This Skirt Uses 4.5 Metres of Fabric | Hand Sewing a Victorian Skirt

I'm finally able to introduce to you all THE BERRY DRESS! This is the latest historical hand sewing project I've been working on, which will consist of four separate pieces. This video documents the construction process of part one, the making of the skirt. The Berry Dress is an 1860s four-part historical fashion ensemble designed with fancy dress in mind, but it isn't only to be worn to a historical costume party. It's also suitable for day-to-day wear, which is how I plan to use it! The Berry Dress is an abstract representation of a berry, but in gown form, much like how people would often dress up as natural phenomena or inanimate objects for historical fancy dress parties. The berry aspect may not make sense to you yet, but by the next construction video, the entire vision is going to become much, much clearer. This Victorian skirt is 100% handsewn and took around 45 hours to complete, which is actually pretty quick for a hand sewn garment! The next part of this series is going to be the sash/Swiss waist, which as of writing I have already almost completed. The video for that construction process will be published in a couple of weeks. After that, I will be focusing on the bonnet, and finally completing the bodice, which will be the most time-consuming of all the pieces. I hope you enjoy watching the sewing process of this classic 1860s skirt, designed to be versatile and worn with or without a crinoline. Thank you so much for your viewership and I'll see you all on Thursday for another video. 🕯 Support my art on Patreon:   / vbirchwood   ✨ Leave a donation: https://ko-fi.com/vbirchwood 🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood 🪡 Follow me on Instagram:   / vasibirchwood   📖 Business inquiries: [email protected] Due to limited character count, all sources used can be found here: www.vbirchwood.com/sources/i-hand-sewed-a-poofy-green-victorian-skirt Time Stamps: 0:00 Why a Berry Dress? 2:05 Constructing the Skirt 3:41 Securing the Lining 5:30 Creating the Waistband 6:10 Pleating! 7:58 Centre Back Seam and Placket 8:20 Wearing the Berry Skirt #historicalfashion #Victorian #handsewing
