Sewstine | Making a Celestial Gown Fit for a Queen || Sewing an Edwardian Ball Gown Part 1: The Skirt @Sewstine | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
It was such a blast to make this gown with my friend Astraea! Be sure to check her out at tiktok.com/@queen_astraea and on YT @Queen_Astraea , as well as her instagram: instagram.com/queen_astraea
Contest Rules: Must be over 14 years old, live in a country that allows mail. To enter, answer the question I ask in the video, and wait one week. On 4/6/2024, I'll pick three comments at random and respond with instructions on how to get your prize.
In this video, I talk about the plan of making this 1901-1903 dress, the ideas that Astraea and I had. I then go into the history of Charles Worth and his House of Worth. I do go into the history of dresses and how it really is the history of women's work that was then usurped by Worth, and how fashion has never recovered from this. After that, I look in detail inot the dresses that Astraea picked, and then I make the dress, using machine embroidery, digitization, metallic threads, and a lot of hand sewing! Finally, Astraea will put on the dress and show us how it looks on!
