This gown could not be more beautiful. It is entrancing.
This gown is one of the most beautiful historical recreations I’ve ever seen. I think the cream and grey taffeta combination is stunning! Wonderful job 😍😍😍
I love how you brought the new colour silk into your design, you didn't let it derail you from you project, and you skills so good. It looks as if you had chosen the two colours from the start. Indeed I thought you had the two tone look in mind from the start.
This is absolutely beautiful. I also love how meticulous you are with your sewing and markings.... makes my heart happy to know I’m not the only one who marks and sews like this!
Me, crying: she actually puts a seam allowance in her pattern, not just cutting it roughly out
This dress is a blessing for my eyes
All I could think was "that's crazy". Cause it is!! 40 hours of pleating?? Your dedication is incredible, this is true art
Wow. Just wow! What a gift of ingenuity this is, and an absolute treat to look at.
I think it really adds dimension and life to have those three shades complimenting each other! And the tiny grey line along the fringe really does a lot to tie it together, in my opinion. It's small details like that, that really makes a gown something special. It would still look nice without, but it is just one of those perfect little touches, also the rose in front, that makes a world of a difference!
So beautiful!
thank you so much :D
Wonderful video for a couple of reasons:
1. You did "historically accurate techniques" when it mattered but used modern techniques to make it easier for yourself. (Not everybody has the time, patience, & resources to make historically accurate dresses using historically accurate techniques.)
2. You showed beautifully how to finish a project when it turns out a lot more fabric is needed than the design/pattern gave you the impression you needed. I am so grateful you didn't scrap this project or worse not upload these video because you ran out of fabric & couldn't find the absolutely perfect color/fabric content match to your original fabric. This gives hope to all viewers that making the mistake of "buying too little fabric" or "there isn't enough of the fabric you fell in love with at fabric store" doesn't mean you have to scrap your project that you spent untold hours to get to the point where your nightmare becomes reality... you don't have enough fabric to finish or to add all the desired trim. (I bet there's only a relative few seamstresses who can look at a Victorian dress & estimate an amount of fabric that is correct or slightly over what will be needed to make it.)

What a joy to watch you work! Your meticulous attention to detail was reflected in the stunning result. Just beautiful, both the gown and its wearer. Congratulations 💕
this is amazing! I LOVE the two-tone beige. don't think for a minute that the darker strip of trim you added afterwards was barely noticeable/not worth it - it really did bring it all together. this was such a treat to watch 🌞
Very beautiful dress and work, the kitten just is the cherry on top~~
This was super informative and yet so soothing! 💌 Amazing results ✨ Thank you for your beautiful work and for the opportunity to witness your inspiring journey 🙏
This is INCREDIBLE! Your work is immaculate and so precise. You deserve way more views!
This is *so*. *Gorgeous*. You look like you just stepped off a fashion plate of the era!!
I really enjoyed following the progress on this gown. I won't have done the piping around the fringe as you did. It really ties it all together. Often the subtle details are what creates a wow factor. Although many will not notice this detail, the mind creates a connection. Without it, most would find it jarring but can't say why. All that said, I love being a detail freak.
Wow, this was amazing!! It is unbelievable the amount of work and detail! Every single step is so time consuming...I am thinking of making a Victorian mourning gown. Congratulations!
Brilliant! You are very talented. You make me want to start sewing again.
This dress is so gorgeous, and you look wonderful in it! You put so much detail and care into the making of it. I'm so glad that I was directed to your channel!
Just stunning! The different coloured pleated trims really make the dress pop. Another happy accident 😊
Your dress is so splendid and glorious!
Thank you for sharing your sewing process, this dress is stunning, amazing work!
I’m in awe of your skill. Absolutely stunning 🤩
I love this dress so much! Thank you for sharing the making process!
The gown is beautiful and so elegant. I always wonder how you know how much fabric to buy. You look so beautiful in the gown too.
I can't sew a button on; one of the many reasons I miss my Mom! But, however YT brought this to my attention, I'm glad they did. You've done an amazing thing, with amazing skill. Everyone would love to have someone like you Claire, in their circle of life. I guess we sort of do now, at least digitally.
As for the 500 steps; I have always liked this saying, and it seems appropriate here: 一步一个脚印 ( Every step makes a footprint.)
such a gorgeous gown and the subtle variation in color is perfect
Wow! Amazingly beautiful - and you look gorgeous in it!
Just an amazingly beautiful gown! I hope you are able to wear it many times! Enjoy!
The skill and sheer beauty of all this is incredible, well done!
I love your work ! What a dress !
Just found you! Thank you for such beautiful & calming video. I’m making my first corset too!
Absolutely fantastic! Love watching the journey and end result. Are you doing the costumes for fun or as part of a course? The library was a perfect colour match with the dress! Looking forward to the next project but meanwhile, WELL DONE!
Totally for fun :D
@@clairezhangyx awesome..although bet you didn't say that when you were pleat making!

It must have been super frustrating to run out of fabric and spend so long trying to find a match but the contrast you ended up with is really beautiful!

0:45 If you accidentally iron off the wrong line, putting something cold on it will make the line will come back.

Well the dress looks absolutely beautiful and you look absolutely beautiful in the dress. We just need to see a smile when you're in the dress. I would have laughed as some guy had showed up in a Victorian suit the same day as you showed up in the Victorian dress that would have been pretty awesome.
Why are we still asking women to smile? It’s so condescending !
@@kelseywetherington4174 either you're trolling me or you're stupid. Don't you realize how powerful a smile is how it shows the radiance of the eyes and the power of the heart. You're the condescending one maybe you should look in the mirror and practice doing a little bit more.
Well I think she’s perfectly fine the way she is. Besides, have you seen Victorian portraits or photographs with a big smiley face? Their expressions were pretty neutral comparing to our selfies nowadays.
@@xiaoyedu6168 I think I am talking to the very overly sensitive internet trolls. The idea was the smile also flashes light onto aspects of the smile and dress. Good grief go look at other women who smile in a dress.
Women already smile more than men do, and too often there's so little respect for our personhood and actual wellbeing that the smile winds up being fake and forced. Start doing more to make the world a better place, and you won’t have to ask women to smile. You’ll see more than enough genuine ones on men and women alike.
Youtuve I feel ugly anyways
