You can - at the palace :) [If youre lucky enough to be able to get to the UK, that is! Hopefully it will find its way online after the exhibition closes].
S G H unfortunately I live in Chicago so visiting the palace is not an option. Hopefully they allow photography at the the exhibition and someone can post photos on Instagram.
As a Lancashire Lass now in my 80's and living in Australia I must tell you how proud (and jealous) I am about all the skills and dedication It takes to work in this field. I made a dress for my daughter when she was 8 years old based on a portrait of the queen I saw in a book. These episodes really lift my spirits and my creative juices. Thank You so much.
Dang you Classic this was going to be my comment. Fashion never celebrates the amazing talent these craft artist give to design and truly deserve recognition.
So very fascinating! This could have gone into an entire documentary from start to finish but I understand the time constraints. Beautifully done video!
Will you provide another upcoming video showing your work completed for your global viewers who can't make it to Hampton Court? I would love to see it in detail, completed!
I’m going to echo others here in asking for a video of the dress completed as well as being put on and worn by the re-enacter for those of us that can’t come to Hampton Court.
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!!!
I think it is same atelier that made dresses in ¨A Stitch in Time" series. It is a must for historical fashion lovers! :) All episodes are here on YT! :D Yes,you are welcome!
Nothing "whimsical" about it. You'll notice that there are also mouths on that cloak. Religious and political tensions meant that Elizabeth essentially ran a police state, with spies reporting every potential threat to her. That cloak is a warning to would-be rebels and dissidents.
Not only is the dress quite lovely, I must say I was struck by how Beautiful the ladies all are! Everyone of you, talented & lovely. Thanks for sharing, I'll be looking forward to more content.
I just love the creating of these wonderful clothing. I would give a lot just to be able to get near one or actually touch one. To see the stitching and Imagine the seamstress working on it. Beautiful video
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Absolutely breathtaking! The fine delicate detailing in this recreation is superb. One really has to appreciate the time and patience that goes into creating a such a work of art!
Awesome, I know that some of the speakers talked about making other dresses some of lower status and higher up, I'd love to see them in a video or something.
Well I guess I'm crap out of luck for seeing the finished dress. I can barely afford the wifi I'm watching this video with, let alone travel expenses to England. Well what we did get to see was Stunning. Great job!
I just found out from The Sultan and the Queen that Elizabeth was actually allies and trading partners with the Ottoman Empire and was on good terms with Sultan Murad III, who she had a friendly correspondence with.
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.
I am very familiar with this incredible dress . the dress you show in this video looks nothing like it , the hues, & the sensuality of this historical dress
What an awesome project. Seen a video on UA-cam that talked through the portrait which was fascinating, never crossed my mind it would be recreated. The Royal School of Embroidery is on the same grounds as the Palace so I assume they were involved?
Rumstation have bee a very exiting task....a dress with so many detailsalg.belive though that we are lucky,wearing such garments nowadays...show US,a picture of it when finished
Maschine stitches can be closer and thus more durable, maybe? Also you have to keep in mind that although the abilities of the woman in the video are all great they probably still lack in comparison to those who made the queens clothing. You can see it with the stitching too. The stitching by the contemporary artists its beutiful but its but a shodow of the alter cloth. That stitching is just out of this world and requires decades of daily training. Many modern artists dont have that bc there is just not the demand so they dont stitch that much
So even If the dress would have been more durable hand stitched by a master of its carft in elizabethian times these woman might not have the same skill level
@@layla8830 It really isn't hard to make a hand backstitch that is more durable than anything a sewing machine can do. I've taught children to do it. Even historically, the people who stitched long seams on garments were NOT the most skilled people. It is so simple a task that there is absolutely no benefit to hiring a more skilled person to do it--so it was generally assigned to apprentices or hired hands--as something that they could do to 'earn their keep'--and to free up the master's time for things that actually do require a master's hand, like draping, cutting, design, etc. Durability isn't just about the stitch density, it's about getting the thread wrapped around the weave of the fabric--which is something you can do when you stitch by hand, but which sewing machines do not do. You can do a backstitch at 8 stitches per inch that will hold better than 20 stitches per inch of interlock stitch. Even if it's not the prettiest and most even (although certainly someone with a few hundred of hours experience can make a beautiful hand stitch) it will always be more durable than a sewing machine's stitch. As a costumer myself, I get why they chose the machine stitch. I really do. Hand sewing takes forever, and especially if you're trying to make garments for a living it can be really hard to justify sewing by hand when in most cases, machine-sewn seams are 'good enough' to get the job done. Machine stitching does not give you durability, it gives you economy. Which is fine. I'm just kind of annoyed that they lied. I get that Past Pleasures is a business and they don't want to be seen as 'cutting corners' but claiming that machine sewing improves durability when it does the exact opposite it, well... it makes me kind of not want to trust anything else they tell me about the quality of their costumes.
Charlie Hockett They might not even know that it is more durable but you are right, it isn't very honest. This is you tube where people can comment back.
This dress is so beautiful. I see similarities between the embroidered flowers and the stunning watercolor and gauche border of King Charles and Queen Camilla's Coronation Invitation. Opiate for the Eyes.
Those eyes and ears represent Queen Elizabeths' surveillance over England. ^_^ Just in case anyone wonders. Also, I would love a dress like that. I want to make my own someday so getting ideas here. It would properly take me 5-8 years though, because I'm such a meticulous person and would love to be precise. ^_^~
I wish we could have seen the finished project.
You can - at the palace :) [If youre lucky enough to be able to get to the UK, that is! Hopefully it will find its way online after the exhibition closes].

