Yes! And I'd say copying a homemade dress as a pattern for a new dress is a way to honor the creativity of the home seamstress who created the first one! I can just hear her blushing to think the dress she made was so loved that even after it was ruined it was still too good to lose!
I second Celcey24's comment. I have a fun dress from college that is finally falling apart that I would love to make a replica of! But am afraid to take it apart and not sure how to make a pattern of it. :-)
Ah thanks! I feel like it was totally misbehaving, and I was fighting with it, so I'm not sure how to achieve this exact style again, its mostly just a pageboy-ish style though, with side combs like I do in this video: ruclips.net/video/xO7sac1Gi58/видео.html
Me too! I love a silk blouse find at the thrift store. I've found a few and they always end up being my favourite finds (except for my lovely old lady style wool coats)
More Goth Pin Up at the office! That broken red print bow front top! It is starting to be a sub genre look for you! Goth Mad Men? There must be a term..... then to our astonishment - Goth camo! With Bambi’s parents! And please try the studded top over a pumpkin color dress! It would be very Pinup witch! And then another gasp: career pirate! You are so cool!
I used to try to mend vintage that was falling apart! Now that I have too many abandoned projects, I tend to leave them behind. Antiques I used to want to keep as study pieces, but omg... they pile up. I LOVE your sentiment. I mean, people used to use and reuse, and pass down until things fell apart. Like why not? We know more about historical fashion than ever. Things come and go.
The studded top looked great! I think some high waisted evening pants would look great and very vintage with the top. I also think putting it over the right dress could give it a 1930s vibe, which I would love. I hope you enjoy wearing it!
" If you can buy any power for 3.5 " hahahhahha yeah, i'd take it too! And the pirate career woman, dear lord, u've made my day haha ps. YES to pattern from old clothes, i'm doing same, it's always a good idea. And if i would not make crop top work, i'd add some fabric to that and made it into full length evening gown.
You could wear that studded top with a black circle skirt to go to a Latin Dance Club! The velvet bow can come off and live attached to a plain black clutch or a wired frame for a matching fascinator.
On those khaki slacks? I'd go Katherine Hepburn with it I think. Brogues or menswear inspired block heels? Wingtips in brown even? Gorgeous as always! 😁 Edit: that last dress is like Morticia Addams went swing dancing and I'm here for it.
You have such an eye for clothes. 👏👏👏 I would definitely wear that dress and then use it for a pattern. But that’s me...I don’t have that automatic reverence for everything vintage. If it’s not wearable anymore and not a rare specimen, that needs to be preserved at all cost...what else are you going to do with it? It doesn’t help anyone, if it just hangs in your close, unworn, for another 50 years.
Thank you Rara! I quite agree, usually I lean more on the preservation side of things, but 50's dresses of this type are not rare in the same way, say and Edwardian dress would be, and it's no Dior ha!
I loved the cropped studded top on you. I would like to see you draw up a pattern from the black dress and the velvet dress looked very similar to one I owned in the 80's. Great thrift haul, thanks for sharing.
That cropped studded top is divine on you gal!! Reminds me of something Dita Von Teese would wear 👌🏽 Always love your haul videos & especially the show & tell part!!
I love the 40's look of the studded top you bought I think it would look cute with like a studded evening bag and some studded heels I also would love to see you use your 50's dress you found that as a pattern I love seeing people put vintage things that are falling apart to good use like that
Great finds! Would love to see you take the acetate dress apart for a pattern. I imagine whoever made it would appreciate this pragmatic approach. Love all the clothes on you, you definitely can pull off the crop studded top. But I think the shape and style of the acetate dress is perfect on you.
