I had another day out with @suvik.photography, and this time I took my 20s dresses and cocoon coat out for a spin. I also had a chance to wear the über-oriental tiara again.<br />
<br />
I made both the dresses out of vintage saris and I'm fairly pleased with them. The patterns are my own, and especially the buttercream and black one I pretty much draped on the dress form and went from there.<br />
<br />
I don't really have any proper twenties foundation garments, and in retrospect something busom-flattening would have been good. Ah well, next time.<br />
<br />
I was happy with my hairdo for once; I changed my hair care routine in the beginning of this year, with the goal of embracing my natural curls and I really love it so far. For this 20s do I refreshed my curls, set my hair in pin curls with my curling cream and slept on it. In the morning I took the curls down and managed to produce a fairly decent, pseudo-marcel waved look. Win :)<br />
<br />
For the coat I used the Folkwear Poiret Cocoon Coat pattern and I'm happy with that too.<br />
<br />
This way to the photos (which turned out too too divine).<br />

Meh. I lost interest in working on it halfway through and forced myself to finish it. I honestly don't know what it is with this suit. Maybe the colour is not my favourite, but as I had a lot of the lighter colour fabric in stash I thought I had to use it. The bodice has some fit issues and I think I need to put bones in the seams and darts to reduce the annoying wrinkling. Then again it might just be the character of the fabric. So, meh. I'm half-heartedly planning to make a hat to go with this, I have black straw braid for it.<br />
<br />
I'm wearing my late Victorian corset and chemise, plus a little sleeveless undershirt with a ruffle collar. I revised my natural form petticoat because in its earlier form it showed under the shorter skirt. I cut the hem straight, removing the slight trainage on it and put a drawstring to gather the back of the skirt around mid-thigh level. I'm also wearing a small bumpad under the skirts.<br />
<br />
Some I-don't-even-care photos here. Whatever. :P<br />

My friend is still working on the studio photos, but I have the outdoors photos and I just wanted to share because they turned out very nice. My home town has several early 20th century buildings, built either before 1910 or in 1910s, so we could take our pick really :)<br />
<br />
Edit: I got the studio photos today and added them here :) <br />
<br />
Onwards to photos! All photos @ Suvi Korpi<br />

I'm selling this 100% wool shawl, hand-knitted by me!<br />
<br />
It is new, and has never been used or worn. <br />
The yarn is roughly fingering weight and the colourway is emerald. The
shawl pattern is a combination of traditional Shetland motifs.<br />
<br /> Measurements: 210cm X 65cm<br />
<br />
<b>Price 400 EUROS</b> (mailing costs and possible customs fees not included in the price!)<br />
<br />
The shawl would be a lovely addition to any reenactor's or costumer's wardrobe from Regency era onwards, and it would work as an everyday accessory also.<br />

As I had reworked the trimming entirely, I thought to write a new post about it.<br />
Initially I was happy about the general shape of the robe but the trimmings I first put on it did not feel right. So last year I finally got around changing them and the result is in my opinion much better, frillier, and definitely much more 18th century. The trims consist of ruched robe fabric frills wit pinked edges, double edged wide lace pleated partly on top of that and partly winding around it, taffeta bows, and hand-crocheted-by-me trim on the sleeve frill edges. The petticoat is also decorated with the same lace and bows and to tie it together with the robe (since they are of different fabrics) I put a net ruffle on the hem of the petticoat. I might make a new petticoat later if I ever manage to find suitable fabric, but the one I have now works fine, too. I still have to adjust the engageantes, because I attached them too low under the sleeve frills and they reach my wrists, which they really shouldn't.<br />

