Your videos are interesting because of your personality and presentation style. Let’s face it there are tons of CosTubers if you just want to watch someone make pretty dresses. I was initially drawn to your channel because you’re one of the few making costumes in larger sizes, but definitely stick around for your personality.
I totally agree. Rebecca, no matter how many times you repeat the issues, I learn something new each time. It must be frustrating, but we appreciate it.
Absolutely! Patterns are expensive. If you have a good one that fits well and can be used with different kinds of fabrics…got for it. One one is really going to know, the will be admiring the fabric.
This was so fun... Perhaps now you kinda have a set block for gunnesax dresses, perhaps you can do a "birthstone" gunnesax project... Either all 12 done by you, or find 11 other sewers to have each of you do one for each of your birth months.
Fit issues do add bite to your videos, but a bodice block pattern that is universal would save you some serious headaches. Go for the bodice block pattern that best suits you. You have received sage advice.🙂
I am not opposed to the bodice block, mostly because then it would be an opportunity to learn how a basic block can be altered to create many different pieces. Another gorgeous Gunne Rebecca!
Go for the bodice block. It'll still be interesting with different fabrics, how you alter the various bits to suit your purpose, and your design choices. What I like is your thought process. It really helps me understand WHY you do things a particular way, whether it is personal preference or for a functional reason, or a design choice.
I actually think that a sloper pattern could be very interesting, because for different dresses/garments it would still mean changing the generic sloper to a particular pattern with style lines. I really want a sloper, and I want to learn how to adjust the shape of neckline and style lines. I also imagine it would make sewing easier for you, which would be a pro:)
Honestly, a basic bodice pattern would be good. You can then show how you change that bodice for projects that have different shapes to the bodice. As others have said, I appreciate seeing someone who is plus-sized explaining how they adjust things to fit comfortably, as I am also plus-sized. Plus, you feel approachable and have a warmth to you that I really enjoy watching. You've got an enthusiasm for your projects, even the ones that are aggravating, that is fun to watch.
Uncloaking to say - More please! I'd love to see a version for Valentine's day, St Patrick's, Independence Day, Disney, and autumn. The same pattern isn't an issue. If you get bored, you can always adjust the neckline, vary the sleeves & number of ruffles. Also different varying trims could make the dresses quite unique from each other. The style is soooo flattering for you & you look so happy wearing them. (BTW have you ever noticed that Queen Elizabeth wears only variations of the same dress. She changes fabrics & details, then adds different accessories & hats. If you didn't - see how well it works?)
It's not boring at all! I watch your videos to see what pieces you're making, following the progress and seeing everything come together, not necessarily because of potential issues that may (or may not) pop up whilst you are working on ^^
I absolutely ADORE winter themed anything so I'm not gonna complain :P I'm also a strong a member of the "I'm obsessed with making this one thing so I'm gonna make 20 before I move on" club
I really love the white band at the bottom! While watching you go through blue fabrics I was thinking to myself if you were going to try white silver fabric, and you did! Lucky you had enough of it:)
I still have my Gunne Sax dress from 1978, that I wore for a prom dress. It is a printed pattern with a light blue background and tiny purple flowers. It has a white lace up front and a white lace jacket. I get it out every once in a while just to go down memory lane. Out of all the “fancy” dresses I have owned I still think it’s the prettiest.
You look lovely in your dress. It's not wide, it's FULL and SWIRLY, which is the point of Gunne Sax. It's supposed to make you feel pretty. We can see on your face that your project is a success. Bravo.
This dress turned out so beautiful! My personal opinion on the sleeves is that they don't look too wide, partly because the sleeve style and fabric pattern have such a delicate feel that it counteracts any impression of broadness or blockiness. One possibility if you decide that the neckline is a little too bare is: piping! About halfway through the video, I found myself thinking, "This dress would *love* some piping... but don't comment, because she's already got all those seams in!" On the whole, this dress is a confection in the best possible way, and I adore it; the gloves you paired it with in the reveal video were the perfect addition.
Those gloves match so perfectly! You look like the perfect snow gunny doll! Thanks for sharing all your thought process, set backs, and triumphs. It's really encouraging to watch.