• That studded, cropped "clubbing" top looked so glamorous on you, especially with the way you styled it with the pencil skirt, so I think you totally made that work! • Yes to the dress being turned into a pattern! It's just so beautiful I'd love to see a video of you turning it into a pattern. But only after you've gotten as much wears as possible, of course 💓 If a true vintage is falling apart, I feel like taking it apart and making a pattern out of it is (in a strange way) preserving it. Especially since they don't make clothes like that anymore so it'd be a shame to let a chance at a pattern go to waste. The garment might be on it's death bed, but a pattern would keep it's memory alive 😅 wow that was such a weird way to put it, I'm so sorry BUT YES TO THE PATTERN VIDEO PLEASE. • That velvet dress, I'm dying inside because it's so beautiful and I can't have it 💔 But I'm super excited to see your alterations because that's exactly what I would done to it as well. I feel like you asked more questions but I can't recall them now.
Pulling apart vintage home-made/vintage in general.. i'm personally okay with it.. and the respect for fashion they had then, is the respect we're trying to show for the things that THEY made NOW.. I think it gives the ability to preserve it, not to be gruesome.. but a pretty dress in lesser hands will get worn and tossed.. by pulling it apart you preserve the history and beauty of the decade for a minimum of until you pass on :) which is more curation, even if at home, than just losing it all to be left with a picture here or there or a museum.. so i like the idea
I have found so many beautiful homemade vintage items over the years. And I think that when they are too damaged that having the ability to make a pattern from them is a fabulous idea.... My best two thrift finds over the past weeks have been 1. 1960's house dress 2. This fabulous 1950s maybe 1960s dress jacket thing that i am having a hard time dating since it is handmade
I love a slide seam zipper! I have mobility issues and do not even look at garments with back zips. I think it depends on your shape a bit. But I have found that laying down to zip makes it easier. Really good channel!
I loved this, that velvet vest is so smart! Personally, I love restoring and saving any vintage piece I can, but if it becomes unwearable or fragile a garment becomes far game for pattern drafting.
Love your finds! Love your videos! Your commentary is always delightful and hilarious. Would very much be interested in seeing how to deconstruct a garment to make a pattern.
Yes, you’re working the studded crop top. I love velvet also, I have a green and a purple stretch velvet fabrics, I’m planning to make into fall dresses. I also loved the tapestry skirt. Your thrift shop have such nice clothes. Bow tie blouses give me life. I’d love to see the video of you turning the black dress into a pattern once you can’t wear it any longer. Just a thought, on the bare spots and pinholes. Maybe you can cover it with some decorative trim. I’d also love watching a video on what you might come up with to preserve the little black dress for a little long.
Thank you Estelle! Part of the issue with the acetate dress too is that acetate just isn't very comfortable to wear, but the same style in a wool twill or cotton sateen would be much more comfy ha!
What a great haul! So many great thrift finds 😊👍 When a vintage garment is come undone I usually try to fix it, but if the fabric is generally worn out beyond repair I think it’s perfectly fine to use it to bring new things to life 🌱 So you guessed right - I would love to se how you make the dress into a pattern!!!! 😍😍😍😍 looking forward to seeing the velvet dress transformation as well!!
I would love to see a video of making the vintage dress into a pattern! I have a number of vintage pieces which are on the verge of no longer being wearable, and I'd be very interested to see what can be done with something like that :)
Absolutely love your hair and makeup in this video even more than usual! I think you’re quite right with the 50’s dress. Wear it as long as you can then take a pattern from it. Also I would love to see a video on taking a pattern from an old worn garment.
Essence Beasley agreed! My thrift store has the odd good find but never those rock bottom prices. A nice silk blouse at my thrift store will run to 10$
Please let me know when you get that Etsy shop open so I can go ahead and just give you my bank account creditials. I won't be needing them anymore lol.
Soon! I have to photograph and measure all the stock I've been buying. I've been trying to get a variety of sizes and wash everything properly before I make everything available ;)
Easy dressing trick to keep makeup and hair together while dressing. Use one of your Silk or sheer crepe scarves as a hood. Pull the dress over and VOILA! hair is neat and makeup saved. Of course lipstick after dressing.
