Making an 1890's Waistcoat to Level Up My Victorian Wardrobe!

What's better than an 1890's outfit? An 1890's outfit with a FABULOUS waistcoat! These gorgeous, tailored pieces are a quintessential part of the 1890's wardrobe, and there's no better way to level up your Victorian wardrobe than by adding one to your repertoire! In this video, I'll go through the steps of making a waistcoat using Black Snail's 1890's Waistcoat pattern. Tailoring is a skill that, like corsets, needs to be physically done to acquire, and I'm certainly still in the thick of the learning curve. But what is a Fantastical Follies video without...a little chaos? 🙃 I'll walk you through some of the more confusing parts, and even if I get a little snarky, it'll all turn out right in the end. I hope you enjoy this process! I made this Victorian waistcoat to attend a Victorian weekend, and it totally made the outfit. This whole look has taken me a good year to get to on and off, and now that it's complete, I feel so satisfied and happy with the results! Also...it's purple. 💜 Resources: Purple silk from: https://www.silkbaron.com/ Pattern from: https://blacksnailpatterns.com/ How I made the purple walking skirt: https://youtu.be/i1jHfoEo0aI How I made the shirtwaist with convertible sleeves: https://youtu.be/tbJa1PYY2fM Socials: Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fantasticalfolliescostuming/ Follow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fantasticalfollies Support this channel by buying me a coffee 🧡☕: https://ko-fi.com/fantasticalfollies Sound effect