As a beginner, it's nice to see how you work through the struggles and problems you're having, but I don't think you should suffer unnecessarily for it! If making a bodice block would make your life easier, I think you should definitely do that! And there's always going to be something to be learned from how you draft it and how you adapt it for different styles :)
🇨🇦😃 The closet historian uses a basic bodice block and she’s never boring and you couldn’t possibly be either… and then you get to show us how you change it to make it look like your inspiration… I’m not saying never use patterns but it might just help you in general in fitting things
You look very nice in those dresses! Use a pressing cloth to iron those melty fabrics. A white cotton cloth over the top of what you are pressing. The whole time I was watching you try and pick a blue trim for the ruffle, I was thinking "use the white sleeve material"! The dress turned out very cute and I love that you use what you have!
Oh my goodness! How PRECIOUS IS THIS?! I adore all the details and the velvet ribbon especially (just got to the end and OH NO). To answer your question, no, I don't find this any less entertaining with a dress you have done repeatedly. It is good to see what new challenges you take on because you are comfy with the rest of the pattern.
This is my favorite color combination on you. I love everything about this dress. This pattern is definitely a keeper and I don’t find you at all boring and I would love to see you do a sloped pattern.
No, they won't get boring. As someone who makes the same patterns over and over, just the different fabrics will cause fitting problems. Trims. last minute changes, shortages in fabric, there is ALWAYS something to cause problems. We're here to visit while you make things. It can take you several videos to make one thing, we don't mind. You can have problems or things can go smooth as butter, that's all fine, too. This dress came out BEAUTIFULLY!
It's beautiful! Outside, the gloves were so perfect. I love that a middle button landed in the middle of a snowflake. The buttons are just the right amount of sparkle. Thanks for showing us the choices you had to decide amongst. I love your sense of aesthetics.
I always felt so pretty in Gunne Sax. There is just something about all the involvement and detail that makes it so much more than a vanilla dress. I like this one as much as I have liked the others. Happy new year.
I love seeing what the different patterns and colors look like with the same dress pattern. This dress came out so beautiful and the style really suits you. Can’t wait for the next video.
LOL no your videos are not boring when you don't have fit issues. Not worrying about that stuff allows you to spend your time on creativity rather than frustration. Those white and blue snowflake fabrics look beautiful together. Fan of the blue velvet ribband being added and the snowflakes on the bottom. Get more velvet ribband!!! Always use a pressing cloth on textured fabrics, but I think you know that now :) This looks adorable on you!
Back in 1982, my grandmother made a Gunne Sax dress for me. I was 12. It was for a portrait that my sister and I were going to be having made. I LOVED that dress! But, it was too dressy to wear much, so I only wore it for the picture. But, I loved it so much! It had the white puffy sleeves. The bodice and skirt were brown with tiny little flowers. The bodice had all the ribbon and buttons (hashtagobviouslyduh, it's Gunne Sax). And I thought it was amazing! Edited to add: the pattern was Simplicity 5119. Man, I loved that dress! LOL
Such a beautiful dress! I personally will never get bored regardless of how many gunne sax inspired projects you do! I used to have a large collection of gs dresses about 15ish years ago - then i outgrew all but one! Ive still got that one and i adore it ❤ so seeing you make all yours makes me very happy!
I think it helps everybody to see how you deal with fit issues, since so many of us struggle with that. Having somebody with skills show how to fix them is really a good service for viewers. The dress turned out really pretty. I have one question, and I wonder if it's something that is being taught now. So many sewists, to my eye, put buttons really close together and have more buttons down the front than looks "right" to me. Is there some formula being taught, such as how to divide the opening (or area of trim) length for spacing, and does it take into account the size of the button? Thanks.
Honestly, when I'm looking at decorative buttons like these, I just go with whatever interval looks right. If they're functional, you have to keep in mind placement (esp around the bust), and to not space them too far apart. But I've never heard of any hard and fast rule for spacing buttons.
You're gonna continue this in the Spring right? I think you need to make an Anne of Green Gables one with short puffed sleeves out of multiple layers of pastel voile and 9000 yards of trim.
That lavender color is SO pretty on you, Rebecca! If that lovely sparkly white fabric is anything like what I got from Joann's a year or two ago, please be super duper careful if you ever wash it. On mine, the sparklies came off in the wash. But gosh, this is so pretty on you!
The finished dress looks beautiful! I love the ribbon tie better than the velvet. You could just add thread loops (like the type used instead of a button hole only big enough to go completely around the ribbon without bunching it up) to the sides of the dress to hold the ribbon in place a little. I think everyone can benefit from a basic bodice block to get that perfect fit every time. Changing the style lines on a bodice block is usually easier and less frustrating than making several mockups of a pattern that does not fit right to begin with. Happy New Year!
in original Gunney's the sash in front was part of the bodice with back sash being set into the side seems making it seem like it is one ribbon, but they weren't, and made life easier.
