At first I thought, "I could never get away with dragging a great velvet train around the house, with 2 German Shepherds in the desert." ... and then I thought, "I would never have to sweep again!" #EleganceInHousekeeping
I have one in my mind for planning. I’m 63 today, and always coveted my mothers beautiful peignoirs in the 1960’s. Always so light, delicate and frilly. But oh-la-la . . The Edwardian ones ❤️❤️
We all need to formally, and informally, entertain, more. But swanning about in a gown all alone is also kind of the dream. When I worked in Saudi Arabia I bought half a dozen silk sarees that hadn’t been cut yet, specifically to have someone make me a glorious, sweeping, voluminous wrap/robe for swanning. Haven’t done it yet, but they’re here. Waiting. The black edging really finishes it nicely. Love the whole process and the hilarious poses at the end!
I wonder if a nice cozy flannel fabric would work for this? I adore that collar, and the straight front was the best choice! I’m also wondering how to blend an upright collar like that with a folded lapel that would taper to the waist to help trick the eye into seeing a little more of an hourglass for this older gal still working on trimming down? Ooh, and making sleeves that spilt at the shoulder and bell out and hang open and down to the hip length. No idea what those are called. Gotta go, I have some drawing to do!
First thought.. love the idea however maybe don't use "backed" velvet? As this type of fabric is typically used in upholstery and will give no structure and way too much volume. Next time regular garment velvet will be better.. draping will be more voluptuous without giving bulkiness.
It’s so pretty! Omg every time I see an Edwardian tea gown, it always makes me want to make one! Lol if only my sewing machine wasn’t busted. Also wearing fancy entertaining loungewear to couch potato is the best time to wear it.
It is possible to sew one by hand. However if you do that, you are looking at many hours of sewing. The upside to sewing by hand, however, is that you can do it while watching TV or listening to a good audiobook.
I would refer to this as leisure wear for lounging in my home. It would be wonderful to have a tea gown to wear while relaxing and working on embroidery or other needle work projects. 💖 Your tea gown is beautiful. 😊
I don’t know if it’s the collar but this robe gives me solid vampire feelings. Maybe a rebellious casual vampire who do s not want to roll with black all the time. Very well done and nice to watch!
I am so here for this right now 🤯😍 I will be following suit shortly. This turned out absolutely stunning. This eras clothing suits you so well I have a Terry cloth robe i made with turned back lapels and wide sleeves that makes me look like Father Christmas from dickens...Dickenson.... I turned a men's flannel robe into an 1940s style smoking bedjacket.... and now...on to the tea gowns!! Because covid has taught me I needed fancy loungewear
You did it! Well done! This is gorgeous! And of course, a project is never complete without a pet scan🐶🐾 Sending best wishes from Down Under 🥰💕❤️💚💖💐🌸🌺🇦🇺😎
I am thrilled to see this. I am working on a project like this a dressing / morning / tea gown to lounge in at home 🥰 so glad to see a like-minded soul
This was so relaxing to watch, I just shared a vlog of me making my first dress it’s from a 1960s pattern I’m so proud of it! You are definitely one of the sewers on here who inspired me to learn xx
Fabulous! Just *chef's kiss* to this dress!!! I'm working on my own tea gown but it's still in pre-mockup pattern stage and I have yet to buy a ton of green velvet and gold corded lace for it since I'm extra and want the tea gown to have a long train and floor length trailing sleeves.
This is so lovely and sumptuous! I had an idea for a dress heavily inspired by these kind of tea gowns (but different enough that I’ll probably have to draft a pattern, yuck) and this is wonderful inspiration! It turned out so wonderfully!!
I'm trying to figure out what year from 1600 to the 1930 that is made with thin fabric because I have hot flashes and seizures and I am on a budget and I'm 4ft 9inches tall I live in Florida
I figure what's the actual point of making things if you Don't make them Fancy. Everything turned out so lovely. Well done, you. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I am fairly certain that edwardians had very weird definitions of 'informal'. They were wearing their structured undergarments while in those floaty looking tea gowns and floaty looking anything really. Wrappers and housecoats migth be better pattern bases, I am myself searching along those lines.

Yeah I purposefully didn’t show the underside of it. It is filthy but I did get a lot of my dogs hair up off the floor 😂

Stunning! Two thumbs up! Your sewing reminds me of my mother. Beautiful!

My husband when I tell him I'm making a tea dress: "What are you going to do in a tea dress?"
Me: proceeds to share 20:05.
Beautiful! You look like Irene Adler from the Granada Sherlock Holmes. Black edging looks so elegant.
Subbed for the Samantha in the background. You’re obviously a woman with great taste!

Edwardian clothing looks good on almost everybody, even heavy people.
Love your French hat 😊
The ending is amazing! 😂
I love it I would want to make that
The sitting around on the laptop and cereal ones were the best! Perfect chillin clothes.
Im working on my own lounge dress right now. ❤ yours is stunning!
Love the gown😊
Wow, this is just beautiful! You did a great job! What an inspiration you are! 🥰💯🌸
You did it! Well done! This is gorgeous! And of course, a project is never complete without a pet scan🐶🐾 Sending best wishes from Down Under 🥰💕❤️💚💖💐🌸🌺🇦🇺😎

In the reveal, you gave me major Irene Adler vibes. (the Sherlock version)

Yep, perfect.

Beautiful ! ❤
Wow! Lovely
Neat stitches
Oh gosh now I'm curious as to what the finished outfit would look like with the belt attached over the gown
Lovely!
Wow, this turned out so beautiful.
Love this so much! 😍
Omg, this is so gorgeous and is exactly the style of tea gown I want to make, Similar to Bella Mae's, but without the front flap. Perfect!

Welp. Time to add another project to my ever growing list. I'm going to need to add some pockets. Everything i wear MUST have pockets.
This is so lovely and sumptuous! I had an idea for a dress heavily inspired by these kind of tea gowns (but different enough that I’ll probably have to draft a pattern, yuck) and this is wonderful inspiration! It turned out so wonderfully!!
I'm home bound
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO IRON THE PATTERN PIECES?!?!
Omg I absolutely love this! So beautiful!

19:55 It would be so funny to drive a husband crazy by suddenly dressing like this around the house, and then deny anything unusual was going on : )
Epic💜🇦🇺
Where can you buy the pattern for this?
