I have a burgundy robe very similar and had the same problem with it being just a tad too short and wishing it was longer. I ended up stitching a triple layer lace in black around the hem and it added the right length with the extra drama. I liked it so much I went around the edges of my sleeves with the same lace and it’s the piece I’m most proud of.
That's what I love about your work. Use the principles, leave the maths behind, and dive into the creative. It's so organic and nourishing to the soul; even to watch! I appreciate the hard work but it's the freedom you give yourself, and us, to express self and create what is pleasing to you. Thank you so much!
It's incredible! I understand not trusting yourself with delicate silk around the house. I had the comfiest, thin, silk and cotton blend blouse, I wore it constantly and one day I somehow torn off sleeve cuff. That's how I learnt that you don't wear delicate blouses around the house 😂
I haven't had this happen yet, but I have cats who help me put pulls in my sweaters while I'm knitting them, so I probably shouldn't have delicate fabrics, either 😄
That does indeed look like something I need in my life, but since it's summer down here I'm thinking the sleeves could be a bit more... butterfly-ish? No! _Dragonfly!_ Sketch-book, awaaay!
Oh Bianca! "GODDESS OF THE SACRED EVENING!" PREPARING FOR THE SACRIFICAL CUTTING ON THE BLUE PATTERING TABLE OF DOOM!" LOL! OH DO THE THANG, GURL!!! WORK IT!!
I've been waiting for this tutorial. For Christmas I'm making my girlfriend a quilted house coat, the design brief is 'dramatic evil queen'. I showed her your robe and she loved the sleeves, so fabric yardage allowing I'll be giving them a go.
@@TheClosetHistorian Since I lack pattern drafting skills (and if I had them they'd be for menswear) my plan is to use a women's dressing gown pattern to start with and then fuck with the sleeves to make it more dramatic, maybe add more flare to the skirt if I have the fabric. Unlike last time I made her a garment I'm going to do a mockup and get her to try it on so I know it will fit, even if that does spoil the surprise a little.
Yes, always taught to include the seam allowance. French seams - so divine in the end. Black lace at the bottom would be lovely. Wishing you more get well thoughts.
"Miss Esposito, I have a Mrs. Addams on the line. She'd like to commission your large sleeved dressing gown in black." Seriously. This is absolutely gorgeous, and Morticia Addams would've felt the same way. Also, the hem addition you mention sounds like it would look really cool!
Love, love, love this! I just want to say that you are responsible for giving me the confidence to try making a gown for a Christmas party this year, so thank you!
I promise you I mean this is a compliment, but if Disney were to ever remake Hercules, then I would nominate you as the voice of Hades. It's the smart, fast, convincing voice even if you yourself aren't convinced! I live for it.
So sorry to hear you got covid in Oct. I hope you have a full recovery, and not get long covid complications. This robe is gorgeous. You are so talented!
I love this and have a powerful need to make one to swan about in while I'm studying. Now that my machine is fixed I feel a powerful need for a good procrastination project! Gorgeous work as always
Oh you are SO evel... I have no use for robes - and now I NEED to make one with thoose sleeves! And that is on top of the sackbackrobe I have been dreaming of. But a trailing sackback and sleeves taked together at the back is not going to work together. So now I have TWO dreamrobes.....
I really appreciate your videos for entertainment and aesthetic value. It's very calming to watch people sew, but I also love your vintage Addams Family vibe. I've had to learn that as much as I love a vintage witch look, it's not who I am, so I love to see it on other people. Please keep being you!
You did a beautiful job with this project. I think the length is perfect because one does not want to trip and fall while getting ready for an evening out. Wouldn't this be wonderful as a coat done in a black velvet with silver trim?
Magnificent !!! 😻😻😻 The length of your dressing gown looks very planned and sensible in my opinion. 😻 Wearing delicates around the house, garments with delicious trains, trailing long sleeves, and beautiful lace always captures the attention of the kitties, and I am pounced upon!!! Snags in delicate fabrics break my heart. I have even managed to hang up on a corner of my restaurant-size metal kitchen sink and shredded the section of my favorite flannel shirt, all by myself. So now, favorite flannel shirt will become a shortened toasty bed jacket. 😻 I love French Seams and Flat Feld Seams. 😻
The sheer fabulousity of this robe cannot be overstated! J'adore!! Now all you need is a Victorian manse to glide around in! Adding a black ruffle to the end is a genius idea!
Fabulous! I love the tassel detail. It is so flattering on you! Looking forward to what you have in store for the next video. Thanks so much for sharing.
😍😍😍such a statement piece. It’s wonderful! And that rich color 🤤 ♥️ How about using the burrito method next time for the yoke? It would save you a french seam. It involves a placket yoke so it incases the seam between the fashion fabric and the placket. There are (of course 😂) a ton of YT vid’s about it and I found it very enlightning 💡 looking forward to a piece in navy blue or something??? `
I went to fashion school too. We never had SA in blocks. All pattern manipulations are done without seam allowances and we added the SA at the very end after all the pattern pieces are drafted and "walked" to make sure all the notches are in the right place.
So beautiful! I definitely need one for flouncing around my apartment, lol. I also love the idea of a version 2 in black burnout velvet with beaded fringe on the sleeve hems. I think for the beaded fringe version I would have to make the sleeves a little smaller, but similarly magnificent
