Sewing Italian Renaissance Pattern for IH EID

Apr 5, 2016

Watch Thread
    1. I've put together a tutorial with free patterns and full instructions for Italian Renaissance style costume to fit an Iplehouse EID. The patterns were designed to fit an IH EID with Medium bust, and also fits an IH SID with medium chest, as well as An older Soom Super Gem body.

      The Tutorial also includes patterns with instructions for a fagged-sleeve variation....

    4. I've been looking for a dress pattern for my girl--going to have a fantasy doll--and I'm glad I found these! They're gorgeous and the patterns make it so simple. Thanks for sharing these!

    5. They look rather extravagant, but are really quite simple to make - ESP with all my shortcuts

    6. They really are! I was quite happy that you put those in there. It makes reading the patterns so easy. Now all I need is an eyelet punch and I'm ready to sew!

    13. I tried your pattern and yes it's not that hard. I only have to change it a little bit for my Impldoll Starbody... The overdress fit perfectly but I cant close the underdress

    14. I'm glad you didn't find it too difficult. When making something for a doll other than the one the pattern was designed for, it's always a good idea to first make a test bodice out of some cotton to check for fit. But at least it's the underdress , so that won't show. You could always add an extension onto the back bodice so it can close and do up with snaps.

    15. some steps need rereading it at least 5 times and I messed up one sleeve first :XD:. I think if I cut the darts wrong. I forgot cuting them and done it after pulling the bodice through the shoulders. Or I added not enough seam allowance? It´s not that much and it´s not visible. I will lace it after getting more eyelets. After all it´s a pretty dress and I have still enough fabric from my never sewn cosplay over to make 2 more.
      Thank you for this pattern :D

    22. Not only is this absolutely gorgeous, but it's also completely historically accurate, from what I can tell. My resident European history expert, Dad, concurs. Seriously incredible.

    23. @lgijbels - You're welcome!

      @TheBirdNerd - Thanks! I try to make my costumes LOOK historically accurate, but their construction is anything but. I'm not a stickler for all the layers of clothing that would really have been worn. My goal is to design the costumes so they are relatively easy to make, and still look good.

    24. I can relate. My main job is reconstructing colonial garments, and the motto I eventually adopted is, "if you can't see it with the naked eye, machine sew that sucker". Plus, if seamstresses from Renaissance Florence or Federal Philadelphia had access to the kind of shortcuts we do, I have no doubt they'd use them. Keep up the amazing work!

    25. Thank you thank you for the tip on pleating instead of gathering the skirt. It takes a while but the end result is so nice and even.

    28. @TheBirdNerd - Plus, it's one thing making historically accurate costumes for people, but dolls don't have soft bodies, so I never saw the point in making all the layers of undergarments for them. Not if I want a nice silhouette.

      @silveryarn - You're welcome! I pleat almost all my 'gathered' skirts. Not only is it easier to get a lot of fabric to fit into a small waistband, but it also looks a lot neater. It is a bit more work, but the end result is so worth it.

      @LIANA - You're welcome!

      @Anita2006 - Thanks! I hope you can use some of them.

    32. I just found this thread (Feb 2018), but had found this tutorial at AntiqueLilac.com a year ago. I've made two costumes using it. I love how easy her instructions are to follow.
