pompadour worked REALLY hard to keep Louis XV amused. Eventually, she found other women to serve the King in bed, but he would often eat his dinner with her because he enjoyed her company. She was unusually deferential and genuinely respectful to Queen Marie (which was admirable for « une Maîtresse en Titre »). She even reminded the King to pay enough attention to his Queen so that she would not feel slighted. Louis had married Marie in 1715, when he was 15 and she was about 21. Queen Marie had borne King Louis ten children in 12 years, and was apparently relieved to be able to stop bearing children.

Everyone just needs to calm down with the French corrections, she gets it!
Thank you.
To be fair, at 2:40 in the video she literally asked her French speaking viewers to correct her in the comments. That said, people need to be more polite and gracious with their corrections.
Yeah, I think generally one should check through the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned the matter then leave it at that.
FUCK the french language.
@@sarahbettany7546 agree!! No need to pile on.
"She was dressed as Diana the Huntress. He was dressed as a Shrubbery." This made me laugh out loud. So Monty Python. I love it. Also this dress is A DREAM. Bravo!
It was the ball of the clipped yew trees. Louis and five of the soldiers who acted as guards in Versailles (chosen so they were all the same height) attended as a set of topiaries. The ruse worked, and at least one lady who thought she was in with a chance of becoming the next 'maitresse en titre' spent the evening chatting up the wrong bush! Of course the king was occupied flirting with Madame de Pompadour.

I have just had such a fun time sitting down with you over lunch and hearing your journey through this project! (Pandemic perfect! I feel like I actually visited with you.) The details you gave will help so many people trying this style - note to self has been made about how long to leave for all the trim! Your work is always so lovely, and I love the little happy dance at the end!
Thank you so much Cathy!
Could you imagine if after all of this the majority of people emerged dressing or wanting to dress in historical ways and seeking out seamstresses to have their clothes made or to be taught to make their own? (I had been thinking this a few minutes before I saw your comment)
"Next time I go to Versailles wearing this" The very concept gets me verklept.
I maybe had a glass of wine (or two) during this and now I'm yelling at the tv about how fierce you look in this dress.
lol thank you!
I wish I had alcohol as a more "normal" explanation for my "OH DAMN GIRL!", but alas, that's just my reaction and why I don't watch any of these in public or at work on a lunch break unless I'm hiding in my car. 🤪
My darling, this is just beautiful!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Zack! :D Yours will be even prettier!
I love how you adapted the dress to work better in a 21st century context while still having an accurate appearance!
In 1985, I was doing a culinary internship in Garmisch Parkenkirken (quite a few miles south from Munich). I lived in the projects of Brooklyn and never been out of NYC let alone the country.
I was 18 and was convinced by friends to take the train to Munich. I reluctantly agreed to go to a museum and was mindlessly wandering around bored. I entered a gallery and turned a corner to see the 1756 Portrait of Madame de Pompadour. It was so vibrant, so beautiful. I was memerized and almost emotional. I remained sitting on a bench in front of this portrait until my friends forced me to leave to get something to eat. I have a lithograph that I purchased at the gift store. The memory of my first glance of this painting remains fresh in my mind 36 years later. I became an avid art lover since then.
You are so natural and beautiful in these gowns, I can only believe in reincarnation, you have worn them before!
You’ve done the original dressmaker proud - fabulous work, as usual!
I totally understand why you like Madame de Pompadour, because I myself also admire her. She was an interesting, super amazing person. :)
Your dress is wonderful too! It is so beautiful and you look incredibly gorgeous in it!
Oh my god........... I went through a phase in in my teens where I was going to make one (1) robe à la française someday and I ordered the same JP Ryan patterns and a bunch of taffeta, busted my butt making steel-boned stays and panniers and then... my ADHD kicked in and I stopped there. 15 years later youtube randomly recommended me this video and I can see what might have been. I'm in awe! I bet I still have the patterns in a drawer somewhere 😂
This dress is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen
I mean the final photos are just breathtaking 🔥
You say this gown makes you feel happy,, bless your silk pinking heart, it has made me feel happy sharing this. Delightful :D
Your joy at the photoshoot is truly wonderful. I enjoyed the whole video very much. The striped ribbon you created is great and the whole presentation is let's just say fantastic!
