I Bought a Titanic Era Couture Gown ( OMG 😭) / Unboxing Antique Edwardian Women's Clothing

I bought a 1909-10 (Titanic-Era) couture evening dress for cheap and I basically lost my mind when I opened up the box. I hope all of you Edwardian enthusiasts are ready for a shockingly well preserved Coquenhem & Cie Black silk chiffon goodness that is coming your way. Cause this antique dress is *stunning*.

If you've ever been curious about how couture gowns were made during the early 1910s, this video will help uncover a lot of their (insane) secrets. How this dress has survived in such good condition is truly a mystery. Dressmakers, couturiers, and seamstresses in the early 1900s were some of the bravest makers I think that have ever existed because silk chiffon shouldn' be able to withstand this much weight. I hope all of you fashion historians, historical costumers, seamstresses, and Titanic history and film fans will enjoy this unboxing. This piece is truly a treasure.

We make a passing reference in the video, but this gown was made using almost identical techniques found in Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 2: Englishwomen's dresses and their construction c. 1860-1940. It's currently out of print, but the School of Historical Dress will be re-releasing the book in the future.
