Ok...this is very generous and kind of you! I'm all in. Upgraded my Patreon AND going over to buy some patterns. I sure wish I could wear these, but my female friends in theater are very excited as they will benefit from this...Day one of 21 officially sheltering in place, San Jose, CA
So happy and thankfull for that generous gift !! 🥰💜
You are a great great teacher, Gertie. Greetings from Colombia.
You are a literal ray of sunshine
You are such a great teacher ,I have already learned so much from you .I want to never leave your site
SIS. You are literally the reason i bought a sewing machine (cheapy 80 bucks at walmart to try it out before going all in. ) Well the damn thing broke. So for Christmas this year my husband bought me a brand new Singer C5200❤️❤️ Dinner napkins have already been made, time to tackle dress making ☺️☺️ I just gotta figure out how to take measurements and learn to use them on where to cut or how much fabric to cut. Cheers❤️ Keep the videos coming sis ☺️👌👌👍. -Lee and Micah Jones.
I’m so greatful!! When I saw your stay at home sale I got the Liz dress pattern, Lamour dress pattern and the Dorothy bolero patter!! I have Crohn’s disease and am on immunosuppressants so I can’t leave the house currently and this gives me a lovely distraction and something to look forward to in these dark times. I love you Gertie you are amazing thank you for doing so much for us!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This dress looks amazing I got pattern book of yours as a gift, trying to find the correct fabric to make dress of yours..... really enjoy watching your videos of your style just gorgeous
Love the fact you have different bust cup measurements on your pattern. My wife is a double D, and has to do a full bust alteration on most of the commercial patterns she uses. I'm working my way through. Gertie sews a Jiffy dress book, and can't wait to try this pattern.
Thank God I found you I am so inspire because of you I am going to continue chasing my dream in making beautiful projects... I am following as you are teaching because I am a visual learner. Thank you so much I subscribed and like all of your videos Gertie! Love how you teach and how you explained step by step my passion is coming into reality!
Pattern Just Arrived !!!!!! SO EXCITED !!!!
Thankyou for this, I'm going to make these videos my reward for a day's study (when you're studying online anyway nothing changes). While I personally need a dress with sleeves I feel like the techniques are adaptable for a lot of similar projects.
What a beautiful gesture, thank you. May it return tenfold xx
I love watching your videos these days. I've started the hostess set and So excited to make this next! Just ordered my steel boning today! Love all these gorgeous vintage designs. I get so many compliments on the picnic blouse and skirt set. Can wait to see what other fun things I can make
What a lovely gift you give, thanks Gertie.
Thank you so much for the generosity! bought fabric to make a Lamour for my 30th birthday/dissertation defense party at the end of the month that now likely won't happen. Still planning on making and wearing it, although the occasion will look very different! All the vintage sewing is definitely lifting my spirits : )
For folks that are thankful and able (and I emphasize able!) may I suggest showing some support on Gertie's Patreon? (There's also more goodies on there and a live stream coming up I think) I'll be upping my membership since I was planning on buying the class anyway!
Want to say congrats on finishing up on your grad studies
Jess thank you!
I just happen to be currently making a Lamour Dress as my #stayhomeandsew project! I'm going to leave the bodice aside until all the lessons are released and definitely follow your instructions. Thank you so much for this gift! 💜
I’m so glad you’ve been uploading tutorials! I love your style of teaching and how thorough you are! Thanks for sharing your gift with us! 💝
Thank you. I’m so grateful I can cry.
It’s exactly the kind of dress I want the boning is very intimidating for my very basic sewing level anyone else done this that’s a newbie to sewing?
Here! I'm trying to do it! :)
Thank you so much for offering this! I've just ordered the pattern and can't wait to tackle this project.
I recently found you and watched your entire Lamour Dress Class and just bought the pattern and recieved it in the mail!! I hope you keep this video up for a while and can't wait to start today.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Perfect timing for me as I have a boned wedding dress to make.....
Thank you so much for releasing this series to RUclips. 💕💕
Thank you so much for releasing this to the public! I just watched the whole series and had to buy the pattern. I have always been too intimidated to sew myself real garments, but this video walking us through every step makes me believe I can. I am so excited to start this dress, thank you!
Thanks so much for this generous gift Gertie!
Thank you!! You are absolutely gorgeous! You remind me of Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz. I love your style and you are super talented. I want to grow up to be just like you! Thank you for sharing! ☺️👗🎀💄💋
Thank you very much.
I really do appreciate having this access to your material.
Oh my goodness.......I so love you and your channel, and planning on buying all your charms patterns.
As I said on pattern, you're so gorgeous for doing this. Lost of love
Incredible! I just bought the pattern and know I will need guidance. Was looking for the class on your site and happened upon it here. THANK YOU!!!!
I did buy this class and I am so happy you are also offering it on your RUclips. I am also patreon member. Your patterns are the only patterns that give me a pattern I can make without all the FBA headaches. Thank you so much
If you make the straps longer, you could cross them behind the neck and then snap them to the top edge on the back.
You are such a doll for doing this!!!!
