Edwardian Chemise - An Attempt Was Made

A few weeks ago, I went through the original contents of my old steamer trunk and found some of my Great-Grandmother's photos from the Edwardian era. With this inspiration, I set myself the task of re-creating a small Edwardian capsule wardrobe of my very own. That includes making an Edwardian chemise, among other garments. Folks, I had no idea that making an Edwardian chemise would be such a dramatic process. I've had issues with everything from the fabric to the pattern...and along the way, I talk about my own issues with the modern clothing industry. As a woman of size, I have a slightly different perspective than some of my CosTubing peers. Please be sure to bear this in mind while listening to a couple of my more passionate tangents. I hold nothing but the deepest respect for other CosTubers and their views on fast fashion and the garment industry. Otherwise...enjoy. It's been quite the experience. (This week's soundtrack isn't your usual CosTube fare, but it highly amused me. Granted, I finished editing and uploading at 1am local time on the day of video release, so that might explain just about EVERYTHING).
