I wanted to make the Italian gown worn retrousse (or the robe a la polonaise as the Met calls it) from 1780, so I bought some reproduction fabric, and sewed it all up! I tried to use as historically accurate a sewing method as possible, though I did use a machine to stitch up any parts that wouldn't be visible from the outside.

@PokhrajRoy. Год назад

Truth is stranger than Fiction: You were colouring in 10 METRES of fabric and then a company calls you to tell you have that they have the fabric you were looking for? Wow.

@lucyj8204 Год назад

At $230 though ... Suddenly the wool I just bought feels like a total bargain 😆

@ReeniEspino Год назад

To be fair, she was coloring the white one and they had the fabric that was correct for the yellow one.

@eraia Год назад

It's $230 for 5 meters so ~$46/meter - still a lot but way more reasonable than the 2k+ total I thought it was..!

@kirstenpaff8946 Год назад

I am pretty sure Sewstine could clothe half an 18th century royal court with the number of gorgeous gowns and suits she's made over the years.

@CakeKitty135 Год назад

I'd like to be in that court! lol

@MeadowoodRanch Год назад

It’s beautiful!!! I had forgotten about the Bernie pockets - so fun. May moving go smoothly.

@Sewstine Год назад

Thank you so much!!

@BallerinaValkyrie 9 дней назад

I don't think any natural fiber obsession can be unhealthy. I'm more of a wool person, but I totally understand. This dress is gorgeous, as are all your projects, and I love seeing your projects! Thank you for sharing the resources you use, its lovely to know about where to look for supplies/patterns/refrences.

@arianabrand1153 Год назад

Wow, yellow is 900% your color! You look like a ray of sunshine! The dress is so beautiful. One of my favorite things about your videos is that they make me see historical clothes in a new light. I never would have noticed the trim on the original gown if you hadn’t explained it! Very excited to see the hand-colored sister gown as well.

@cheesycheddar555 Год назад

The amazing part about knowing how to sew: you can make anything you want! Amazing video, Sewstine, as always!

@cheesycheddar555 Год назад

Also…second ✨

@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar Год назад

OMG this is incredible! It actually looks accessible to intermediate sewists! Of course, you make it look easy! 😉 I really enjoyed this video because of all of the information about the dress the history and the fabrics and all of that but also because of your puppy! lol

@KHFFSE Год назад

The way my eyes lit up on that purple fabric being embroidered at the end haha Very excited for the Black Beard suit! You look so good in all these yellows and reds/jewel tones! Your work is very inspiring and I hope you and the fam are doing well ~

@ranear6396 Год назад

Ok, I can’t wait for the Blackbeard cosplay, but for the moment, that dress is amazing! Great job!

@buffmontana4203 Год назад

You never seize to amaze me. Dress is beautiful! You are adorable, when you "pose" for the camera during the sewing progress you give a big smile, makes me chuckle. Besides being a doctor, wife, mother, seamstress (with patience to do all that hand sewing), smart, computer and embroidery machine wiz what other talents do you have?

@AkumakoCross Год назад

The final gown looks lovely! I personally like that the hips aren’t so massive and round as in the original - it would be rather cartoonish and impractical on most people. Looking forward to the court suit teaser at the end! One small note about the video, I found that the music in the final construction sequence was a bit too loud and made it difficult to understand the narration. Could be my audio, but figured I mentioned it.

@chillinginthenameof Год назад

I found the same thing for some parts of the video, and that I have to keep putting my volume up and down depending on whether there's dialogue or music playing. The music is definitely a lot higher than the dialogue throughout.

@shevaunhandley1543 Год назад

Lol... I didn't realise how much I missed your videos (and creations of course) until this came up on my feed! Yay! And how gorgeous is that silk? 🥰

@Sewstine Год назад

Thank you!!

@paulage1art Год назад

Just learned of your channel from Bernadette Banner. Was watching her video of remaking her wool coat at the beginning of the pandemic and mentioned that you were an anesthesiologist and had your own channel! I am a retired OR nurse. I don’t think any of our anesthesiologists sew, much mess make historical clothing! Your work is outstanding!!!! I do know a OBGYN that has a cross stitch channel - Vintage Cross Stitch Niche. She hand dyes a lot of her own fabrics. Looking forward to watching much more of your channel!

@milenemelendez7302 20 дней назад

Omg your Bernie pocket had me CACKLING!! So cute. Your gown is beautiful and you look amazing in it. Well done

@oliveoil315 Год назад

Another stunning creation along with learning something of the history of dressmaking from that era. You are a very talented young lady.

@blufaerie Год назад

This was meant to be! Also yes to Bernie pockets!!!

@Saxinful Год назад

All the dedication and hard work makes this beautiful silk gown a well deserved reward!

@roxiepoe9586 Год назад

This is an amazing, beautiful, breathtaking, fresh, spectacular, perfect dress! I always enjoy seeing your process and your results. Also, re. your sponsor footage: Girl! you Kill in that black suit!

@EarlyAmerican Год назад

Wow this is beautiful! By the way back when you lived in the St Louis area we lived super close (O'Fallon IL).

@dee-annegordon5959 Год назад

Stunning as always. Had a bit of a chuckle at the end when you showed an Americal Girl Doll. A year ago I had no idea what these were, and then seemingly overnight several RU-vidrs I follow start sewing historically acurate or human sized replicas of their gowns. Looking forward to seeing your take on this new trend.

