I believe the 'chain necklace' is a take on a chatelaine belt, which nicely denotes Emma's position as lady of the house. I hadn't noticed it til you pointed it out.

Thank you for this encouraging tutorial.

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey!

Hey uh, you haven't uploaded in a while, do you plan to upload soon, and if not is there a link to say the discord or any other place in which I can contact you? like reddit, or Instagram.

I'm drafting a pair of stays for a friend and this was super helpful! Thank you!!

Here in Alaska many women have insulated overskirts that they take off when they go indoors. There are many types, but most are basically quilted, A-line, and have zippers from the hem up for walking comfort. I've never used one, but they seem to work for some people.

As someone who has scoliosis and a twisted spine AND a hard time making patterns THIS. Has been the easiest tutorial to follow and the fact I can alter it to my left and right side to fit more comfortable 👏 chefs kiss. I cannot thank you enough.

i know this is an old vid but I need guidance. I where my skirts very hight, think under bust since my widest point is much lower and sharing dresses too low make me look pregnant (hormones meen I'f got the body shape of some one 7-8m preggnent) I like to where big skirts but ether end up with them being too bulky at the wast or flush with the curve of my tummy. do you have any advice? My first inclination is to mesher my widedt part and where I want the skirt to sit and split the difference.

I live in Norway, in the deep forests in the east. I use 2 skirts, wool over cotton. Wool long johns(no synthetic in my wardrobe) , compression stockings (you find them in all kinds of colours) and knitted wool socks or stockings if it really cold. This keeps me warm all winter. I prefer long skirts during summer, there’s nothing as hot as sun at your skin. A thin long cotton dress with sleeves are cooler than shorts and t-shirts, or what they call a dress, but is actually a tube clinging to your skin. Guess how the people survived during summer back in the days? They kept the sun off their skin.

Excellent

This seems to be easier in metric.

Thank you ❤

Hi, I have some awesome news that will bring a smile to your face!

Beautiful.

I wear black Hanes(thicker than others) leggings under my maxi dresses and maxi skirts in Fall and Winter and a slip in the Spring and Summer. Works fine for me! Thanks for sharing!

Come back Mariah! We miss your videos.

What happened to you? I miss you! I just found you this past winter, and one of your older videos popped up a couple days ago, in the night, when I forget to set the timer on my TV and I end up "watching" TV all night while I sleep (or not sleep). LOL Anyway, I love watching you, and I love your personality, and you and your husband's story and love story. I hope you haven't decided to quit posting.

I liked every piece. Ur super talented

Love the way you think about it! 🤓❤ While I used to be very into the Kibbe system, I actually found it very difficult to fully separate the types, and place myself or others in just one category. It just feels too limiting. What I think of is also proportions. I am tall and slim. Long legs, but short torso (meaning a less defined waist, and though I don't have that much belly fat, it tends to be more visible because it is more 'squished together'). I have too much bust and hips to be a rectangle, but not enough to be a pear or hourglass. (maybe a slight pear, if I had to force myself into a category) I actually have fairly narrow shoulders, but my legs are very thin, making them appear wider than they actually are. I tried to look at my proportions as they are, and find out how to make them look their best, and most balanced. (much like you do) I do 2 things: - I try to choose exercises that work towards balancing my body. Something that develops my legs, butt and hips more, something that defines posture and shoulders (without making them wider), and I have managed to find an exercise that kind of creates some separation in the waist. - I try to focus outfits on a long vertical line, rather than a horizontal line (I did that for a long time, trying to emphasise some form of curves, and minimise my height - which didn't work that well) Practically, I found this: - I like a fit and flared style when it comes to jeans. I can't go too baggy, as it makes my legs look like toothpicks - but having the flare at the bottom gives the illusion of a coke bottle shape, while the fitted butt and thighs enhance some curve. I go for a mid high waist. Low waist makes it looks like I have no booty, but high waist makes my torso more bulky. Mid waist still enhance my curved hips, without disturbing the torso too much. - I actually avoid t-shirts, because they tend to create a horizontal line around the shoulders, making them look wider than they are, and also make my legs look even thinner, creating an inverted triangle. Instead, I go for spaghetti strap tops with a semi structured jacket (seam hitting exactly on the edge of the shoulder, hem right around the hip area) or long sleeved shirts (same seam and hem placement). Both create more of an elongated illusion, and don't 'disturb' the vertical visual. Took me a while to figure this out though. - For necklines, I prefer v-neck or a deep rounded one. It enhances the bust, and anything too close to my neck tend to make my jaw look more square and wide than it is. I do still love a boat neck or an off shoulder - but due to the horizontal line, I always make it long sleeve, and try to wear it with a short flared skirt, so it kind of balance out. I will often add a sneaker with a tall sole, or a heel, to keep some of the vertical line, since this outfit will focus more on the horizontal lines. But there will be two horizontal lines, with the waist being drawn in (creating more of an x shape). While still emphasising the length of the legs. - For skrits and dresses, a-line or slight fit and flare works best. I love a good defined waist, but as you mentioned yourself, it gets a bit too bulky on a short waist/torso. I go for short and wide, or long and wide. With short skirts that flare, I can go for slightly wider necklines, whereas with longer skirts, I try to go for a deeper one instead. It is actually very interesting once you get the hang of it. It is incredible how much you can change the impression of your body shape, by changing how you dress. 😅 But it seems increasingly more difficult to find good items in regular stores.

