MAKING CHATEAU LOUNGEWEAR!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Michael and I have a habit of tackling weird and wonderful projects together, and on his last visit we decided to make ourselves loungewear based on 18th century fashions! He explored the construction of men's 'banyans' - loose, informal robes based on kimonos, and I created a nightgown, which was inspired by a design of Christian Dior...
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰

Stephanie- you might enjoy the UA-cam channels "Bernadette Banner" and "Angela Clayton" They make historic clothing on their channels.
I watch them too
@@vintagemoss9578 Me too!
I love Bernadette’s projects.
That's too funny you recommended them, because I've been following them both since they started their channels, and is how I found this one, through recommendations!
Apparently the algorithm has our interests pegged. I have been following BB for a long time, too, along with Cathy Hay, Karolina Zebrowska, and Rachel Maksy. Ah, costube!
Oh my goodness you two are so creative, just a joy to watch xx
Stephanie, I Loved Your Dress Video,I reallllly loved It With The Empire Waist. 😘🙏👍❤❤❤
Absolutely adorable!!
Stephanie, I must try this myself! So feminine! 🏰🎀
Adorable! Vous et vos créations 🥼👘
Love it. I agree, it would be perfect if you gathered your boudoir dress in the front around your waist.
No sleeves added? But it's great
I love the Michael episodes.
We here at Rizzoli LOVE THIS VIDEO! So glad you love the book FASHION AND VERSAILLES, and found it to be as inspiring as we did!
I have many " Coffee Table" books by your publishing house. Sometimes, I feel like I need a 12 step program due to my "obsession" with Rizzoli books!!!!
You both are a great influence on each other!!! What a duo; you both are a breath of fresh air and marvellous historians and educators. ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
I just found this episode and laughed out loud as I own 8 banyans and wear them daily in the house.
Well I guess I will get my sewing machine out, my French Grandmere gave it to me for high school graduation in 1965 and it still works wonderfuly‼️ I was the costume mistress for THE TAMING OF THE SHREW and loved making the costumes❣️ As always really enjoyed this video❣️
I discovered this channel a week ago and am totally addicted - who needs Netflix?
Stephanie, are you a self taught costumer? You (and Michael) are so talented!
I would call that a MooMoo. Nothing better than coming home to your MooMoo!
I always walk away from your videos with a new cache of such interesting knowledge. Thank you for sharing these wonderful 18th Century fashions - your gown was fabulous! I am very keen to see Michael's banyan.
The lounge wear is absolutely beautiful on you. Can't wait to see Michaels. What fun you and Michael have with your creativity. To be honest, all your friends seem to have talent and bring such joy to us viewers. I am looking forward to seeing your African safari vlog next week. Until then...
I’ve been sitting with my coffee waiting for this lol love you all so much. You make my Sunday xo
I am laughing so hard. I did exactly the same thing....(wait for it) when I was ten. Although mine was hand stitched by a rank amateur (ME) and eventually fell apart...it was such fun. Cheers.
Lovely! Can't wait to see you and Michael in your loungewear, idling away the time in the Chateau. Not that you do anyway (idling that is), because you both have wonderful ideas and are always coming up with something to do. Besides you have a Chateau to run and so much to do.
So enjoy all your creative projects. You could wear a potato sack and still look fabulous Stephanie 💛 Love it 👌🌸👌 Quite like the Empire high waist 🎀. Enjoy lounging around 🏰Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA
You two should make a whole line of "Chateau Loungewear," and sell it to support the chateau. There must be local seamstresses who would love the work! Looking forward to the final products, and thanks again for keeping us entertained as we all quarantine wherever we are.
Stephanie, you amaze me to be so daring to make a nightgown without a pattern.
Love this. Lounge wear is the key to gracious living!
I love your supportive devoted friendship and creativity that you share together.
Stephanie. Yo never cease to amaze me with your creativity and inventiveness 💜💛♥️🧡💙❤️
Michael’s a very positive creative influence on me - I always seem to tackle more projects when he’s around!
The Chateau Diaries like minds giving creative energy to each other
I love your creativity ❤ And the way you and Michael inspire each other 😁 Can't wait to see his outfit 🙂
Whenever my scissors get dull I cut some aluminum foil with them and it sharpens them right up! (You mentioned yours weren’t cutting well 😊)
I tried it and it didn't work well. Am I doing something wrong? Do you fold the foil to make it thicker? Do you cut a lot or just a few snips?
