Aaaaahhhh this week I successfully drafted a set of bodice blocks and tested them with my first muslin attempt and it worked and THANK YOU for all the info about darts and for shifting my way of thinking about pattern drafting!!! ... the dress is lovely, sorry for the lack of punctuation, thanks again for your work, carry on
@@bellasmith8821 I'm with you. Still trying to get the fit right. But I think it'll be worth the work to have such beautifully fitted clothing! @Cyprienne Zed congratulations! That's a wonderful accomplishment!
@@RockinTheBassGuitar Yeah I think I have a similar problem to Bianca because my bust-waist is 9.5" different so I'll have to have another go at learning how to do a full bust adjustment
This is so beautiful! I really love that you showed how to take a vintage picture and make it in person. I always find that concept so intimating and seeing you do it gives me confidence. You explain all of the trickiness of this particular pattern so well and I can't wait to try and make a dress like this :)
Every time I watch you manipulate a pattern to recreate something from an image, it thrills me. The more of these I watch, the more I'm coming to understand the geometry of them. Thanks for letting me poach your design school learning! I've been sewing since I was a kid, abandoned it for a long time, and more recently come back to it. But for all of my early sewing experience, I never felt adequate to creating my own patterns save the most basic of garments. I can't say how much fun I've been having starting to play around with patterning for myself and tossing out the window the theoretical sizes that never fit my proportions.
I'm a guy who doesn't sew, but let me just say, I adore the way you express yourself - with words, and your clothes. I discovered your channel only recently and I keep coming back just to listen to you explain all those pattern drafting, vintage fashion design and sewing "things" because it's so terribly intriguing - and your style is just overall so very gorgeous. I might just as well subscribe to keep up with your endeavours. Nicely done.
More dart sorcery for my lunch break! Thank you! You've convinced me that I need to finally suck it up and make a set of real blocks for myself. Aside: I have my grandmother's 1947 Singer, which resides in her mother's 1935-1940 cabinet (haven't been able to get a firm date). Great-grandma was a dressmaker. The machine is a freaking tank, but doesn't have reverse. It did come with a ridiculous number of foot attachments, including some my grandmother had labeled "old, old attachments" 😂 I have puzzled out only about half of them.
There's oodles of places to learn about each of those attachments - and surprisingly, even some of the modern feet on the singer website work exactly the same. Don't forget you can "needle down", lift the foot and then 180 your project in order to backtack.
First of all, your eye makeup with your wonderful spider brooch is stunning! Thank you for sharing this - the dress is gorgeous! I feel inspired to try and make a similar dress for myself!
I also love the contrast between the waist fabric and the rayon crepe. Beautiful dress and so inspiring to see that you can take a dress and recreate it through learning pattern making.
I love the way this turned out. I wonder what it would look like if there was just a bit of light boning in the waist 'belt' section, just at the seams? It might create too much bulk, or make the seams _too_ rigid, but I'd be interested to see how adding just a little bit more structure somehow at the waist (interfacing?) could affect the finished appearance.
Thank you! I just think this particular style, in crepe, and all languid like, is supposed to be floopy, not structured. In the 1940's they would probably have worn long line bra's and high waisted girdles to sculpt the silhouette underneath really!
Ah, beautiful! And healing.... while laying down with the flu, this pattern drafting, vintage sewing, exellent craftwomanship was right what I needed. To weak to pick up a single needle, it's nice to watch you over the shoulder while working. And yes......... what a great dress for you!
Butterick patterns were the chicest. I'm not quite ready to move away from patterns, but yo have inadvertently taught how to size up much better and smoother. Thanks.
Gorgeous! Yes, 3 times is usually what it takes anyone to really learn something! I may be more than that some days though 😉. Loved watching how you go from drawing to finished garment--really helps me understand process of going from 2D to 3D & that I really need to make those pattern blocks!!!
I’ve recently finished a bodice block of my own and I’ve been having doubts about starting sewing dresses because I have all these ideas and none of the experience. This dress is a perfect encapsulation of what I would love to wear so it came at a perfect time. Amazing work as always!
As always, perfection! That was my favorite dress from the catalog! You’re proof that “ everything is figureoutable”! Thank you for sharing! Love the brooch❤️
