Making a Medieval Inspired Gown - Part 2

Описание: This is the second video of the Medieval Inspired Princess Gown Making Of series which will go through the construction process of how this red/burgundy/maroon princess dress was made. This is inspired by Guinevere's gown that she wears when she is queen from the BBC TV series Merlin. However, we have decided to break up this dress into multiple components so the dress can be worn on multiple occasions, including in the modern day as a formal or prom dress.

This video is all about the making of the actual dress that fits over the top of the corset. We used Butterick pattern B457 but changed some parts of it to make our dress. Alterations include flattening the princess seams at the bust, cutting bodice and skirt pieces as one, lengthening the upper sleeves and removing the sleeve head to make an off-the-shoulder style dress.

This is not the end of this dress though! There will be a part 3 eventually all about the lower sleeves, a more dramatic collar/bertha, and gold embellishments so keep an eye out for it!

About Me:

A dreamer, thinker, and lover of all things sewing, fantasy and costume related.

I am a sewing hobbyist and lover of fantasy and historical costumes, but I also dabble in modern garment alterations sometimes.

When first starting this YouTube channel, I had so many designs, ideas and concepts for fantasy movie costumes, which I illustrated through the use of photoshop. Now my interests lie with actually physically making and creating.

Of course, I don't have the time and resources to make garments as spectacular as my photoshop designs, but I am still able to enjoy the process of constructing simpler items from start to finish.

On this channel, you will find a wealth of sewing diary vlogs in which I share my sewing journey and thoughts. I am an avid watcher of fellow seamstresses here on YouTube (among my favourites include Angela Clayton, Bernadette Banner, Morgan Donner and Micarah Tewers) and so I thought that I would join in on the fun and upload some content of my own. Hopefully it's helpful to someone out there!
