Black Diamond 1940's Dress
Today I'm attempting to recreate a design from the Butterick counter book from 1945!

Omg! Woman, preen about💃🏻✨ Lol, I get however that you may not be into all eyes on you for long and you have many tastes and ideas that you consider. You do a remarkable job giving your viewers what we need to learn! I personally find all your finish details inspiring and delightful, so take my suggestion as a grain of salt or full on permission to ad time on to your magnificent reveals❤️🔥 PS. I got my Hellen Joseph Armstrong pattern making book today🤩 eeeps, I’m so excited! First task is to redraft a collar for my made from pattern blouse :) thank you for teaching me to land in this place of pattern draft curiosity and adventure! T.
Fabulous! My one and only request is to give us more time in the reveal to marvel at your finished patterns! Everything is so lovely. I adore how you include the details of drafting, pleats and finishing,,,please please let us have more time to drink in the finished project! My eyes love to take in your set, lighting and camera work. I then need more time to take in your fine accessories, hair and makeup and of course the details in the garment in all their finished glory! Your details are impeccable, I get so much out of taking it all in. Thank you thank you:)
Thank you Tisha! I often think I shouldn't linger on the modeling bits for too long lest people think I'm just vainly preening about, but it does make sense folks should like to see things! 😅 I shall try to be more lingering in the future!
I love this dress and the shiny diamond adds just the right amount of glamour and style. The V would be too low for me too. Definitely you look wonderful wearing it.
Thank you Marie!
Stunning! This is so chic, I will have to try to make this some day.
Thank you Kelly!
Love shoulder pads! Still think the diamond shape looks good. If someone comments on it when you’re wearing this gorgeous dress, then they’re too close. Sending best wishes from Down Under💚💚💚🐈⬛📚🥰🇦🇺😎
Thank you Rhonda! Much too close at that point indeed 😂
Simply gorgeous …. even though you made mistakes it’s good to watch and also learn with you how to correct them … the diamond centre is a lovely detail .
Thank you!
Just love your content. I know it's frustrating to make mistakes but it is nice to see how to keep going with mistakes included. Thank you.
Thank you Michelle! Its frustrating in the moment for sure, but usually not project ending at least whew!
I'm making a 40's wardrobe at the moment and this certainly helps!
Enjoyable as always!
Thank you Debra!
Love this black diamond. It adds to that extreme hourglass illusion!
Thank you Thea!
This was a great video. I really like that you showed your "mistake" and then how you can fix the mistake next time. Also - I love your "ramblings" in the videos you do. Don't ever change!!!
Thank you Donna! I had a few missteps on this one 😅
Love the outcome! And your eyeshadow🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Diana!
I love that you explain your thought process and show all your mistakes and how you correct them. Very helpful for me. I love watching your videos. I feel like I can do pattern drafting too (we will see how I get on next week). Keep ‘em coming x
Thank you Joanne!
I’ve been watching YouTube videos for a long while now and felt like I was missing something. So I’m over here now for all of the extra videos. I’m very excited.
Thank you so much for your support!
