In this episode, I walk you through the process of making a LOTR elven dress set in the Victorian era. In honour of the excitement around the release of the new Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power, I decided to sew an ensemble that could fit well either during Victorian times, or in another Elf-inhabited fantasy world. Because I wear historical fashion as my everyday clothing, I wanted to make this outfit extremely wearable, that way I can keep enjoying these pieces as a part of my wardrobe for many years to come.
I hope you will enjoy watching this video!
