    I truly wish I knew how to sew. It is a lost art and something I have always wanted to learn. My grandmother knew how to sew and I always remember looking through this chest of drawers in the room she used for sewing, which had tons of patterns in it. I also have a distant cousin who's a very skilled seamstress. She works in the theater district in NYC, making costumes last I heard. Anyway, what a beautiful dress!!!

  • @paulinelarson465
    @paulinelarson465 5 років тому +49

    I have heard so many comments from friends, wondering how the dress could have become an alter cloth. I sew and have some knowledge of how these "historical" dresses differ from modern garb. The costume gowns I have created are mostly one piece, for ease of creation, use and storeage. When explaining the creation of actual, multi-pieced, Elizabethan gowns, it is necessary to go all the way back to the creation of fiber and fabric. People are amazed at that entire process and the limitations of basic materials. It makes these treasures even more amazing.

    • @candicehoneycutt4318
      @candicehoneycutt4318 5 років тому +15

      A lot of people don't know that once a monarch died, some of their possessions were sold off, repurposed, or given away. They didn't preserve everything for posterity or historical record. It's rumored that Anne Boleyn's pearls are in the crown the current Queen Elizabeth is wearing now, or something like that.

    • @caligulalonghbottom2629
      @caligulalonghbottom2629 5 років тому +13

      I find it bizarre that people didn't save things for posterity since they certainly did if they thought the items belonged to a saint...Elizabeth the First was basically treated like an actual deity so I'm not sure how nothing of hers survived at all...very odd. But yeah, the underskirt of a gown could easily be turned into an altar cloth...just take out some seams and it was likely one big piece of fabric.

    • @stephsmanicshenanigans8017
      @stephsmanicshenanigans8017 5 років тому +6

      Caligula Longhbottom some of her stuff could be found still ya never know. Hidden in an old house or someone’s stuff just like the altar cloth. I hope that finding that cloth gets a spark for others to look. I think the stuff that was given away is probably still around even if it’s part of something else now, like the people she would have left her stuff to were nobles I would assume so the stuff may still be in those families belongings. Idk it’s an exciting thought!

    • @candicehoneycutt4318
      @candicehoneycutt4318 5 років тому +4

      Caligula Longhbottom I mean, they probably kept some stuff, just not all of it. Some of her jewelry survived.
      Elizabeth had like 2000 dresses, although I also find it odd that none of them really still exist, at least as dresses. Civil war followed soon after she died, so some of the fabric may have gone towards that somehow.

    • @katherinemurphy2762

      I've read that most of the dresses of Elizabeth I were destroyed in the great fire of 1666. They were kept in the Tower of London, which received considerable damage from the fire.

    Did you recreate it with Elizabeth I’s dimensions? Because she was a very tiny woman, extremely thin (presumably like her mother, since Harry always liked petite women). The pattern looks much larger than the size that we know Elizabeth I to have been. It would be nice to make it accurate to her dimensions, to give people an idea of how she would have looked in it.
