Making my Gown for the Grand Ball at Versailles || Sewing a Robe a la Francaise from the 1760s

Once a year at Versailles, they throw a ball called the "Fetes Galantes". This year, for the ball, I wanted to make a truly epic gown. In this video, I describe the different steps it takes to make a gown, including information from what I learned studying other gowns I got to study personally at museums. I tried to be as historically accurate as possible, other than my liberal use of sewing machines to sew things that will not be seen on the finished gown. I also describe different methods and which patterns I used and how I adjusted them. I am in fact a Baby Lock Ambassador and these are the machines I use: @Baby Lock Sewing Machines Embroidery Machine: Venture: https://babylock.com/machines/multi-needle-embroidery/venture Sewing Machine: Soprano: https://babylock.com/machines/sewing/soprano Serger: Victory: https://babylock.com/machines/serger/victory Digitizing Software: Palette 11:​ https://babylock.com/accessories/software/palette-11-embroidery-software What I’m wearing this week: Dress: https://www.linennaive.com/collections/dress/products/maxi-linen-dress-in-light-pink-ruffle-dress-bridal-dress-wedding-dress-layered-dress-princess-dress-linennaive Use Code Sewstine for 10% off!