What a haul, love some Autumnal looks! I wear trousers with a slight peg leg with high boots like you mentioned but I sometimes also cuff them and wear them with flats, loafers or brogues. I'm looking forward to the gothy/witchy lookbook. With regards to vintage items that have seen better days, I'm happy to take them apart to make a pattern if they are beyond repair. I did this with a gorgeous home made 50s cocktail dress that got terribly moth eaten in storage. It was sad to take someone's loving work apart but I had gotten a lot of wear out of it and then it got to live on it a new iteration. Also, taking the bits of fabric that are not ruined to make small things out of (little pouches, textile art, cushions etc) is a nice way to help the garment live on as it were (and it's eco friendly too). That Laura Ashley dress is gorgeous....and yeah, I totally struggle with side zips.
Thank you Kelly! Darn those moths! I live in fear of them, though it's not common here in Colorado luckily since we have a dry climate, which apparently is not good for them? I'm still afraid!
You are working that cropped top! I’d say take apart that dress! You’re giving it new life by creating new pieces because of it. AND YES to the Halloween rack! I’ve found soooo many amazing dresses during Halloween time!!!
The red shirt and yellow shirt look amazing on you! I would be so excited to see them in a Harry Potter look book, I love those. And i personally think that if an older dress is falling apart, you should reuse it for a pattern. If it can't be fixed, then you're basically giving it new life by re-purposing it as a pattern, otherwise it would sit somewhere and be forgotten.
I really like the mustard yellow silk blouse. Look great on you. I think wearing the dress and then making a pattern is fine. You're keeping the style.
That velvet black dress is such a beautiful find! 👏😍 Oh and in answer to your side zip question; I always put them on first then do hair and makeup. If hair and makeup are done first...not a chance I'm wearing a dress with a side zip that day! 😜
Heavy big velvet dresses from the thrift store are honestly the best thing you could possibly find. I myself got a bottle green one with a drapey, wide shoulder neckline and it’s my freaking dream dress.

Actually, if a vintage dress is not wearable anymore due to deterioration, I think that using it for a pattern IS a way to preserve it.
Yes! And I'd say copying a homemade dress as a pattern for a new dress is a way to honor the creativity of the home seamstress who created the first one! I can just hear her blushing to think the dress she made was so loved that even after it was ruined it was still too good to lose!
As an aspiring 1940’s career woman pirate, I say take apart those old vintage clothes and make them into patterns!
Aye, I will second that!
I would definitely be interested in seeing how you'd take apart a dress and use it to make a pattern. And that velvet dress looks super bomb!
Thank you!
I second Celcey24's comment. I have a fun dress from college that is finally falling apart that I would love to make a replica of! But am afraid to take it apart and not sure how to make a pattern of it. :-)
If you do end up making a pattern from the dress, I would love to see the process.
I second this
The white wrap top makes you resemble a dark haired Marilyn Monroe
+
Thank you! It is rather a classic style for sure!
I think the studded top works well for a 40's look. Maybe paired with a long floor length skirt to give off a goth Carmen Miranda type look?
Yes! I was thinking a 1950s hostess skirt (perhaps pants set). They have super high waists and a lot of sassy style.
I think it would fit best over a dress (maybe a sundress) if you're aiming to cover the tummy
I love the idea of a draped long jersey Grecian sorta style 40's skirt for that look! Excellent idea!
Oh my god, both the red and mustard tie-neck blouses are STUH-ning on you! I can’t even
Thank you! I feel luck to have found them :)
The studded top looks beautiful on you
Thank you Ayesha!
"If you can buy any power for $3.50 you should take it." -something a Slytherin would say. 😂
Ha! So true ;)
Please do a hair tutorial for this look! SO GORGEOUS.
AGREE!
Ah thanks! I feel like it was totally misbehaving, and I was fighting with it, so I'm not sure how to achieve this exact style again, its mostly just a pageboy-ish style though, with side combs like I do in this video: ruclips.net/video/xO7sac1Gi58/видео.html
I love the studded blouse with the pencil skirt!!
Thank you!
I audibly gasped at the yellow bow blouse... it's so GOOD!!! What a find!
