Ok... I think I made this one too long... again! I'll work on that! But I'd love to know what features YOU might have chosen for this one! X

@melissa-ur7kl 6 лет назад

Evelyn Wood I love long sewing videos 😘❤️ I love to play them while I’m sewing. I’m a mom of 4 and these gorgeous house dresses coming back into fashion makes my heart sing😊

@sarahmeacheam7517 6 лет назад

God I love the pockets! Those buttons are soo cute with the dress. The dress whould go with practical anything!

@hasumeokaasan6533 6 лет назад

I didn't think it was too long, at all!!also - you look absolutely spectacular in that rich, royal blue. I love that you use ragtime music in your refashion videos. I'm a massive fan of Scott Joplin, and loved playing his music on piano. I was blown away by how much of a difference that ric-rac trim made to finish the project and just give it a stunning vintage look. Bravo. I would've never thought of the ric-rac detail.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Right!!! I LOVE house dresses!! I need so many more! I am happy to hear that you like a long one!! Thanks for watching! You much be making something right now then??!

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Yes I love how they turned out a little baggy! And the grouped buttons are just right! Thanks so much for watching! x

@kaytiej8311 4 года назад

My mum was a seamstress through WW2 years. She used to use matching colour wide bias tape to add depth and weight to a hem if fabric was limited.

@beereal924 6 лет назад

I love your style it's so classy why can't everyone dress like this the World would be a more beautiful place!

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

haha if everyone else did then it wouldn't be unique! x

@bettyjones37 6 лет назад

a shapeless 80’s unwearable into a retro masterpiece! you are so talented and inspiring!

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Aww thanks Betty! I hope you might create your own then!!

@sandystrong5625 11 месяцев назад

Evelyn……I am amazed at what you have done with this plain dress to a vintage 20’s creation!! My name is Sandy Strong and I’m 74 years old and my mother and grandmother taught me to sew when I was 14. I’ve been sewing a good part of fifty years, the last 10 years not so much. You’ve give me the sew jo as you call it. Almost got my sewing room and stash organized. Took my machine to be cleaned and checked out (great Baby Lock….it will do everything but take out the trash!!). I have joined your school, now I just need to figure out how to operate my I pad and be able to navigate your courses. I want to be able to adjust patterns and make my projects fit me. I love your tutorials…..you are so easy to understand. After all these years of sewing, I have learned so much. See you at school!!!!!

@mastersadvocate 4 года назад

I love that dress! All of the little things you added to it really made it POP! I was all for those red buttons, too! Now if Covid-19 would just get out of the world, I could go hunting for thrifted dresses to refashion! Ladies like Phryne Fisher wore trousers, too, so maybe a cute blouse? Hmmm... ~Janet in Canada

@camleon5746 3 года назад

Love the red buttons and the rick rack touch. It came out beautiful!

@Trp44 2 года назад

I am baffled at your multi talent. Aside from the clothes, the camera work and lighting .. Brava🐚

@dulceele2967 6 лет назад

So happy you decided to add pockets. It makes the dress look so cute

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

POCKETS ARE ALWAYS THE ANSWER!

@eileenfb1948 5 лет назад

I absolutely love this. I wouldn’t have been brave enough to use the red buttons yet they are so gorgeous. I love the pockets too. Wonderful to watch and I didn’t mind it being longer this time. Thank you!

@Evelyn__Wood 5 лет назад

thanks for watching!!

@bowerbirdstyle7661 3 года назад

The rick-rack and buttons made it perfect.

@mariansmith7694 5 лет назад

My grandmother would so approve. Again, amazing transformation. Beautiful!

@corinabizzell6299 4 года назад

Evelyn!, how beautiful! I love it.

@Braz3nRav1n 6 лет назад

I love that your dress form is wearing the appropriate foundation garments.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Always!! x

@gaynormainwaring1853 4 года назад

Roxanne Dillie It’s easier to slip garments on and off.

@vibekefreitag562 6 лет назад

I would have chosen the pretty black buttons, but now I see the red ones were just right. It looks wonderful and you are so right, it’s the details that makes it all❤️

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks! Yes it is always a tough call on these small things, but it is these small things that bring it all together in the end!

@katehenry2718 3 года назад

Thanks for your encouragement to make blah clothes into pretty clothes and making them actually fit. Just taking the sides in on shirts makes such a difference. There is so much more.

@alliekingsley7919 6 лет назад

I absolutely adore this outfit, and think you made a great choice with the pockets. One thing I might have done to add a little nod toward the collar by putting a little white strip at the ends of the sleeves, and have button details on the sleeves, and more of the little finishing trim on the ends of the sleeves. Still, this is a gorgeous piece, I love the buttons, I love the necklace you've accessorized it with, and the hat is gorgeous as always. I also, especially, love that you showed how you goofed a little, admitted to it, and told us how you fixed it. A lot of sewing channels fix stuff like this very quietly, or just mention it in a note in the video. I often have your videos playing while working on art or cleaning, as you're very personable, so actually hearing you say it was awesome.