Barbie Button - yes, fold foil to at least 4 thicknesses or even 6. Cut thru several times. 👍
Is this a robe anglaise? I have been craving one of these lately. Yours is gorgeous. Think it would look great empire. Cannot wait to see Michael s. Was great fun to watch. Maybe I will do one for myself. I think maybe your machine could use a little oil. Sound like it. Brava!
Love your costume makes Stephanie, and can't wait to see Michael's Banyan. You pair are so creative it hurts 😄😄
I also can’t wait to see his banyan! (That sounds like a euphemism! 🤭)
@@TheChateauDiaries Firstly congratulations on all you do, you're a wonderful inspiration! Any chance you could post here the link to the video where we can see how Michael's banyan turned out? Best wishes, Alice
Stephanie, you should watch Bernadette Banners UA-cam channel. She does historic costuming/sewing!! She talks about historic period dressing, etc. I think you would enjoy it!
I'm a Minnesota interior designer who loves to make costumes, to garden, and decorate everything!! Yes decorating is my job and my hobby. I'm of English descent on my father's side and French descent on my mother's as well as a little Dutch and Austrian thrown in! I've watched every video and adore the decorating videos, of course!!!!!!!!!! What am I saying! I enjoy all your videos! ✨ 😍✨
Gorgeous fabric, such creativity, and you two are just so adorable 🥰
Who are those 22 people who disliked THIS BEAUTY?:)))))
Well done on your sewing projects. I hope you realize that you approached your project the same was as all the top designers. They just start draping fabric, pinning it here and there and go from there. You are Michael are an excellent team for bouncing ideas off of each other, which is so helpful. Looking forward to your safari vlog!
Slits for arms are somewhat to long.
I made an 18th century gown exactly the same but from stiffer cotton, I looked like a lampshade.
I am just amazed at how talented you both are. You are a joy to follow.
The Martha Stewart of the 21st Century.... luv the Projects and Inspiration..
Michael is absolutely precious. What a special relationship.
This was so much fun to watch. I love 17th and 18th century clothing. Well done!
Knicker bocker is a word that has always titilated me!!!
It is the most hilarious word!
oh yes and the word paddle pushers...
@@starshine9147 I thought it was pedal pushers. Funny! I just googled the words, I wonder if it is a Canadian version of the pants.
@@LindaArens lol your spelling is correct , not to sure of it's origin
@@LindaArens me too, I grew up calling them pedal pushers here in Canada. Maybe the reason being is the shorter length frees up the leg to ride a bike. I could be wrong though maybe it is 'paddle pushers' for rowers lol.
My Daddy had gold velvet flares in the '70s, my mum made them for him💛
Grecian line for me! Perfect for reclining at an Athenian salon and gossiping with Themistocles!
I need to arrange a Grecian costume party so that I have an excuse to wear it like that! 💛
I have so often gossiped with Themistocles. lol
I feel like God had you make this video just to show me several things:
1. Apparently it’s ok to make things up as I go and I can stop beating myself up for not following patterns
2. I’m not the only one who gets geeked out by period clothing That I can actually use in the privacy of my home
3. Apparently my narrow view of manliness needs to be adjusted. What an eye opener your partner is to me. Thank you. My dad and brothers would NEVER consider any project like that so I immediately assumed wrongly about your man and I’m quite impressed and thankful really.
4. Apparently I don’t do get much. Sorry if any of #3 was offensive. God truly is opening my eyes and I truly don’t get out much.
5. I already started buying fabric to make such lounge ware then abandoned the project when I found a second rate substitute having found a white blouse and a white skirt at a second hand shop that I put together.
6. God has validated me.
7. You have inspired me.
8. You have greatly encouraged me.
Thank you.
9. Girly girly over the top frilly is, yes, indeed so much fun sometimes.
10. Pink over blue. Why not. If one is going to be ridiculous then Bring It On and pull out all the stops.
Edit #4. “Apparently I don’t GET OUT much...”
