Hey its becky!!! from england. These are amazing dresses, im so buying one. I love them! I will email u back today! xx
I'm going to do 1860s dress which can be used in reenactment or in historical camp. I would like to have cuite small crinoline, and plain dress. Where did you took pattern to your hoops?
I have made 18th century dresses and some 1870-90s clothes, but 1860s is new for me.
Probably I'm going to order few "Past patterns".
Sorry about my bad english, and regards from Finland!
Hello again Lady E.! I ordered my hoop already made from Timless Stitches here: http://www.tstitches.com/store/underpinningspg2.htm
But I would love to make one one day. I think Past Patterns should be a good place to start. That is probably who I would order a pattern from for a hoop. They also make my favorite 1860's dress pattern here: http://www.pastpatterns.com/702.html
Any more questions feel free to ask! I did Civil War reenacting for awhile so I have a few resources. :) Thanks for stopping by and best of luck with your sewing adventures! ~Anna
I'm making my first crinoline, I took patterns from Jean Hunnisett: Period Costume for Stage & Screen, patterns for womens dress 1800-1909. Its maybe not period correct, but I want to do something before I got pattersn from Past patterns. Have you used truly victorian patterns? Do you know truly victorian bulletinboard?
Hello again. :) How exciting! I'd love to make my own crinoline one of these days. I haven't used many of Truly Victorian's patterns yet. I'd love to try some because they're just beautiful! I hadn't ever been on their bulletin board before...thanks for pointing it out! I also love visiting the Sense and Sensibility forum www.sensibility.com There are a ton of ladies on there with a wealth of information! I'm so excited for your sewing adventures. Do you have a blog? Would love to see pictures of your work. :) ~Anna Kristine
Yes, I have sewing blog, mut its in Finnish :) But there is few pictures. http://ompelija.vuodatus.net/ I think I should start blog which is in Finnish and English... But my English is not good :)
I found today very cheap silk, it was about 5 euros/meter, so I bough it 5 meters. First fabric is silk, second cotton, and last one is printed cottonpoplin. http://ompelija.vuodatus.net/
Oh, your work is beautiful Lady E! I wish I could understand Finish, but the pictures were wonderful to look at anyway. :) Your crinoline is amazing. I'm so inspired to try making one now. :) And that's such a great price for silk! Your dress is looking wonderful! How exciting! ~Anna Kristine
Hello! My fabric was 45" wide so I did 4 panels to make it 180" total. If your fabric is 60" then you would only need to do 3 panels. As to the length, measure from the waist of your crinoline to the floor (or however far you want your hem to come down) and then add enough to your measurement for a hem. Any more questions, feel free to ask! :) ~Anna Kristine
Hey, I love your dresses, and a while ago I purchased the green tea dress. I am in love with Mina's red dinner dress (from Bram Stoker's Dracula). I was wondering, would you be able to make that? And, if so, what do you think you might charge? Thank you so much! My email is adt12@aol.com. -Alle

Hello!
How much you put fabric to your skirt? Fabric length and wide? Was wide 45" or 60". My fabrics are 60". So how wide skirt should be?

Ok.
I thought 4,5 meter wide skirt should be fine.
But now I want to do new corset, so I try to do this http://haabet.dk/patent/39964/index.html