@debe8890 6 лет назад

The ric-rac was a perfect choice.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks Deb!

@Ziondweller 6 лет назад

I think I may have taken it to a more summer by taking up the sleeves and doing a bit of a ruffled cap sleeve. But that would probably totally make me rethink the front panel and color. Taking it from 20’s to something more 50’s like. I love your design. So many things you could do with a dress like that. 🦋

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

I di think of turning this into a 50s look.... but then I would wear it, so I always choose something that I will wear!

@taylors5145 4 года назад

So fun! I also really appreciate the “ladies and gents” intro. Very inclusive for us men who live for this. ❤️ I’m also especially obsessed with the fact that you sew with a full manicure. #fabulosity. Also. When you say “small details” really what it is is: good taste. You have great sense of proportion. Love it!

@carolynwiggins5555 4 года назад

What a "swinging girl" ! Item turned out so wonderful.

@Marialla. 5 лет назад

I love the way the beads echo the red of the buttons and the round shape (and size) of the ric-rac!

@joannasmith4793 3 года назад

Oh my goodness this transformation makes me smile . I have a picture of my grandma with a dress on with a similar collar style when she was very young !

@rbffbvs 6 лет назад

Yiu are right, it is all in the details! What a great transformation on this dress, I exclaim! Your videos are so informative and fun. Thank you.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!!

@opheliahamlet3508 3 года назад

It's perfect. I especially like the tiny edging that you put on the sleeve's, a wonderful touch!

@ottie1954 5 лет назад

A real refashion-fairy, a great talent and imagination. Congratulations!🤗🍀🌹

@Kitkat-mn5ud 4 года назад

The red accents are perfect and the dress looks great on you.

@cathleenvance4441 4 года назад

I just love what you have done to this dress. You are an amazing seamstress and so creative. I love the pockets and thought for sure you were going to make the sleeves longer. Glad you didn't. Well done You

@rosariobecerril1473 2 года назад

Rickrack!! I had not seen it since I was about 5 (I'm 68 now). My grandma used it a lot. The collar looks fantastic with it!!

@janakujawa1629 5 лет назад

I love how the dress turned out! But I would love for you to demonstrate how to wrap the scarf on your head. It was so adorable!!!

@mmartinezmatavaladez251 6 лет назад

I love the bow you where wearing with the brooch.💗 you look fabulous as always🦄

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@kkirkpatrick2130 6 лет назад

I really like that your dress had a wider neckline than the vintage dress it was based on. Because of some physical problems, I can't tolerate a lot around my neck. Narrow neck openings are often the deal-breaker for me with vintage clothes, but I've been nervous to do my own patterns altering the neckline, afraid that it would "ruin" the look. Now that I've seen how fabulous your modification looks, perhaps I'll have the courage to try some of my own ideas. Just as soon as I can clear a path through my "to do" pile......

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Perfect!! Don't be afraid to put your own spin on it! we are doing this for personal style, not to recreate a historical accurate garment! You can make it your own while keeping in an authentic look still! x

@dianeshrader5173 11 месяцев назад

You are such a wonderful lady. This dress is absolutely beautiful!

@diamondslashranch 6 лет назад

So glad you went with the pockets! You did such an amazing job once again.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Who doesn't like pockets right!!

@patriciawhited2951 4 года назад

You are quite a transformation artist. An inspiration to your viewers. Love, love, love you and your work! Thank you for everything you do. Puget Sound, Washington observer, Greater Seattle area.

@guineverependragon9804 6 лет назад

First one of your refashion vids. The collar shape, rick rack and button choice/placement were totally flattering and feel appropriate. Impressive! Also, thanks for sharing your process, I always wondered how that was done in the imagining and trial.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

If you've never done it before, this can be the hardest part! that's why I like to show my thought process!

@reginawilliams226 3 года назад

How enjoyable is this!!! Choices that the average person would not even see but voila... just pure enjoyment to see the finished project!

@sagithayang 5 лет назад

Your refashion videos make me want to check on my old clothes and refashion them. The best presentation refashion video with cool personality, everytime i watched your videos, i feel like watching shows on TV, they are entertaining and full of knowledges, I feel glad could find your channel. Anyway I admire your sewing room, they look vintage and organized. Will you do a video about sewing room tour and organization someday ? 😊

@Evelyn__Wood 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching!! Perhaps I will!

@N2HHH 2 года назад

Your transformations are really amazing.!!! I do like that you show what you used for inspiration to guide you in your direction of this finished piece. I almost feel like I might be able to do something like this with some practice. Thank you for your great videos.

@kimberlygeorge7109 6 лет назад

@DarklightAmy 5 лет назад

I like the length of the video 😊 the dress turned out gorgeous! Love that white collar with the pretty red buttons ❤

@annettemurielle 5 лет назад

So, so cute! The only thing I would have done differently is I would have made white "cuffs" on the edges of sleeves. I love it just as it is though!

@Evelyn__Wood 5 лет назад

I did think about that too!! But decided a little discrete band instead!

