My most ambitious project EVER! | An 1840s Dress (Part 2)

Описание: It's finally here! The next chapter in the saga of my attempt to make an 1840s ball gown to go to the Prior Attire Ball in Bath. (I went April 2023. Yes it took me this long to edit this video.)

After a last minute change of plan in the mock up stage I had to rework my design and my pattern pieces to create the iconic 1840s decoration, a Bertha.

Many of the knitted items you see me wearing have patterns available in my Ko-fi shop: https://ko-fi.com/retroclaude/shop
