Making a skirt covered in bee embroidery! 🐝🐝🐝 (Based on one from the Edwardian Era - 1900s Sewing)

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!

    The blue bees remind me of the Australian blue-banded bee, although it is not anatomically correct, of course! I love that you stuck to good (Asian) clouds 🌥 The embroidery is beautiful, just stunning. That outfit is shaping up to be my favourite of all that you have done!

You do amazing work and I wish I had even half of your talent and skill! One day maybe, you're a fabulous inspiration ma'am! I know I'm late to the party and you may not see this or remember an earlier comment I left asking you to speak slower - or if you even saw that to begin with... But if all of that sounds familiar, thanks a mill! I notice a difference and it is easier to follow along as you're speaking now! Can't wait to see the next part!

    Great video. And I am not sure if this has already been noted, but blue/black bees actually exist! They are one of europe biggest bee type (often mistaken for bumble bees because they are so huge and thicc) and they have blue wings and a blueish black body! So embroidering blue bees would have been scientifically accurate! The name is Xylocopa violacea if you want to look it up. My sister has a few in her garden and tehy are so, so pretty. The family of the Euglossini also can have some blue-ish tones, although they are more greenish.
