Making a Gown Inspired by Meg March from Greta Gerwig’s Little Women Redthreaded 2020-04-07 | #ad Hooray, a ballgown making-of video inspired by Greta Gerwig’s Little Women! Back in February, I was invited by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to take part in a fun project to celebrate the release of Greta Gerwig's Little Women on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. I've made a ball gown inspired by Meg March as depicted in the film, drawing inspiration from the Academy Award-winning costume design of Jacqueline Durran. Watch for a (mostly) step by step process of the making-of!

Taking a Pattern from an Extant Garment - Sports Corselet is Back! Redthreaded 2021-02-01 | In this demo I show a couple of ways to take a pattern off of an existing garment, with tips, tricks, and ramblings along the way. A couple notes: this is assuming a garment that you own, and that is a study piece or isn't "precious." If you're planning to take patterns from garments in historical collections that are not your own, you should confer with the curator about the methods they would prefer. For highly valuable, rare, and fragile garments, a system of measuring and re-drafting is the most low-impact option.To learn more about the corset shown, please watch our video here: youtu.be/V5FAjGaK8DU Shop our corsets & stays here: redthreaded.com/collections/historical-corsets-ready-to-shipShop our patterns to make your own here: redthreaded.com/collections/make-your-own-corsetsSupport us on Patreon to help us make more videos like this here: patreon.com/RedthreadedSign up for our email list here: http://eepurl.com/coqjPLFollow us on Facebook & Instagram!

Trunk Shows - Behind the Scenes! Redthreaded 2019-10-26 | This month's video is a bit different.
