Refashioning old costumes + advice for beginner costumers | Failed Regency Dress to 1780 Accessories

I have several old costumes that for whatever reason didn't work out. In this video, I show why those costumes failed and remake one regency-era dress into some 18th-century accessories. And if you're new to historical sewing I want you to know that making mistakes is just an opportunity to learn new skills and don't let the fear of messing up keep you from getting started in a fun hobby. ***REFERENCES*** Making my Italian Gown videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6CrmFz_WnQ & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq02yq31tFE My blue regency dress: https://dixiediy.com/2014/09/historical-sewing-regency-dress.html My other white stripe regency dress: https://dixiediy.com/2018/11/regency-spencer-laughing-moon-129.html *** IMAGE CREDITS *** 1920s dress pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/506077755/vintage-sewing-pattern-1920s-20s-flapper Shirtwaist: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/86051 *** MUSIC *** Courtesy of EpidemicSound.com *** CONNECT *** Follow me on Instagram @dixiediy: http://instagram.com/dixiediy I blog at http://dixiediy.com I may not always have time to respond to all comments but know that I do read and appreciate them!