Me too! I love a silk blouse find at the thrift store. I've found a few and they always end up being my favourite finds (except for my lovely old lady style wool coats)
Thank you! I am so pleased to have found it! :)
More Goth Pin Up at the office! That broken red print bow front top! It is starting to be a sub genre look for you! Goth Mad Men? There must be a term..... then to our astonishment - Goth camo! With Bambi’s parents! And please try the studded top over a pumpkin color dress! It would be very Pinup witch! And then another gasp: career pirate! You are so cool!
Thank you! I wouldn't mind being a pirate witch pin up secretary so it all works out ;)
If anyone can, you can!
Oh my word!!! That black cropped shirt is stunning!!! What a find!!
It is great.
Thank you!
That green deer skirt, gorgeous. And that studded top, you ca 100% pull off. And that last dress. Omigod. Obsessed.
Thank you Nicole!
I used to try to mend vintage that was falling apart! Now that I have too many abandoned projects, I tend to leave them behind. Antiques I used to want to keep as study pieces, but omg... they pile up.
I LOVE your sentiment. I mean, people used to use and reuse, and pass down until things fell apart. Like why not? We know more about historical fashion than ever. Things come and go.
I try not to bring home too many project pieces for this reason! They do pile up fast!
The cropped black studded top looks beautiful on you. I think it's great that it makes you feel powerful.
Thank you!
i vote YES! to making a pattern of the black, 50s dress!!!!
The red poly shirt was my favorite. But then I saw the velvet vest! Love, love the vest!
Thank you!
The studded top looked great! I think some high waisted evening pants would look great and very vintage with the top. I also think putting it over the right dress could give it a 1930s vibe, which I would love. I hope you enjoy wearing it!
Thank you Johanna!
Everything you picked is great, but damn that last dress is beautiful 💖💖
Thank you!
" If you can buy any power for 3.5 " hahahhahha yeah, i'd take it too! And the pirate career woman, dear lord, u've made my day haha ps. YES to pattern from old clothes, i'm doing same, it's always a good idea. And if i would not make crop top work, i'd add some fabric to that and made it into full length evening gown.
Thank you! I think with a full length evening skirt it would be fun! I'll have to procure one...
My first thought seeing the studded top was "oooh, Selena!" It’s gorgeous with that skirt, the just a hint of skin look is a fun one!
Thank you Bridget!
You could wear that studded top with a black circle skirt to go to a Latin Dance Club! The velvet bow can come off and live attached to a plain black clutch or a wired frame for a matching fascinator.
or pedal pushers with the top and a aberet for a poetry night.
I mean...I can't dance, but I could perhaps watch others dance I suppose! ;)
Loved the entire haul, but my favorite was the studded top! As a Slytherin myself, I think it would be amazing in your Slytherin lookbook!
Thank you! I have so many looks planned that it might not even make it in...is it bad if it's quite long ;)
On those khaki slacks? I'd go Katherine Hepburn with it I think. Brogues or menswear inspired block heels? Wingtips in brown even? Gorgeous as always! 😁
Edit: that last dress is like Morticia Addams went swing dancing and I'm here for it.
Thank you Holly! I'd love some wingtips, I don't have any currently!
You have such an eye for clothes. 👏👏👏
I would definitely wear that dress and then use it for a pattern. But that’s me...I don’t have that automatic reverence for everything vintage.

Cat tied up for sale in a window!!! 😂Love your sense of humor! How about brown oxfords with the tan pants?
Ankle boots and loafers are great for “peg-leg” pants!
I loved the cropped studded top on you. I would like to see you draw up a pattern from the black dress and the velvet dress looked very similar to one I owned in the 80's. Great thrift haul, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tracie!

I would love to see you make a pattern from the black dress
LOVE the bow blouse!

The leopard shirt made me think of a safari outfit. Like on safari in the jungle.
I think I had that black velvet dress with the bow. I wore something very similar in my senior head and shoulders photo for the yearbook.
I love animal prints!
Love the wrap top and the yellow silk blouse.
All smiles for the pumpkin decorated set and the smooth smokey jazz theme.
Thank you Darnelle!
