Making a lace yoke silk blouse | two piece Edwardian summer dress part 1

I made (another) Edwardian era shirtwaist!! It is the perfect history bounding Gibson Girl shirt and fits into both the dark academia and cottage core aesthetics. I know I took a break for a few weeks but I am back! I won't be posting weekly anymore because I want to be able to put more effort into each of my videos. Quality over quantity they say.

I'm obsessed with Edwardian atm so no, I'm not tired of these videos

[chloebrzozowski]

I could never get tired of watching late Victorian sewing videos!!!! I love how this turned out!!!

[aliceg]

I am NEVER tired of late Victorian/edwardian makes. Mostly because I love atmking them and I actually wear them (with also 40s, 50s styles). Feel free to FLOOD, friend !

I'll be glad to watch anything you make as long as you have fun with it.

I like the shirt and love the sky blue you chose for it. Also love how you showed the cat playing while you were working. Very accurate of cats

[Ellaodi]

Never going to get tired of this. You should put all of your videos on your patreon!!

[Feelicitasy]

You are now officially my new favorite Costube Channel next to BB! Your Style is so much what I aspire to be, your videos are phenomenally narrated, shot and soothing to watch.
The unhemmed, tucked in Shirtwaist is SUCH a mood, I never hem mine because I usually leave a ton of hem allowance and at some point, it stops shredding lol. The crochet lace and combination with the blue silk is GEORGEOUS and such a great idea. I was pondering what to do with the remnant of chestnut silk I have.
Also YAY for Gibsons in Green \ÖwÖ/

Both of us enjoyed watching the design and construction of your elegant lace yoke silk blouse; love the way the lace blends with the blue silk. The reveal was awesome, including the music, the setting and the grace of the model. Can't wait to see the evolution of the skirt.

I 💕🥰😍 a good blouse and do not discriminate: high-end, fast fashion, beyond-my-paygrade. All are welcome. New addition, Neo-Edwardian

I’m back!
Comment your favorite project that you’ve made⬇️

[sewwithmsjones]

I really like the color combination. How creative to make your own lace "fabric" for the yoke!

[sagekenyon]

Your shirtwaist is beautiful and you wear it with grace, the fabric choices have an air serenity to them. Have a great week!

[BunniesXO]

Not at all. I'm in love with this style. You should try some styles from Anne of green gables or Meet Me in st Louis. It's a beautiful Era ❤️ Love the outfit!

Your kitty is so cute! I've been learning to use patterns and my tabby is obsessed

[craftingwithcasca]

This looks so good! Can't wait to see the whole thing completed.

[michellecornum]

Nope, Neo-Edwardian, this is my vibe. But do what you feel you must. No gatekeeping here. You have the chops, sew what you want.

[aliceg]

This is so pretty! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your process!

[HandmadeSolace]

I came here from your grwm because I REEEALLY wanted a closer look at the crochet lace you mentioned there. Sad to say, tho, I don't think your lace is crochet. Yours looks pretty closely like machine woven bobbin lace... from what I can see. Regardless, you did a beautiful job piecing them, and your shirtwaist looks fantastic 👍🏻

[jacobgalos]

my „pirate“ shirt isn’t hemmed at the bottom or fully felled on the inside HAHAHA

[cryptid_esskay]

All your works are so well made and visually stunning! I look forward to watching more projects of yours!
