Turning Myself into MORTICIA ADDAMS but in Renaissance Italy!

Morticia Addams is the most fabulous, the spookiest, the kookiest icon of all--and she's perfect for a historical cosplay in the Italian Renaissance! In this video, I make a late-Renaissance gown called a sottana, in the Venetian style! This gown is entirely block printed by hand, embroidered with gold thread and pearls, with some extra sparkly rhinestones that are so fab even Morticia Addams would approve! The gown also has removable sleeves--both the long sleeves, which are buttoned on, and the short puff sleeves, called baragoni. This makes this gown super versatle, with three fully different looks, depending on how I feel--or how hot it is! I'm so excited to share the making of this gown! It was a huge undertaking, but I enjoyed it, and can't wait to float around in this baby! The era, character, and even some of the design features were all voted on by you--in participation with my year-long Viewer's Choice project! I've loved The Addams Family since I was a kid, especially its irreverent humor, which...I'm sure you're astonished to hear 😂 PS--for those of you who've been watching since the beginning of the project, there is a VERY special suprise for you after the reveal! I'm so excited to share it with you 🙃🥔 If you'd like to see any more videos in the series, you can find the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDDxqes4R_osiYJjs8Bm6VUKfCUiF8704 Resources: The pattern: https://margospatterns.com/products/copy-of-009-the-italian-lady's-wardrobe