You mentioned liking acid/neon colors in small doses. I could see this waist detail being edged/banded with a strip of color - either appliqued or sewn into the construction. I could see an apple acid green velvet edge with a seersucker fabric dress.
It is mesmerizing to watch you work on the blue table of doom and gloom. I have made 2 skirts for myself now. They turned out great, I am pleased with them. A bodice block. Need to work up more courage first. I learn so much listening to you. Your finished dress is ooh - la - la! Your eye makeup and broach are beautiful! Thank you so for sharing. Don't forget to take time for yourself. ☺👍
Love, love, love this dress! Your sewing techniques and explanations (as well as your sewing machine) remind me so very much of my mom, who studied tailoring when I was a little child (back in the early 1950’s). If I were making this dress for myself, I would consider using gathering in place of the side dart as well, because I am less full-busted, and I’d like that softness. Overall a beautiful, classy dress.
Absolutely stunning! I also love seeing how you use your block to design your own clothes. You make it look very approachable and seeing the process from start to finish is a real help. Your explanation is also very clear and I really appreciate the time you put into your videos. Such a beautiful dress, awesome all round!
Enjoy those videos where you make something. This one did not disappoint. I too was wondering about the construction when you were going through the Butterick catalogue. I always look forward to Thursdays with you on RUclips.
I'm feeling SO inspired watching your drafting videos! you explain things so clearly, I feel like I can finally achieve some of the designs I want! and this dress looks amazing on you. came out fantastic. thanks so much for sharing your process with us.
My realist side knows that I will never do this. However, I find that watching you do it teaches me so much about the structure and geometry of everything. Dresses, of course. Everything else? Yes. Thank you.
Thank you for killing my time during my quarantine here in my country Malaysia! Love all your videos. Your nonsense rumbling is so therapeutic for me in some weird but good way. Hope i will get well soon and back to my sewing room! Cant wait to moving those dart as well! Love from a far. ❤️
I am so grateful for your videos, I learn a lot from you and find the videos very relaxing, I can't sew as much as I would like at the moment so am enjoying living vicariously through you, so thank you 😊
Your description of understitching (on some other video) made that concept actually click for me. It’s weird how different brains work! I appreciate your brain
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I have a fashion design degree after attending 2 schools and about 6 different professors. I can honestly say you have made things SO much clearer! I luv your channel and all your lil qwerks! They undoubtedly make you special! Please offer classes! I will be there!!!
I'll be honest I didn't even really try to follow the more complicated adjustments, but I love how the dress turned out! It looks so effortless yet elegant 😍
This Dress is wonderful and thank you for sharing your process, I have to add the Mockup from the start of the video I am hoping you might develop it into a finished garment there was something that just said wow even in muslin say a blouse with peplum it just looked so Wow on you. Thank you so much for sharing how you work at recreation with your special style and way and Yes the way that works for us and our ability appears to be the "Right" way that message is sorely needed in the sewist community
I wish i had watched this awesomeness yesterday! I made something very similar in a knit fabric yesterday and my goodness it took so much flim flamin to get it right... thank you so much for this video 😍
I've always had trouble getting my seams to line up properly, now you've explained about lining up the stitch line rather than the seam allowance I think I may do better! Thankyou
I marvel at your pattern drafting every video and I always learn something new. Center seam for great points... point taken. Gorgeous dress! You amaze me - you drafting magical being.
If you are still after an original 40s way of doing it, the Haslam drafting system book 10 (fig 18) has a version of the yoke on the front only, as does book 12 (fig 9).
This is my fave of your drafting videos so far! I really liked puzzling out how it went together as you worked, and I know that I'd've been scratching my head for a While wondering how to deal with that waist dart in the middle section! So very cool, and what an amazingly noir-looking gown. Love it!
i love the peek-a-boo back. it looks beautiful on you. i am do not have a vintage style, but watching your channel, i am beginning to change my mind. p.s. i love how many times you say "floopy" in your videos.
I feel you with the purple, I'm currently working on a plum coloured crochet shawl to close that gap in my wardrobe. For some reason it's really obvious since you showed that butterick magazine ;D