Such a cute dress! Having the white sleeve fabric repeated at the ruffle really balances out the whole dress, I think that was a much better choice than any of the other fabrics. Also the contrasting sleeves work super well! I don't think they make you look very wide at the shoulders, because you've mentioned before that you have naturally sloping shoulders, which I feel balances it out. I think it's also good that the white ribbons don't extend all the way to the top because the sleeves are also white, so the white doesn't become too dominant at the top of the shoulders (and it might also alter again how the shoulders look, for better or worse). For me this video is still interesting, I just love seeing the design process and the decisions that are made when making a garment!
I would say that if you didn't sleep on it and the sun didn't rise before you finished it then it should be considered a 2021 project. And it is so super cute
I didn't call them granny dresses, but I was spoiled that one of my grandmas made almost all my dresses in this style. I'm sure I didn't appreciate them enough.
I love this version! The blues and whites are gorgeous. Definitely not boring without fit issues. I would love to see more footage of you actually creating. I love hearing you talk about your process like you already do, but some in between shots of you actually doing the thing would be really cool.
Oh I love that dress! I really want to have a go at malang my own gunne-sax dress! Honestly I enjoy seeing people work thru fit issues. It's something I have a lot of issues with so seeing others work thru them gives me ideas to try to work thru mine.
This is just as adorable as your others. You need the velvet belt as it gave another texture. But so cute. You look great in these. Glad you didn't use the star print, and since I loved the vest/corset you made for the others,which I loved, maybe this would look good with one. Either way, I enjoy your videos and your fun attitude. Thanks.
I am in love with that fabric. I have been looking for some stunning snowflake fabric for years. Some I samples I ordered online was just disappointing. This one has mesmerized me. I also feel like I want to join the Gunner sax dress fever this year 🤩
So when I do my cuffs. I cut the inside and outside separately. I attach the outside sleeve. I then sew the inside sleeve right-side with the outside. Flip it over. Do that nifty stay stitch. Iron. Then use the inside to inside the seam of the outside fabric. I do interface some of them and they come out nicer. I like to felt my seams so I started doing it this way to make it easier for me.
Love the dress! And I really Like seeing you repeat a pattern since I feel that's how one does for daily wear, the first is a test, the second is conformation and the third is playtime! Now you know the pattern and don't have to take time to check fit and troubleshoot things so you have more fun in design. And I don't think the white sleeves makes your proportions look wide at all!
I love this dress! I don't think your shoulders look too wide in it, but if it's something that's bothering you I wonder if maybe adding some trim around the armscyes (or just another line of trim further out on the bodice, closer to the armscyes) might help? As soon as you showed us the sleeves I thought to myself that this seemed like a project that would look really cute with buttons, and then lo and behold, you added buttons! They really add an extra something to the dress that I think is very pretty if subtle. The finished product is so cute and I love the materials you chose!
Definitely keep the fit issues in your videos. I have yet gotten my older plus size courage up yet to sew my own clothes. I focus on my super thin daughters clothes and your fit issues and solutions help me figure out how to fit them.
This dress is so pretty! Your fabric choices were great! Your snowy fashion show was really cool! Please make me one! You look amazing in the dress, it made me think of Frozen! I love that movie! Let it Go!!! ❄️❄️❄️ Teresa☆
I would absolutely be interested in more gunne sax videos, but moreso if you did a bit of a different design! The last 3 have had the same seam lines and they look super great, but it'd be fun to see you mix it up a bit
It's your final project of 2021! I think it's a beautiful dress, and so pleased you used the sleeve material at the bottom. You'd think by now I'd stop talking to the screen while you're asking questions lol.
I just can’t with this. It looks so good. I got this blue fabric a while back, inspired by your other gunne sax dresses and spent hour in the store trying to find something that I thought would coordinate. I just can’t seem to see the end game. So I got just the blue fabric and tried making a dress with it and so many things just didn’t work out and now I absolutely hate it and you took the same fabric, and coordinating stuff that I also saw there and it is magic! Sigh. In short: I love your version and this is what I wish mine had turned out like lol
@@LadyRebeccaFashions it is an expensive mistake for me, even with cheap fabric, but she is currently languishing on my dress form until I can figure out a way to make it better.
