Juul Thijssen | How I Saved My Curvy Victorian Corset From The Trash @JuulThijssen | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 30 minutes ago.
Are you even part of CosTube if you don't have a video busting corset myths? I'm not sure if this 'busty corset miss' counts, but here is a video of me messing up and then saving my curvy Victorian corset from the trash. I can tell you, it came out REALLY PRETTY (and I didn't die)!

#RefromDressChallenge PLEASE READ BELOW FOR INFO!
**If you are missing the sound in this video, youre not wrong! I seem to have made some editing mistake and most of the audio is lost on this video. Call it ironic, because a couple of years ago I lost all my sound as well when I became deaf... So I hope you will forgive this humble deaf Costuber this sound-mistake, and still enjoy the video!**
My friend Fanny and I were very inspired by the early 1900s reform- and artistic dress movements, and both wanted to make a garment in this style. We found out that there is a contemporary pattern that makes it very easy to do so, and thought it would be the perfect historical sewing/ history bounding/ quarantine loungewear project for a sewing challenge. Hence, #ReformDressChallenge was born!
For my own reform dress, I am first designing my concept and dyeing my fabric, which can be seen in this part one video. The link to part two: https://youtu.be/eKcYoMK630s
To join the challenge, make your own reform or artistic dress and share your progress and results using the hashtag #ReformDressChallenge. Tagging Fanny @fannyfahdenfroh and or me @juulvictoria is also highly appreciated! We are on Instagram and YouTube, but feel free to spread the word on any platform. The pattern, or cutting diagram, that we use can be found as a PDF on Fannys blog, which is linked below along with several other informative sources:

I recently took up bobbin lace, and decided to restore my antique bobbin lace roll pillow. Watch me blunder through making it pretty again! (Disclaimer: do not watch if you are a professional repairperson of antique things, it will probably hurt.)
