A Yellow 1950's Dress : Sewing Vlog
Sorry this is so similar to my last video - I planned on staggering the 50's themed content (and vlogs) a bit, but that isn't how the schedule worked out.
This was a fun little "procrastination" project I took on while I was super stressed out about deadlines. That is healthy, right?
Maybe not. But a least I ended up with a pretty dress!

Not related to this video specific, but I was wondering how this Patreon support system works for you. In your Patreon announcement video you explained how the normal YouTube scheme financially did not work out and never justified the hours you invested. I guess we all wish the Patreon support does make it work for you, but with all the materials you need and the many invested hours I really hope it does. If you ever plan to make a “behind the scenes” video on that, I’d definitely be interested.
I love that dress!! When you showed one of your giant boxes of trim, it reminded me. I'd be really interested in a tour/walkthrough of all your lace and trim collection.
Absolutely adorable! Love, love, love it! Looks great on you!
LOVE THIS DRESS! And you look Darling in it.
In Victorian times they used to add a half inch of leather to the fabric loop of the hem to weigh it down to ensure the skirt didn’t fly up.
I also heard that the royal family use to have penny's sewn into the hems of their dresses, to stop them flying up with the wind.
I've noted that a lot of 50's dresses had large hems (4 - 5 inches). On children's clothes, I can see the extra material being used to lengthen the dress as a child grows, but not sure why adult dresses also had this large hem. Does the extra weight at the hem, make the dress hang better. ??? Does anyone know why hems were so large ???
It helps with how the dresses lay, since such lightweight fabrics were used. It also meant store-bought dresses could be altered to fit people of different heights. And if you passed them on, the next owner could adjust the height too!
i love you content and i have a idea/hope that you can make a dress from black butler(kuroshitsuji) ciel phantomhive pink ballgown dress and hat in a history accurate victoria dress
That color is very flattering on you! And the dress turned out wonderfully.
Another adorable dress! Great job! Love it!
The dress is absolutely adorable! And very flattering. How did you make the matching hairpiece?
I have a video about making it which should be up soon!
Such a cute dress (I love that trim and the button placket especially), I keep getting told how people get a buzz when I mention them in a vlog and I now know exactly what they mean 😊 thank you for making your videos I love watching them all
