DIY Sophie Baek's Lake Scene Dress - Making a Bridgerton Gown

In this video I will be sharing my process for making a dress that is inspired by the dress Sophie Baek wears during the lake scene in Season 4 of Bridgerton. Sophie wears one of the Bridgerton sisters' (Francesca) gowns in this scene, and this dress is one of my favorites from Season 4. When I found this fabric I was inspired to make a dress like Sophie's gown! For my inspiration I took some screenshots of this dress and gave it a close look. The dress bodice that Sophie wears has one dart on either side and a low square neckline with piping around the edge. The sleeves are short with gathers at the top and are fitted to the arm with a center pleat. Sophie’s sleeves remind me of 80’s party dresses, and so I opted to make a puff sleeve instead for my dress. The skirt looks floor length with several pleats starting around the side seam of the bodice. My goal was to use Sophie’s lake scene dress as inspiration for making my own dress. I knew my fabric and final dress would not be a perfect 1 to 1 recreation of her dress. However, I think my final dress is very pretty and something a Bridgerton would wear. I do think this dress is very pretty and comfortable, with all the same charm as Sophie’s dress. If you’re interested in making a dress like this for yourself, you can check out the pattern I used, which is in my Etsy shop as a downloadable PDF. The pattern is called “Mix and Match Regency Dress Pattern”. I also have a Plus Size version of the pattern available. Pattern: ht
