The styling possibilities of this dress are truly endless. Turtleneck, puffy sleeved shift/shirt, your black&white poet dress, leggins, belts - everything will look good! 😯
It's always fun to create retro or retro inspired inspired clothes. I still make them when I can and have room for a new garment to work into my wardrobe. I enjoyed watching your creative process. I learned to sew 43 years ago from my quadriplegic aunt. She sewed at her Jerry rigged machine and I sewed at the treadle next to her. She taught me hand sewing and was a stitch counter. From her I learned how to hand stitch and not have it visible. Later on, she inspired me to do my own thing and make adjustments to suit myself. Sometimes I screwed up in epic proportions but I learned from them.
With less thick fabric, you can open the seam allowances and turn them under as if flat-felling. Also, I think you made that facing a bit harder than it needed to be... binding the edge with a narrow strip of on-grain fabric is perfectly period. Looks super cute!

LOVE THIS!
"that certain anachronistic society" made me chuckle
The stitch you with which sewed the sleeve seam in knitting is called a mattress stitch, in embroidery I have heard it called Ladder Stitch.
Ah! Ladder stitch makes sense!
Very interesting. Thank You.
This is gorgeous! I love your super fine details and attention to the stitches. I want to make one 🙏🏽💗
Thank you! It’s super comfy too!
This was really fun to watch you make and beautiful 💚🪡💚
Thank you!
I love this dress!
Thank you!!
I had never thought of dinnim for historically-ish clothes, I gess I'll look for some and make myself a summer kirtle.
Woot, denim for the win!
Awesome. I wish I could style midieval mens things into a modern wardrobe. Is it time for men to bring back tunics?
Ha, thanks, I can support some tunics!
I like it
Nice work.
Thank you!

Question... where did you get your tracing paper? Thanks.
It is “alpha numeric dotted marking paper” from Amazon
It’s better not to pull your fabric through the machine and let the feed dogs take care of it. You can mess up the stitch length that way
Yuck
