If you're looking to replicate that Casablanca jacket without significant expense, that "safari" style came back in the 70s and the lines of the jackets would require very little alteration to get there. Also, 70s patterns are plentiful in a range of sizes. Just a suggestion that you might be able to find something really similar for a bargain. 🙂
Great work! I so appreciate the fact that you mentioned the iconic Robe de Style (perfect pronunciation, BTW.) for the 1920s. And thank you so much for mentioning my patterns, that is so awesome!
It’s been a while since I saw “The Emperor’s New Groove” and it’s absolutely as funny as I remember. I never notice the little Aztec reliefs Pointing at Kronk!! 🤣😂 ALSO, Lol thank you for telling all of us where we can find these patterns it really is appreciated!!!! 😁
You could do an entire video on re-creating Edith Head designs. I went through a stage that I watched/rented movies JUST because she designed the gowns. She was amazing at making women look stunning. Cheers!
Well, considering the Robe de style was designed first by Lanvin since 1920, most of the patterns are based from extant garments of her label, but the one you mentioned is more obvius since she was the first that designed the same type of dress with that shape and without panniers or a petticoat attached on the slip or on the dress (A.k.a without those foundations) ♡
I loved this video so much I always loved ginger Rogers dresses as a kid and I always wanted to make one for myself maybe when I get better at sewing I can make one one day…though probably not the feather dress lol
Huzzah to saying the quiet thing outloud. Wait 'till you get to menopause - because the off button eventually stops working. And that's when conversations get fun. This was fabulous. Thank you. More projects to add to the bailiwick. Well done, you. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
You said Robe de Style exactly as I've always heard it, so gold star. I do love the 20's "here's a fabric tube with a bunch of shit on the hip to make it stylish" look. Probably because I'm not an hourglass in the slightest, and it's easy to self-draft. But the Lanvin Robe de Style is on my list as well, I'm gonna make one. Tons of love for Schiaparelli, Edith Head, and adapting vintage styles to suit ourselves.
Edith Head did NOT make Audrey Hepburn’s dress for the dance. That design was made by Hubert de Givenchy. According to Jay Jorgensen in his book on Head, the sketch sent out to the press (which made it look as if Head did the designs for the film) was made to send to the seamstresses in order for them to recreate Givenchy’s design. Givenchy didn’t get a single bit of credit for the clothes that he designed for the film, because of Edith Head, who even accepted an Oscar for the designs and never made a peep acknowledging him. (!) She was notoriously territorial over the Hollywood film designs that were, for the most part, designed by her department. She was a great designer, but Givenchy absolutely made that character (Sabrina), thanks to Audrey Hepburn bringing him in to design for the film. Hepburn and Givenchy worked together for a long time, and had a close friendship. Givenchy designed Hepburn’s clothing for seven of her subsequent films, and also designed her personal wardrobe. There’s an interesting documentary about the fashions of the movie right here on RUclips!
Now off to see if star patterns have anything that resembles the stunning dresses that Deborah Kerr wore in "An Affair to Remember ". Thank you for the very entertaining and informative video.
Drinking game - take a shot every time Stephanie says borrowed. Take two shots every time Stephanie does air quotes. Winner is the one who doesn't pass out before the video ends. 😜
Can you imagine being a grandmother in the 1930s and going from Edwardian clothing to these beautiful dresses were the sleeves were replaced with straps?
When I was a kid I played on the monkey bars so much I got blisters too! We ended up going to the gymnastics supply store and getting gymnastics gloves, which I actually hated and never used, and eventually my hands just calloused up. But I don't think the school cared because I was in elementary school in the mid-80s, which were wild times.
I have the 1920s evening dress pattern. I am going to make it out of silk taffeta and will be making probably more than one mock up before I cut my taffeta.
Just found this and it reminds me of a movie that I watched years ago, called A New Kind of Love. It's a standard Hollywood love story of the 60's, but this was about the fashion industry and potential espionage of it. I remember Paul Newman and Zsa Zsa Gabor as actors in it. If anyone chances to find it and watch it, I hope you enjoy it too. Mostly for its cheesy love story, but certainly for it's part in showing us just a bit of fashion.
@@StephanieCanada More like: “Happy to make you spend money you don’t need to”. No, just kidding. I appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge/research.
As a note about the Dior bar suit/ensemble. If you want to recreate this look, the skirt is actually fully pleated, not gathered. A gathered or circle skirt, however, could pass.
I heard "lobster dress" and that made me wonder if that's why 5+ people bought crayfish dresses off of my Redbubble...but the dresses are nothing alike. There goes that theory lol
I have ALWAYS wanted the silver lame dress that Peggy Sue wore to her reunion in Peggy Sue Got Married... I saw it as a little girl and I've wanted it ever since... I STILL want it ! .. the skirt part is layered .. the problem is I cannot find ANYTHING with a similar bust... I know it was a style, but it's like patterns don't exist, it just "poofed" into existence. Also want a certain Barbie coat .. that I think I will have to frankenstein a pattern, using a robe pattern.
I have very questionable taste in movies (I barely watch them) but the dream ‘costume’ item for me is Kinda Kozlowski’s white blouse in Crocodile Dundee 2. Of all the costumes in all of movie history and that is what my brain fixated on…
Yes re-create old patterns I wished you could do the old stars and Jackie Kennedy's dresses and suits and Princess Diana and Princess Katherine and Duchess Sophie and gowns old evening and cocktail dresses from the 40s 50s and 60s Jessica McClintock Carolyn Bissett
@@StephanieCanada now that Disney owens Alien, Ripley is a Princess, she charms animals, sleeps in a glass coffin, gets S* done & has a Song moment, Ash is a Huntsnan, Mother is a Stepmother & Hive Queen is a Wicked Queen 😎😋💋
Re-create Diane Fursenberg wrap dress Oleg Cassini and the old Chanel suits some of Elizabeth Taylors and Marilyn Monroe costumes Dallas Dynasty and the Colbys Falcon Crest costumes
@@StephanieCanada you and I both! but since there were a LOT of official copies sold out there, did anyone do a make-at-home pattern for this dress? You would know better than anyone.
I think we all have a very small Cronk dancing around singing his own theme music in our brains
ACCURATE!!!

