Becoming 1770's David Bowie 👨‍🎤

After more than a year, I've finally finished my robe à l'anglaise inspired by David Bowie and the striped jumpsuit he wore designed by Kansai Yamamoto! This is the grand finale of my Glam Rock Goes Rococo project, where I turn myself into a 1770's David Bowie. In this video, I finish up making the gown, which is historically inspired and uses both modern and historical techniques in its construction. I start by setting in the sleeves, then move on to adding the sleeve puffs, sleeve flounces, all the soutache trim, fix the petticoat, and finally, I show the grand reveal! If you missed the first video, where I go step-by-step into making the gown, you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/9nqPMv_IS0E I'm so happy to share this project with everyone! It's a culmination of almost a full year's work, from the making of the chemise, the Bowie-inspired, hand-embroidered pockets and Starman underpetticoat, the reversable mullet stays, the hand-sewn pannier, and my wearable, modernised english gown mockup...it's been an insane journey, and wasn't without its issues, but I'm so pleased with the way it turned out! Quick content note: I initiate a drinking game during the Soutache portion of this video. If this is triggering for you, you can skip to the next chapter either on the timeline itself or through the chapter list below. If you're not triggered by this, make sure you have a beverage handy--adult or not, as long as it's large--and be ready once I start fixing my petticoat.
