@@julie977 Agreed! Real heroes deserve respect, not racist rhetoric! Everything about this video is epic and anyone who thinks they're being smart or cute by being nasty need a wakeup call: Christine is still fighting the good fight everyday for countless patients and still makes time to be part of a diverse community of makers, all on top of being a Mom, AND being an example for a young generation of creators to enter the historical dress space that's been so tightly held by white scholars. For people to act like this the day before International Women's Day is really a reminder that we still have a lot of work to do in driving intersectionality in feminism.
I am so in favor of a series where you make Audrey costumes! You should even be able to find vintage sewing patterns for a lot of them since they were put out for home sewists at the time, if you wanted to go that route. Can't wait to see what's next, you always have such lovely projects!
Yes to the blue dress! Also the designer for Anastasia the musical did her own version of the blue dress which might be worth checking out (although that one has a lot of beading and embellishment)
The easiest way to signal that your black dress is not mourning garb is to pair it with shiny and/or brightly coloured accessories, such as the pearls and diamonds used in the movie.
oh my gosh, PLEASE make the Anastasia dress asap. Back in Sept 2019 (feels like a lifetime ago) I went to a ball and when I was looking for gowns that one was the one the top spot for inspirations what I wanted!
@@Sewstine me too! I actually wore a dark purple stretch velvet column dress with long white gloves to my prom (circa 2000) because I aspired to that moment in Anastasia. Honestly, I still do and still dream of recreating that dress!
I have made a couple of Audrey Hepburn’s dresses (the first little black long dress and the dress that is paired with the black hat and alligator shoes) and I intend to make the iconic black dress again but with an addition of some short sleeves since I have a bit of a concern about my arms but I have worn the dress without sleeves and I think I might do that again to be very accurate to the film. Also please make the Anastasia “Russian Ballet” dress. Its so iconic and very elegant yet simplistic.
@@Sewstine Would anyone nowadays understand how to use that silver telephone dialer? In the days of rotary dial phones people often used a pencil or pen (from the notepad that was often next to the phone) to dial so they wouldn't break a nail. Senior citizen here, speaking from experience!
Interesting fact: The other LBD Givenchy created for Sabrina, that you showed, was the inspiration for Midge Maisel's LBD she wore in her final stand up act in season 1.
I've always thought the fact that the skirt is basically a rectangle with very little shaping was such an interesting choice. I didn't know all that history behind it! Your little one stealing the cupcake has me cackling!
Stunning as always. Really enjoyed the extra touch of movie memorabilia. Yes, I would love to see you remake the B&W embroidered "Tennis Court" gown Audrey Hepburn wore in Sabrina.
The opening scene dress is,what would be called, a dinner dress, the little black dress is the one she wears to Sing Sing and throughout the movie in various incarnations .
Amazing as usual; I love seeing all your work and on top of that you have a demanding, important and vital job. Don’t understand why people would pick at a pronunciation. Thanks for your videos and inspiration; may you keep having joy, happiness and creativity in your life (and lots and lots of beautiful outfits and fabric)
I really love seeing big budget projects. It's like driving through wealthy neighbourhoods to ogle the mansions, lol. Not to covet them, just to appreciate the beauty in opulence.
Gurl, I’m feeling the vibes you are seriously laying down! Get on that Golightly life! I’m not a fan of the movie but it’s not about me. You look great!
Thank you so much for this video. I went to the exhibit ‘Hubert de Givenchy, to Audrey with Love’ a few years ago in Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (The Hague in The Netherlands) and saw so many gorgeous dresses up close. This exhibition was an hommage to the relationship between the two of them. Your information on this particular dress added to what I learned there. And brought back a lot of nice memories!
Okay.... but HOW do you have time for all this? Seriously, can we get a motivation/life planning/“what my week looks like” video so we can learn how you accomplish all in your life?
This is such an iconic look! You did a fantastic job! Sabrina is one of my favorite movies. I think that Sambrina’s party gown and her little black dress are two of the best outfits in that movie.
I've been binge-watching a whole bunch of your videos lately, and you're an absolute wonder! I don't know how you manage to find enough hours in the day to juggle all the things you do. You're an inspiration, and a complete delight to watch too.
Huh. It's always interesting to see other people's drafting methods. I always start on paper, then do a rough cotton mock up and make adjustments on the mock up before going to the proper fabric.
Pattern _drafting_ (the basis of most tailoring) frequently starts on paper, while pattern _draping_ (used in a lot of dressmaking from the late 17th century onwards) is done using fabric since paper doesn’t drape the same way as fabric does.
Shoot, one of the other (many) costubers did a video on that very thing....the difference between a tailor and a Mantua maker....pretty sure it was Abby Cox ????
@@ragnkja That makes a lot of sense! I'm fairly new to making clothes so I've mostly been branching out from paper patterns I'd already used successfully.
My grandma had super long nails, and she used a dialer to be able to use that old style telephones, she kept those phones until the late 90s, and the dialer.
Thanks for mentioning the undergarments! I was curious about the foundations. I really appreciate the thoroughness you show in your videos. A lovely project ☺️
Breakfast at Tiffany's was my first foray into old films, and I always adored this dress (minus the fact that it looked like she could barely walk in it). I love seeing this come together, and come to life! You did an amazing job, and I love hearing your process
What the heck you’re so talented! Would LOVE to see that Anastasia dress too :o (Also your voice is so calming and confident. This video has impeccable vibes.)
I vote for the white dress with black embroidery which I first saw as a child and has stayed in my memory as the most perfect dress ever. I have also desired the lamp shade hat and the sunglasses along with the short black dress with the feather hem.
Omg!! First of all, it looks incredible! You nailed it (as always), and second, just yesterday I bought a Breakfast At Tiffany's poster, what a coincidence!! This movie is iconic and the next thing.
You look absolutely amazing in this dress! I love how you have the whole wishlist of outfits to make, and actually go ahead and make your dreams come true! This is so inspiring!
This is beautiful and so glad you did this!!!!! I remember back in early seasons of Project Runway (season 3 I think?) one of the contestants was assigned to modernize this Audrey Hepburn look and that she did! I can't find a video on youtube but it's similar dress but she changed the texture of it to modernize it and it looked amazing! So cool you did this!!!
Omg talking about the zipper had me pulling out the velvet and satin prom dress that belonged to one of my aunts sometime in the late 60s-early 70s, and yeah it's metal with a mixture of machine sewing and hand basting and finishing to sew it down!
I just love how you're a doctor and in your free time you make deliciously elaborate costumes. Such a vibe.
Thank you!!
I love this too!
@@ibosquez5238 yes. I am not sure in what capacity. Perhaps surgery? (Random guess.)

