Eva the sewing historianMy very insane handsewn 1810s outfit. It is based on a French fashion plate. Including the insane bonnet, which I made from two straw hats that I unravelled and sewed together. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historicalcostume?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historicalcostume</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/regencycostume?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regencycostume</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/regencyfashion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regencyfashion</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sewing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>
Epochs of Fashion<p>Comparing Francois Boucher’s portrait of Madame de Pompadour and an 1860s Victorian fancy dress costume which clearly references the painting! While the visual characteristics of the mid-1700s gown are taken on board - such as the pink bows and the open-front mantua construction - the Victorian costume is very firmly Victorian. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fashionhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fashionhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/costumehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>costumehistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/historicaldress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historicaldress</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/historicalcostume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historicalcostume</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/18thcentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>18thcentury</span></a></p>

We have silk satin for the "gown..of the grossie green...sleeues of Satten hanging by" described in the song.
Ninya Mikhaila will make the gown, when we've worked out what it looks like...

To motivate myself to do a tedious part of a new sewing project, place your gaze upon these WIP shots of my 1780s or so Redingote that I sewed entirely by hand.

I was planning to just do the redingote but then figured I could also do a matching petticoat from the scraps of fabric that I cut out because they took the dye unevenly. I managed the entire petticoat with just an unreasonable amount of piecing, and I almost got the stripes to match on it!

A closeup photo of just the sleeve vents and cuffs of a striped brown and darker brown garment. The 5mm wide stripes match to a very satisfying degree along the sleeve seams and the tiny brown fabric covered buttons show just a peek of contrasting burnt gold buttonhole stitching.
A small mountain of fabric covered buttons, one of which show the underside and the stitching on it, indicating the entire mountain was sewed by hand. There are small scissors and a spool of thread next to the mountain.
A closeup photo of a ludicrously pieced portion of fabric, that has very small pieces and all but one of them have exactly matched the striped pattern. The pieces are basted on with yellow basting threads.
A farther away view of a large swatch of fabric that has been pieced together from much much smaller myriad pieces of the same. There is a small pile of scraps next to it. The color of the fabric is uneven.