It wasn’t a thrift store but I found a Peggy hunt velvet wiggle dress that fits me perfectly for $45
Amazing! Good score!
OMG, I love your hair today. You look so classy.
Thank you!

Thank you J! I'll be including the velvet dress fixes in a future thrift flip video for sure!
You are so freaking adorable & have such an amazing style, I'm loving your videos🤗 I would go with pointed toe, or peep toe heels with the tan pants:)
Thank you!
your hair looks so extra beautiful this video!
Thank you Katie! It always gets so messed up during my little try on sessions ha!

Thank you for the support! It's not a Dior right...so like ehhh
@@TheClosetHistorian quick question: chalk recommendations?.. i'm having issues not finding any soft enough
I have found so many beautiful homemade vintage items over the years. And I think that when they are too damaged that having the ability to make a pattern from them is a fabulous idea....
My best two thrift finds over the past weeks have been
1. 1960's house dress
2. This fabulous 1950s maybe 1960s dress jacket thing that i am having a hard time dating since it is handmade
I need to make some house dresses myself, perhaps a project for next year though, as my sewing schedule is already quite full! ;)
I love a slide seam zipper! I have mobility issues and do not even look at garments with back zips. I think it depends on your shape a bit. But I have found that laying down to zip makes it easier. Really good channel!
Retro grunge animal print...fabulous!
Thank you Debra!
Oh, the mustard bow blouse is also E V E R Y T H I N G
Ha! I am so happy I found it!
I loved this, that velvet vest is so smart! Personally, I love restoring and saving any vintage piece I can, but if it becomes unwearable or fragile a garment becomes far game for pattern drafting.
Thank you Avery!
The DIY Halloween at Goodwill is a treasure trove of vintage for cheap.
Love all the pieces you showed today and they look gorgeous on you but that studded crop top looks AMAZING on you!!!
Thank you Pamela!
Love your finds! Love your videos! Your commentary is always delightful and hilarious. Would very much be interested in seeing how to deconstruct a garment to make a pattern.

So true. I’m looking forward to your video of making the pattern for this dress, also your sewing of it.
What a great haul! So many great thrift finds 😊👍

So you guessed right - I would love to se how you make the dress into a pattern!!!! 😍😍😍😍 looking forward to seeing the velvet dress transformation as well!!
Thank you Rebekka!
My best find recently was a 1950’s faux fur (furrage brand) coat, retail at $200+, purchased for $36!!! It’s beautiful!
Nice! I am impatiently waiting for my local thrift shops to put out the coats as they haven't yet!
I would love to see a video of making the vintage dress into a pattern! I have a number of vintage pieces which are on the verge of no longer being wearable, and I'd be very interested to see what can be done with something like that :)

Giving me all the autumn feels even though it is spring for. Thanks for a great video. I like that you are trying new things
Thank you Renata!
I think your thrift stores are just better than mine.
Essence Beasley agreed! My thrift store has the odd good find but never those rock bottom prices. A nice silk blouse at my thrift store will run to 10$
I am a very lucky gal!
Please let me know when you get that Etsy shop open so I can go ahead and just give you my bank account creditials. I won't be needing them anymore lol.
It's open already.
😂
Soon! I have to photograph and measure all the stock I've been buying. I've been trying to get a variety of sizes and wash everything properly before I make everything available ;)
Lovely as always! That black dress is so beautiful. I take a lot of inspiration on your style...hope you don't mind!
Thank you! I don't mind at all, I am honored
All beautiful buys... That black velvet princess dress... EPIC 😍
Thank you! I had to have it ;)
Love the cropped black studded top with the high waist pencil skirt!
Easy dressing trick to keep makeup and hair together while dressing. Use one of your Silk or sheer crepe scarves as a hood. Pull the dress over and VOILA! hair is neat and makeup saved. Of course lipstick after dressing.
I feel like I am still too clumsy to make this work, in reality I have no grace ha!
You make everything look so amazing! Wow that studded blouse is great! I love your sense of humor and appreciate your videos.
Thank you Lisa!