@@2meroyn Or they could, you know, just show us.
I agree, not everyone can get to the Palace.
They do that on purpose you have to pay to see the item.
Not fair for those of us who live overseas.
How exciting to be able to recreate such a sumptuous dress as worn by Elizabeth 1. Bearing in mind that the original was totally made by hand!
Yess

These ladies are artists in their way. Must be an obsession and love to history art and handicraft. Overwhelming❤
Amazing! The embroidery is sensational! Congratulations to all who participated.
Gorgeous. So many talented artists and historians working to create beauty. Thank YOU.
Dang you Classic this was going to be my comment. Fashion never celebrates the amazing talent these craft artist give to design and truly deserve recognition.
So very fascinating! This could have gone into an entire documentary from start to finish but I understand the time constraints. Beautifully done video!
How truly exquisite. How clever these young women are. Truly awesome. Those fabrics take my breath away.
This level of talent and attention to detail just blows my mind. Amazing, the skills these ladies have. Brilliant ❤
Will you provide another upcoming video showing your work completed for your global viewers who can't make it to Hampton Court? I would love to see it in detail, completed!
Harold Slick you’re childish.
You’re very handsome. :)

Just Lisa yes I agree....
l agree.
I agree.
Very respectful of the skills these artisans have attained
Amazing workmanship and attention to detail...I would expect nothing less from this group of talented and dedicated ladies.
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.

It's never too late to learn! I taught myself and I'm still learning. You can do it too! 💕
I think it is same atelier that made dresses in ¨A Stitch in Time" series. It is a must for historical fashion lovers! :) All episodes are here on YT! :D Yes,you are welcome!
Would love to go and see this exhibition in Hampton Court!
LOVE watching this! Work of art! Fabulous!
I admire these women so much. I wish I was that talented with a needle and thread
Im so envious of your job but i'm very grateful of you xxx
Appreciate this update. Fabulous work. Oh, if only I could see it up close and personal.
Amazingly talented textile craftspeople and artists. Such a beautiful project, done so well. Congratulations!
That embroidery is gorgeous!
Such talented ladies. What a gorgeous gown.
Stunning and exciting! What a great work! Congrats to all your team.
Beautiful embroidery - I love that. I'd have been interested to see the lace and what you did with that - being a lace-maker myself.
You ladies are very talented.. Just beauitful work.
The ears and eyes are what made the portrait whimsical, alongside with the extravagant flower motifs, of course.
Nothing "whimsical" about it. You'll notice that there are also mouths on that cloak. Religious and political tensions meant that Elizabeth essentially ran a police state, with spies reporting every potential threat to her. That cloak is a warning to would-be rebels and dissidents.
I wonder whether Elizabeth II will come to view her predecessor's dress.
That is the best thing I have seen today. In my next life, this is what I would love to do. Anazing...I would love to see it completed.
Wonderful use of art historical analysis and dress history!
Stunning workmanship
It must be very exciting to work on this project! Thank you for sharing the creating of this gown!
This is awesome! I love the work 😍
I love discovering the meaning behind all the different patterns and symbols used on the dress. The Queen is all-hearing and all-seeing indeed! :) x
The restoration ladies are master craftsmen. All those eyes upon you. How Machiavellian of the 👑.
Fabric and pattern wonderful😮
I have been a fan of Elizabeth I since I was a child....this is fabulous!!! Wish I could see the completed Fairie Queen’s dress.
Not only is the dress quite lovely, I must say I was struck by how Beautiful the ladies all are! Everyone of you, talented & lovely. Thanks for sharing, I'll be looking forward to more content.

