This video is a detailed, step-by-step tutorial for sewing an 1840s dress. In this video, I recreated an original dress from 1847 by modifying the Laughing Moon 114 sewing pattern. Techniques covered in this video include sewing a hem facing, sewing piping, creating a fan front dress, and sewing cartridge pleats.
