To be honest, I don't have experience sizing up one-size vintage patterns, but I'll have a video out this weekend on sizing up multi-size patterns, and I'll do one next month on sizing up one-size gridded patterns.
That was a fantastic result. And as for sizing up one-sized period patterns, yes please! (The ducks clear know you are outshining them, and are jealous. Probably one of them stole your lost feather)
What fun! You look like you stepped out of an Impressionist painting. And anybody who quacks at ducks while shaking her bustle is my kind of person! Thank you!
This is so utterly charming! I feel it is a Valentine to femininity. The lady enjoys the beach with such gaie abandon, she neglects her boots and gloves and hems exactly as one should in real life ! The photography was framed to the lady's and the landscape's advantage. I was transported in time and to an impressionist painter's view of the sunset and natural textures of stones, wood and water.Thank you for such a visual bon bon.
I love how you kinda show that Victorian women were still able to move and play and hop over things in these dresses. A lot of costume dramas act like victorian women's clothes made it impossible to even move.
Sis you are such aprincess, i loved this! this seres literally made me love the second bustle era, i can finally see why everyone loves it because your beautiful figure and confidence really glamorized the hell out of it, you proved that the silhouette is all you need to master an era of historical fashion, and honestly i appreaciate your dedication in reminding everyone that, yo, people of all sized existed in every period of history and still loooked very regal and important as shit living their best victorian life! i have never liked the busle eras, but now i want to try and make one for myself. Even though we are opposite types of women in many ways, you still really drew me in with your content. I was literally angry you made us wait for the big reveal omg i was so excited!
I'm screaming "No No Rebecca, don't go puddle jumping in that beautiful dress!!!!!!" But over she goes Stunning gown.... then over the fallen tree....and frolicking at the waters edge.... oh my... love it👍👍
I'm not going to listen to you any more when you say that you're not liking something! This came out fantastic! The sleeves are just fine. Your friend in the snow is a hoot. How much fun you all have. Very good work! Big hug for this one--fabulous! Going over trees, girl, you are too funny. Just done try to walk on that pond!
You have become my favorite RU-vid friend, you are so lovely and encouraging. Yes. Please do one on sizing up vintage patterns. And how to clean the skirts after a day at the beach!
Aww, thank you so much! My video next week will be on upsizing multi-size patterns. If you have a multi-size vintage pattern, it will work, but unfortunately a lot of vintage patterns are one-size, which makes things much more challenging. And I wore my dress in the snow this weekend for pictures, and surprisingly, it cleaned up a fair bit of the hem. I still have some dirt to get off it, though, but probably not enough for a full video's worth.
What a beautiful outfit! I too am "plus size" your looks are giving me the courage to be adventurous! I'm not as worried about the silhouette. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your peppermint 1890s bustle outfit is WONDERFUL! You did a really good job. The white parasol was such a nice touch. My cat, Scarlett O'Hara got up close and personal in front of the TV watching you on the beach. She approves too!
Very Beautiful, great job! My favorite part was how the bottom ruffle flips about as you walk! Thank you for sharing, it was a delight to watch your design process, very inspiring!
The dress turned out beautifully. You look amazing! The dedication to details really shows. It’s at times when you are showing beaches that I miss the west coast. I would love a video on sizing from a single size diagram.
So awesome to see the completed project! It looks amazing. I used to live on the Olympic Peninsula, and it was wonderful to see that beautiful Washington coastline. Yes, please, on the sizing up tutorial. Thank you for everything you do!
Your silhouettes are always amazing, well done in the foundation pieces. 👏 like you said it's all about the proportions, and you knock it out if the park every time.
Thank you! I managed to take a few pictures of this in the snow this weekend, too, which I'll be sharing over on instagram. It made it look so Christmassy! :)
The entire outfit is wonderful. You should be very proud of the end result. As "extra" as the hat is, it's no more "out there" than the crazy fun dress is. A perfect pairing. Also, as soon as you put that hairpiece on your forehead I was struck by how flattering bangs are to your face. Seriously, that hair style looked really good on you. Oh, and a video on grading up one-size patterns would be very helpful. I look forward to your videos every week. And DUCKS!!
You look so gorgeous! And I can't believe how precisely you pieced all those chevron stripes together! That was really interesting. The explanation for the hair style was really helpful too. I made a traditional hat for a Swiss folk costume, but haven't been able to figure out how to secure it on my head. Those pincurls might just do the trick!
It turned out beautifully! You look stunning all dressed up by the sea, and it looks like you are having fun 🤩 I am living vicariously, as we are still without power here in Texas
So close! But I did take some pictures of it in the snow this weekend, which will wind up going up over on my instagram. And I have a different snow adventure video coming out tomorrow! :)
Your dress turned out so beautiful! I have loved watching the progress videos and this one. Yes, Yes, please make a video showing how you size up. This is something I really struggle with and intimidated by.
Would love a how to on how to size up ☺️ - this dress is very fun and pretty, I like stripes 😄 The Kardashians has nothing on your bussel and pad 😅😍 such a lovely shape
This was a phenomenal project and you did a fabulous job. I just love the whole ensemble. Some many glorious details... I hope you are thrilled with it. I'm looking forward to the next big project!🥰
All I can say is WOW! The overall effect is dazzling! And tbh I unironically love the short bangs. :D I would also super appreciate the tutorial on upsizing vintage pattern, thank you!
I've seen photos of people with 1880s hairstyles, and they don't seem happy to be wearing them either! Nevertheless, you make it work, and the outfit itself is gorgeous!
I really like doing my own patterning! Please show us how to use these patterns for our curves! Also, thank you for making dresses from fabric I can get. Knowing that fun stuff can be made with “normal” fabric is very helpful to my budget!!
the finished outfit has come out so good! Love all the direction changes on the stripes, and the accessories finish it off perfectly :D OMG ok the ducks were a great way to end!
Yay the reveal! I miss beach trips so extra treat. The hat looked great....hope the pinking gets sorted. Dress leaves one compleatly happy.....terrible pun!
I have so enjoyed this series. The honesty that you approached the project (when things did not always go as planned 😊) I would be VERY interested in a deep dive into size conversions from a one size pattern. All things corsets!!
The dress is incredible ❤️. And that location!!!🥰 I would love to see you make a video on sizing up patterns. I watch as many of those as I can find and am still not ready to try it for myself. I wouldn’t hesitate to adjust for someone with a more traditional figure, but mine? The pattern wouldn’t even remotely resemble the original and that sort of blows my confidence
Thank you so much! And yep, as you'll wind up seeing in my sizing up video this weekend, sometimes your final pattern will wind up looking totally different than how it started. That's why mockups are so important!
The whole outfit looks awesome! That is a great beach, good find! Quacking at ducks is absolutely necessary. Sorry if your numbers look a little funky, I had to refresh like 4 times to get the comment section to load.
So hard to choose my favorite elements, I love the pleating and details on the skirt, and the bows on the bustle make the whole ensemble come alive! Just a triumph, thanks for taking us on this journey! Loved every minute of following along.