Thank you!

The regency wardrobe is stunning in every detail! if only you spoke much more slowly, so as to understand all of it; even with subtitles it was impossible for a foreigner to grasp it…

Hiiii very instructive video but there is something mussing to make more clear ...you didn't use "cm " bcs much countries use cm it's haaard for me to internalise inches i feel mixed up sooooo 😢😢😢😢😢 please next videos try to set as well" cm " thank you

I know this is an older video, but I was wondering if you ever planned on revisiting this pattern? I know your personal style has evolved but It's one of my favorites of yours and I revisit it all the time since I moved t9 florida. Fantastic job, these are all gorgeous

I have two pair of old leather horse riding Jodhpur boots. And I do love my leather soled boots. I always feel good wearing them. I guess There's a bit of grounding going on whilst I wear them.

Hi Maria! I just found your world building channel and went into your content and I’m in love! I’m here because I’m also an artist and I want to be an author and be able to make elaborate story like you, but I struggle with creativity when world building. I’m starting to think that the reason why is because I don’t absorb enough content for reference, so I wanted to ask if there’s any books or documentaries you might recommend that helped you make such detailed cultures? Thank you! And sorry this is a bit off topic from your video 😅

love your videos! But missing seeing them.. Whats up with you guys?

While it's not a particularly angular feature, a wide strap with a small flutter sleeve at the cap may be an option to 'save' a low summer neckline because it will give the extra width from a puff or cap without any restriction or discomfort in warm weather. It is also worthwhile to go through your existing pieces like the one too long tartan dress and try some rehemming or other modification tweaks to test the theories by making them fit the design goals you are trying to achieve. It can get you a faster path to your end goal than starting over completely from scratch. A lot of the pieces you have are very close to what you need them to be.

What a great story! So fascinating!

Did you set your machine to "stretch" mode? Your seam looks like it is just a straight stitch, though I might have missed something. but I wonder if a stretch stitch would work better... never done a full knit garment before, but for crafts with scraps it seemed to help for me.

Ok 3 years late to commenting this but I just discovered this video and tried this out, it worked so well! Thanks for sharing the knowledge ☺️

On the note of facial features relating to personality, there's actually truth to that, funnily enough! It's a psychological thing. Certain shapes evoke specific associations in the human brain (see the experiment with people matching made up words to different shapes). And we're very tuned in to people's faces. So the shapes of a person's face will make us view them in a particular way, completely subconsciously. And then when people's personality matches the expectations given by their faces, we respond more positively and comfortably with them, because it seems more harmonious and honest. This "trains" people to act in the way that gets them the most affirming reactions, all the way from childhood. And additionally, our idea of what we look like will also affect our self view. Pretty interesting stuff! Of course, personality is more complicated than that, but it's definitely a major factor

I'm so glad i found this video! I've been realizing my ideal style doesn't fit with most of what's in stores, and I want to learn to sew, so I can have a fusion between modern avant garde and historical techniques and cuts. Which means I'm going to need the fusion undergarments to go with it, so that's where I'm starting. And even though this here isn't really what I'll be doing, it will be a useful reference for when/if I want to try out knits in my weird, overly-ambitious project 😅

Thanks so much for the inspiration! I think about how my life has changed... We moved to the country and I'm tending muddy ducks and a garden. I'm working professionally only occasionally and mostly online. We now spend time with Mennonite neighbors. The ladies sew all their dresses. It now feels wrong to buy store-bought, like buying takeout instead of cooking a meal. I'm just a beginner and especially motivated because I've lost 40 pounds and still losing. I truly need clothing and I'm unwilling to buy it. Has anyone heard about the higher vibration of wool and linen?

