Cats Costumery | A Different Edwardian Lace Blouse | The 1905 Berry Travel Suit Project Part 1 @CatsCostumery | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
I'm so glad to FINALLY be able to share this project with you! The folks over on Patreon voted for this costume make back in 2021, and I started in earnest only to fizzle out like a candle at the end of its wick. I managed to get some of it done over the winter of 2021 into 2022, but once the winter was over I lost all motivation. But I decided this was the year to finish it! So back in December, I picked the project back up and I am finally at a point where I can share the beginnings since I am confident in the ending.
This project is inspired by an extant costume at the Hillwood Museum in the USA (hillwoodmuseum.org/collection/item/48.11.1-3?r=c%3D25&p=14). It was made in 1905 by B. Altman (with shops in New York and Paris), so it was a fairly expensive and important ensemble. I think it really shows the fashion lines of the mid 1900s in all of its peak Edwardian-ness. It really captured my eye when I first saw it on Pinterest! At the time that I started making it, there was little information about it, but since then the museum has added a written description with further details (showing I've made some incorrect assumptions along the way, but oh well!).
The blouse took about 2 meters of plain cotton for the lining, and around 10 meters of different laces for the overlay, as well as some berry satin for the details. I don't have a pattern up for this on my Patreon, but I think Black Snail's #0816 Edwardian Blouse (blacksnailpatterns.com/en/products/0816-edwardianische-bluse-schnittmuster-grosse-eu-34-56-papierschnittmuster?pr_prod_strat=collection_fallback&pr_rec_id=e1dc7c2bf&pr_rec_pid=7830879109371&pr_ref_pid=7674228244731&pr_seq=uniform) could be adapted for something like this. There is an exclusive video over on Patreon that includes a discussion on materials and project planning, as well as links to some of the lace and materials.
