Making an 1883 Gilded Age Bodice

Published 2023-12-19
This week, I'm making the bodice for my 1883 Gilded Age Christmas dress -- doing the mockup and then assembling the silk bodice itself. I'm also figuring out how the sash that goes over the bodice will work.

    Yes, we have enjoyed all the Dora appearances in this video. She's such a little sweetie. 😍
  • @bekytg9393
    It's all looking wonderful. Spend your precious time with your parents, we can wait for the reveal. Thank you for all the helpful hints. Loved watching Dora listening to you.
  • @kckazcoll1
    I haven't watched all of the video yet, but just had to say I love your cat, Dora.So sweet and affectionate 😍
  • I love watching videos that include troubleshooting fit issues. It really helps me figure out my own fit issues. Oh, and all the Dora content was amazing.
  • @EilonwyG
    Dora looked good in the bodice, lol. Love how the whole thing is coming out! Can't wait to see the next installment.

    Always love seeing Dora & Lion! ❤️❤️ I learned the easy way to remember the "correct" way to lap from my mother: Women are right & men are always left over.
  • @margarethall1625
    I adore your little supurrvisor, she is awwdorable. Love how your gown is turning out. Good luck with it.
  • I'm truly loving this dress! Watching you encounter and fix fit issues is immensely helpful. Also Dora loves being the star cause she IS a star! My own kitty is very much the same way
  • Who's a good kitty? Dora is! Looking forward to your review of Gilded Age S2! The show's costuming is excellent compared to the Buccaneers! The latter is trying too hard to be Bridgerton!
  • @kayta84
    The bodies is looking so good! I love this kind of square/ keyhole neckline, its so flattering. And Dora is super cute❤ I just want to reach true the screen and give her all the pets and scratches❤
  • @devh6168
    I love watching you fit and work through the process! Honestly it has helped me so much in my non historical every day clothing. ❤ Also, of course, all the love to Dora as well. She might have stolen the show this time around 😍

    I appreciate your videos so much! I’m currently trying to run through making lounge pants for the whole family. I love sewing with you. It gave me the patience to rip some French Seams. 😅
  • Dora is so cute! Can't wait for the historical dive videos. 🤔you ever have a project that you just seem to keep sewing on? 😆This is going to be SO pretty!!!! Wishing you the best on your audition!
