In this video I tackle my fear of chiffon and chemise dresses to make a glorious metallic pink historically inspired confection.
✩ Things mentioned ✩
The fabric was all from Fabric Mart
I used the Musée de la Toile de Jouy Chemise a la Reine as a visual reference for drafting. But I added ruffles for obvious reasons.
The pattern mentioned (not favorably) from an earlier attempt is from this book (this is an affiliate link): amzn.to/3znombB

I adore people making historically inaccurate but fun clothes, if the people back then had access to this much bright pink silk chiffon I have no doubt that somebody would’ve made this

To be fair, if Marie Antoinette had access to hot pink silk chiffon I’m pretty sure she would have worn the heck out of it. ❤️

'Chiffon puckers like a mother...!' Made my day....

In case my brilliant illustrations didn’t make it clear - the issue I’ve had with Chemise a la Reine’s in the past is that without a structured base layer, there is nothing to put tension on the material and hold it in place.

@kaytiej8311 2 года назад

This would have to be the perfect interpretation of Marie Antoinette' s Chemise for the 21st century. The only reason she didn't pick hot pink for hers was that she couldn't get any at the time! Angela every video you release is just wonderful! You're a very talented young woman. Be encouraged that you are making a difference in many people's lives, including mine, and I'm 60!

The styling is just exquisite on this. Your makeup, the wig - you look like a porcelain doll, which despite being a fantastical interpretation also feels so right for the period. Can’t wait to see more, and excited for a Hallowe’en look this year…?

Ahh… the rolled hem foot. Brilliant when it works. Bane of one’s existence when it won’t.

The Push nserts of the marshmallow genuinely made me laugh. I really needed that. 😂

@nanner3135 2 года назад

I feel like this version of the dress fits well with that one movie with Kirsten Dunst. Very historical but has the modern color vibe that would fit today

@michelletabares5336 2 года назад

I’m normally not a fan of hot pink, but this color and gown is gorgeous on you! It’s super flattering too, this might be my favorite of all your projects. Great job!

I really enjoyed watching the construction of this stunning gown. My six year old son really enjoyed counting how many mail varnish colours he could spot. His favourite was when they were purple and green at the same time!

The production value is this video is *chef’s kiss*. The marshmallow has me howling

Angela, your video was posted on my RU-vid home page. I am old enough to be your Grandpa, and know absolutely. NOTHING about seeing. I LOVED your video. You have such a gift - for educating and informing. THANK YOU

@mblum1611 2 года назад

That is, without a doubt, the pinkest dress I've ever seen and I 10000% approve! I also approve of the poor auto-captions having

@TheMetatronGirl 2 года назад

I ordinarily detest pink…but this gown, the color, and on you, is absolutely gorgeous. If I looked even half as good in pink as you do, I’d rethink my stance on disliking the color. I mean, that fabric is just sumptuous.

I have been sewing for 65 years and this is a great video about sewing with chiffon. I have been a costumer for decades and this outfit is grezt. Thank you for your video.

@apalehorsenamed_death2849 2 года назад

I can imagine this beautiful dress in a spooky lace spiderweb fabric.

@Lunareon 2 года назад

It is like Barbie, but make it 18th century. What a fabulous combination of fabric and style! Thank you for the tips for sewing the dreaded chiffon, they were very helpful.

@kirsten4211 2 года назад

I really love this. I agree with you that you need an understructure on dresses like this! Also, your little drawing was so funny. The final dress is gorgeous

@terezar880 2 года назад

I love the colour and love the fit too. Sewstine is making a bright pink polonaise and I definitely support making historical garments in bright and wonderful colours bc it's just so much fun!
