These are beautiful, I recognized the our flag means death fabric immediately. I think maybe the closest thing to a modern equivalent would be one of those “my wealthy husband has mysteriously died” with the feather trim
I'd love to see a dressing gown made out of formerly alive and mysteriously missing, rich husbands smoking jacket, with a Victorian "Black Widow" looking for her next, soon to be dead rich husband twist to it! 😮😱🥳👻
@@TheCrazyredheadazoh now i want to make this but obviously not the money for the fabrics i’d like to use; though i would like to draw this at least 💖🌻
@@cyborgqueerI would love to see the resulting artwork you come up with for it!!! 😊 I've got all kinds of crazy cool ideas swimming around in my brain but sadly lack the artistic ability to bring them to life in picture form. 😢😢😢
The garment you’re referring to is called a peignoir - or a dressing gown. The drapey, marabou-trimmed ones you’re thinking of are a style that was popular in the 1930’s. Every couple of years since around 2010 pictures from burlesque artist Catherine D’Lish’s web store make the rounds on the internet and the style gets a micro-resurgence in popularity. The D’Lish robes are made with stage performers and models in mind, but owning a few myself I can tell you they’re very well made. Some of the satin and jersey styles would make for a great housecoat.
@@rebekah3483 Yeah, they're like robes. Also like tshirts with flannel PJs. Or maybe sweatpants and sweatshirts in some cases. Anything you wear inside the house to be comfy that you wouldn't wear outside
@@raerohan4241lounge wear fit to wear in front of other ladies visiting your home, but never in front of a man who is not a close family member or not your husband yet. Or outside of your own home.
I have been looking to make some historical loungewear. I'm a stay at home mom and so tired of having either frumpy or sexy loungewear. This solves everything
I knew it! I saw you wearing your tea gown on another video and was so happy. I recognized that fabric from OFMD and I wish I could afford it. If I could make the breakup banyan I would live in it. I love your tea gown version too. I really like the other two tea gowns. I guess I'll have to add those to my dream sewing list.
I wish Tea gowns came back is like a fancy robe trend. Because as somebody who likes to relax at home but would also love to look cute while doing it loves the idea of this. ❤
As a straight man, I'm fully here for this fashion making a comeback. I'd admire the hell out of a woman that wanted to be this classy even in her casual time. There's something really elegant about that.
The idea of fancy lounge wear should have stuck around, because, one should look one's best when by themselves, there's not a more special person in one's life than one's self
It must have been an enchanting sight to see an Edwardian lady enter a candlelight or gaslight lighted room? You are Giving these garments so much justice for their intentions!ASMR
I feel like an apt equivalent would be fancy bathrobes. The sheer kind that have those big long trains and fake feathers on the end and stuff. Or the silky ones. Things that you can wear around the house and lounge in, but are also meant to be kind of fun and sometimes sexy.
The "fancy but casual" thing reminds me of the good pajamas I'd only wear for sleep overs. In my own house, I wear big shirts and mens boxers. But for a sleep over I'd have the fancy matching sets that were soft and shiny.
I have always wanted a dressing gown like the one worn by Scarlett Ohara in gone with the wind. Even though I haven’t seen the movie in more then a decade, that green velvet and gold lace / embroidered dressing gown was to die for !
the last one is so beautiful.. this fashion began in the late 17th, early 18th centuries copying the loose robes worn by women in Turkey.. especially fashionable as 'undress'.
They still had the "hostess gown" concept between the wars, at least (if not into the 70s!). Basically the lady could wear more informal clothes than her guests in her own home even when hosting a dinner, so those were both comfy and fancy, similar to the dresses you showcase. I've combined the idea with the house dress concept and bought a pretty comfy wrap dress that works as my lounging dress. It's not fancy, but I'm always presentable in it, no problem showing it in online meetings or to any guests.
I do have tea gowns! I don't go to church any more, but I didn't want to throw the dresses out, so I wear them as loungewear. I *could* wear them out, but I don't. Inside-only dresses.
