I Made Lizzie Bennet's Dress from Pride and Prejudice (and it was *hard*)
Показать описание
Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
As an avid Pride & Prejudice fan and a seamstress, it was only a matter of time until I attempted to make another dress from the 2005 adaptation. I love the simple style lines of Lizzie's more casual dresses, which look both comfortable and flattering. However, as I've found in this video, not as simple to make and adapt to other silhouettes!
I used 5 meters of lightweight striped polycotton for this, which was £8.5 p/m, and I was luck to snag the last five of it! For the patterns, I used heavily altered patterns from Patterns of Fashion 1 for the bodice and the sleeves, and Butterick B5970 (also altered) for the skirt. Please bear in mind that this is *not* intended as a historically accurate or adjacent Regency dress, but instead a re-creation of the dress from the film adapted to fit my proportions (which are extremely different from Keira Knightley's lol).
I think the dress turned out well! If you can, let me know down below in the comments where I should embroider the back. I left it out because I wasn't sure if it would make me want to wear it less, but now I think it'd be a really nice addition!
