Little Women Inspired 1860s Wrapper Gown || A Dress for Beth March Dames a la Mode 2020-04-07 | Thank you to Greta Gerwig’s Little Women and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for sponsoring this delightful project! Greta Gerwig's Little Women is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, and to mark the occasion Sony asked me to create a dress inspired by Beth March! I decided to make Beth a typical 1860s wrapper gown. This newly released version of Little women includes over 45 minutes of bonus features, including a deep dive into Jacqueline Durran's Oscar-winning costumes for the film.I am not alone in this endeavor! All four March gals got a new dress, so check out my "sisters" and their creations:Redthreaded as Meg: youtube.com/channel/UCoVgyEruqAMbaUixPGyI5HAAngela Clayton as Amy: youtube.com/channel/UChyWv5fy8utAWVhRPVV85XQRachel Maksy as Jo: youtube.com/channel/UCJI86v9et-IZd1KJSfahN8g__________ Costume Details:Pattern: KayFig Lady's Wrapper (KF611): figleafpatterns.com/index.htmlFabric: Silk Sarcenet with a lining of Cotton Sateen, both from Burnley and Trowbridge: burnleyandtrowbridge.com___________See more Dames a la Mode:My reproduction historical jewelry shop: damesalamode.comInstagram: instagram.com/dames_a_la_modeFacebook: facebook.com/damesalamodeYoutube: youtube.com/channel/UCU-6G2XW_aJh6_FkoiI-T1QSupport my channel by buying me a "coffee" on Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/damesalamodeMy historical sewing resources on Amazon (these are affiliate links):amazon.com/shop/dames_a_la_mode

I made spats using plastic wrap & it actually worked! Edwardian Sewing Experiment gone RIGHT! Dames a la Mode 2021-09-01 | Hi friends! Here was my experiment making spats using a pattern I made out of plastic wrap! Several people on Instagram commented that stabilizing the pattern with masking tape once you had it wrapped made it easier to handle. I didn't try that but it may help if you find your pattern is stretching/distorting when you're trying to cut it off. The shoes are "Bernadettes" from American Duchess: americanduchess.com/collections/edwardian-shoes-and-boots/products/bernadette-edwardian-oxfords-tan-brown?variant=35772461744278The wool, buttons, linen tape, and hooks & eyes all came from Burnley and Trowbridge: burnleyandtrowbridge.comMusic used:Brooklyn BurgersSophisticated LadySunny Side UpWish You Were ThereAll of the above by Golden Age RadioClumsy Chevalier by The Fly Guy FiveDirt Floor Boogie and Tablespoons by Martin LandstromOther places to see my work:My historical jewelry shop: damesalamode.comMy Instagram: instagram.com/dames_a_la_modeMy Facebook: facebook.com/damesalamodeSupport my content via Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/damesalamodeMy Amazon page with my favorite historical costuming tools and references (these are affiliate links - I will receive a small incentive if you purchase via one of my links - thank you!): amazon.com/shop/dames_a_la_mode
