![Making a Silver & Brown Renaissance Gown | Vlog | Part One
Im happy to be introducing you to my simple little weekend project that turned into a 10 day project and has more than 150 pieces in the sleeves alone.
(And yes, the fact the grain on the paned portions is wrong will haunt me forever. The worst part is I did tests to see if it had a directional grain and decided it didnt because it was less prominent in artificial lighting.)
Also - there is no mention of recent events in this video (though recent events have really just sparked a discussion about problems plaguing the US for centuries). This was filmed over a month ago - and I ultimately like my content to be an escape from the rest of the world.
I’ve never used the community tabs on youtube before and thought it would be disingenuous to start now. However Ive been pretty vocal about my stance on instagram - I dont think people should be treated differently because of the color of their skin. Black lives matter. Police brutality is wrong. I have nothing but respect for protestors and have donated to numerous BLM and police accountability charities. And would encourage people to do the same - here is a link! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn
I dont tend to talk about politics on social media, but this isnt a political issue. Its a human rights issue. In the same vein, I also want to make it clear that I support people of all orientations, genders, ages, races, religions, etc. and hope one day we can all be treated equally. Because none of those things change your value as a person, or how deserving you are of good things and happiness.
As long as you dont use your beliefs or preferences to put down others then I have nothing but respect for you. This is a channel about making historically inspired clothing, historical beliefs or values have no place here.

Just as a follow up on foundation, I appreciate recommendations but literally all liquid products oxidize on me. Ive put a dozen swatches on my cheek in sephora from all different brands and they have all turned bright orange or changed drastically in color after an hour. Im not sure if its my skin texture (I was on accutane several years ago and still suffer from very dry skin) or PH or something else...its bizzare. Thats why I dont use a liquid foundation and white mixer - I can get it to look my shade, but it doesnt stay that way.
Thicker formulas I have fewer issues with, but they dont tend to be dry skin friendly.
And powder foundations sit really badly on my skin.
The cream products are a bit heavier than Id like, but they are the only product ive EVER tried that gives me consist coverage and doesnt change shade on me. They also dont have fragrance (which breaks me out more than oil based products). If you have something else that works well for you, I wouldnt recommend them. But they are the only thing Ive tried and liked in the past 4 years!

If you want to make something similar with more research behind it, Id suggest looking into Paul Poriets work!
All the materials except for the gold trim (random etsy seller) and white lace (The Lace Place) were purchased in the Garment District. I know the beads were from beads world, as were most of the sequins. The pink brocade is from Zahra Fabrics and the netting is from Amin Fabrics. I honestly have no idea where everything else was purchased, theyve been in my collection for ages!

![Making an 1890s Sporting Jacket : Part One
This video goes through the beginning stages of making and designing a jacket that will be part of a 19th century cycling costume! More information about this project and video is listed down below!
PART TWO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTi7xfWS4lk
Blog post with more details about making this jacket: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2016/05/20/making-an-1890s-cycling-costume-part-one/
Materials used:
2 yards 13 oz Wool Herringbone in grey/black variation from http://organiccottonplus.com/
Buttons/Lining materials are from Jo-anns
References Used:
The Keystone Jacket and Dress Cutter (purchased on amazon)
59 Authentic Victorian Patterns (purchased on amazon)
a vintage issue of “The Lady” magazine from 1886
Other:
My dress form is from buystoreshelving.com
The pattern paper in this video is a roll of paper from the children’s section of ikea haha
the sleeve roll and tailors ham are dritz brand purchased from amazon.
Notes:
A more historically accurate way to stiffen the lapel and collar would be using hair canvas and stitching it in place with pad stitching. It makes the collar easier to form and more durable long term. Notes on that can be found in Authentic Victorian Dressmaking Techniques (as well as jacket fitting tips).
Also since someone always points it out - sewing over pins is bad! It’s a nasty habit I have and one I don’t work too hard to kick since it makes sewing so much faster. Personally i’ve only broken one or two needles that way in the entire time i’ve been sewing, so that isn’t a major concern of mine. But it isn’t something I would recommend doing!
As mentioned within this video the main fabric for this jacket was sent to me for review but all opinions are my own and I was not paid to promote the site or make this video!

Music is “Ballade no. 3 in A flat Major Op. 47” performed by Donald Betts and originally written by Frederic Chopin. It was acquired through Musopen and does not belong to me!
(speaking of music, sorry its loud at the end! I originally uploaded it with the song at 1% and you couldnt hear it at all. 3% is apparently too loud. Ill try 2% for part two!) Making an 1890s Sporting Jacket : Part One](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GtpZd1QUheo/mqdefault.jpg)

![Weekly Progress Log #2 : Sewing & Costumery
This week I work on an 1890s bodice, some crazy puffed sleeves, lots of beading, and an 18th century ensemble!
...
Soo this was filmed back in January. I edited it last month but never posted it since I felt it was kind of…boring, I guess? I get really critical when i’m out of the habit of doing something (especially with writing, which is why blogging is a constant battle) and over these past few weeks i’ve discovered I have a similar problem when it comes to editing. I’ve tried filming and editing several videos and haven’t been happy with them, even though they are similar to things i’ve posted and have received positive feedback on in the past. So that’s a big part of the reason why my channel has been empty recently.
But i’m trying to push through that! And I think posting this is my first step towards getting back into the “swing of things”. I have three videos filmed right now - a headpiece tutorial and two “Making of” videos about a medieval cotehardie.
Plus several videos that I plan on filming soon - including a video about my research process, a costume spotlight, and the promised etsy haul. I’m trying to focus personal projects right now, so I can’t promise weekly videos just yet but hopefully i’ll have something to post two or three times a month. I really appreciate the patience and i’m sorry i’ve been such a fail when it comes to posting so far this year!

Like most of my recent uploads, this video has been marked as not suitable for all advertisers. This means ads are less likely to play on it; and if they do, they will pay less.
It is also recommended less since the algorithm thinks it has violent or inappropriate content, leading to fewer lifetime views.
Ad revenue doesnt cover material costs for most projects featured in videos under the best of circumstances. With this one it probably wont even cover the cost of notions. Contributions really help with my motivation and actual ability to continue making videos.

By beginner books distributed by pattern companies, I meant books like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/31223301/vintage-mccalls-sewing-book-illustrated
I own that one, and would recommend it. But there are hundreds of variants out there by all the major brands from the 1920s - 1980s which are all pretty similar.
