In this video I tackle my fear of chiffon and chemise dresses to make a glorious metallic pink historically inspired confection.
✩ Things mentioned ✩
The fabric was all from Fabric Mart
I used the Musée de la Toile de Jouy Chemise a la Reine as a visual reference for drafting. But I added ruffles for obvious reasons.
The pattern mentioned (not favorably) from an earlier attempt is from this book (this is an affiliate link): amzn.to/3znombB
