An Old Style as a New Fashion

Greetings, dear Internet~Land! I hope you are all well and safe as we continue our journey in the beginnings of 2024. In this video I will be trying something a bit new for me. Instead of designing a new pattern, I am going to sew someone else’s. The design of this gown is a lovely look from the 1800s. When it arrived, I anxiously looked over all the instructions and pieces. I think I can do this! The finished outfit will consist of five garments: a combination underwear item, a petticoat skirt, a gown, an over-skirt, and an over-bodice. For good measure, I’ll also be adding a hat to the outfit that I purchased from a wonderful creator at my Wagon Wheel Doller Doll Show. (Our next show is the 23rd of this month.) I’ve also added the images and PDF file for the “Doll Measurements Chart” below the video link. If this project sounds like something you would enjoy, grab a snack and a beverage and let’s get started!
