Making a PINK Chemise a la Reine! | Sewing an 18th Century Inspired Dress

In this video I tackle my fear of chiffon and chemise dresses to make a glorious metallic pink historically inspired confection.


✩ Things mentioned ✩

The fabric was all from Fabric Mart

I used the Musée de la Toile de Jouy Chemise a la Reine as a visual reference for drafting. But I added ruffles for obvious reasons.

The pattern mentioned (not favorably) from an earlier attempt is from this book (this is an affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3znombB
