Ever After Gown: Renaissance 2-Part Sleeves

Описание: Hello I’m Sophie. Welcome to the beginning of my sewing journey, come along with me through all the mistakes and seam ripping! And hopefully feel some solidarity that there are others bumbling their way through this hobby.

This video is the third of a series constructing my favorite gown from Ever After (1998). This movie has been a favorite of mine since childhood. In this video I will creating the over sleeves of the dress using Period Patterns No. 41 View V with some alterations. These will be made using Fancy Styles Fabric olive silk rayon velvet. This specific fabric is what inspired me to embark on this entire costuming project.

What I want to do with the project is create a gown that replicates this costume as much as possible, while trying to stay with a more historically accurate approach. But of course there really is no such thing as “Historical Accuracy”, especially for this period, as much of the fashion history is conjecture without extant garments surviving. And you know I’m machine sewing parts of this, and not using period appropriate techniques.

Disclaimer I am very much an amateur sewist and make many mistakes and use questionable at best techniques
