I Made a Modern Medieval Dress! (and it made me feel like the main character)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
In the continuing quest of making a comfortable, flattering and #historybounding wardrobe, I wanted to try and incorporate some more medieval vibes into it, so this dress is inspired by a kirtle. I have made a few kirtles over the years (getting better at it with every failure lol) and I’ve found they can be very comfortable, flattering, easy to make, and very economical in fabric use (all things we love over here!). If you are like me and find modern clothes a bit disappointing (they usually do not make me look good), then maybe try making a few pieces that reflect more how you want to look!
I wore this dress out this past weekend when I visited the beach and some more landscapes and I was warm, comfortable, and I hadn’t felt that good about myself in a long time - it was a good reminder of how powerful clothes can be. Anyway! I hope this is helpful if you hope to tackle a similar project yourself. As I mentioned, I had 5 meters of linen, and I ended up having over a meter left over. I also used about half a meter of a heavier linen as interlining for the bodice and one zipper.
I think I will be making a fitted bodice and pleated skirt dress for everyday too, but trying to fit less volume in that waistband to make it more flattering. I think I’ll also try to make a shorter traditional kirtle, with the front lacing, for everyday too! I might have some medieval/16th century adventures soon...
