I Made a Ballgown Bodice Designed in 1861 || Sewing a Mid-Victorian Evening Bodice and Bertha Collar

Hello again! I'm so excited to share with you the first full-length video of my work at university. In a few of my previous vlogs, I showed some floundering around with the vague notion of a bodice design, but after coming across a fashion plate describing a bodice in sea green, I knew I had to put my yellow/turquoise shot silk taffeta to good use and do my best attempt at a recreation. Hope you enjoy! About Me: I'm currently a 2nd year BA Costume Interpretation student at UAL Wimbledon. I'm originally from the US and moved to London to pursue my degree. My interests lie primarily in historical dress as well as traditional crafts and fantasy. I tend to be more active with my short-form content so be sure to look for me on tiktok and Instagram by the name Whims and Inconsistencies!
