Lingerie dresses were very popular throughout the Edwardian Era, and for good reason! This light weight lacy dresses were comfortable and cool in the summer heat, and the same is true today. These dresses are perfect for summer and I think I could use a few more in my wardrobe, so come with me while I make some comfy dresses for summer.

Medley of Jigs Antique Phonograph project
Pittsburg Daily Post from 1905:
Shirtwaist Suits for Southern Spring
But in new york french lingerie ceases to be a noun and becomes and adjective, signifying... the quality of being thin, light and fluttering. The lingerie frock is usually white, though it need not be. To blow lightly, trail softly and be somehow frou-frouy are it's essential qualifications
I finished my seams with a serger, but I wish that I had gone with french seams instead because the fabric is so light weight. I think this is going to be the shortest sewing montage ever because this pattern is so simple. Oh yep, and we're done.
because the pattern has very little fitting involved, the seams are minimal and pretty simple. It does have pockets though.
After my first insertion lace project, I'm kind of hooked, so I decided to do some on this dress as well, despite how time consuming it can be. I got curious about how long it actually takes so I decided to time the process.
It took about four minutes to do 65 inches worth of zigzag, and I was surprised to find that cutting the fabric away from the back of the lace took even longer After doubling it to account for the fact that you hhave to do everything twice for each piece of lace, I found that it takes about 11 or 12 minutes per yard!

I think belting the prairie dress would really elevate the look. A colorful ribbon, a leather belt, etc. Great job on all three! That repair was historically accurate too.

@arianewinter4266 Год назад

Yeah, usually you would have worn an apron with it most of the time

The second dress is actually how I make my Edwardian and Victorian blouses. A long dress I can use as both a petticoat and a blouse and it doesnt tend to ride up and be visibly revealing because it looks like a fluffy blouse when it does ride up.

That tater drawer rant was the most historically accurate thing on youtube today! lol. Bet you werent the first lady with that very problem.

@gigglepantsiii9350 2 года назад

I think you did just fine with your repair. As you said, clothes are for wearing, so long as the dress still fits the way you like, an extra seam isn't really anything to worry about [but maybe find a way to make that potato drawer less dangerous to brand new clothing]

@sewchaotic 2 года назад

A seersucker apron or pinafore would really compliment the cottagecore/prairiecore look of the prairie dress, and cover the patched section

I bought an Edwardian lingerie dress yesterday from an antique store!! The lady who owned the store wasn't sure what era exactly it was from, she guessed early 1900-1920, but I'm so happy that I found this video cos now I know for sure that it's Edwardian and now I'm super excited!!

@ShakespeareDoomsday 2 года назад

The discarded tier of the dress could become a skirt or an apron! I would personally wear a corset over the prairie dress.

@arianewinter4266 Год назад

Yeah, usually an apron goes above it and and if one does not like that, a tied on belt like oras Sophie dress would do nicely to elevate the look

@thevirtualtraveler 2 года назад

Side note, I think the "yellow" dress looks more off-white, but would be adorable if you were to dye it a brighter lemony yellow. Especially if the lace is synthetic b/c the cotton would dye and the lace would stay white. It would be so pretty!

@makadoodledoo 9 месяцев назад

synthetics can take dye too, but they take it differently

@donnajohnson3334 4 месяца назад

Ecru was done. Don't think lemon yellow was a thing, though I have seen Edwardian boy's ( bubble suits) in golden yellow. This style would've helped pregnant Ladies.

I love all three dresses. The first one looks marvelous and, as you said, different from the third one. I was surprised how *not* nightgown-like the second dress turned out to be. And great job with the repair. I also loved the fabric you used for the second dress, already decorated. I think the beautiful sleeves helped set it off. Making the third dress with just 2 tiers was just right, just beautiful. I love all your videos.

@Silly_Goose68 2 года назад

You look absolutely beautiful in all of them. Make a nice insertion lace belt to wear with the "night gown" dress and you will have a totally different feel to it. If you worry about the seam that is too obvious, you can create the same effect at the back and sew a piece of lace over the seam (not cutting it open) to cover the seam of the panel you have replaced. I actually loved the fact that you didn't replace the whole panel thus saving on fabric. Bit more historic. Love your channel. Thank you 🌸

@TheEconWoman 2 года назад

Doing a pattern twice or even more is also acting very sustainably. It is so wasteful to use a pattern once -then store it away never see the light of day again. 30 years from now you will have hundreds of patterns! I applaud you!

@katherinemorelle7115 2 года назад

I think the three tiers would work well on an ankle length dress. So having the top two tiers where they are on your dress, and having another underneath that reaches to the ankle. But with the mid calf length, two tiers is perfect! This video has really I spread me to play about with insertion lace. I’m also currently patterning my own shirtwaist/dress. Similar to the prairie dress, with a yoke and then gathered bodice. I’ll make two shirtwaists, one black and one white, buttoned down the front, and I’ll probably pin tuck the yoke, and then sandwich lace between the yoke and the gathered part. For the dress, I can just extend the gathered section to the ankle, and I’ll belt it at the waist. I’ll use a ditzy floral for the dress, I think. But now I also really want to figure out how to pattern the bodice from your first and third dresses, because it’s gorgeous! I’m too cheap to buy a pattern (plus getting them in my size is always a bit difficult, so I tend to draft everything myself). I’ve done an apron with that sort of shape before, so I reckon I can figure it out. I just have to have it! And I love the insertion lace going across the bodice like that. Thanks for the inspiration, but my wallet and my poor, massive future projects list are not thankful at all 😂

@katherinemorelle7115 2 года назад

And because I do tend to prefer separates over dresses for the most part, I think I’ll make the bodice as a shirtwaist, and then just pair it with a walking skirt. And maybe I should make a lacy, floofy white walking skirt from the same fabric, so I can make it look like a dress if I want. So many ideas!

@michellecornum5856 2 года назад

The hole!!! Isn't that always the way?! One of the first outfits I ever sewed was a teal pantsuit. I loved it. The hand was so soft and drapey, and the trim was maroon. I loved it. The first time I wore it, I went to my parents' house, and as I was coming out of their garage, I tripped and fell on some rocks and tore the knee of the pants. I was devastated! I had no more fabric. I recently found the pants, I may try to re-cut them as a skirt. Love these dresses!

@gloriastroedecke2717 2 месяца назад

I like the Prairie style dress because it gives options for wearing. Leaving the waist open as is, is great for air circulation in hot July and August. At other times of the year you can get a cinch ( corset or stays type ) belt. Not that you mentioned it but the dress gives strong immigrant vibes Scandinavian or Ukraine. I like that the dress is malleable to different vibes and ethnicities depending on accessories that accompany the dress.

Ooh, lovely dresses. I couldn’t stop myself from yelling ‘now don’t without the electric sewing machine!’ but loved them just the same. I don’t think the middle dress would fit into the category - it was a work/every day dress while the other design was definitely a going out dress or for taking tea! The repair was great - you could have made something more of a feature of the new seams, maybe cutting the lower section into panels back and front. Would definitely have had an apron/pinafore over it.

The prairie style dress looked more like a pinafore like Megan Follows wore in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables. It was something little girls wore at the turn of the 20th century. Maybe you could cut the sleeves off and make it a pinafore to layer over another dress.
