Mockup Mayhem: 1920's
This wasn't a hard mockup to make...but there were a few bumps along the road! Like pattern pieces missing. And lots of bonus pieces. And an incorrect instruction. But it felt like a breeze after tackling the nineteens...
And the finished product only makes me feel slightly like a block of concrete!

'I'm a seamstress, not a magician' should go onto my wall as a motivational quote! Great video, just joined your patreon and there is so much more to explore than I expected!
I’m fascinated by how you calculated the blowing up of the yoke on your computer. What process did you take to do this?
I did like that mock up specked fabric. New to this sent before i could spell check , feeling stupid 🤭🤬🙃
I love your work . I am not a big fan of the roaring twenties fashion , to each their own. Although theit evening gowns have much more elegance to them. The overall decade was not made to flatter a womens body. Tje sleeve looked nice fitting. It was pretty. I am looking forward to the finished product .
Considering that the ideal body of the twenties was was short and boxy, I think this is a wonderful fit! Most of the 1920s styles just don't look well on those of us who have height or curves, but you managed to pull it off nicely!
Question on Easing of the bodice: Do you think that if you had sewn a (or two? separate - one left & one right) basting thread(s) at the top of the front panel (C?) and 'eased' the top of the front panel to the yoke, you might have had a more flattering front? Do you think that doing that might have given room for breasts and made the front hang more naturally? I'm not sure because the front panel has pleats...but it might. I was thinking that this might be what the instructions had in mind...but I could be way off, of course.
I'm impressed the way you drafted the missing pattern piece with maths and Photoshop, that's incredible!
Love your littlwe hat too, btw... How did you reform it?
I see the pattern envelope has a pretty bold pattern on it! I would love to see this in a lovely spring color, like a pastel coral or light blue with some dark accents.
I agree a more light flowing fabric could be the ticket! Maybe with tiny flower print. But not too busy.
Wow. This pattern was... a nightmare, and I admire you so for making it work. Holy cow. GO YOU.
I wonder what cartoon that collar piece was!
I never understood the desire for boxy clothes. Even the shoulder pads of the 80's was weird to me. (don't tell anyone, but yeah, I wore them a time or two) (and if you cut them out, they make great inserts in a bra for that sexy disco dancer cleavage look). Anyway, bummer that some pieces were missing. Your remedy is spot on. Like the way you used the screen for a lightbox.