It is sooo BEAUTIFUL. And it's BLUE!!!! The finished product looks fabulous on you. I don't think it makes you look wider through the shoulders. It's so blessed adorable on you. Happy New Year, too!
Using a sloper for your patterns isn't boring. It'll allow you to be more creative. The Closet Historian makes all her own patterns (except for her costumes). She's not boring and neither are you!
sooo prettyyy, I've been planning my own #wintergunne since #gunnesaxoween, so i will be re-watching these when I finally get ready to sew (i'm stuck slooowwyy working my way thru Italian renaissance... inbetween shifts ~RN~)
You made the right decision with regards to the all the trim and tying-up the sleeves to the main dress as I really Hated all the Materials you are showing to attach the ruffle to the skirt, I really love all three dresses.
Your videos are interesting because of your personality and presentation style. Let’s face it there are tons of CosTubers if you just want to watch someone make pretty dresses.

I totally agree. Rebecca, no matter how many times you repeat the issues, I learn something new each time. It must be frustrating, but we appreciate it.
There is no shame in continuously using a pattern that fits you well especially as it suits you so splendidly. :}
Absolutely! Patterns are expensive. If you have a good one that fits well and can be used with different kinds of fabrics…got for it. One one is really going to know, the will be admiring the fabric.

Fit issues do add bite to your videos, but a bodice block pattern that is universal would save you some serious headaches. Go for the bodice block pattern that best suits you. You have received sage advice.🙂
And, may i just say that I can't believe you found color matched gloves too!
Very cute! Stop worrying! You're never boring! We'd watch you pet the cat for a half hour! Magical dresses!
I am not opposed to the bodice block, mostly because then it would be an opportunity to learn how a basic block can be altered to create many different pieces.

I looooved that the intrigue of this dress/video was all design and construction choices and NO fit issues -- it looks awesome on you! ❄
I'm a UK Gunne Sax aholic and I have just made my first Gunne sax -alike dress. Thank you for inspiring me . Here's to more Gunne Sax sewalongs .
It's not boring at all! I watch your videos to see what pieces you're making, following the progress and seeing everything come together, not necessarily because of potential issues that may (or may not) pop up whilst you are working on ^^
I think this is my favourite of your gunne sax dresses. That might just be my love of blue.
Glad you got to show it off in the snow.
It's Elsa's country dress! Well done.
I absolutely ADORE winter themed anything so I'm not gonna complain :P I'm also a strong a member of the "I'm obsessed with making this one thing so I'm gonna make 20 before I move on" club
I really love the white band at the bottom! While watching you go through blue fabrics I was thinking to myself if you were going to try white silver fabric, and you did! Lucky you had enough of it:)
Gorgeous!!!!! Definitely not boring! Gives me hope that I can get to a pattern(s) that I wont have issues with every time I use it.
I love this style of dress. I'd make myself a Valentines, St. Patrick's Day, and an Easter version.
I still have my Gunne Sax dress from 1978, that I wore for a prom dress. It is a printed pattern with a light blue background and tiny purple flowers. It has a white lace up front and a white lace jacket. I get it out every once in a while just to go down memory lane. Out of all the “fancy” dresses I have owned I still think it’s the prettiest.
Everytime you make one of these all I can think is how much I want to make one. So cute.
You look lovely in your dress. It's not wide, it's FULL and SWIRLY, which is the point of Gunne Sax. It's supposed to make you feel pretty. We can see on your face that your project is a success. Bravo.

Using the same material for the ruffle that you used for the sleeves was genius.
Finding the right fabric is such a skill. Thanks for showing your thought process.

Trims. last minute changes, shortages in fabric, there is ALWAYS something to cause problems. We're here to visit while you make things. It can take you several videos to make one thing, we don't mind. You can have problems or things can go smooth as butter, that's all fine, too. This dress came out BEAUTIFULLY!
When you find a pattern/fit that works, stick with it! I love watching how the same pattern can be changed in small ways.
It's beautiful! Outside, the gloves were so perfect. I love that a middle button landed in the middle of a snowflake. The buttons are just the right amount of sparkle. Thanks for showing us the choices you had to decide amongst. I love your sense of aesthetics.
"Shooting off stupidity..." said like a true Washingtonian! 🤣
I always felt so pretty in Gunne Sax. There is just something about all the involvement and detail that makes it so much more than a vanilla dress. I like this one as much as I have liked the others. Happy new year.