I literally cried with the photoshoot
This was so beautiful to watch. Ty for taking us with you. The photos at the end brought tears to my eyes.
Christine!!!! An absolutely breathtaking gown!
YOU LOOK STUNNING!!! You did an incredible job!
Oh this gown is so so gorgous. This gown is why the color teal exists. I've barely sewn in years but really. Your videos are so friendly approachable they make me feel like if I got back to it and practiced a bit I could do something this great!
You... painted... that mural?! That is incredible, I just thought it was a custom wallpaper or something! I love it.
Wow! SO Beautiful, you must be so proud,and you should, I have been drooling over Madame de Pompadour pictures for ever, seeing you make this dress kept me glued from beginning to end.Thank you so much for sharing kind regards
I’m not sure why this video popped up in my recommended feed? I have never watched a video by Sewstine before. However, I decided to go ahead and watch the video. With that said, I am watching this video from a completely unbiased view. Let me start off by saying, I don’t know the first thing about the clothing from the 18th century (other than women wearing dresses that made their hips look huge).
First of all, you are absolutely stunning, to say the least. I just have to say, your facial expressions at 23:16 and at 26:18 spoke volumes. The pure excitement, and joy on your face, I felt that. You made me smile. Watching you complete a dress that at the beginning you were a bit hesitant to even start, goes to show that with a little determination anyone can do anything that they put their mind to. From the bottom of my heart, I truly am so excited for you! 🧵🪡👗 🥰 You have gained a new subscriber.
The professional photos are lovely, but I adore how your face lights up at the end when you're doing your happy dance. 😃
I didn't comment on first watch last week and I'm sorry I didn't. Please know that your skills, knowledge, commitment to doing your research first, and absolute passion for your work is inspirational.
Layering on that you are the kind of representation I desperately longed for growing up as a mixed race person, I hope you know how much of a positive impact you have and certainly will continue to create by stepping into multiple white male dominated spheres and being a badass (most notably medicine and historical research and YES, your work DOES count - I even asked my Historian Mom to confirm this is the kind of valid research historical dress and education needs to start expanding and growing the field).
Please don't ever forget how much you mean to both your own generation who are thrilled to watch you excell in all that you do and the next generation who will have proof it's reasonable to believe that they can reach for their dreams, all of them. ❤
This is a phenomenal dress 😍 This era of fashion was so vibrantly colorful+floofy so seeing it come to life with your talent is fascinating! To all those nitpicking about pronounciation - stop. Stop trying to detract from the hard work and knowledge that went into creating this.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Congratulations!
Well done you !
Stunning dressmaking !
Gorgeous photography!
🌹🌷🌺💐❤️💞
Thank you so much Mumma Mea!
Fantastic job as always! The photoshoots are a cherry atop a perfect sundae! :)
The photo shoot at the end was incredible, love it! :)
I love your attitude! Seeing your dress, I want to start all those intimidating projects I’ve been putting off.
You did it!! You look STUNNING!!🌸🌸🌸//Tess
I stopped using fray check, because fray block doesn't discolor or make it hard. Good stuff. So jealous of the gown!
Wooooooow so beautiful!!!! Like real! And this sweet makeup suits you so much!
these photos are unreal! the dress is unreal!! amazing job once again.
Thank you!
I'm a hack sewer, galoomphing my way through a Harry Potter costume at present, and you are the best company ever. So enjoy your work!
The dress looks bad ass and you look AMAZING in those photos!!
Stunning! Gorgeous details!
love the dress looks absolutely stunning.
I really think this is my favourite thing you've made... just the colours, the textures, the FLOOF is all so beautiful!!!
Thank you Saffron! I don't know if this is my favorite... but it's so dang close!
That's my historical dream dress
Your gown came out so beautiful and those photos are stunning!!
The dress is PERFECT and your photographer is amazing!
Stunning! Thank you for sharing your process
I am speechless, it is beautifull
This was freaking incredible. Brava! Brava!
Wow. I love hearing the history behind the gown as it's being constructed. And it turned out so beautifully!
As a French viewer, I have to say that some French people do a fine job at butchering la langue française, so you don’t have to worry about your pronunciation. Also I love when non French speakers speak French with their own accent.