Finally I made a hat to go with my 1910s walking suit and finally there's enough daylight to take decent photos!<br />
I made the suit last autumn but never got around filming it then and anyway I wanted to wait until I had the whole ensemble together before writing anything about it. I was inspired by <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/562527809696856981/" target="_blank">the suit that Hattie Morahan wears in the movie Mr. Sherlock</a>, especially for the jacket but I ended up making my skirt shorter to show the ankles so I'm still debating which exact year of the 1910s my suit represents. The jacket shape is very 1914, but the shorter skirt would place it in 1918-1919.<br />
I drafted the jacket pattern myself and first made a toile to try out the shapes. The bodice of the jacket is very typical for the 1910s: loose around the bust and back, gathered to a waist band, the shoulder seam is dropped and almost batwing style, and the sleeves are narrow and have cuffs. The collar is showy and wide and I made the back of the collar pointy too, to echo the shape of the back hem.<br />
For the skirt I used <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/548454060845393046/" target="_blank">this pattern</a> (the lower one of the two), though as said, I made my skirt shorter partly because I didn't have too much fabric and also because I wanted my ankles to show. I wrote about the gaiters I made for this suit earlier so the short skirt works better with them too. I love the tulip shape of the skirt and the smart casual feel of it.<br />
The blouse fabric is net lace fabric with very prominent embroidered stripes, and I thought that it looks very period. The blouse pattern is my own and a very simple shape. The blouse closes with buttons and thread loops as I didn't want to even try making button holes on the net... <br />
The hat was inspired by the style shown on <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/562527809699398278/" target="_blank">this fashion plate </a>(the lower left corner), and it is a soft crown hat with wire only on the brim edge. I'm going to make a couple more hats later but this was a good start; I like the quirky shapes of the 1910s headwear.<br />
<br />
The suit fabric is smokey blue velvet and the cuffs and the hem are edged with a bluey-violet fabric I had in stash (incidentally the same I used to make the Courtois dress). The hat is dark blue boucle-velvet type fabric. All hand-sewn by me :)<br />
<br />
Picture time!<br />

Here's a corset cover I made. There's nothing special about it, it's a very typical shape for the time, though I didn't want to make a drawstring waist which is a very usual feature in the 1910s corset covers. I made the waist solid here.<br />

I thought to write bit posts about the different parts of the suit before doing a proper photo shoot of the entire thing. I still need to make a hat (or two) to go with it and until I find an affordable hat block in right size I don't want to take pictures of the suit.<br />
<br />
I've fallen completely for the 1910s styles, and I especially like the 1914 fashion and also 1918-1919 styles. 1915-1917 are not as attractive in my opinion, I'm not a fan of the wide frilly skirts of those 3 years. One accessory I've always wanted to make and which went very nicely with this project are gaiters (or spats). They come up in fashion plates and mail order catalogues of the time, though sometimes it's a little difficult to tell if they're gaiters or button boots.<br />
<br />
I made my own pattern by draping it directly on my foot and leg, while wearing the shoes I intend to use with the suit anyway. I made a toile draping with some scrap cotton fabric and then cut the actual gaiters with that. The gaiters have seams at centre front and back and a button closure on the outside of the foot. they also have elastic straps that go under the shoe and attach with a button on one end (the other is sewn on, obviously). I found really nice tightly woven wool fabric (it was cheap too) and I cut all the pieces on the bias to make the gaiters fit nicely around the ankle and foot. These were mostly machine sewn and I'm especially pleased how well a special edge stitch worked on the top and bottom edges of the gaiters. I'm very happy with them and can't wait to wear them with the suit!<br />

I'm waiting to get photos of the event, but in the meantime I can finally share some pictures of the dress I made.<br />
<br />
I love it, it's the sparkliest dress I've ever had and it turned out just the way I wanted!<br />
<br />
My main inspiration came from a 1913 evening dress detailed in Nancy Bradfield's <i>Costume in Detail.</i> The drawings of that dress really helped me to work out the construction and the materials that I'd need for the dress. I also used<a href="https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O74941/evening-dress-lucile/" target="_blank"> this evening dress </a>by Lucile as a source. I used one vintage sari, taffeta, lace fabric and a bit of silk taffeta for the belt piece. I added a lot of bigger sequins and beads on the lace fabric to embellish the embroidery.<br />