Thank you Gertie, love your patterns and have bought your books which I recommend to everyone because of the quality of your teaching xxx
Thank you so much for sharing this course on RUclips! I bought the pattern and I’m gathering all my materials. I went with slightly more pricey fabrics so I’m hoping this turns out all right!! 😆 I have to head down to one of the stores you shared in your document that has spiral steel boning. Wish me luck!! 😁 Will share the finished product if it turns out on Instagram!
im going to try the boning with zip-ties!
Thank you! That’s so cool! I would love to make this dress!
LOVE IT!! Thank you! I’m a (very) new sewer and have dreams of being capable of making your Jane patttern (very cute!) thanks for the great content!!
What a thoughtful thing to do! Thank you
Thank you take care from Sharon in the UK x
This is just so awesome of you Gertie!!! ❤️💖❤️💖🥰
Thanks Gertie. You rock!
Wow thanks for the classes I am still very new and I still don’t know how to read a pattern yet but I am trying to learn I just look at stuff and try sewing what I see I learned how to make my clothes by watching yumi king and with Wendy but I have always wanted to learn 50s style tops and add them to circle skirts that I love to make... what do you do if your a size xl but a bust size G?
The Lamour does come with multiple cup sizes so that may help. I'd also suggest joining the FB group "Gertie Sew and Tell." Several of the members are very helpful with fitting advice.
Can you add length to the skirt portion? I would like this for more of a wedding dress.
What would your suggestion for sizing be for larger women? I struggle to find patterns my size and I’m a newish sewer. Any advice? I love the way you structured your videos!
You are the bestest. I'm glad I joined your Patreon.
THANK YOU! I am your patrion subscriber and i have two of your patterns, this one and Liz one. cant wait to start!
Thank you so much ❤️ what a great idea 👍🏻👏🏻 Stay healthy!
Thank you so much for this free class ♡
Omg, thank you for this amazing video! 💜💜💜✨
Thank you so much Gertie!
Well this is so sweet!
I just discovered you! You are so adorable! I love your channel!. One question. Can you recommend anything else not made out of metal for use in the boning? I've discovered that under wire bras are not healthy for women, in fact wearing metal on the body is not healthy for our body. Can you recommend some good quality alternatives? I know you mentioned that plastic can be used but you also said that nothing is better than metal. Is that your final comment, can you recommend a good quality plastic boning materials for sewing? Thank you love.
Rigilene is the plastic alternative for boning. It won't take as much weight as steel boning and will buckle under if the weight is exceeded. Which is why I prefer metal. Some people also like to use heavy duty plastic zip ties as boning. I've never done this myself, but you could do some internet research if you're interested.
how would you suggest washing the garment with spiral steel? can you wash it like normal for the fabric. or does it need to be dry cleaned if just normal cotton/natural fiber?
I have always loved this style dress and look forward to making one from your pattern.
Do you (or anyone else for that matter) have any tips or publication recommendations for us ladies with smaller than a b cup? I know that a full bust adjustment is a thing so the opposite must be possible, right?
there are multiple bust size options for each size in most of the charm patterns (I usually make the c or b depending on the style.
It is called a small bust adjustment.
So nice
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. My 'problem' is that full bust is 39" , upper bust 37" , waist is 34" ( protruding tummy) and hips 43" . It is very difficult finding an actual size that fits.
You grade between sizes using a french curve ruler or use freehand to connect the different sizes. ruclips.net/video/p0MFJNE9V3s/видео.html
Femmefatale32000 thank you for the link. I also have hard to fit sizing and this will be useful!
@@merindymorgenson3184 No problem! There is a book I would also recommend with regards to pattern fitting, by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto. The old edition would have been called 'Fit for reall people' - but they have a new edition out now.
Thank you so very much xxxx
Thankyou so much
I like the dress 50
Thank you
So excited for this!
since it can be made in silk, I could use satin as well?
I wouldn’t use those on my first few dresses but if your heart is set on the fabric then go for it I think if my memory serves right when the needle goes through the holes it’s difficult to make adjustments and you’ll be able to see those holes if you have to take it apart or do a seam ripper type adjustment, and refit? Did you do the dress? How did it turn out?
Thank you so much! This helped me so much!
New Sub Here but have been watching for a while thanks so much for the pattern.
Gracias besos desde Argentina
The things people allow others to do to them.
Thank you!!! 🍀
Thank you so much for this!
Who is made the dress ?
Do you have tutorial for your hairdo? Just wondering.
I have question for you, what is your recommendation for the hot weather with cotton dress with two layers is unbearable!!
Do you need boneing or can I leave that out
I bought this 2 weeks before it was free.
I freaking LOVE you!!!!
thank you!

STAY HOME
I got your pattern and I am disappointed by the quality or lack there of...it has small rips throughout the pattern it was clearly returned it also had a small blood like stain on it...so disappointed 😔
Have you contacted us about it? That is definitely not normal! We don’t take returns so that wouldn’t be the problem, but once in a blue moon there are small defects from the printing plant. We can’t make it right unless you contact us though! Support@charmpatterns.com
Gertie ty for reaching out but I just traced it out to save the aggregation of returning it ty though...
Thank you 💕💕
Thank you! 💕