6:45 wow. When you've mentioned a "modern expert", my first thought was immediately "Jenna Coleman" - but I wouldn't have though you'd actually go there! I have a very similar body type, dark hair, and a round face. Seeing her and her wardrobe on screen quite literally changed my life. I was never interested in giving any thought about clothes I wear, partly because of a snoobish teenage attitude, as I considered it vain - and partly because nothing that was popular and sold in stores even remotely resonated with me, or ever looked good on me, so every time I needed to buy clothes it was quite a mix of disgust, overwhelm at the amount of stuff I don't like, and feeling very down. Seeing Clara was the first time I went "This! I like all of this! It actually feels "me"!" In the end, I also build my wardrobe with a very mathematical approach. It went into a slightly different direction, as I prefer long skirts and a slightly more vintage, lacy looks - but Clara's influences were a very solid foundation, and the single most important step to actually feeling confident in my appearance.

I’ve now been sewing circle skirts for two years and finally am attempting to branch from full circle to the other sizes, and I have screenshots from October 2022 of this video I always fall back on. Thank you ❤

So lovely!!! In theatre we always leave 1" seam allowances in center back and side seams. Mostly so if later they need to be repurosed. This is also after we've made mock ups to fit perfectly! Then it's usually 1/2" seam allowances on other seams (depending on the shop). As far as draping or flat patterning I was trying to look up "wearing ease" in my patterning books but basically depending on what it is we always were told to leave a certain amount and not skin tight. For example if your waist is 26" you usually pattern for 27" unless it really bulky. For draping we had to drape with adding in the ease. If we were pulling a sloper pattern off the dress form for a basic flat patterning block then it's skin tight because the ease all depends on what you'll be flat patterning from the form (or if you are making a sloper for yourself and have made a sloper mock up). But yes, gurl! Add in that wearing ease and layer ease! 😉 There's other things I've learned from commerical patterns and patterning like the back shoulder seam is a weee bit wider and eases into the front seam. It's that little extra give when moving your arms. Patterning and how the body moves and the little secrets built into them are so fascinating!

I love this video so much. I can’t remember when I first watched it. Loved rewatching it. It’s inspiring.

can someone tell me why the measurements get bigger as we go down to smaller skirts? And how would you draw those in drafting? I mean, how is 200 inch circumference drafted on paper??

Hmm...I think what you are missing is the principles of insulation. Insulation works by trapping air between layers, so the more layers, the more air it traps...which is why housing insulation works so well, tons if tiny layers to trap air. If you use that idea in dressing, bloomers and a slip and a skirt are better than just bloomers and a skirt. 2 slips on cold days plus bloomers are even better. I love long floor length skirts in winter, but I am not wearing them for farm chores, as I get too hot. If I am going to town..they are the best, it is like wearing your bed with you...2 slips and a skirt over, I never get cold. In summer, skirts are so much cooler! Bonus with skirts, if you gain weight, pull the waist up, lose weight, waist down.

I just happened to come across your channel. I had to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I am primarily a quilter but have an interest in period clothing and it's technical construction. I haven't made clothing much in the last few years since I focus on quilting. I've never made stays, but they are on my to-do list. Thanks again for this great tutorial.

Don't be to hard on yourself. It looks very beautiful

Thank you for sharing your skills. Very clear and accurate. Specially as there are so many people that claims to know about sewing and just do such a bad job. Very grateful for your time and effort in putting this together.

Yup, that's a guinea fowl. I've raised them before, and that she looks exactly like my old birds. They are rediculously loud and obnoxious, particularly at 3 in the morning. They can make good alarm bird though. They also love to fly, and perch on TOP of the coop.

💜💜💜 love your story!! The dress is a chef’s kiss as is!! I found a pattern for the dress but I’m so glad I came across your channel!! And Congratulations!!

Can we have the long term results of these ones now?? Thanks!!

Just looking in, to see if maybe I've missed an upload or something. Miss your videos. But more importantly, I hope you're alright!

Ummm so how would a regular pattern be printed? Would an embroidery machine be able to do it at low cost?

Did you make the dress that you're wearing in the intro? It so perfectly fits the 'gamine' dress designs you compiled and created for your 'analyzing my body type' video! I haven't watched more than just clips of Doctor who, but that outfit with hair and all looks like something Clara would wear. I love the neckline, it's almost sweetheart but with more straight geometric lines, those shorter sleeves you mentioned on Clara's altered collar dress, and perfect princess seams! It looks so ready to be worn with little short biker boots and a structured leather jacket.

I keep coming back to this video when I need to feel more hope and humanity