Oh my. The way I typed it sounded ... BLUSHING
I like both waistlines, the empire and the Grecian. I wonder if you could add the ribbon in a way to change the waist at whim. Hmm
Thank you for sharing Chateau de Lalande with us. We enjoy your videos quite a bit! Do you think you could put a one-time donation button on your Patreon page? We'd like to donate but don't particularly want to enroll in a subscription. Thanks!
Beautiful lounge wear! You could have as both Empire waisted, and regular waisted., to be worn as either. Your fabrics and laces are so beautiful. You should make yourself a sackback gown. Lots of fabric required, but lovely.
Looking forward to your safari! No snakes or spiders, though!
💗💗💗
This video had me in stitches! You have such fun, it is infectious! Set me up for the day!!
Michael needs to hook up with Zack at Pinsent Tailoring, he's also a "cos tuber" or costume you tuber, wonderfully talented. I could see an episode where you host him as a guest and he helps Michael out.
Oooh funky pink polka dot fashion! So much fun!!!! Cannot wait to see Michael's outfit. Love fashion so much so I love that book! They have it on amazon!! I got the costume one in small version. So fun. Also...a funny thing. I went to our local Home Goods/Marshall's to look for Irish Rae Dunn stuff for St. Patricks. No luck. Yet, I found spode plates. Never seen them before. Yet, here were some exact plates you were just speaking of last week! Synchronicity! Of course I got a couple. Lalande here in Arizona till we visit...
Fantastic video! So entertaining! I really need some silk loungewear in my life!
Actuallly a close representation of the Vige’e Le Brun painting of Marie Antoinette 1783. Without the sleeves. She tied it with a sheer gold scarf tied in back. It was such a scandal that she had to have the artist paint virtually the same portrait in formal dress holding a rose the same year. Fun video.
Your loungewear looks gorgeous on you and I am in awe of the fact that you can whip up something that beautiful without a pattern! I can't wait to see what Michael comes up with. Looking forward to the safari on Thursday. I loved the safari we went on when we were in S. Africa. It included glamping.
I was just thinking early on in the video that Michael should check out the Regency banyans of young Zack Pinsent of London, when he announced he was going to make one!
I have a brilliant chemise pattern from Vogue. It is in the vogue pattern book. It also has a corset pattern and one for a bum bustle. You have inspired me to make it.
My mom swore by a Vogue book that taught tailoring and fit. Before she died, she gave that book to my sister in law... who isnt sewing! Bahhhhhh
Of all the rooms in the chateau you haven’t got a sewing room designated yet, the garments you make are fabulous! You definitely need a sewing room, I’d be lost without mine! Definitely around the waist!
You guys always have fun! Best wishes, Vinden & Eve
It’s absolutely stunning. Good job!
So creative, I love it! As always so much fun!
A pair of pantaloons with loose comfortable elastic would be awesome under the floaty over robe.
It looks sumptuously gorgeous.....well done.....can't wait to see Michael's Chateau Lounging Around Appeal.
The arm holes are just a bit to long.
Eek! When your favourite vlog topics collide.....Have you seen Bernadette Banner's channel? She's an ace historical costumer/academic. She's in London quite a bit, and I feel like ye need a photo shoot collab
I haven’t, but I’ll definitely look her up! Thanks 😊
The peacock dress!! Oh, if anyone could wear that dress when it’s finished and do it justice it is Stephanie!
@@TheChateauDiaries Here is my favorite B. Banner video-an 18th c. inspired Summer frock. I think it would suit you. (sending a video to someone who makes videos. lol) ua-cam.com/video/t6E_wqz0C3M/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for giving us information on Bernadette Banner's historical costume channel. I couldn't wait to switch on to Bernadette Banner's youtube and wow she is amazing. Thank you thank you again. Something else interesting to watch and learn from the amazing period in the 1800s. Love it.
@@bernadettehooper4318 - I recommend Prior Attire as well. www.priorattire.co.uk/page_3123612.html

I actually guffawed when Michael said gold britches. I could imagine it!
Loved this video!! I majored in Fashion Merchandising in College and almost majored in Costuming, so this video was such fun!! Thank you for sharing!!💗
That geezer Christian knew what he was up to didn't he !!
He really did! Imagine having a wardrobe filled with his clothes 😍
The lounge wear is inspiring to have this attire as the norm,and indulge in our dress fantasy.
