Absolutely beautiful. I admire your work immensely. I am currently working on a wardrobe from the 1840s and this video really helps me! I especially love the silhouette that you achieved, as I am still researching my undergarments and determining which is best to get the silhouette I want... keep up the wonderful work! And I look forward to your next video!
Thank you so much! I would say that the silhouette is one of the most important parts, so good luck with that :) Feel free to message me on Instagram if you need any help ❤️
Gorgeous! Love all the details on your dress! Your pockets and petticoats were gorgeous too! Will you be posting videos of the construction? Please say yes!!!
Thank you so much! I would love to, but alas, this dress is sold to the museum with all the undergarments. But I'll make videos about constructing corded and plain petticoats as well as the pockets in the future!
Can you reveal your secrets to make your corded petticoat? Are there 1 or two panels? How man rows of cording and how many per row? I love the 1840s and I really want to duplicate your sillhouette! Thanks for any tips!
Sorry I didn't answer earlier! It's made from 2 long panels folded together to create the rows for the cording. There's 24 rows total that go in groups like this (from bottom to the top) 5,5,5,3,3,3. I really recommend this video by American Duchess, it's incredibly helpful - ua-cam.com/video/PE4M6D2F6MY/v-deo.html
I have to disagree. Unlike modern clothes, Victorian clothing is all about illusion and I honestly think larger woman look just as good, if not better, in these silhouettes because of the bigger margin for more extreme shapes depending on how "squishy" you are.
I absolutely agree with you! I miss the times I was more squishy, I had so much more flesh to work with and the end result was a lot more extreme because of the proportions.
@@trulytart3534 yes exactly! It didn’t matter what your body size or shape was because you simply put on the type of padding you needed to achieve the look you wanted. That’s one reason there were fewer body image issues back then. There’s something incredibly freeing about that.
In 1838 Workwoman's Guide it's called a bustle. You can see the description here: archive.org/details/workwomansguide00workgoog/page/n98/ And the diagram is here: archive.org/details/workwomansguide00workgoog/page/n346/ Hope it helps!

You can definitely tell how much work went into it!
I miss is Gaqpe Maizz Waret
You made it very beautifully. Is it very warm with all the petticoats?
Thank you! I thought it would be warm, but it's not. Maybe because the quilted petticoat doesn't get close to my legs)

Beautiful i noticed you had on pockets were there slits for them? Oh to be small enough to carry this off gorgeous
Thank you! Yes, these slits hidden in the skirt.

What is the correct term for the peplum-like garment tied around the corset before the quilted petticoat is put on? How is it made?