Love the way it turned out, just the right colour ratios too.
I love seeing what the different patterns and colors look like with the same dress pattern. This dress came out so beautiful and the style really suits you. Can’t wait for the next video.
LOL no your videos are not boring when you don't have fit issues. Not worrying about that stuff allows you to spend your time on creativity rather than frustration. Those white and blue snowflake fabrics look beautiful together. Fan of the blue velvet ribband being added and the snowflakes on the bottom. Get more velvet ribband!!! Always use a pressing cloth on textured fabrics, but I think you know that now :) This looks adorable on you!
Beautiful! I think the choice of the sleeve fabric for the band was perfect.
Without fit issues the videos are more relaxing. I guess that's why I like watching skirts being made so much. As opposed to corsets...
Back in 1982, my grandmother made a Gunne Sax dress for me. I was 12. It was for a portrait that my sister and I were going to be having made. I LOVED that dress!

It's already pre-washed, and wound up fine! Hopefully it will stick around. And thanks!
I could never be bored with a gunne sax or snow gunne dress. Came out great, I am so jealous. Thank you for sharing
The finished dress looks beautiful! I love the ribbon tie better than the velvet. You could just add thread loops (like the type used instead of a button hole only big enough to go completely around the ribbon without bunching it up) to the sides of the dress to hold the ribbon in place a little. I think everyone can benefit from a basic bodice block to get that perfect fit every time. Changing the style lines on a bodice block is usually easier and less frustrating than making several mockups of a pattern that does not fit right to begin with. Happy New Year!
This style of dress looks so good on you! I can't wait to see what variation you do next.
in original Gunney's the sash in front was part of the bodice with back sash being set into the side seems making it seem like it is one ribbon, but they weren't, and made life easier.
Ha ha. You were showing all the other fabrics and i was like “use the white!!!!!” I like it!!!
Such a cute dress! Having the white sleeve fabric repeated at the ruffle really balances out the whole dress, I think that was a much better choice than any of the other fabrics.
Also the contrasting sleeves work super well! I don't think they make you look very wide at the shoulders, because you've mentioned before that you have naturally sloping shoulders, which I feel balances it out.

For me this video is still interesting, I just love seeing the design process and the decisions that are made when making a garment!
In the 70s we called these Granny Dresses. They were the best for comfort & washing etc. I guess Granny is close to Gunne. lol
You look breathtakingly lovely in your dress twirling in the snow.
I would say that if you didn't sleep on it and the sun didn't rise before you finished it then it should be considered a 2021 project. And it is so super cute
That turned out super cute. I think this is my favorite of the Gunne Sax-inspired dresses you've made. So far, anyway.
So cute! Maybe add thread chains- sides AND back- to keep the sash in place the way you want it.
Valentine's Gunne next? (hint hint, wink wink) I love this winter one, and I do like the sash better, especially the big bow in the back!
I always look forward to Tuesday. It’s something to be excited about
Lovely dress. I could see a blue quilted Gunne Sax jacket with it.
Tip: ALWAYS use a pressing cloth with textured fabric. That way you can avoid damaging your fabics or iron. 😊
Your color balance is perfect and it looks wonderful on you❤️
I hope 2022 is a fantastic year for you!!!
Ripping the fabric is SOOO satisfying!!
I was a child in the 70’s. I wore these style dress all the time but we called them granny dresses
I didn't call them granny dresses, but I was spoiled that one of my grandmas made almost all my dresses in this style. I'm sure I didn't appreciate them enough.
lol yep.
It came out wonderfully, and the colour is beautiful on you.
I think the shoulder width gives you more of an hour glass shape and it is a great silhouette for you!
I love this version! The blues and whites are gorgeous.
Definitely not boring without fit issues. I would love to see more footage of you actually creating. I love hearing you talk about your process like you already do, but some in between shots of you actually doing the thing would be really cool.
You look so lovely in the dress in the snow! Like a poem in motion.
What a gorgeous dress! You look stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Oh I love that dress! I really want to have a go at malang my own gunne-sax dress! Honestly I enjoy seeing people work thru fit issues. It's something I have a lot of issues with so seeing others work thru them gives me ideas to try to work thru mine.
This is just as adorable as your others. You need the velvet belt as it gave another texture. But so cute. You look great in these.

I had several Gunne Sax dresses in the 70s.. Should have kept them considering how valuable those puppies are.
