Following a 1980s Sewing Pattern
The 80s ensemble is done!
Believe it or not, this was one of my favorite things to make from this series. The instructions were soo good, very to the point and clear. It came together really quickly and I'd definitely purchase more "Very Easy Vogue" patterns in the future.
It was also my favorite to style, with the teased hair and all (though the humidity kind of killed it).
However, it isn't my favorite visually. I think the pieces could be styled separately to look quite cute...but together? I have the shape of a box. A literal rectangle. At least the process of getting there was enjoyable!
Now onto the 90s...

Hi Angela, I found you on YouTube and I love the vision of your channel and the energy you have for your videos on YouTube. I am inspired to reach out and support you in anyway I can, as a representation of BBTV. Are you currently exploring partnership opportunities? Do you have an active email for business opportunities?
You know, individually these pieces are cute, but the pairing of elastic-waisted shorts WITH a blazer is really bizarre.
You are definitely starring in a John Hughes movie in this look so you nailed the 'iconically 80s' style. I hhaattteee chiffon and elastic waistbands as well, so that comment made me laugh.
Super cute! Ha ha ha - the 80s were all about the big, boxy look. :-D
I'll have you know that big shoulder pads in the 80s were used for "power suits" for women! But yeah, every decade has its fashion mistakes. I was born in 1974 so I went through the 80s and the 90s as a child/teenager/college grad, and wore things I regret. In my defense, EVERYONE was wearing it, too! Kind of like today, where skinny high-waist jeans are EVERYWHERE and finding anything else is really tough. I hope you wear the iconic Steve Madden platform slides for your 1990s outfit--almost every female I know owned that shoe!
If there was ever an 80s outfit, this is it. Good work as always!
I actually really like the style on you. A different blouse might be ideal though.
Nice! You are wearing the same puffy hairdo I wore from back in the day!
You look 100% like you stepped out of Heathers in that outfit. Love it!
Omg I haven’t even seen the video yet, but I’m so excited, you look so CUTE!!
Yay for shoulder pads!
Love enormous shoulder pads.
I love shoulder pads.
So cute! Looks like you were in an 80s movie. I hope we see videos for the riding dress and the Vivandeare dress soon. (I’m getting ready to start the chemise from M7915.)
Wow, I was born in '81, and just looking at this outfit, I can smell the Aquanet from the past, lol! This is an iconic look from the eighties!!
I'm from the 80s and this is sooooooooooo cute. I can feel the growing pains.