I think those khaki peg leg trousers would look amazing with calf or knee high lace up boots in a sort of safari style!
Lol oops I commented right before you got to the part where you said boots 😂😂😂
What a haul, love some Autumnal looks! I wear trousers with a slight peg leg with high boots like you mentioned but I sometimes also cuff them and wear them with flats, loafers or brogues.
I'm looking forward to the gothy/witchy lookbook.
With regards to vintage items that have seen better days, I'm happy to take them apart to make a pattern if they are beyond repair.

AND YES to the Halloween rack! I’ve found soooo many amazing dresses during Halloween time!!!
Thank you! Halloween is indeed the best thrifting season :)
Oh yes, please show us how to make a pattern from a deconstructed dress!
Making a pattern from damaged garments is a great way to preserve them and give them new life!
also heck everything you got looks so good!
Thank you Kate!
That leopard print blouse on you - MeeeOWWWrrr!!!! 💣💥
Thank you ha!
Loved this video, you looked beautiful in everything! I loved all your finds and I’m learning so much! Thank you💜
Thank you Irene!
The red shirt and yellow shirt look amazing on you! I would be so excited to see them in a Harry Potter look book, I love those. And i personally think that if an older dress is falling apart, you should reuse it for a pattern. If it can't be fixed, then you're basically giving it new life by re-purposing it as a pattern, otherwise it would sit somewhere and be forgotten.
Thank you!
Love how you styled your entire collection of treasures! The velvet vest is ARGuably the best! (Almost forgot...I vote “YES” to dress pattern!)
Thank you! Also, hooray for the pun :)
Girrrrl you are making that crop top work!! It’s gorgeous. I love that mustard top too.
Thank you!
I really like the mustard yellow silk blouse. Look great on you. I think wearing the dress and then making a pattern is fine. You're keeping the style.
Thank you!
"A grungy animal print, if you will, for some reason appealed to me." TheClosetHistorial 9/2019. Classic.
You’re making it work ☺️ I find it amazing that you can take such modern things and make it so vintage and sophisticated
Thank you!
Black velvet 😍 that dress is gorgeous, the vest too!
ALL these looks are perfect! And I lovvvve that studded crop top with the pencil skirt.
Also, the velvet dress is pure magic.
Thank you Stace!
40's career woman who is also a pirate! YES! I love it!!!
Thank you Katherine!
That velvet black dress is such a beautiful find! 👏😍
Oh and in answer to your side zip question; I always put them on first then do hair and makeup. If hair and makeup are done first...not a chance I'm wearing a dress with a side zip that day! 😜
Thank you!
Eeeek... I'm so excited to hear you're going to have a shop
That crop sweater reminded me of so many movies from the 30's and 40's. Loved it on you! ❤
Thank you Dona!
Also, the eyelet top is beautiful! Looks so good on you too.
Another great set with the pumpkins! Im super excited for fall as well, and this vid has given me some great outfit ideas!
Thank you!
That red blouse is gorgeous!!💖💖
Fabulous buys! Yes, you “make it work”. Good for you.
That plaid skirt (that you paired with the mustard shirt) is a delight. I know you were maybe planning an a-line skirt tutorial I hope it is that one!
Thank you!
Love the midriff sweater on you!!! Looks great!!!
I would enjoy watching you make a pattern out of the vintage dress!!
I love your hairstyle! You always have such great finds at the thrift store! 😃
Thank you!
I love the cropped black top. Barbara Stanwyck wore stuff like that!
I love that black Velvet 80s dress!!!
Love that eyelet, and animal print blouses!
Thank you!
That velvet Vest is fabulous!!
I love your commentary and vision....swashbuckling vest and yellow blouse are my favorites!!!!
Thank you Heather!
Lace up leather brogues in tan or dark brown look brilliant with pleated top trousers!
That velvet dress is stunning.
Heavy big velvet dresses from the thrift store are honestly the best thing you could possibly find. I myself got a bottle green one with a drapey, wide shoulder neckline and it’s my freaking dream dress.
Yesss! Thank goodness the 80's liked a velvet dress ;)
