Once a year at Versailles, they throw a ball called the "Fetes Galantes". This year, for the ball, I wanted to make a truly epic gown. In this video, I describe the different steps it takes to make a gown, including information from what I learned studying other gowns I got to study personally at museums. I tried to be as historically accurate as possible, other than my liberal use of sewing machines to sew things that will not be seen on the finished gown. I also describe different methods and which patterns I used and how I adjusted them.

Personal note on the last shot: My little girl dog, Elspeth died on 2/23/2023. She was found under an abandoned house in Springfield, MO so it's not sure how old she was but she was between 11 and 13 years old. She hated being picked up and sitting on couches, so she really didn't appear in that many of my videos, but she was so incredibly loved and will be much missed. Thank you to American Eskimo Rescue of Saint Louis for rescuing her and her brother Gideon. If you're in the area, I absolutely love this organization: [ Ссылка ] and half the proceeds from this video will be going to them to help rescue other Elspeths.
