Regency Fashion and Whitework Embroidery: A History of Whiteworked Gowns & An Embroidery Tutorial 

Your beautiful personality shines through in your videos, each one makes me smile so much! Beautiful work as always, so much love and patience went into every stitch. Can't wait to see the finished piece.

Enjoyed this video Meghan . Keep them coming!

I am learning something new! Takes me back to grade school when we had to learn to sew.

I’m here for the Space Buns. ;)

Gorgeous!

i’m glad i’m not the only one who fell down the Marie-Antoinette petit trianon dream to historical costuming pipeline

Hi Meghan. Thx so much for this interesting well done video. Enjoyed it very much.

Just amazing girl well done looking forward to seeing more you're amazing so talented great vid thanks Meghan 💖

Awesome video Meghan. You nailed it.

Great video commentary Meghan! Well done 👍

Congrats on the new channel, Meghan! Perhaps Ken and even Johnny can pop up as Regency-era clad dudes in future vids.

Beautiful embroidery work and great video.

Dmc makes a thread called cotton broder. It comes in several thicknesses. It’s also called white work or cut work thread because it isn’t stranded like floss and it makes strong super smooth satin stitches.

Thank you for the video! I've just started down my path of looking into learning Whitework, Drawn Thread Embroidery. Thank you ADHD! Blessings! )O( 🙂

Hi Meghan, I like how you add movie clips to your video, very cool! I've enjoyed the history of the White worked Gowns as I've never heard of it before so this was quite interesting. Just wondering, would you ever use sea beads or any kinds of beads in your future gowns? This was great, thank you!👍👍

I don't sew more than when I repair a popped button, but I'm interested in how culture develops. For me, fashion is invisible unless I make an effort to pay attention. I love how you put Whitework in the context of the so-called Enlightenment period, just before Dickens, steam powered looms, and the miserable Industrial Revolution. Fashion is fascinating, shaped by ideas, economies, technologies. And it has a caste signaling system about it. Thanks for the enjoyable schooling on this Whitework, which I'd never heard of before!

This was wonderful! So far as Enlightenment philosophy goes I think you would find the book The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity very, very interesting.

Where did you resource this beautiful cotton? It makes the embroidery show up so well 💕

Meghan.... Fantastic.... To people just connecting to Meghan Sandor's Sewing and Fashion Channel, she knows her stuff.... To demonstrate my own research to comment this is what I can write to encourage people to watch.. When talking about clothing for example... Cadogan... A thick tail of hair, formed into a loop on the back of men's heads, fashionable in the 1770s to 1780s.... Types of Fashion Styles also include Androgynous which is a style combing male and female characteristics: women wearing men's haircuts and suits; men clad in long hair and earrings.... Now, a Baby Doll is a style characterized by child-like or doll-like attire: and Batswing has nothing to do with Batman.... Batswing is a variation of a bowtie having tiny small knots, fashionable in the 1890s.... Meghan has done a great job in explaining Whitework Embroidery.... the end... Always in Great Taste.... CHEERS!.... Be Supportive and Subscribe...

How is white work different from black work? Which is older? Was the patterning of black work used for anything other than clothing?

Two questions. You said that you got your muskin from India. Can you direct me to your source or website. 2- can you give me the link to the gown with the French knots in the grim. Thanks.
