Gown was sewn on a Babylock Soprano with all the embroidery done on a Babylock Venture!
In this video, I do a deep dive into a 1901-1905 dress by Jacques Doucet's Bee Gown, as well as other gowns in that era. I also talk about how I used 60 yards of silk gauze, silk taffeta, silk satin to make this gown. All the sewing, digitizing, machine embroidery was done by me! Apologies - I do not get the entire gown done since I lost my sewing supplies in the middle of a move but I do show how the gown would have mostly looked!