Looks great Stephanie.
Id wear this cozy,flamboyant,delight..if I could make it.lol
Yes definitely hold it in the middle a beautiful stomacher would keep it in place ..Amazing!
Love everything you do but I want ❤️the print of the ostriches. It would look amazing over my table.
What a joy to see both of you having a blast no matter what the subject is.
Have a wonderful week
🤗😘💖💖💖
Love both of your ideas! You two have such fun together! I think you make a cute couple!
Oooh wonderful, ideas ideas..!!!
It looks wonderful Stephanie and especially when you were sitting on your beautiful bed x
Bernadette Banner made a very similar robe I believe.
So did Prior Attire and banyans were worn by ladies as well.
Ohhh so Gauthier this season my dear. Tre magnifique
It turned out so pretty!
So pretty‼️🌸🌸🌸 I was looking forward to pretty sleeves I must say😊
So interesting to see you working on something in that gorgeous fabric. Sort of an old fashioned, comforting thing to do.
I clicked too fast
How wonderful to have a friend like Michael to sew with !!!
I would do the arm holes shorter, love the idea of the ribbon only in the front at the waist💖
This is fantastic ❤️
I love the gown you made!!!! so beautiful. perfect for lounging.
New ideas make us happy,I in, I'll will make those close to go to diner ,in Chrismas and use same clothing to wall in home..for fan...love..I live here in California I spoke to my family we are 3 only they like the happy ideas..you have..my daughter Chanel put you in her telephon to see your show in her computer..I'll will buy the book of Versalle fashion I like...Elisa Grace from the End of the world....I'm princes too..
I SURE you'd go for one of Marie Antoinette's chemise dresses. This looked like so much fun. I wish I had friends like you!
I like the empire waist idea.
I only watched (again ;-) ) Pride & Prejudice last night!!! The one with Keira Knightley. Divine! I am peaking through my closet as I type, wondering in what shall one lounge like Stephanie today??? I live in a tiny house so tend to need to create in layers these days but do have an upper shelf full of bags and boxes of flouncing opportunities! I am, amongst other more businessy/normal things, an oracle reader, so dressing up comes with the territory and does indeed help to inspire life to be more romantic, creative and, let's be honest, an escape from much of the world's madness!!! Keep creating. We all LOVE what you share and your unique view of life xxxx
I love what you made for yourself. Beautiful.
Love this one ,what fun...thank-you !
You can always use a like fabric at the hem and make it look deliberated. Your the designer. Your thought processes work very well. I have sewn for over 55.
Love it. So happy you are sewing. Glad you share the love of sewing. Jgirl julie
thank you, my good lady, for all you have given us, all we need now is a natty vlog, lol, i can just see something like this on snl, where everyone is vlogging themselves and nothing gets done but every body looks ab-fab-usly chic during one of your patio parties and either the church falls in on itself or the chateau falls in on itself, ( cgi of course ) and the conversation stay on track with the latest champaign and red wines, charcuterie boards you have on hand as various jr staff come out with charcoaled balled pastries, over cooked chicken and roasts that wither and crumble away as soon as you stick a knife into them and it is all laughed off, ( stick to your moto ) and dan is in the parking lot shaking his head watching all of this with his drone................ lol
Beautiful!!! The power is in imagination!
I love how your both creative!!! So excited Sunday is here!
Hi Stephanie I noticed your Xmas calendar in the background when Michael is showing his pattern .
My mother was bought a M&S beauty calendar two years ago, so I collected gifts during the year refilled all the little boxes with things she would enjoy from mini bars of lint chocolate ,perfume, tea to Xmas decorations. I got as much enjoyment hunting for the gifts as she did opening them each day.
Maybe an idea for you Mum.
Wow Stephanie what you and Micheal can do. Where on earth did you learn to sew with no pattern? Making up your own on the spot and just sewing it together. Incredible!
Oh, what absolute fun!! And we were allowed to join you! Thank you!
Can’t believe what you can do with a needle and thread Stephanie, I can barely sow a button on....lovely to lounge in for sure......I’m eagerly awaiting the safari.....have a good adventure..................Donna in Toronto
I think a Banyan robe would be very nice for a woman, it could be very elegant with soft feminine fabric.