I drafted the dress pattern myself and even though it looks complicated the pieces themselves are fairly simple. Basically, the dress has three layers, the base layer made of taffeta (the bodice) and the unembroidered bits of the saree (the base hem), the lace fabric layer with the right sleeve covers the base bodice and hem, and the third layer is the embroidered sari which is the shorter top hem, the left sleeve and the train. Then on top of everything there's the sash. They are all attached to each other but the fastenings of the dress go through all the layers as the pictures below show.<br />

I'm selling this 18th century robe a l'anglaise I made some years ago.<br />
<br />
The fabric is red and white striped cotton blend and the robe is entirely handsewn. The bodice is lined with cotton (pink in the bodice, white in the sleeves). The back is cut in en fourreau style.<br />
<br />
The robe has been stored in a pet free, non-smoking home. I have worn it once at an indoors event, but it is like new, there is no stretching, stains or smell. I have since fixed the trimmings and added bones on the centre front edges.<br />
<br />
The robe closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. It is trimmed at the cuffs and neckline with pleated strips of the robe fabric (both edges of the trimming strips are handrolled).<br />
<br />
The hem can be worn straight or tied up in polonaise style. There are ties on the inside to lift the hem up.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Please note that I'm only selling the robe, NOT the petticoat or any other accessories visible in the photos below!</b></u><br />
<br />
The info in a nutshell:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Price 200€ + mailing costs</b></u><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Measurements (as taken on the garment)</b><br />

If anyone still remembers, I set up a 1910s challenge for myself and some costumer friends to commemorate and celebrate the centennary of independence this year here in Finland. The plan is simply to make a garment from any year of the 1910s and eventually get together to admire our handiwork and toast the 100-year-old nation.<br />
<br />
So far I've made undergarments and an armistice blouse which I'm planning to complete with a walking suit, but the most progress I've made with the evening dress. I thought I'd share some of the in progress photos now, but leave the final reveal and in detail post for later, possibly until December. We are planning to dine in grand style on the 6th of Dec., the Independence day, so I won't show the whole dress until then :)<br />
<br />
In preparation for this particular dress, I rounded up some fabrics from my stash, recycled some pieces for the under layers, and bought some new fabrics too.<br />
<br />
I had this second hand embroidered saree I had bought ages ago:<br />

I have this one extant evening dress from 1914 that I'm using as my reference and inspiration, and it had a lace midlayer, so I followed suit. I bought sequined lace fabric on Etsy and I have since sewn more sequins and beads on it.<br />

I've been busy with my dissertation and dance so I haven't done a lot of sewing lately, but just last Saturday I went to the 18th century Spring Masquerade again, arranged by L'Amusette in Tampere. Here's a couple of photos of me wearing the <a href="http://shadowofmyhand.blogspot.fi/2016/10/1790s-round-gown-and-beaded-bodice.html" target="_blank">1790s round gown and beaded bodice </a>ensemble I made last autumn.<br />

Granted, it is a bit later fashion than the roughly 1914 look I'm generally going for with my 1910s project, but I like the look and to me it epitomises the way that 1910s fashion developed to a more casual and usable direction.<br />
<br />
I found nice buttercream linen in my stash, just enough for a blouse like this. <br />
<br />
I didn't use a specific pattern though I worked on the basis of the Folkwear Armistice blouse pictures and reviews. I used my own plain bodice and sleeve pattern, lenghtened the shoulders of the back piece to wrap over to the front as a yoke, gathered the front pieces to the shoulders and made a centre panel of a separate piece. The blouse is mostly handsewn and the side seams and the sleeves have French seams on the inside to keep the fabric from fraying. I made the centre panel pin tucks on the machine. The buttons on the front are decorative because I can slip the blouse on over my head. I hate making buttonholes, so that's a plus. I pleated the back piece of the blouse loosely and sewed a ribbon on top to help with the gathering of the hem. <br />
<br />
I'll take more pictures of it on me and with a skirt once I've made one, but for now this has to do.<br />