Thank you so much! (And I am glad SOME of that high school French stuck around in my brain). And always happy to mention a fellow pattern seller!
When you mentioned Dior's Bar Suit my heart melted. That's my dream garment.
I am so glad I was able to help a little.
@@StephanieCanada Thank you!!
2:27 the Black and white lovely thing is named the Ironworks Dress, made in 1898, absolutely one of my favorites
THANK YOU! I knew it had to have a name of some kind.
@@StephanieCanada of course! No problem
It’s been a while since I saw “The Emperor’s New Groove” and it’s absolutely as funny as I remember. I never notice the little Aztec reliefs Pointing at Kronk!! 🤣😂
ALSO, Lol thank you for telling all of us where we can find these patterns it really is appreciated!!!! 😁
Emperor's New Groove is one of my all time favorite movies! I will never NOT use the Kronk meme. And I am happy to help!
Haha! I had to pause the video so that I could choke-laugh!
Great job finding some dupes! I love the Konk bit about spying, I about died and snorted my soda out my nose.
Happy to help (but not with the velocity of the soda through your nose). 😂
You could do an entire video on re-creating Edith Head designs. I went through a stage that I watched/rented movies JUST because she designed the gowns. She was amazing at making women look stunning. Cheers!
My daughter was just Edith Head for a wax museum! When the fashion icons were taken dad said “I’ll do you one better!”
I can NOT pray you enough for adressing the robe de style in the 1920s, you're the best ♡
Happy to help, and oh good! I was so nervous I was saying it wrong.

+100 points for Emperor's New Groove references!
It is truly one of my favorite movies!
I think it is fantastic that the vintage gowns are being shared, and are continued to be made!
The lobster dress (or an homage to it) has been in my list of "one day I'll make"s for a LONG time!
It wasn't on my list UNTIL I did this video. Now I must make it!
Pull the lever, Kronk!!
Yes, I know it’s not in the video. But still, quite possibly one of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a movie.
Oh I will work it in again soon.
Go kiddo go! Monkey bar callouses are the first step to attaining the core and upper body strength of an amazingly tough superhero princess!
RIGHT! She is SO much better with upper arm strength than I have ever been.
I love Marilyn Monroes Niagara outfit
Truth! But honestly I love Marilyn, period. I even bleach my hair long ago to look like her for Halloweenn.
I loved this video so much I always loved ginger Rogers dresses as a kid and I always wanted to make one for myself maybe when I get better at sewing I can make one one day…though probably not the feather dress lol

@@StephanieCanada Meh... tain't nothing to fuss over, me dear.
I will always have love for Kronk. And patterns…
Same! On both accounts.
I flipped with joy when you mentioned the Lobster dress!

OOO... they might, but mercy are they hard to find.
This video is clear proof that there is no medium where The Emperor’s New Groove references do not belong.
RIGHT! I have used many ENG moments in my videos and they always work.
Star Patterns! I have to buy... Hollywood will no longer do... Addiction coming up warning..
Thank you
Birdy
They are amazing, but quite rare. I wish you all the best with your hunt.
I did enjoy the dive into past fashion. TFS
This was so helpful! I would love to see you make a part 2! (Or maybe even a series?😍)
That was fascinating! Damn, I wish I could sew.
Not only is this an intriguing video .... I'll bet you were an announcer in 1930s documentaries in a previous life ... Bravo.
Aww thank you so much! That means the world to me!
Came late to the party of this video. Shame on me. It is excellent. Well done.
Stephanie I just came across your channel I love it.
I was absolutely mesmerized and hung on your every word for the entire video. About to now jump on the Star bandwagon.
Thank you so much! And yes, the Star patterns are truly phenomenal!
I did not know about star patterns and now I am super curious about them

Thanks , loving the 50’s and 60’s as it reminds me of some of my parents great looks ! My dad wore a zute ? Suit and mom wore some lovely suits also.
Oh I was so happy to see you posted! I’m going to settle in and watch your video and please forgive the running commentary! Hahahahaha
So glad my computer and editing program finally got their poop in a group to let me export the silly thing. I hope you enjoyed it.

Great post,enjoyed watching this so much,thanks for sharing,best wishes,Akshata.stay in touch
I have a copy of the Make and Mend book. It was my grandma's. When the New Look first came out, women actually took to the streets in protest!

Thanks!
You have an excellent presentation style!

The collar on Ingrid Bergman’s jacket doesn’t have a lapel. It just has a collar, but the lines of the jacket are correct.
At 12:52 (ish)… Dear Elle… 🤣