Oh dear, I guess that means I have a robe on my to do list! The garnet color is so lovely! But I need one in royal blue, amethyst, even an acid green would be amazing! All the colors of the "rich widow" rainbow!
Briliant idea to attatch the sleeves! I wish I had thought of that. It looks like a great way to reduce the amount of damage long sleeves can do indoors.😉
Saw in the green silk roses video that some commenters have complained about your voice. So I zoomed here to your most recent video to say that I love your voice. I play your videos on long drives because your voice is soothing and your sarcasm and snark are DELIGHTFUL. I only sew rectangles (quilts and such) so I’m100% here for the cool chick and the pretty projects. And you also may have inspired me to make some beaded beetles. Beadles… love it. Keep being awesome.
I think it definitely makes sense to french seam the top of the sleeves rather than serge, because that part would touch bare arms. It'd be softer than a potentially rough serged edge. And I love it, and I need one. In deep green, or maybe blue. Next time I see an appropriate fabric on sale...
This is just so beautiful!! And it looks so high end and complicated in construction once it's done! Great so see that it is actually really manageable from a pattern perspective! Thank you so much for this, Bianca!
I have no idea what you're doing, and I'm so glad it's not me doing it, but once again a stunning result, and yes, I want this too. I'll wait until I can twitch my nose effectively.
This is stunning !!!!! French seams are my favourite just so easy and 2 step to finish on the machine. Will be making robes now in every colour I can find in reasonably priced fabrics. x
Watching this on my lunch break because I'm too excited to wait till I get home. Amazing garment and I absolutely adore it and will be making my own soon! 💙
Is it weird for me to be here and make this a project for Christmas with black chiffon and red cotton? Two layers. Very ambitious. I just hope it's not Christmas party 2023. 😂😂 #Hooked Love from the PH 🇵🇭
I feel like you could always add ruffles to the bottom of your robe if you wanted or something to that effect if you really wanted to add length to it. Either way I love the way it turned out
I for some reason i'm the same way I have my brain is very very trained that you have to put the sentiment allowance on the pattern and if i don't remember to do that then i'm just gonna waste a bunch of fabric because it's gonna be too small. And if anybody has a problem with it then they need to get over it. You're doing an amazing thing by showing us in teaching us and reminding us that you can always do things your own way embellish your own way. That's the great thing about individuality.
I am not good enough to follow your tutorials however I always learn things from you and your incredible brain while I'm currently making my second dress
I love that you chose a practical fabric for this floating, full-sleeved, gorgeous robe. I hope you enjoy wearing it a lot and for a long while. Bet your kittens are going to love those sleeves too!😺
I love it and I will def make it - but use it as a dress that I can wear next year whilst cruising the Nile. I found some viscose chiffon, that should be a good alternative.
SO BEAUTIFUL! I moved from garments to bag making and lost everything I learned from you sadly, but am still fascinated watching you measure and draw and cut out. It is satisfying to see. You are very talented. 🙂
I've tried both ways now and ... well, last time I left the seam allowances on a very precise pattern, I cut them all off. I find I really need my stitch lines, not only for sewing but also for pinning, It's fine for a tunic shirt or something but not on a half-corset... and I still had to seam-rip a few times to get things even and symmetcical. Though I guess that says more about my ability to sew than my ability to make patterns :P I agree with French Seams, definitely weird and confusing, and though I will use it for really sheer fabrics, I'm still confounded by seam intersections. And thank you for mentioning bias tape again, I'm finally starting to use that. I can imagine it's life-changing on a circle skirt (one of which I just roll-hemmed yesterday)
Having seen so many people sewing the Walk Away Dress lately, I was wondering if you could add it to your list of projects? Everything I've seen is so confusing due to the reproduction pattern being so different from the original. You were the first person I thought of that could do it right. 👍💙
I tried it both ways and now I prefer making my patterns without seam allowance. I find that whenever I'm cutting I naturally add at least 1/4 - 1/2" seam allowance so I don't accidentally cut the pattern with the fabric. I think as long as you mark your pattern so you know where seam allowance is required it's easy not to forget.
BTW I really appreciate the way you do your videos beginning with the pattern making process. It helps me learn how garments are made. And you make very glamorous looking garments. I love your style!
I always start watching these videos hoping that I will understand how alterations to the sloper actually are thought out. Then when I see you constructing and the final make and I no longer care. This robe is absolutely beautiful and your talent and Skill are heaven level. Brava. Lovely. Gorgeous.
Giant sleeves are the BEST!! I have a few pieces with giant sleeves and I love how they feel and look especially when I walk. I have a dress by Kambriel called the Dracula's Bride Spellbound and the sleeves on that stretch for miles! This robe you made is amazing!
I think a 6-inch strip of chiffon and two or three more strips of evenly spaced lace would do it for the length. It's lovely! Poisonous plants but no carnivorous ones? LOL

