Making a Black and White 1950s Dress!
I had BIG project plans for this Valentine's day - including a bright red sequin evening gown, with a matching corset underneath. But that didn't turn out quite as planned and it'll be another week before I can share anything relating to it.
However, I did manage to finish the vaguely Valentine's Day related dress. It's made out of a quilting cotton covered in black hearts. This fabric really caught my attention because it was so bold and different from all the other red and pink prints. I grabbed up 4 yards of it, and some matching striped material, and turned it into this!
I'm really happy with the dress - and the hat I made to go with it (if you missed that video, you can find it here!). It might be a bit funky for everyday wear but it's definitely something I'll see in my closet and smile at!

Angela, I see you acquired several new rings. Any chance you will show them to us in an upcoming video? It's difficult to see them in detail when the footage is sped up!
Well, you may have missed out on the $3 collar board, but I wanted to thank you, because watching your videos taught me to recognize a collar board when I see one. I bought one at a local thrift store for $4 a few weeks back. The people working there didn’t know what it was!
I really like the design of this dress, and the worn photos look absolutely stunning! Image how much nicer the streets would look if this was the current fashion!
Totally Adorable and Totally Valentines. I love Red (like, a lot! my initials spell RED) but not everything needs to be all red & pink for it to right for the Holiday.
This is goregous it really suits you x
I loved this whole video, thank you for the patterns, both bodice and hat. I hope you recorded some of the foundations you've been making, that sounds like so much fun. Very excited about your upcoming "elaborate" costumes ❤️
I had ear buds in watching this. When your phone rang I thought my phone was ringing, lol.
Mid-century clothes are made for curves! ...and curvy rocks! Don’t feel bad about your changing body...you are a beautiful young woman. ♥️
GASP ANGELA!! great dress, amazing video. I love your choice of the trims on the collar. Also that nail polish is 👌💖