And that dress is FIERCE
So that is why I’m supposed to save my medical journals! I think I need some pinking equipment, but my staff just gave me a smoking pleater. I see a gorgeous little girl’s dress. Silk smoked with pearls and that amazing ruffle trim. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am in awe! You made this so beautifully and look STUNNING in it. What a fantasy and the fact you created it is so inspiring. Brava!!!
Beautiful dress!
This is really lush, the colours are fantastic.You look so great in every era. You would have fit in at Versailles.
Beautiful
Christine this is stunning! I'm in awe of your talent and dedication.
What a wonderful gown! I admire all the details you put into your dresses, and your patience with them!
An absolute delight. The gown, the make-up, the hair, the personality of the person in the ensemble. Your videos bring cheer to us on the other side. I love the gown color so very much. Just a little jelly of your embroidery machine.
You are like a time traveler from the court at Versailles !!!
Next time that you wear it, could you
learn the Minuet dance and perform it
with an appropriately dresses male
partner, if possible with live music by
musicians playing minuet music of that
era on repro historical instruments ??
Merci beaucoup !!
Lovely
The joy you have in the photos! Priceless!
I also love the shot of you with your smartphone... that's so random but it's like "hell yeah, they would have instagrammed their newest fashion at the court if there was the technology back then!"
It's my favourite woman too (I took her maiden name for my social media stuff ) and the dress is amazing!
Wow! I love your spirit!
Absolutely beautiful gown. I love this dress!
It's spectacular!
Wow 😯 Exquisite
I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you so much for your content.
Hey, don't worry about french errors, I think it's actually very cool that you tried and that you're interested in our culture ! Nobody's going to be mad at you for not being able to pronounce "Poisson" ;)
and sidenote, the dress was GREAT
Beautiful !!
I`ll bet that Madame De Pompadour in heaven is saying GO GIRL!!!
This is so amazing!! You are such an inspiration Christine!
This is amazing!!
That PHOTO IS SO INCREDIBLE!! You look amazing
you seem kind of criminally underappreciated. this is absolutely stunning, and interesting and cool and you have a great personality and deserve, like, 8 million subscribers!
Squeeeeeee new video! Looks great!
If it is worth doing, then it is worth doing half assed. You will learn so much! Don’t EVER wait until your skills are good enough because that is a recipe to be 60years old regretting chances not taken.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Christine! Thank you for sharing your process and thoughts and beautiful costumes with us. You inspire me so much as someone who has always wanted to try but been afraid of historical costuming... I picked a dress so I can get it wrong until I get it right!!
Amazing dress! Love your dedication. Can you talk about how you learn to sew and make patterns? Would love to learn but don't know where/how to start.
Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your skills! I learn so much from you videos, and you make such beautiful things. I am sorry that some people choose to be nasty and focus on the wrong things.
That dress is damn impressive.
Uh. Talk about a Renaissance woman! You da bomb girl!!! 🤩🥰‼️
I agree, of the new Doctors' David Tennant did a fantastic job... Tom Baker tho.. #1 for me! ( I stayed up late to watch the show on PBS when I was a kid)
The dress turned out beautiful! I'm glad you threw caution to the wind and went for it because it was really fun to watch you make it. Also, I hope this doesn't come off as rude or patronising but I just wanted to mention that "francaise" is pronounced more like "frongsays". The C is more of an S sound and the S at the end isn't silent.
This gown and the photo shoot are stunning. 😍
Amazing! It turned out so beautifully
You are so talented. I would love to see what you would do with inspiration from the 1920’s/1930’s
This is a gentle and loving suggestion to All UA-cam creators. We have all the knowledge of the world in our pocket now, literally at our fingertips. A thirty second search can find the pronunciation of ANY word in whatever language.
You have such a beautiful and creative energy. Keep shining and keep up the immaculate work! Love love love the photos!
Ahhh! Its just amazing. Thank you for sharing the creating process. Kept me company on my own project. (Crafting not sewing at the moment but still provided inspiration to keep going)
What a beautiful result!
I love this so much..so glad I found your channel. You are very inspiring. I've been stuck in such a rut and this helped kick me out of it a bit. Thank you!
Woooooow! Stunning!!!
I LOVE THAT DOCTOR WHO EPISODE
just gorgeous
All the french pronouncation check people in the comments... If you see one comment doing it just make a comment about how awsome her dress is
