This new adventure was a spur of the moment break from my long term projects. My friend mentioned a cool May day event at Kentwell Hall (my first even with living history and I loved it!) and I thought I should whip up a quick dress, but of course, it should be a 16th century Tudor style kirtle. Plus, I had this blue fabric in my stash and I had recently acquired the wonderful book 'Typical Tudor', so I was really excited to make something from it! It was so useful to have such thoughtful and helpful research at my fingertips, I really loved this book and all the attention and detail that went into it. Now that I've discovered lacing rings, I may never go back.

I feel this! I have about three projects going all at once always.

@Raayvhen Год назад

I've been wanting to make one of these forever. Perhaps I'll take a break from my current project as well....

@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar Год назад

Same!

@TheFeralFarmgirl Год назад

You can use the brass rings made for roman shades as lacing rings. A lot of people use those for lacing rings, because they are cheaper. They come in plastic too, but I prefer metal.

@nataliestanchevski4628 Год назад

Wow, one day we'll be calling you Dr. Cat! Best wishes on your PhD journey. I love the kirtle, the blue mystery fabric is so striking.

@KenZchameleon Год назад

If you haven't found her channel, Morgan Donner has done some kirtles. I love this blue, the pleats, and the overall style. Well done!

A woman after my own heart. Linings.... "I dont know, i cant be bothered" 😂😂❤❤ thats what i tell my hubby all the time. 🤣🤣🤣

@BethAge95 Год назад

Lovely kirtle! I think it's great that you used a fabric from your stash and still constructed it quite historically correct despite the modern fabric! Also the fork pleating method looked so cool! Have to try that!

@meamela9820 Год назад

This was so inspiring! I made a kirtle in purple a few months back and learned a couple things watching this. I am fascinated about the shoulder strap angle: I realised myself that it needs to be slightly angled even if it looks straight when worn, but I should probably made it more angled like your pattern. Also fascinated by the lacing rings. I didn't realise that was an actual thing! I'm so glad I know that now! And that blue is gorgerous! It's my favorite type of blue.

@mewennm4387 Год назад

This dress is lovely and the blue gives me Belle from Beauty & the Beat flashbacks. Interesting eyelet construction and overall dress construction, thank you for showing us that. And you are right, it is flattering and you look lovely in it.

@NerdXertz Год назад

Anybody else notice how Cat's accent had more Scottish after she got back from her trip? I love it. I do the same thing and don't notice until someone tells me.

@vivianramsay2527 Год назад

I appreciate that you are using the fabric you have rather than insisting on period correct fabrics. The period styles lend themselves to many body shapes and sizes that can surely fit in current lifestyles with fun twists in fabric ! Really enjoyed your demonstration ! Thank you for sharing!

@liav4102 Год назад

Super cute! I wonder how much better you would have liked the neck line if you made all the adjustments at the fold 🤔

@diamondslashranch Год назад

You look amazing in that dress! Make another 4 or 5 right away😂 I know easier said than done but definitely need more.

@stefaniegiglio Год назад

It reminds me of Belle’s dress from Beauty and the Beast! I love the side lacing

@BrooklynneMichelle Год назад

You had me at blue! This turned out so beautifully. I have to now convince myself that I do not need to add this to my projects!

@vintagecameragirl Год назад

I struggle so much with eyelets, they hurt my hands, so this would be such an easier way of closing. Thank you! I never even thought of this!

@sarahhunter2855 Месяц назад

I’ve been searching for information on a dress of this time period and class, it’s so hard to find things! But this video helped me so much, I’m planning to make a red wool kirtle soon 🤞

@debcarroll8192 Год назад

The kirtle is so gorgeous on you! I love the side lacing! I think I see a kirtle in my future...

@DebbieGring Год назад

Cat, your kirtle is absolutely darling! You look awesome in it. Once I get into my own space I may try one too! Love the color, looks great on you!

@kateatschool Год назад

It looks great and actually would work quite well as a history bounding look

@kathleenmayer2729 Год назад

The blue looks so beautiful on you. Great dress!!