Agreed!
He is so adorable and your hubby is a knockout!!!
Please make an Audrey Hepburn series! That would be fantastic!
Oh absolutely!

"If you want me to make Anastasia's dress sooner...."
SMASHES THE PAUSE BUTTON
Yes, please!
PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE ANASTASIA DRESS BIG FAN WOULD LOVE TO SEE REAL LIFE DRESS. BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK
Yes, please 😭😭😭
I think I have to now! Thank you for the encouragement!
@@Sewstine if not the black dress, perhaps the golden one from the opera? Or the kokoshnic-looking one from the ball when she's a kid?
me notyou42 I love the navy blue Russian Ballet dress and the Russian court dress she wears with her kokoshnik tiara.
Yes to the blue dress! Also the designer for Anastasia the musical did her own version of the blue dress which might be worth checking out (although that one has a lot of beading and embellishment)

Bold of you to assume I wouldn’t roll up to any given funeral with the ritz fully on
Bold of some people to assume I wont arrive at the funeral dressed in a black beaded gown and a white mink stole.
@@alaskacosplay
Jet beads are appropriate for mourning, while the mink stole says you’re not actually mourning the deceased.
oh my gosh, PLEASE make the Anastasia dress asap.
Back in Sept 2019 (feels like a lifetime ago) I went to a ball and when I was looking for gowns that one was the one the top spot for inspirations what I wanted!

So, so gorgeous!! And such a dashing cupcake thief. 😁
Haha thank you!
It would be simply fabulous to see you go to Tiffany's in that dress. 💃
I seriously plan on it! And try to buy a sterling silver telephone dialed.
Very coronaproof, a telephone dialer! 😄

@@calicoquilter4472 perhaps she could attach a stylus tip on it so she could use it for a cell phone? Tiffany’s may already have such a thing

The way he just shoves that whole cupcake piece in his mouth is a MOOD and now I'm felling it
This came out so beautiful, and you make the process look so easy (haha, I know it's not). An Audrey Hepburn outfits series would be awesome!
Nothing like breakfast with Sewstine
😂😂😂 with my pastry getting stolen.
Stunning as always. Really enjoyed the extra touch of movie memorabilia. Yes, I would love to see you remake the B&W embroidered "Tennis Court" gown Audrey Hepburn wore in Sabrina.

That first clip tho. QUEEN.
Also love the red “funny face” dress! That would look amazing on you too!

Also for the Anastasia dress you could always do the Broadway version for something a little different
I actually prefer the movie version!!
@@Sewstine honestly so do I 💙