@@Noel.Chmielowiec oh no! What is it with pets making nests of our nice stuff? 🤣
@@AllTheHappySquirrels I think this stuff smells like us and they feel cosy there :) Or they want to destroy our work, either way is possible 😂

Thank you Heather!
Ohhhhh!! Pretty! I love the built in cat toy on the sleeves too 😉
Oh no! That iiiis a built-in cat toy attachment! Hope those cute lil beasts don't get any ideas...
Sleeeeeeves! What is it with us spooky girls and our eccentric sleeves
Epic sleeves are just the best, we cannot deny the truth ✨
Yes, always taught to include the seam allowance. French seams - so divine in the end. Black lace at the bottom would be lovely. Wishing you more get well thoughts.

"Miss Esposito, I have a Mrs. Addams on the line. She'd like to commission your large sleeved dressing gown in black."

Thank you! For Morticia I would take commissions 😂
@@TheClosetHistorian and you know she would spare no expense. The Addams' were just those sort folks.

"Just a polyester dress for sitting around the house." I would sure love to live in your world!
Oh you are SO evel...
I have no use for robes - and now I NEED to make one with thoose sleeves!
And that is on top of the sackbackrobe I have been dreaming of. But a trailing sackback and sleeves taked together at the back is not going to work together. So now I have TWO dreamrobes.....
All the robes! All the robes! ✨✨

Thank you Jeanette!
Dramatic but no fabric drama 🙂 no silk or chiffon around those kitties 😻

I think some eyelash lace trim at the bottom of the robe would be really nice! and it'll be intentional!
Waiting with excitement for you to reach 100k!
Thank you Jane!!
Wowza! You keep outdoing yourself with each new make! ♡♡♡♡◇
Thank you Rinae!
ooooh and I loooove the sleeves attached behind! Lots ofmovement + elegance
I love it and I will def make it - but use it as a dress that I can wear next year whilst cruising the Nile. I found some viscose chiffon, that should be a good alternative.
Well worth the wait! WOW! Love and Adore! {never in a million would have guessed it was "to short."} LOVE!
Thank you Michelle!!
Beautiful, as always, and yay for french seams. It always makes me smile when you say you will never do them.
Thank you! Every once and a while I am forced by the universe into french seams 😂
SO BEAUTIFUL! I moved from garments to bag making and lost everything I learned from you sadly, but am still fascinated watching you measure and draw and cut out. It is satisfying to see. You are very talented. 🙂

Beautiful. Definitely add some black lace, it will be delicious.
Thank you Marie!