@maudline Год назад

That colour is gorgeous on you!

@Lammstrellicon Год назад

Love the color of the fabric, reminds me of some cotton bunting I have 🤔

@jkabholat Год назад

Happy to see you 😊

@Needleandfur Год назад

You know I have just finished my kirtle (from the same book) and I have the urge to make another one! If I do I might try those rings, as I now know I have miss-interperted the metal rings! I used parts of grommets that I placed INSIDE the dress and hand sewed the eyelets that way. I took my reference from the front cover. But I have loved watching you make a very similar dress it looks lovely and that blue is to die/dye for 😁

@PepperReed214 Год назад

Nicely done. I made a similar Elizabethan kirtle, pattern by Margo Patterns. Used similar metal lacing rings & loved them.

@sarabarnes7189 Год назад

Please tell me you have access to that window at 13:35 for future content! It made such a glorious backdrop to your sewing. Also, closed captioning doesn't understand the word "kirtle" and that made for some hilarious captions. "Crystals, commercials, you can't go wrong with Carlos" LOL

@sarahwatts7152 Год назад

The color works so well with the simplicity of the design

@noreenroche5294 Год назад

Such a flattering fit. Very pretty

@robintheparttimesewer6798 Год назад

Lovely!! The colour is wonderful. I also love your thought process. It’s way better than mine! Of late all breaks from long term projects are because something breaks! It’s not restful

@brandyloutherback9288 Год назад

Kirtles are so versatile! Lower Class Tudor women must have worn very few garments!

@angeladent4175 Год назад

Looks amazing, think I might need one in my wardrobe!

@makeda6530 Год назад

I always love everything you make but this cobalt kirtle is just, sis, I am IN LOVE! It is stunning, looks comfy and stylish~. Maybe I can procrastinate something else but I don’t think I have enough for something that length, hmm.

@lindajensen1959 Год назад

That is a beautiful kirtle!!! It is very flattering on you!!!

@cquarman Год назад

Kentwell is amazing. You fitted right in.

@TaylorRyanKitterman Год назад

Omg this is basically that yellow “lute player” dress!! I’ve been dreaming about making it recently. It’s a baroque painting, but still a very similar silhouette.

@NoraRoisin 11 месяцев назад

I love how well you summarise things throughout the video! It's very clear and straightforward and no fluff. :) This has somewhat sold me on trying a side-lacing kirtle (or something like it); I'd seen some years ago and liked how they looked. I have no idea how soon I'll get to it, though. ^.^

@waterbitten Год назад

I'm wondering why you didn't use matching color thread? The blue is beautiful..

@CatsCostumery Год назад

I didn't have any! I wanted to use from stash and I've found it hard to source linen thread ☺️ I also noticed that in the book, a lot of mismatched linen thread!

@charlarp Год назад

Beautiful dress!! Love the colour 💕💕💕

@bubbles1850 Год назад

Ooooh I need like twelve of these!

@ceragowans Год назад

Such a lovely project!

@ladyjusticesusan Год назад

Thank you for posting. Beautiful work.

@hollysoap8473 Год назад

Always wanted to make one thank you for showing I love your coffee cup

@juniperjr2017 Год назад

Lovely make! I've had a kirtle-inspired dress on my list for a while, but it's so out of my wheelhouse. I also don't have any cool events to wear it to where I live. 😢

@octaviaravenstorm189 Год назад

Love your videos!

@MichelleSMV Год назад

Gosh the kirtle looks so comfy! I really like that it’s supportive tho cuz I hate bras lol. I suppose this could be something to make up in future lol

@Kelli.Hicks.5 Год назад

This looks so comfy.

@sarahpolk2450 10 месяцев назад

I love the simplicity.

@sarahmwalsh Год назад

Love it!! And oh my gosh truly the perfect setting for it.

@honey_seafoam3536 Год назад

I looks so good!! I love the color!

@frostywych9374 Год назад

Omg I love your cup

@janielamie7697 Год назад

So pretty, the style & color

@farangarris2598 Год назад

So well done. Its beautiful.

