Hi. Meghan. I hope you are doing very well. I like to sew. I'm #victoriangoth fashion, I have been Gothic subculture in Toronto since early 90s.. I like #rococoera fashion, #victorianera . I think you're making is very nice. I want to say thank to sharing this video.

Great video , thank you 😊

Meghan, this is a wonderfully made video. Thank you! Recently, I laughed and shook my head when I saw Simplicity's "pettiskirt" pattern. Google says that a pettiskirt is a skirt fashioned in a way to resemble a petticoat. I'm shaking my head because skirts already resemble petticoats. Unlike pettipants, pettiskirt is a totally unnecessary portmanteau. I guess Simplicity is just trying to copy what Marie Antoinette did back in her day. 🤣🤣

For a long time cotton fabric was illegal in France. Because the king was lobbied by the silk and wool manufacturers to ban those.

Hi Meghan congratulations on you third video. I live about 2 miles away from Chawton House Jane Austen's last home. If you and Ken ever visited the UK it would be a terrific area to visit with a coffee shop opposite the house "Cassandra's Cup named after Austen's sister, Chawton House & Library previously owned by Austen's brother Richard. The Library books was mainly stocked thanks to a donation by Sandy Lerner, co founder of Cisco Systems and the fantastic Chawton Church. Best Wishes to yourself and Ken. C.J.H.

Magical Meghan.... The Seventeenth Century of fashion included the aigrette, a tuft of feathers held together by gemstones as well as farthingale, which is a hoop structure under a hoop skirt of the same time period... The mantua was a loose gown sashed or belted around the waist...But the sixteenth-century dresses referred to 'bases', knee-length skirts specifically worn by men over their armor.... If my memory is correct, the concept of the actual 'Dress' was developed by the early Romans for the battle Legions, it gave Roman Soldiers the agility of movement in battle at nearly three and sixty degrees... Go and See the movie Gladiator starring Russell Crowe or the Movie Three Hundred, those types of battle skirts are technically correct... Meghan, you are the expert, so as a guy I read widely and as a writer, I create textures for characters... This vlog is Excellent... I am so glad you created this depth of fashion information... I now know where I can go online for more fashion education.... the end.... Always in Good Taste... CHEERS!.... Be Supportive and Subscribe...PS... Meghan, I can also recommend your viewers download pdf free... Fashion The Definitive History of Costume and Style.... It covers from six hundred CE all the way to the modern 1980s.... I encourage you to download it for your interest...

New sub here. You are very talented. Keep up the great work.

That's was a very unique way of thanking the algorithm 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the chemise a la reine is quite beautiful and I’d love to make one myself. It’s interesting that it was basically taken from the dress of slaves though. That’s always something I wondered about: why is it that enslaved ppl in the colonies wore white. When I look at photos from the 1900s of enslaved ppl from my country (Caribbean country)they’re all wearing white (or lighter colours) but some slave owners(some I’m sure were creole which referred to white ppl born in the Caribbean so far as I recall) wore black or darker colours which I think was the fashion of the time. I guess it’s something to research for myself at some point tho…I suppose logically it’s the heat but I’m curious the meaning of the colour at the time. After watching this, I really want to make a chemise a la reine by hand myself. It seems like a fun if not daunting project

I love your version and it definitely was no underwear with all those layers this is my favorite too I too have something in common with her our soul numbers add up the same way ,go figure

Can you please tell where you obtained the cotton lawn you made your gown from?

Nice 👍

The Chinz gowns fashion started much earlier and the Chinz material was also produced in India and has little to do with the muslin production. Clean eating was not invented then! It was the normal way of living 😂 we lost it in the second half of the twentieth century. Especially in the US.

LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA IS A GOOD IDEA...YOU LOOK OFF TO MY LEFT SHOULDER. PERHAPS A MASK OR SOMETHING AROUND THE LENSE SO YOU NATURALLY WANT TO LOOK AT US? JUST A WELL MEANT SUGGESTION.

Good job. Lots of information. But... Sperm whales are toothed whales. They do not have baleen. This was an easily avoidable mistake. You took such care with other information but completely boofed that. It knocks your credibility when you discuss authentic materials.
