I Made an Edwardian Summer Dress (Part 2)

Yet more Edwardian-era history bounding from me—but honestly, this one might be my favorite yet. My Edwardian / late Victorian capsule wardrobe is officially growing 😳

In this video, I work through a variety of lace insertion techniques, using both hand sewing and machine sewing on my vintage Singer. I hope you enjoy watching this project come together!