@laurafarrer328 3 года назад

Wonderful and very clever transformation! Congrats! Love it, Laura

@ltellis63 4 года назад

This dress turned out so well! It's super cute and very professional. So glad I found your channel.

@Stranger_Than_Fiction299 4 года назад

My mom had quite a few of those frumpy dresses! It does look so much more flattering.

@annalamb8135 6 лет назад

Haya. Hope all is well? Your video is not too long at all. Really great transformation, I was hoping you would decide on the pockets, looks fabulous. Thanku for sharing. xx

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Glad you liked it Anna!!

@EnnameMori 4 года назад

This I love. I love that type of tab and collar, and maybe rather than upsizing my actual 20's pattern 6 sizes I could simply go find me an oversized dress and do that instead. :)

@loriar1027 4 года назад

That’s an adorable dress. I have a hard time seeing the potential in thrift store clothes. I love watching you transform things.

@Evelyn__Wood 4 года назад

It comes with practice I think 😊

@dinnyhinds3296 6 лет назад

Absolutely gorgeous

@keller109 10 месяцев назад

The red buttons were a great call

@EChaves1 Год назад

Another beauty, Evelyn! You are so talented 🎉🧵🪡

@StrawberryMad6 4 года назад

This turned out really lovely! I love how you used the rickrack. I'm definitely going to use that. 😊

@CarlaRoberts102956 5 лет назад

I am a new subscriber and I just love this channel. I picked the pockets also so yeah! I have sent your channel to several of my friends and they love it also. I have spent hours watching back videos. Keep up the great job, you bring so much happiness.

@amberfester9367 6 лет назад

Wow, I really, really, like the way this one turned out. Might be one of my favorites so far!? The ric-rac and red buttons made it so special! I wouldn't change a thing. And the pockets were a great extra, cheers

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Amber! Its all in the details right!! x

@carols8090 3 месяца назад

@rineallison8832 6 лет назад

Beautiful refashion! The only thing I would have done differently is to add a bit of white fabric to trim the edge of the sleeves instead of the same fabric.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Yes, I didn't think of that at the time, I was more thinking the contrast in the stripes! But a little white trim would look great!

@connieturner6575 5 лет назад

The dress is adorable, you are adorable.

@curtainsup9 6 лет назад

I love what you did save for the red buttons--I think white or the dark color in the dress which I can't make out is black or navy.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Yes, the dress is actually navy!

@tinageorge8759 5 лет назад

You are so amazing with what you do on your transformations, such a beautiful dress!!! 💚

@lifebeyondtheview7354 6 лет назад

What an amazing transformation ! You are so talented. How often do I see that style of dress in the charity shop and pass it by - not next time though . Have you ever thought about doing a sew-along?? I'd love to have a go at transforming something but never feel very confident.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks so much! Yes, these type of dress is very common, there are so many waiting for a new life! I actually have a course The Vintage Fit that covers exactly how to do all this! It will take you step my step how to find, fit and alter thrift store clothes and transform them into vintage styled outfits! You will learn what to look for at the shops so you can know what you can and cant alter, and then step by step the alterations! It will help you give you the confidence to any refashion you can create in your mind! It is at vintagesewingschool.com if you have any questions about it just let me know!

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Yes I loved these too!

@candicewaller403 5 лет назад

I'm loving this channel. SUBSCRIBED! Pockets are always the best choice. I live in a hot climate too, and though I love longer sleeves, they're just not practical. Better to have a cute cardigan or jacket to layer on in the office.

@incanada83 3 года назад

Oh, My! This is absolutely gorgeous !!! I sooo would like to make (remake?) such a dress. Thank you.

@ello_verity7667 6 лет назад

Can I just say that you have the perfect taste for adding music? It suits your content so well and fades in and out just right. Gorgeous editing!

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thank so much! I have had to work hard at learning how to do this! being the perfectionist I am, I want it just right! So thank you for noticing! xx

@elaineplate8921 6 лет назад

Wonderful, informative video; I envy your talent. Love the collar transformation, and the red buttons are the perfect finishing touch. Adding white cuffs to the bottom of the sleeves might be interesting. The longer the video, the better. TFS.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Elaine I'm glad you think the longer the better!! It is hard to chop down! I would have really liked to do the 3/4 sleeves with the cuff!

@angieb9477 2 года назад

That's good news!! Im thinking that this is too long... what do you think? ill have to work on keeping the next one shorter, so I can create more, but shorterin length!!

@andyyeager8165 6 лет назад

Evelyn Wood I personally love the length, I love seeing all the process and your thought pattern. I love seeing the transformation. I watch it over and over!

@nommh 4 года назад

When I need a heavy hem I like to face it. If I have enough material I use own fabric, but for this - why you could even have piped some ricrac in navy and use some fabric to give the hem exactly the heft you want.

@SewOldFashioned 6 лет назад

Marvellous transformation! I absolutely love watching you go through the process of creating gorgeousness out of rather ordinary garments.

@Evelyn__Wood 6 лет назад

Thanks so much! Yes, this is what I like too! The process and the total transformation of something you definitely would leave behind at the shop! x