I've started a 1910s project partly because I've been planning that for a long time and partly because this year is the centenary of independence in Finland and I wanted to do something costumey for it. I even put together a loose outline of a sewing challenge for my reenactor and costumer friends around here and I think we'll have an event or two around this theme later in the year. The basic idea of that challenge is to make some kind of outfit in the fashion of 1910s; everybody can choose the year they like best, for me it's turning out to be 1914.<br />
<br />
So far I've been sewing the underthings, of course, and they're finally done. I made a shift, a corset, a petticoat and a corset cover.<br />
<br />
The shift is a simple shape, with a lace yoke and straps, a drawstring at the waist and a gusset flap that buttons on the front and back hem between the legs. I modelled it after <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/562527809689541780/" target="_blank">this and other similar 1910s examples</a>:<br />

I made the corset using the 1910s pattern provided by Jennifer of <a href="http://www.festiveattyre.com/p/reconstructing-1910s-era-corset.html" target="_blank">Festive Attyre</a>. I found her instructions very thorough and useful though I could've chosen a better fabric and in retrospect the corset turned out a bit too big for me. But to take it apart is just too much for me after the super annoying sewing process (bad fabric choice, sewing machine playing up, nerves in frays, not good).<br />

Because I've narrowed my wardrobe choices roughly on 1914, I needed a relatively narrow petticoat which I modelled after <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/562527809689002804/" target="_blank">this advertisement picture</a> from 1914. The skirt is narrow at the hips and there is a box pleated hem flounce that starts at knee-height.<br />

Lastly, I made a little corset cover blouse. Many such blouses of the era seem to have been loose-fitting and baggy at the bodice, with a drawstring at the waist but somehow that didn't work for me. Also, I'm cheating a little: I'm wearing a modern bra under my shift in these photos. Going without just felt too emancipated and uncomfortable and I wasn't able to tuck the shift into my corset securely enough to support the bust (as they apparently did in 1914). I might make a 1914 version of a brassiere later if I feel like it.<br />

Next up will be a walking suit. I'm fascinated by the <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/slpjg/1910s-baggy-skirt/" target="_blank">baggy skirt fashion of 1910s</a> and will try to produce something similar. I also have a vintage saree set aside for an evening dress.<br />
For inspiration I've compiled a couple of pinboards of <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/slpjg/1910s-fashion/" target="_blank">1910s fashion</a> and <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/slpjg/1910s-underwear/" target="_blank">1910s underwear</a> .<br />

I've done some sewing, but haven't got around taking photos. Today I took the trouble to dress up in a 1790s dress and bodice I finished recently, and I'm rather pleased with the look.<br />
For the gown I used the Tidens Toj pattern for a 1790s round gown. I originally cut the hem a bit too short so I had to add a strip of fabric on it to remedy that blunder. I ended up turning that strip of fabric double and actually I rather like the way it looks and gives the hem a little bit of weight and body.<br />
The fabric is this lovely very lightweight and almost see-through silk-viscose blend that I've used for chemisettes earlier but I always knew I wanted to make a Regency gown out of it as well.<br />
<br />
The beaded bodice is a Regency era acessory that seemed to be popular in the early years 1800s; there are several fashion plates depicting different variations. The beading pattern I chose to make may not be exactly period but I like it anyway.<br />

<b>Me:</b> Sure, why not.<br />
<br />
<b>The Museum of Old Vaasa: </b>Yay, come on over, we'll throw in a free entry day just because! And guided tours in two languages! And we'll write
a press release with pictures and publish it in the local paper!<br />
<br />
This
really is how it went. The weather was worse than the last time (fairly
rainy throughout the day) but we had our picnic indoors and still
managed to do a bit of croqueting and graces and dancing in between the
showers of rain. So many of our reenactor friends travelled over from
Tampere and even accross the water from Sweden(!!) and we had a jolly
old time.<br />

It's sheer cotton which I dyed blue; the original colour was a drab mousy grey. Dyeing it with the ocean blue colourway made it nice Prussian blue which is so right for Regency and I really like the tone, so win!<br />
<br />
I used the same bodice pattern as with the white fern dress, but I left of the neckline borders and made the neckline gathered instead. The sleeves are 3/4 length and I used my 18th century pattern for them. The dress closes with 4 hooks and thread loops, a tape tie underbust and a gathering ribbon on the neckline. Simple as you please.<br />
<br />
I might embroider the dress later, but it works as it is. I like the lightness of it and I'm going to wear it to the Gustavian Day picnic we're having in my town next Saturday.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the dress with all my fabulous hats :)<br />

