Sewing An Edwardian Tea Gown For Cozy Purposes

At first I thought, "I could never get away with dragging a great velvet train around the house, with 2 German Shepherds in the desert." ... and then I thought, "I would never have to sweep again!" #EleganceInHousekeeping

I would refer to this as leisure wear for lounging in my home. It would be wonderful to have a tea gown to wear while relaxing and working on embroidery or other needle work projects. 💖 Your tea gown is beautiful. 😊

Fantastic work! You look gorgeous in that gown❤

I have one in my mind for planning. I’m 63 today, and always coveted my mothers beautiful peignoirs in the 1960’s. Always so light, delicate and frilly. But oh-la-la . . The Edwardian ones ❤️❤️

We all need to formally, and informally, entertain, more. But swanning about in a gown all alone is also kind of the dream. When I worked in Saudi Arabia I bought half a dozen silk sarees that hadn’t been cut yet, specifically to have someone make me a glorious, sweeping, voluminous wrap/robe for swanning. Haven’t done it yet, but they’re here. Waiting. The black edging really finishes it nicely. Love the whole process and the hilarious poses at the end!

I love it I would want to make that

Im working on my own lounge dress right now. ❤ yours is stunning!

My husband when I tell him I'm making a tea dress: "What are you going to do in a tea dress?" Me: proceeds to share 20:05. <3

The sitting around on the laptop and cereal ones were the best! Perfect chillin clothes.

I don’t know if it’s the collar but this robe gives me solid vampire feelings. Maybe a rebellious casual vampire who do s not want to roll with black all the time. Very well done and nice to watch!

Welp. Time to add another project to my ever growing list. I'm going to need to add some pockets. Everything i wear MUST have pockets.

It’s so pretty! Omg every time I see an Edwardian tea gown, it always makes me want to make one! Lol if only my sewing machine wasn’t busted. Also wearing fancy entertaining loungewear to couch potato is the best time to wear it.

Wow, this is just beautiful! You did a great job! What an inspiration you are! 🥰💯🌸

The ending is amazing! 😂

I wonder if a nice cozy flannel fabric would work for this? I adore that collar, and the straight front was the best choice! I’m also wondering how to blend an upright collar like that with a folded lapel that would taper to the waist to help trick the eye into seeing a little more of an hourglass for this older gal still working on trimming down? Ooh, and making sleeves that spilt at the shoulder and bell out and hang open and down to the hip length. No idea what those are called. Gotta go, I have some drawing to do!

Subbed for the Samantha in the background. You’re obviously a woman with great taste!

I am so here for this right now 🤯😍 I will be following suit shortly. This turned out absolutely stunning. This eras clothing suits you so well I have a Terry cloth robe i made with turned back lapels and wide sleeves that makes me look like Father Christmas from dickens...Dickenson.... I turned a men's flannel robe into an 1940s style smoking bedjacket.... and now...on to the tea gowns!! Because covid has taught me I needed fancy loungewear

That looks so good 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

u remind me of Bernadette banner idk if I spelled that right but love ur videos

Beautiful ! ❤