I am in love with that fabric. I have been looking for some stunning snowflake fabric for years. Some I samples I ordered online was just disappointing. This one has mesmerized me. I also feel like I want to join the Gunner sax dress fever this year 🤩
Happy new year to you and the animals. The dress is lovely and the gloves matched perfectly. Xx
So when I do my cuffs. I cut the inside and outside separately. I attach the outside sleeve. I then sew the inside sleeve right-side with the outside. Flip it over. Do that nifty stay stitch. Iron. Then use the inside to inside the seam of the outside fabric. I do interface some of them and they come out nicer. I like to felt my seams so I started doing it this way to make it easier for me.
Love the dress! And I really Like seeing you repeat a pattern since I feel that's how one does for daily wear, the first is a test, the second is conformation and the third is playtime! Now you know the pattern and don't have to take time to check fit and troubleshoot things so you have more fun in design. And I don't think the white sleeves makes your proportions look wide at all!
I love this dress! I don't think your shoulders look too wide in it, but if it's something that's bothering you I wonder if maybe adding some trim around the armscyes (or just another line of trim further out on the bodice, closer to the armscyes) might help?
As soon as you showed us the sleeves I thought to myself that this seemed like a project that would look really cute with buttons, and then lo and behold, you added buttons! They really add an extra something to the dress that I think is very pretty if subtle. The finished product is so cute and I love the materials you chose!
You look so fabulous in that dress! It has a "secret princess" vibe (think Tangled or Anastasia) to it for me for some reason.
Definitely keep the fit issues in your videos. I have yet gotten my older plus size courage up yet to sew my own clothes. I focus on my super thin daughters clothes and your fit issues and solutions help me figure out how to fit them.
This dress is so pretty! Your fabric choices were great! Your snowy fashion show was really cool! Please make me one! You look amazing in the dress, it made me think of Frozen! I love that movie! Let it Go!!! ❄️❄️❄️ Teresa☆
I also love the sound of gingher or similar shears cutting fabric
It looks absolutely gorgeous! This is my favorite one so far
The fabric choice process is as i interesting than fit issues. Still a great video.
I would absolutely be interested in more gunne sax videos, but moreso if you did a bit of a different design! The last 3 have had the same seam lines and they look super great, but it'd be fun to see you mix it up a bit
Wow, this dress is fabulous, you look great, love seeing it in the snow at the end 😃👍💛
not boring it helps to learn different things every dress is diffent
This is very cute. I love the snowflake fabric.
It's your final project of 2021!
I think it's a beautiful dress, and so pleased you used the sleeve material at the bottom. You'd think by now I'd stop talking to the screen while you're asking questions lol.
Hi Rebecca, this dress looks lovely on you. If you don't use the ribbon sash, a removable belt made of the blue poly taffeta would look wonderful.
Nope! Not a bit boring! Love it!
So pretty, now i want one! Yep i wore these pretty creations first time around!! 🤣
I just can’t with this. It looks so good. I got this blue fabric a while back, inspired by your other gunne sax dresses and spent hour in the store trying to find something that I thought would coordinate. I just can’t seem to see the end game. So I got just the blue fabric and tried making a dress with it and so many things just didn’t work out and now I absolutely hate it and you took the same fabric, and coordinating stuff that I also saw there and it is magic! Sigh. In short: I love your version and this is what I wish mine had turned out like lol
You can always try again! And thank you!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions it is an expensive mistake for me, even with cheap fabric, but she is currently languishing on my dress form until I can figure out a way to make it better.
It is sooo BEAUTIFUL. And it's BLUE!!!!
The finished product looks fabulous on you. I don't think it makes you look wider through the shoulders. It's so blessed adorable on you. Happy New Year, too!
This is my favorite of the gunnysacks dresses it is very pretty
Using a sloper for your patterns isn't boring. It'll allow you to be more creative. The Closet Historian makes all her own patterns (except for her costumes). She's not boring and neither are you!
It turned out so charming..

I was just saying how i want a snowflake dress...
sooo prettyyy, I've been planning my own #wintergunne since #gunnesaxoween, so i will be re-watching these when I finally get ready to sew (i'm stuck slooowwyy working my way thru Italian renaissance... inbetween shifts ~RN~)
You made the right decision with regards to the all the trim and tying-up the sleeves to the main dress as I really Hated all the Materials you are showing to attach the ruffle to the skirt, I really love all three dresses.
I don’t think your videos are boring. Keep up the great work!! 😊👍🏽
