It’s done! My 2020 project ❤️
Okay I admit, the hat is still missing and I want to add some boning to the jacket. I might do another petticoat and a proper corset (right now I’m wearing bra+ underbust
BUT it is wearable and it’s the thing that took the most time to finish. Normally I rush things because I want something new for an upcoming event. This time I just wanted to do a bustle dress. (And I have no clue where to wear it ) I did a lot of handsewing and tried to make sure that there are no visible machine seams on the outside.
Historical accuracy was not my goal, but I had 1880s in mind as inspiration and if I can trust my limited knowledge I’d say it’s at least historical adequate Opinions?

WiP of my bustle dress gown. Made a mock-up of the bustle/apron and I think it’s too long. It’s Truly Victorians 365. I have to admit that I absolutely don’t understand the instructions for the plaket, I just use my own
For the final version, I’ll use the same blue/grey fabric I used at the jacket and maybe I’ll add some more of the lace I got from @finefrenchlaces (see last picture). I will shorten it in the front and back a bit to have more freedom when walking and to allow the underskirt to flounce a bit more
For now, I’m glad the skirt with all the pleats is finished.

That’s not a typo I really made a LEO-Victorian dress in my latest YouTube video ❤️ (Link in Bio) it’s part of the #AprilFoolsFabric Collab hosted by @opuselenae and Soshi of @costumeliterate
I’m happy I did manage to finish it within April although it was a hard run… (That editing software deserves a special place in hell…) Please have a look and tell me what you think, it’s my biggest video project so far and I’m not quite sure if I like it
Photos of the whole outfit will follow soon.

May I present: my 2020 project in all its glory ❤️
This has been my biggest project to date or at least the most time consuming one.
Being mainly a steampunk, historical accuracy was not my goal, but rather make it historical “agreeable” or historical “adequate” if there’s such a term. My main inspiration were 1880s.
Any suggestions for accessories?
Patterns used:
Hat - Butterick - Making History B6397
Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves)
Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 - 1185 Four-Gore Underskirt
Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 - 1883 August Overskirt
Corset - @cosplaymccalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction
The corset is just an underbust paired with a bra because I currently don’t have an alternative, but making one is on my list.
The bustle underskirt was bought from a theatre sale but is very similar to Truly Victorian TV108 - Grand Bustle.
Trimmings by @finefrenchlaces who happened to have the perfect shade of greyish blue.

Pattern: Truly Victorian TVE45 and TVE23
Fabric: Beaded Silk Chiffon and Silk Damask
Modification: None
Notes: Edwardian style evening gown made of a kimono style blouse and a princess seamed gored skirt. The challenge lies in fabric choice. Working beaded fabric takes a lot of patience. Most of the time were spent removing and then securing the beads. I almost felt like machine sewing didn’t really save that much time for t his at all. Hand sewing is the way to go.
As usual, Truly Victorian pattern are well drafted with clear instructions.
Possible improvement: None that I can think of but I would need to work on some historically accurate undergarments to complete the look.
