EASY MEDIEVAL PEASANT DRESS (AND CHEMISE) 

Your advice at the end was so good - “don’t be a perfectionist so you can get stuff done” 🤓😂 Thanks for such an awesome video!!

4:49 omg 😭 thank you… I’m new to sewing and until now I feel like _no one_ has said “the curves on the front and back won’t match up” and I’ve been going through mock up after mock-up driving myself nuts

Historically accurate. I'm over here with a $1 bedsheer from goodwill that has stains on the bottom

Once i make this i will be wearing it every day

If anyone wants it’s fitted at the front but doesn’t know how to draft a pattern for it, do it with the rectangles then put it on inside out and make it’s fitted near the waist and super tight under the bust (gives it some bust support) and then the front lacing too. You can change how tight it is. Also embroidery thread makes doing the eyelets so much quicker!

Hmmm... you've probably figure out by now, but for any newbies -- you don't actually RIP a hole for eyelets. You use an awl (which, while pointy, is not a cutting tool), and you widen a space between the fibers. Then the eyelet stitching holds that space open and prevents distortion.

You explained this so well and made it feel really approachable, even for a beginner! It looks gorgeous! I also appreciate the reminder to just try things, even if they aren't perfect. To me, the feeling of a garment I made myself is far superior to anything I could buy. And the quality is almost always better than fast fashion. If you do eyelets again, try an awl instead of a seam ripper. It will part the threads instead of breaking them, leading to stronger and neater looking eyelets. I'm still working on getting them pretty too. They're just so much cooler looking and feeling than metal eyelets, even if they aren't perfect!

This green 😍 dress is awesome,.. I would make a few the same in different colours, and you can wear it with a nice apron, or a little shorter skirt over it,.. or a waist band with different colours braids.. I wear every day selfmade long skirts.. and is so feminine..

OMG! I had been driving myself crazy over how to dress up the ren fair chemise I just bought! Thanks to your simple rectangle/triangle simplifications, I'm going to make a little "overdress " from an AMAZING fabric remnant I found! Your instructions helped me so much! I've already cut out a muslin rough draft, once I tweak it, I'll make my garment. I have so much confidence to tackle it because of this video! I will post a picture when it's finished!! 😃 BTW, I haven't sewn anything since home-economics class back in the 80s... that's how confident I'm feeling after watching this!

ok now i feel like i could actually do this! been wanting to make a kirtle for a couple years and u make it seem possible!

Ok but this came out so well?!! I love the color and even without the fourth gore it still looks really full. It’s beautiful!!

Thank you soo much for this video. I'm new to sewing and had no idea where to start for a medival dress. Thanks to your video I just finished my own medival dress 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you . your drawings and explanations are easy to follow and much appreciated.

turned out gorgeous!

So simple, and so pretty! I definitely want to make this!

I love the patterns. And I will definitely be making these!!!

What a beautiful mossy green!

Looks great! I may try this in the future THANK YOU for the easy tutoria;

Love your patterned tile flooring ❤

Really really love how everything came together in the end! You're so creative! 🧡🧡

Thank you so much for this! I’m going to a medieval themed halloween dinner, so this is perfect!

I have watched so many videos on making a shift dress this is the first one that made sense Good work, good project

This so pretty and well explaind i must try it out, thank you ♥️♥️🥰😍

Honey absolutely adorable.... Thank you for the video..... Just what I was looking for.... You are so pretty!!!!

You did amazing! I love this

You look so lovely in such dress and aesthetic

wow it turned out so cute

Very cute! Great instruction!

It's super cute I like it!

That is so cool! A am a beginner at sewing and I was a little scared to do something besides little pouches, but now I really want do something like this ❤ ❤ ❤

Great dress and Great job.

OMG! This is perfect. I can't wait to get some material. I was looking at dresses on line, but this is way better. Thank you. Going to a Ren faire next months.

Try using buttonhole stitch on the eyelets in the future. It's really sturdy if done right.

Thanks for sharing. I liked the wee Ouran High School Host Club cameo :)

This is awesome! I love the pattern walk through, I'm going to give this a go myself!

Beautiful dress🥰

Love it ♥ 👍 Good job !

Thank you It looks amazing

This was very helpful, thank you!

WTH! Amazing. Love the video and dress is awesome!! New subscriber from Florida

It's adorable!

Nice and beautiful ! Thank you !!

Really nice! Thank you!!

blanket stitch might be great to learn to do for your eyelet holes :)

I love this! New to sewing and this is really helpful and now I'm gonna give it a try! And your advise in the end is something I just realized a week or two ago because I'm bad at being scared of messing up and end up not doing anything. So hearing you say that just kinda reassured me.

Nice work!

Thank you for sharing dear 🏵️

This is super cute! It also looks like it was kind of a quick project, very nice! Keep it up :)

Fantastic!

Nice job!

Ouran Host Club!!!! Love this

sooo nice 🙂

This was great. I made a shift but my fabric was stiff, and the result wasn't very comfortable... but I love your drawings and explanations of the measurements. Very well done! 👏 🎉

Grazie per questo modello. Veramente bello. Sei brava! si capisce bene con i disegni perché non parlo inglese👍🙏🏼

awesome!!!

Thank you so much ❤

Love ❤

I liked your diagrams :) although I already knew what the stitch was so I can’t tell you if it’s helpful lol

0:19 after I finish the gown I will exactly match that picture. Both the clothes and the body posture. XD

Nice ☺️ Imagine they sewed all by hand. One person probably didn’t have more than one garment

I have a question about the gussets, I have made a T tunic before using this method, but I found the gussets puckered under the arms, yours look nicely fitted. Do you have advice on how to avoid the bulky underarms when making a garment like this?

Hello, I really loved the dress, but can u plssss tell me what stitch u you used

I love it, it's so simple and beautiful. One question, do you have the pattern? I can't see it right on video

how long across the bottom are your gores for the outer dress?

i gave the first like

3:29 for the dress section

for the chemise pattern, how wide should the base of the triangles be?

You had 3 large triangles. Where does the 3rd one get attached?

That eyelet in only one layer of fabri is likely to rip out in only one wear.

CHIC

2:07 The verb is to fell 😅 You fell the seam, it is felled

I spy Ouran High School Host Club

I have a question, did you use 3 or 4 of the triangle thingys? In your sketch it says 3 but you said later in the video you added one to the front as well. I my mind the one in the front would be kind of hard to do in combination with the lacing? Or does it stop a bit below that?

You look so feminine unlike the “fashions” of today’s clothing. Well done!💜💜💜

You're like a Micarah Tewers who thinks her audience is actually going to make the garment lol

no sub titles do not help

Unterrock falsch, Schuhe falsch, Gürtel falsch und das Klimbim über der Hüfte haben Frauen im Mittelalter nicht getragen. Man sollte sich erstmal informieren, bevor man so was zeigt.
