How is this bodice actually made? // 1900s Fashion is Complicated!

Attending a formal event (which I did not want to attend). My dress was back closing (My other formal gown was at the cleaners.) My companion had to drop out at the last moment (legitimate reason - I wasn't mad at the friend). I arrived in the parking lot, still unfastened. I parked at the edge of the lot and accosted the first passerby to do up my dress. It was a lovely older couple who did not stop laughing and would burst into giggles every time our eyes met at the event.

I am so impressed with your attention to the smallest detail when you recreate a historical dress. I must admit that would never have made the bottom ruffle graduated like the original. The ruching is gorgeous.

I just lost my job for the fourth time in a year and a half, so I now have plenty of time to sew, sew, sew! I’m hoping to complete several unfinished projects, including actually finishing a dress 😅

20:05 One thing I have found helpful with searching in cases like this is reverse image searches. If you crop it to where it's only the lace you're looking for, you may not find that exact lace, but you may find similar ones and look at their names. Also helps for finding stuff in other languages. Although, embroidering your own lace sounds a lot better

That's such a ginormous project. "Complicated" is an understatement. Great job, not just the gown, but also filming/editing/producing/etc. so I can enjoy your process! Thanks Rebecca. Meow. Woof.

That wide lace is bonkers! It looks like they just stuck the extra bits inside the bodice. 💜

It’s so satisfying to rip fabric like that, I can tell you’re enjoying it!

Boy, WOW! They really supplied you with some insanely detailed pictures! This is so COOL!

The construction of the bodice is hurting my brain!! I'm sure you will figure it out a good way to do it! Even if you end up waiting to find something that will work better.

I'm loving watching this project 😍😁💕. Interesting to see the museum inspiration and your beautiful interpretation.

Why is that ripping so satisfying?

It fascinates me that tou can look at that image and understand how the bodice was constructed. I have looked at many insides of bodices both irl and online, and sometimes I wonder how they thought about some of the closelures that they did. I suppose you have experience though. I can't wait to see the finished product because this is quite a complex project. I hope you find the right lace for it.

Would it be completely crazy to appliqué little flowers on the point d’esprit? It looks like you have them pretty spaced out in the machine embroidery sample, so it might not be too bad to hand sew the flowers to the netting. You could source the appliqués from some trim or other lace.

Yummy all that lovely purple binding! 💜👾 ☺️ Glad you received the extra pictures! And so nice of your fellow costumer to send the lace. 💞 The inside picture has me stumped too ( which is not hard 😅) but I know you will figure it out. 👍😁

Up at the top of the collar, if you didn't want to do a tulle edge(understandable) for comfort sake but still wanted that frilled look you could try .. adding a small strip of fabric that frays around the edge and then just pull out the warp threads when the seam is finished so it has a thread frill? Idk if I'm explaining that very well, I'm sure there's an actual name/term for it.. kinda like tufting or a turkey stitch but just a single line of it? Either way I'm sure you'll figure it out

This will be a very beautiful dress when completed!!!😍😍😍❤

I think it is called bobbinette lace.

A shout-out to Cynthia Amneus, the Chef Curator of the Cincinnati Museum of Art's Fashion Arts and Textiles Collection, who sent you the additional pictures.

That insert trim that is only down the front and on the arm, I think it may be silverwork.

Ooooooo more pictures!!

Try searching for embroidered bobbinet lace. I found several examples.

If the embroidered net lace utilizes a chain stitch, it might be tambour embroidery.

Would it be worth considering using bridal tulle as a stabiliser instead of washable plastic stabiliser?

I believe its called bobinet lace!

Doesn’t your sewing machine have a blind hem stitch? It would certainly look better than having a clear topstitching line on future projects.

Seems like Dora was saying "MOM!!! Its Play time, NOW! Cats and their weird quirks. I wish I had some advice to help with the dress, but the issues you are having are beyond my knowledge. Best of luck!

Whoa is that a beauty and the beast stained glass dress?!? Where did that come from?

regarding the ruffle, I would have hemmed it and skipped all that bias tape!

9:27 does your machine not have a hem stitch? Is there another reason not to do a machined hem stitch?

That front triangle shape is not as much as a triangle as it looks becouse it's verry gathered in the bottom and seem to be sewed down even behinde the blue strip next to it. Hard to describe

I think the lace was more tumeric than tea

I am curious why you are not using straight tape on the edges of the ruffle as the ruffle piece does not curve.

Toille Lace

you could also simply hand embroider the motifs

Dora!!

I’m really enjoying your educational content. It resonates with me in many ways. If you don’t mind a suggestion or two, I’d like to share with you some things that distract from your videos. I learned this from my speech teacher many years ago. Firstly, you speak too much with your hands. This takes away from watching your face, which is far more interesting to watch your emphasis on your subject. For those individuals who have to read lips, it’s difficult for them to keep their eye on you, and not your hands. Secondly, a stationery camera makes for a much better quality of video and use of your hands. This will prevent the shaking of the scenes you are presenting. Your contact is very useful and quite necessary for individuals who want to produce quality garments. I commend your courage in producing videos and encourage you to continue.

Cats, lol. They can be such stinkers, but we can’t help loving them.

i think the only bad part about this video is being autistic im very sense sensitive and ripping fabric goes through my brain as actual physical pain and a mom and two kittens were sitting on my remote so i couldnt skip that cause i was trying to find it. i mean.. it is obvious why but i really dont understand why people like that sound.. even ignoring the fact it hurts to hear i dont know whats pleasing about it lmao. wont knock people enjoying it but its just something i dont share the same opinion on

Your makeup in this video is beautiful!! As always the content is so much fun to watch and very helpful as I struggle through my own projects