<br />
I just put finishing stitches on a new Regency hat!<br />
<br />
Ever since I saw <a href="https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/546905948468743325/" target="_blank">Lucy Steele's square-top hat </a>in the 1996 Sense and Sensibility (that movie is bursting with the loveliest hats), I've been fascinated by the style. First (long before my costuming hobby) I thought that the hat looked silly, rather like an upside down flower pot, but it's grown on me over the years.<br />
<br />
I found out that this square top business was a military thing, like many other fashion fads in the 18th and 19th century. Apparently, the Polish lancers' uniforms included a really rather strange-looking shako-type hat with a square top, here are some examples:<br />

So, I took the idea and ran with it. Luckily I had already made a concave crown bonnet for the <a href="http://shadowofmyhand.blogspot.fi/search/label/Vernet%20project" target="_blank">Vernet Project</a> last year, so I had some idea of how to make the shape work. A quick paper mock-up, a bit of tweaking and I was good to go. I noticed that to spread the side piece in order to create the concave shape with a square top it was better to cut openings on the side piece where the corners of the top would go and one more opening on each side of that and leave the sides otherwise uncut. I used the same brim pattern as before but cut it slightly narrower.<br />
<br />
The hat base is needlepoint canvas, double layers on the brim and square top, with wires sewn on the edges. The whole thing is covered with cerulean velvet, lined with cotton and taffeta and trimmed with assorted ribbons and feathers I had in stash. I'm fairly pleased with it :)<br />

Wasn't it about a year ago that I posted about an early 60s style dress I had made? Here I am again, writing another post on the same/similar topic.<br />
<br />
As I've said <a href="http://shadowofmyhand.blogspot.fi/search/label/1960s" target="_blank">before </a>I have a simple sixties-style dress pattern I've used several times. Guess what, I did it again. Marimekko had a fabric sale in their online shop and I fell into that trap... This particular company runs reprints of their iconic sixties fabrics and I bought the 'Puketti' fabric in blue. While I was in the throes of a sewing seizure anyway I decided to redo another Marimekko dress I had made a couple of years ago. I shortened the hem a little and also the bodice which I had originally cut a bit too long.<br />
<br />
So, a couple of nice dresses ready for the summer :) <br />

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I hate and despise making stays.<br />
<br />
I finished a pair of 18th century stays yesterday. Big woop. I don't know what it is but I feel kind of 'meh' about them.<br />
<br />
They're white, linen and cotton, bound with bias tape, boned with plastic bone and zip ties. The pattern is the same as with <a href="http://shadowofmyhand.blogspot.fi/2013/07/the-chinoiserie-stays.html" target="_blank">the Chinoiserie stays</a>, though I arranged the boning a bit differently.<br />
<br />

They had a very interesting exhibition on called "Japanomania" and it basically dealt with the japonisme boom that was all the rage in Europe during the latter half of 19th century. The fad reached Finland (and other Nordic countries) a bit later than the rest of Europe, but it was very popular and many artists of the Finnish golden age lived in Paris and other large European cities at the turn of the century, soaking up influences and applying them to their own work. It was very interesting to learn that japonism had a strong influence in the development of the Finnish Jugend (Art Nouveau/national romantic/Arts and Crafts) style.<br />
<br />
But I digress. As I was viewing the paintings and artefacts I came accross The Pink Dress again. A little explanation: last year I made my first natural form gown based on this painting by Gustave Courtois:<br />

My dress is blue but pink seems to have been a popular colour with the French ladies, or then the artists liked the colour particularly. The Japanomania exhibition had these two paintings by Albert Edelfelt and Gunnar Berndtson:<br />