Why don't you show the finished gown?
I think the embroidery part of the dress is very beautiful. Well done!
Absolutely magical.
Wow, that is some dress! Love, love, love the colors.
How wonderful
Awesome, I know that some of the speakers talked about making other dresses some of lower status and higher up, I'd love to see them in a video or something.
Stunning work!
Amazing!!
And the jewelry
Beautiful work.
This superbly fabric would make a splendid wedding dress today 😍 👌
Very intricate, detailed & lovely. Tfs💖
i love the pattern on the dress. so cute.
Loved this video...... made me jealous because I love the process of creating a historical garment. Think I missed my true calling.
You haven’t missed it! You have the ability to make historical garments
Show us more!! I would have loved to see at Hampton Court, but can't. BEAUTIFUL work!
Even today, perfect to throw on for a quick trip to the grocery store.
Amazing to see how history is protected well done ladies let us see the end product please!
Well I guess I'm crap out of luck for seeing the finished dress. I can barely afford the wifi I'm watching this video with, let alone travel expenses to England. Well what we did get to see was Stunning. Great job!
Beautiful, well done!
Bueatiful costume lovely embroidery work well done 👏👏👏🌞
Trust the Brits for period reconstruction...Good show! Best regards from Lisbon Portugal
Wow! Thank you for your talent!
I just found out from The Sultan and the Queen that Elizabeth was actually allies and trading partners with the Ottoman Empire and was on good terms with Sultan Murad III, who she had a friendly correspondence with.

Elizabeth was so beautiful
This woman was ahead of her time in fashion. The bodice looks very similar to something worn in the Georgian era ❤️
Please do a lengthy video on this gorgeous dress. I do embroidery and would love to see more.
I am very familiar with this incredible dress . the dress you show in this video looks nothing like it , the hues, & the sensuality of this historical dress

So beautiful
I would love an update on this garment
LOVE! Can we see when it's done??
Please share with us a look at the final dress!
So very beautiful.
I hope to try recreating Queen Elizabeth the first's Darnley portrait gown
Okay this is the corner of UA-cam I'd like to stay in 🙌🏼
I am sooo going to Hampton Court Palace for ice-skating this Christmas!
I wish we have all her dresses
Gosh it looks beautiful
Did we get the complete video?
Rumstation have bee a very exiting task....a dress with so many detailsalg.belive though that we are lucky,wearing such garments nowadays...show US,a picture of it when finished
what I wouldn't see a reproduction of:
-her red dress as a princess
-the "Armada Portrait" dress
Well done you guys ona beautiful job well done 🇮🇪😊 I love it
elaine mcdonald Are You From Ireland Or Italy
@@seanhannonnn am from ireland
Ohhhhh, I want that dress!
Beautiful
What size was she. Looks small
Raw amazing talent
a point of interest is that handsewn garment done correctly is stronger than machine stitched.
Would have loved to see the dress.
What a tease! Where’s the finished version? A lot of us aren’t able to visit in person! Please showcase the finished outfit!!!
👏 fabulous
Did she just say "machine stitched for durability?" Since when it machine stitching more durable than hand backstitching?
Maschine stitches can be closer and thus more durable, maybe? Also you have to keep in mind that although the abilities of the woman in the video are all great they probably still lack in comparison to those who made the queens clothing.
