Making a 1940's Halloween Dress

Definitely making this beauty! It's gorgeous

Thanks so much for demonstrating the peplums 😍 I think I’m going to give that a try!

God I wish I could sew!!! The closest I'll get is mending and embroidery. But I do love to watch you and listen to your narration. This came out beautiful! You are actually the one who inspired me to add beading to my embroidery so you did teach me something! Feel better soon sending you love and boops!

This is so cute! Hope the cough goes away soon. I'm currently beading my Halloween outfit, it's taking so much time. I am still in awe of how much detailing you manage. Love the fluffy moth brooch

Oh yes, that shade of orange with the black looks great! I can picture a cute swishy old fashioned bowling jacket out of those colours. You do such lovely work! I used to do martial arts and when you were doing the sash, it reminded me of how there was a special way we had to tie our belts (I only ever made it to red) so they would make this flat little diamond shape. A silly memory to have come up, but anyway, I like your dress and hi to Leonard and friends!

I just loved the black and orange! Orange is my favorite color, which is so darn un-goth of me. But it is very Halloween so…. Sorry you caught the plague grrl! Don’t push so hard you long haul. Please take care!!!!!

I’m so confused with tucks! My brain just won’t wrap around how they work. Do you have a video that explains the process of tucks vs darts?

I thought this was a great video. I do like that you added the spiderweb to the dress because who doesn't like a little bling?

I watched your video yesterday and this popped up locally today https://twitter.com/AuburnVintage/status/1583420384577101824?s=20&t=elWpo5M5uKxlFzaLYiIxEA

Love the dress! Where did you get those shoes.....best pair of black shoes I've ever seen. Glad you are feeling better. Sure the babies kept you company in bed!

Possibly a silly question, or ingenious idea: when you're on the East Coast, can we get Mood Field Trips? maybe we can bring our Patternmaking for Fashion Design books and have an impromptu (but paid for) inperson class?

Gorgeous, and I love the spider web, and how achievable it is.

Beautiful!! (Easy?) video idea: can you walk us through what you were doing at 8:30 to estimate the peplum? And the consequences of your choice there on the finished garment? I agree with @susanfuzz - happy for you to pace and rest and give us spooky content through December! 🖤

I hope you get to feeling better very soon! Have you tried lying on your stomach to get to sleep? It's supposed to be easier to breath lying on your stomach.

I used to buy on fabric.com from Canada. Amazon ca doesn't have the fabric shop, so I guess everyone who's not American is out of luck. This leaves me with one entire place online to buy fabric, great. Not unless I want to pay ridiculously expensive boutique prices. Surely this can't be allowed.

Please rest and recover...I love the dress....but. Oh my your beautiful blue moth brooch is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS...

Hi there, Leonard my punkin love! Don’t rush the spooky content.. I’m ok with extending Halloween until mid December, lol. It’s a lovely dress and you look delightfully goth in it 🖤 Hope you are 100% soon :)

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the colors. Wishing you spooky vibes. 🙂🙂🙂

Beautiful. fabric.com has close down as of today. No warning. Just closed it.

Gorgeous (as always)! So excited about your house hunting adventures. We are in the same boat. The Mohawk Valley, in NY has wonderfully old homes that need some love. Wishing you luck on your search 🤞🏼

Love it. It's funny hearing you apologize for the number of pins you use; I've learned a lot from you and probably the first thing was that I never used to use enough pins. It makes so much difference. If you have to make easier projects then do it, if only to take care of yourself. Long Covid is no joke.

🎃🎃🎃 can't wait to watch this tomorrow after work!
