I'm Making Myself an 1830's Pumpkin Dress!

- Ever since I made a doll-sized 1830s dress last fall, I've been wanting a matching one for myself. And luckily, I was able to buy more of the perfect pumpkin cotton from Joanns last year, so now it's finally time to make my pumpkin dress!

I'm glad you finally are making this dress. Its a lovely colour.
This will be cute but I'm really looking forward to seeing your Sleepy Hallow costume! For this one, all the piping would scare me more than a spooky cemetery gathering. lol
Aww, piping isn't too bad! 😉
Very nice and neat piping, and yes its nicely proportional to the size of the garment. I do think that if you are tall, bigger busted with a stronger frame overall, its nicer to scale up, just a little the piping as you did. Piping can lose its visual impact, even tho it was originally designed to just strengthen a seam. I made a very nice brown silk jacquard 1830's gown, about 15 years ago, heavily structured and embellished with piping in combination with bias strips sitting behind the piping, as that method was allso used a lot too. Theres a book called "Embellishments" which shows the variety of self fabric trims Victorian clothing used. I highly recommend it. Again, very nice neat work!
That sounds like an interesting book. The Victorians used an insane amount of self trim in a myriad of ways!
I love that you were able to find more of the same fabric!
Love all your videos. You help me stay motivated to sew. I’m the Queen of Procrastination! Stay safe. Sending best wishes from Down Under 🥰🌸🌼🌺🌻💐😎🇦🇺
Could you recreate a version of Ariel or Vanessa from the late 1830s? The original story of The Little Mermaid was published in 1837, so it would be appropriate if the live-action version's costumes were inspired by sea creatures and the fashion of that era. The 1830s was a decade known for its frothy and extravagant fashion, and Lady Featherington from the show Bridgerton would undoubtedly appreciate the opulent styles of this period!
I doubt that I'll do an 1830s Ariel. I have however been eyeing that one drawing of the beautiful 1890s Ariel for ages, so that might happen someday.
bella mae's designs made an 1830s ariel dress!
That piping looks amazing, both in size and execution.
Looking forward to seeing both this dress done and the Sleepy Hollow dress, that's a dream dress for me.
Good luck and don't forget to breathe once in a while. 😉
Can't wait. I like the color. And yes, very Autumnal.
Oh boy!!! Yes!!! Can't wait to see the next video!!!😃😃❤❤❤
6:49 That last dress is the exact dress I'm planning on attenpting to recreate for my girlfriend!
What a tease. 😉 I’ll be anxiously awaiting the finished product. All your projects are so amazing. You do beautiful work 🧵
Thanks! Yep, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get back to this one!
Hi! It's a very neat/great part 1. Like fabric. Like gathers going a bove the waist. What a cliffhanger ! :(. Ciao.
I love gathered front dresses from period, so I am thrilled to see you making one! I am also working on an 1830s gown, but in black. I’ve seen a few 30s fashion plates with gathered fronts, most appear in the mid to late 1830s. I can send them to you if you would like!
Sure, I'd love to see the fashion plates! And good luck with your dress!
An ambitious project! I've seen some dresses of the era, mostly on PBS historical series, that have bodice front that look like there's smocking for a few inches up the centre front front and a few inches on each side of centre front. Looks great but super fussy! I'm sure your final result will be fabulous!
Yep, that's the more densely gathered fan front that became especially popular in the 1840s. And thanks!
This looks like it's gonna be delicious
This was gorgeous
This looks fantastic and I look forward to seeing the finished product! I think you might have been able to avoid any tightness in the bust if you had slash and spread the pattern piece from the neckline rather than adding to the centre front? I don’t think it’s really going to affect the final product as the mock-up fits well and achieves the look you’re after but it might have allowed for more room in the bust
Yay!
This looks like it should be a good looking dress. I like the fan gathering although one person suggested fan-folded pleats, which sounds intriguing!
A Fall dress plus spooky dresses, I'm in heaven!

Love the fan front bodice! And loved your comment about the other Halloween project. I watched sleepy hollow right before I watched this video❤❤❤
as i am watching this I am thinking about the newest American Girl 2023 Shimmering Silver Holiday Collector Doll limited edition she is dressed in an all silver beaded gown that gives off 1920s art deco period would love to see you remake it It would look fantastic on you . she has hair like elsa and and a sliver head piece but the gown has silver and purple beads on it .
I love the overall look of the mockup. I think that the bustline issue may be part of the intended structure of the dresswith shoulers back and a rigid posture.
Thanks! It's definitely possible, though I do generally have pretty good posture (at least from a modern standpoint)
Can’t wait for the rest ❤
I think that the problem with the bust and gathering is that you've added width just under armpits, and it should've been up to the apex. This way, you're only adding fabric to your stomach, not the bust
I've considered getting an american girl-sized doll so I can sew historical garments and learn techniques. Do you think it's helpful? Your doll and clothes are SO CUTE.
Thanks! I think if you're wanting to learn without using up lots of fabric, or without making the garments for yourself, then yes, it can be helpful. Just keep in mind that some things become more difficult when sewing on that scale, especially if you're trying to do it by machine.
Would it be historically accurate to do a contrast color for the piping?
Also, I had no idea what that foot was used for when I got my sewing machine. I wish the different feet came with explanations or labels.
I don't think I've ever seen one with contrast piping, to be honest. And usually, there will be a little key in your manual that will show what each part is that comes with your machine, though tbh, I don't think I've ever seen a machine that came with a piping foot before!

Hey Rebecca, do you have any recommendations/tips for serging the curves? I have been trying to serge my fabric first and my arm and neck holes have been getting wonky. If I do them after setting a sleeve they are better.
What do you mean by them getting wonky? Like, they're getting stretched out?
@@LadyRebeccaFashions That and the curve is lost.
@@lunch12I'm not sure how you would lose the curve, but if it's stretching, you could stay stitch it on your sewing machine first.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions thanks! I will try that. I think it’s 100% user error so the stay stitching would help with keeping things even and straight.
I was wondering if you have any idea why piping was so popular
Thanks! Honestly, no idea, but from the 1820s through the 1840s, they really put it all over!
@LadyRebeccaFashions ok. I am really looking forward to next week's project. Have you seen Rachel Maksy's videos on the dress? Could you see it as a 1830's dress?
@@kyradavis7130 the sleepy hollow dress you mean? I feel like, as an 1830s dress, the stripes would clash with the overall shapes. 18th c can be pretty angular, whereas 1830s is very rounded.
And yep, I've seen Rachel's vid on it. And Christine's, which has been pretty helpful.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions yes. The sleepy hollow dres
@@LadyRebeccaFashions ok

I don't like that gathered look on your sample. How about little pleats? Fans fold up in little pleats. That dress looks like it is going to be hot (with so many layers). Interesting. I'm very glad that I didn't have to wear something like that in this life.
They really never did pleats for a look like this, just gathering. And it's not very hot, at least not for an autumn dress.
Why are you so mean to yourself?!? That's a lot to get done for the month! Are one of those people who don't need ridiculous amounts of sleep. I'm jealous if you are!
I hit post by accident! I loved the dress on the doll! Really looking forward to seeing it people sized. I'm sure it will be stunning!
I know, I definitely shouldn't be pushing myself like this, but oh well, here we are! Wish me luck on my bodice mock-up! 🤞
