Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
Following on from my deep dive into historical influences in one of Taylor Swift's costume outfits from the Eras Tour, I tackled making my own version of the Tortured Poet's Department set. As mentioned in the video, I used approximately 3 meters of silk taffeta for this, an under a meter of heavier linen and cotton canvas for the stays, as well as around 8 meters of poly black ribbon, 6 meters of petersham ribbon for the stays binding, and a lot of silk thread. Most of the materials were already from the stash, which is why the stays are technically of a different fabric than the petticoat.
For patterns, I used the Ella Stays by Lunneth (etsy.com/uk/listing/1220597813/digital-sewing-pattern-18th-pair-of and you can see her profile here instagram.com/lunneth_/?hl=en)- and I actually cut out a clip where I showed a very similar pattern in Patterns of Fashion 5, showing though some patters may seem only historically inspired, they can have very solid historical roots. As long as the shape seems right to you, don't be put off by labels! Over all, I really enjoyed the pattern, but I would warn to do a mock-up and really spend time on it (I didn't have much time, which I will explain in the next video...).
I am pretty pleased with this project, I think the end result looked great and it referenced the original inspiration with historical twists well! However... stay tuned for the next video 👀
