Making a Victorian Day Dress | historybounding

 

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video As I mention in the video I was really digging the prairie aesthetic after binge watching the latest season of Anne with an E After doing some digging around I found that these prairie dresses could also be called were similar to workdresses working dresses or wrapper dresses it is not uncommon for items in the 19th century to have 439 different names they probably had minute differences that were common knowledge but sadly not to me I found a couple of examples of 1890s workdresses I ve picked this term out of the list above and got to work My two main inspirations are the two blue dresses in the video which also give me Sophie from Howl s Moving Castle vibes so when I saw this patterned blue cotton fabric I thought it was perfect for a modern historybounding version These dresses seem to be loose fitting garments kind of like nightgowns almost which have a tie at the waist and some decorative features on the yokes and cuffs I ve also made mine shorter just for day to day wear I think the dress ended up with more of a Victorian in the city vibe than a prairie vibe so I will attempt this again but with a softer more neutral fabric Over all this was a super easy dress to make If you wanted to try but are not sure of drafting your own pattern here are some options please keep in mind I haven t personally used these patterns And the pattern I frankensteined to make my own Things mentioned in the video If you are interested in seeing some more of my work here are some links Instagram katisinthebagFor business inquiries email catscostumery gmail com