@emilenegalvin Год назад

I love how it turned out ❤

@katecapek3116 Год назад

Now I want one!

@mrs.knecro7044 Год назад

This came out so cute! I’ve been having a bit of a break from sewing. I’ve done some hand mending… maybe I need another hand sewing project

@mothersuperior6751 Год назад

Lovely. Well done.

@joclark3702 Год назад

Try taking an inch out of the front of the pattern and adding it under the arms to keep the width of the pattern. That should move the straps in a little more.

@DLBard-bv2nd Год назад

I agree that the shoulder straps look a bit wide for your body width. The dress turned out beautifully. 💞

@ushere5791 Год назад

lovely!

@wanya_telborn Год назад

Obsessed ❤❤❤

@LMarjoleinM Год назад

Cat..you have been playing junes journey for many years, yet are still stuck in the garden?😂 my game was deleted when i was already in france. Had to redo every level and i believe i am in italy now, but havent played in a while, so i am afraid to look. Love the dress as always. Trying to make a medieval kirtle myself. But tutor will now be added to the making list. Lots of love M.

@CatsCostumery Год назад

I switched from Apple to Play Store and I lost all my progress 😭 I'm well further ahead but wanted to show an early one so it made sense to anyone just starting 🤣

@KelseyDrummer Год назад

My UFO pile is out of control. My favourite part is cutting out, therefore I have like 5 cut out projects....😂

@amandamarquart2047 Год назад

Our powers combined we can finish a project! I hate the cutting process. I’ve literally thought so many times “I wish there was a service that sends you precut pieces” lol.

@KelseyDrummer Год назад

@@amandamarquart2047 Hahaha that would be hilarious. Like the sisterhood of the traveling project.

@stevezytveld6585 Год назад

Absolutely lovely. Well done. I have a hand-sewn kirtle in my future - in the meantime, thanks for the educational pre-view of the steps I'll eventually be working through. The lacing rings are a godsend... thank you. By-the-by - I've entered the Foundations Revealed competition in the Apprentice category under my full name of Cathy MacDonald-Zytveld.

@michellecornum5856 Год назад

Lacing rings.

@theverbind Год назад

Hi Cat! what PhD program are you in right now? Also big Belle vibes in the castle with the books!

@CatsCostumery Год назад

I'm in a PhD candidate in a midlands university in the UK ☺️

@theverbind Год назад

@@CatsCostumery That's so coool! I really look up to you and Serena Dyer as awesome dress historians and material culture folks. I hope one day I can do my PhD on something like this. If you ever want to talk about your research in a video I'd be so interested to hear more :)

@JO-rx4tk Год назад

Is that mustard/marigold colored sweater at the 17:00 mark crochet? It looks crocheted to me!

@elianaweiner4665 Год назад

Cat, where did you get your interlining? I’m not in the UK but maybe you can give me an idea of where I can find it. I’m having a lot of trouble finding any that is fusible, which I would love to get!

@leemacdonald2329 Год назад

Great video but I do have 2 questions if I may. 1: Is is an early Tudor kirtle or later? 2: Your enlargement looks like a pdf pattern? Is it or did you do this yourself? If so may I ask how?

@pippaseaspirit4415 Год назад

Just FYI, doublet is pronounced “dub let”, it’s a brother of the singlet. (From single and double.)

@smpayne2 Год назад

This garment should have negative ease, how much can depend on individual squishability. It does look like you need to take some out of the center front. I like machine button holes vs lacing rings because the cording doesn’t slip as much when I’m lacing it closed.

@sarahpolk2450 10 месяцев назад

Do you have some pockets?

@melanieanddavideccles895 Год назад

Hi Cat, I subscribed recently and I want to let you know that I love your channel and it's content, but I am having real issues with not being able to see your eyes for the lights reflecting off of your glasses. Please fix this or I won't be able to watch you any more. Looking into the flashing lights reflecting off of your glasses makes me physically ill. Thanks Cat!
