Hand Sewing an 18th Century Queen of Hearts Cosplay!

Let's hand stitch an 18th century Angelica gown and then turn it into a historically accurate Queen of Hearts cosplay--complete with tiny working guillotione perched atop an elaborate 18th century hair pouf! This hand-sewn Italian Gown is inspired by one of the most-loved children's books of all time, and made for an 18th century ball I attended in October in St. Louis! I made it using Scroop's Angelica Gown pattern for the #angelicathon which is both a sew along as well as a You Tube collaboration! I'm so excited to have this done and share the results with all of you--this project took a LOT of work, time, and whining to come together, and I cannot be happier with the results! While I ran out of time to make the giant lace collar and flamingo walking stick, I'm still pleased with the way the cosplay turned out, and was happy a lot of people got the gist of what I was going for. And the guillotine stayed on the entire night!! Want more Angelica Gown videos? This is part of a sew along!
