I Made a HUGE Pannier for the Wackiest of Historical Outfits!

English Regency Court Gowns are huge and wacky--but how do they keep those huge wacky skirts so wide and so high? Let's explore our options and build a pannier as a base to make one of the wackiest historical outfits of all time! In this video, we will draft, adjust and make a set of 18th century side hoops for the notorious English Regency Court Gown, a.k.a. an ERCG! These are some of the most polarizing fashions of all time and while many find the silhoutte unflattering and maybe a little triggering, I think they're hilarious and over the top and it's about time that we tackle the style! But before we can start making the crazy gown, we have to make the crazy hoops that go underneath! Luckily, this is a fast and easy process, and one I'm eager to share with you all!