This leads me back to the pink dress in the Courtois portrait, and this painting by Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (Courtois's friend and Anne-Marie's (see first painting) husband):<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-RrC6D5HZ7OQRD6_4bTtAq-7aE-GxlmwlwdLRWDNy0Mi-zVKT9smCNPnA8ZL6N29AWoX7U-LMsm75b5L0X9Q2hleUAFH6GRSifVG-EiGL1ldvVXjqSsWsyBfAFb-RvSIKBYDDUiN6NvmK/s1600/Anne-Marie+dress+from+behind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-RrC6D5HZ7OQRD6_4bTtAq-7aE-GxlmwlwdLRWDNy0Mi-zVKT9smCNPnA8ZL6N29AWoX7U-LMsm75b5L0X9Q2hleUAFH6GRSifVG-EiGL1ldvVXjqSsWsyBfAFb-RvSIKBYDDUiN6NvmK/s320/Anne-Marie+dress+from+behind.jpg" width="176" /></a></div>
<br />
When I first found this painting, I thought that it showed Anne-Marie's dress (portrayed in the Courtois painting) from the back and in full length. But now I'd be inclined to think that this ^ dress, and the ones in the Edelfelt painting and the Berndtson painting following it are actually the same piece of clothing.<br />
<br />
Of course there is no way of knowing if all these three dresses are actually the one and same dress, but there are some details that do point to that direction.<br />
<br />
First, the collar. In Edelfelt and Berndtson paintings it's obvious, the dress is the same. I can't be so sure with the Dagnan-Bouveret painting, but it would <i>seem </i>so:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The middle dress looks like it could have the same lapels as the other two. The collar ruffle is there, though.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Then there's the waistband and the basque style of the bodice:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The dress on the left is the Dagnan painting and it definitely has a prominent waistband piece. Since the other two dresses are the same and have the waistband, I'd be inclined to argue that all three are the same. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The dress (and possibly also the model) is the same in all these paintings. According to the info I found<a href="http://kirjeitamyllyltani.blogspot.fi/2015/03/edefelt-dagnan-bouveret-courtois-ja.html" target="_blank"> here</a>,
this is not surprising, since Albert Edelfelt and Gunnar Berndtson both
used the same model for their paintings, namely Antonia Bonjean, who
features also in this painting by Edelfelt (wearing another (or the same?) pink dress): <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Are you still with me? All these artists (Courtois, Edelfelt,
Dagnan-Bouveret and Berndtson) actually had studios in the
same building in Paris at one point in the late 1870s. They also had the
same model sitting for them all, pictured in several paintings painted
within no more than 5 years. I think that's very interesting and also
the artists kept liking the pink dress.<br />
<br />
After taking such a good look at all these paintings and especially the dress I'm sort of half-heartedly planning another natural form gown, based on the pink dress. I don't know when I will have time to make it (March madness, so busy at the moment) and I'm not really sure about the colour but I like the shape and the froufrou of the dress and its connection to the Finnish artists. <br />

It's sort of 30s-40s inspired little number that turned out very nice in the end though I initially had my doubts. I had no set pattern for this dress, instead I combined several blouse and dress patterns and cobbled together something that corresponded to my vision.<br />
<br />
The fabric is viscose, with black and cream stripes and because I wanted the dress have a little 'something' I cut the pieces on the bias and tried to place them carefully so that they made large chevron pattern at the seams. The dress has a zipper at the back and first I thought to have the neckline open too at the front (it actually has a slit and a hook and eye closure) but I then put on the giant bow and had to stitch it's upper corners on the dress for it to keep its shape.<br />
<br />
I did most of the sewing by hand because of the bias cut; it would've been too fiddly on the machine, I feel.<br />

Not that I really went anywhere but my blogging break was a bit longer than intended. I have a lot of stuff going on at work and with dancing, and there are also several projects on the sewing table so it should be a busy year and no mistake.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I finished knitting a new pair of stockings and I'm very pleased with them. They are a simple toe-up model, the pattern is my own and I used a common toe and gusset increase method, as well as a common heel option for toe up socks. The yarn is silk and merino wool blend and I knitted the stockings with needles that are maybe 1-1.5 in metric size.<br />