@beth12svist Год назад

As a fellow fan of Scroop Patterns but not a subscriber of yours (mostly because I'm generally into slightly different eras and I can only keep up with so much, KWIM?), I am so glad RU-vid decided to recommend this video to me because I had been looking forward to learning more about this project but rather forgot to keep my eyes peeled for it in the general busy-ness of life. :-) (I'm pretty sure Leimomi herself was also excited for it because that shade of yellow is her favourite - and it's now one of my favourites because of her!) That fabric is awesome, and it's great that things lined up for you like that to make the dress a reality! The thing about dress history research is that it's a relatively recent field. So many of these discoveries like what a polonaise dress actually is are relatively recent, so there's a lot of outdated info out there simply because the field is in so much flux right now!

@sarahmwalsh Год назад

The gown is spectacular, no surprises there, but A+ and major kudos to your fitting partner!! Sleeves are really fiddly and he's got it down. Love seeing that!

@CollaborativeDog Год назад

Gaaaawlly! Such a beautiful piece! In my imagination, I can see all your gorgeous gowns hanging in a ridiculously large walk-in rococo closet/boudoir. Just walking past each piece and brushing a hand across all that silk...the sensory overload. Swoon.

@johannageisel5390 Год назад

So gorgeous! That dog also looks very fit for an 18th century noblewoman.

@monkey93xf Год назад

ooo those little pleats *squeel* love the new soundtrack

@juliemiller9258 Год назад

So beautifully constructed and worn! Just love making yourself an original copy!

@DipityS Год назад

I love it! Love love love! This is definitely one of the gowns I've paused on and admired very much. The poufy back and the fitted clean line of the bodice and the froufrou of the hem and such - and the beautiful fabric. It all adds up to a most feminine flattering gown and you look beautiful in it. Also, your hubby is exactly the right height to pin the sleeves without having to go up on tippy toe and also to sneak in the odd smooch while pinning, which is always important 😊

@madelinegrudens Год назад

That was exquisite to watch! A feast for the eyes - you're so fascinating and whatever you make is just delicious!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing your talent and skills!

@Sewstine Год назад

Thank you so much 😀 I really appreciate it! :D

@kimberlyterasaki4843 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful dress! There were a couple points in this video where I couldn't hear you speaking over the music but watching you work is always a joy!

@sandrafarley7967 Год назад

I love the way you match the floral patterns.

@marjoriemoser3961 Год назад

I just want to say that your master sewing skills are a dream! You amaze me! I sew want to have you as a sewing instructor! P.S. I am new to your channel

@allychristiansen Год назад

I so appreciate the clear step by step instructions you show. SO HELPFUL!!!

@Itsbaberuthless_ Год назад

I'm blown away. I was browsing the list of Historical Princess contirbutors in Rachel Maksey's discription box and saw you made Anna. Insted of watching that I was intrigued by this video's thumbnail. I'm just....in shock. The work you put into this gown is insane. I love it so much!!

@aksez2u Год назад

They were lucky to have you as a tester for that pattern. I can't imagine anyone doing it more justice! I love the yellow color on you! ❤

@isabellaferretti7279 Год назад

So gorgeous, very joyful gown, love all the details you give

@TheBmweed Год назад

I REALLY loved this video and dress! I did think the music was a little loud though, at the point when you were polonaise-ing the dress I couldn't really make out what you were saying, but my hearing isn't so good, so it might just have been me!

@P0nyl0ve Год назад

I always love whatever you create, this dress is another example!!

@marcco44 Год назад

what a great, positive way to express yourself!

@ShinySarah44 Год назад

This is delightful and I love how bright the colours are! It's coming into Spring here and this gives me all those vibes.

@wynnewhitten-holmes5090 Год назад

When you explained the shoulder pleats I literally said WHAT. Brilliant. Your husband is so sweet and handy to help you with the fitting!

@ljm792 Год назад

Oh my god. To watch this whole amazing video, only to have you drop OFMD at the end! Can’t WAIT!

@lynnsaull5723 Год назад

Another gorgeous gown!

@pippaseaspirit4415 Год назад

@ourabouras Год назад

Wow, it’s always so much fun watching you bring life to a piece of history. Your videos are so informative and very relaxing. Kudos on the editing and music choices, seriously your videos have as much polish as your dresses😁

@sarahwatts7152 Год назад

That fabric is just amazing, love the colors and the pattern!

@bonniecolleenpappin8807 Год назад

The time you have spent on your craft shows in all the details, large and small, but I'm constantly impressed by your hand sewing!!

Everything you make is so beautiful; this dress is no exception! Your puppy sleeping; while you are sewing is too cute. xoxo's Sandie

@michellecornum5856 Год назад

Beautiful yellow fabric. Loved the kiss on the head!!

@bigjedimullet Год назад

So cool to watch a piece of history come to life! When you see these dresses in museums (sometimes under low light to protect them) you rarely get a sense of what the colors were really like or how the fabric moved. To say nothing of how much effort garments took before the invention of the sewing machine! Thanks for sharing your process! (PS, would not mind a bit if fichus made a comeback as a summer accessory.)

@dawnagamble1549 Год назад

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@midnight6994 Год назад

I didn't expect an upload at my time! Happy Fall Sewstine I can't wait for Halloween too haha

@midnight6994 Год назад

I would say first but. . . 🤔

@susanforbes8251 Год назад

Your work is exquisite, as always! I'm impressed not only with your talent but with your time management skills as well, juggling working as a physician with a husband, child, and doggies. Also intrigued by your scalloping iron that you hammered to get that edge, I bet it was hard to find

@mmansour88 Год назад

Lovely!!

@christinescott2120 Год назад

@antoniobroccoliporto4774 Год назад

Great job …I had found similar fabric for one of my chairs but this is put to better use.

@notthecarfullestgirl Год назад

This is my favorite historic gown of all time, seeing it on display in the Interwoven Globe exhibit almost a decade ago (where did the time go??) was so exciting. Supremely jealous you have your own version to wear!

@stevezytveld6585 Год назад

Glad to see you back. That is a beautifully executed dress. Well done. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