Lady, you're a wizard
Convoluted! I've been looking for a word to describe my brain. And now I know why I understand your explanations better then others.

I love creative detective work on a vintage sewing pattern. Sew pretty, i love the top. Keep inspiring.
Thank you!

We didn't see you model it for long enough, beautiful 😍
Ha! Thank you!
Yes she does model her stuff so well too! You need to put this in another video Bianca so we can see it properly!

Our gifted child and eighties does forties free form is golden, and as the children say I am indeed here for it.
The dress came out amazing! Love the green and satin combination and how it makes your waist look extra tiny
Thank you!
This came out so well! I love the contrast between the crepe and the satin. It really highlights the "corset" section. Delightful video as usual.
Thank you Flynn!

You not only explain things so well,your voice is so lovely to hear.The dress is gorgeous
Thank you Maureen!
Butterick patterns were the chicest. I'm not quite ready to move away from patterns, but yo have inadvertently taught how to size up much better and smoother. Thanks.
Watching you slash and spread darts into side darts is mesmerizing, so damn satisfying to watch.
Thank you!

As always, perfection! That was my favorite dress from the catalog! You’re proof that “ everything is figureoutable”! Thank you for sharing! Love the brooch❤️
Thank you Nancy!
I must say....Way to snatch that waist in !!!! This dress looks AMAZING on you!!! Great job!!
Thank you Onesma!
This is such a cool dress design. I love the difference in visual texture between the satin and crepe as well. It looks so interesting
Nailed it! Gorgeous dress. It is very flattering on you. Thank you for sharing.
You mentioned liking acid/neon colors in small doses. I could see this waist detail being edged/banded with a strip of color - either appliqued or sewn into the construction.
I could see an apple acid green velvet edge with a seersucker fabric dress.
My mind must be super convoluted because I have never found pattern making to be more clear than watching your videos. So yes, thank you!
Thank you Julia!!
So beautiful! That dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you, wish I had your talent. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Viviana!
This dress is sensational Bianca! Your personal bodice block fits perfectly, respect!
Thank you Vivienne!
Always giving beautiful tutorials. Thanks.

Thank you Margarita!
One of the most gorgeous things you've made on the channel. Wow ⭐
Thank you Taya!
Slevil, Laughed when I heard that, I love it!
I love that you sew over your pins, it’s makes sense when dealing with slippery fabric and need to line up specific points
I think you make lots of sense. You got me into pattern drafting and dart manipulation!
Thank you!
You are the catalyst of my pattern drafting journey 🥰
That is very attractive and suits you perfectly.
Love, love, love this dress! Your sewing techniques and explanations (as well as your sewing machine) remind me so very much of my mom, who studied tailoring when I was a little child (back in the early 1950’s).

Thank you!
I think that dress has an Adrian of Hollywood vibe to it. Fabulous and feminine!
Thank you!!
This worked out so beautifully!
I too wish I could see more of it and closer. It's hard to appreciate the colour and texture of the fabric.
Your knowledge of the period style is amazing - the eyes! The dress, the way you model it... Great
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning! I also love seeing how you use your block to design your own clothes. You make it look very approachable and seeing the process from start to finish is a real help. Your explanation is also very clear and I really appreciate the time you put into your videos. Such a beautiful dress, awesome all round!
Thank you Angela!
I love the extra floppy piece added to the bodice. Altogether, it's a stunning dress. Brava!
Thank you!
Loving that dress! And also enjoying your journey designing and making it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Charlie!

Your description of understitching (on some other video) made that concept actually click for me. It’s weird how different brains work! I appreciate your brain
As usual GEORGOUS Bianca! I so wish I had the talent to sew like you do
Thank you Patti!
Lovely to see this on a similar body type rather than the elongated no hips fashion croquis drawings. Very pretty results!
Thank you! Yes things always look a little different on me 😂 30's stuff especially, I'm not the "right" 1930's shape lol
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I have a fashion design degree after attending 2 schools and about 6 different professors. I can honestly say you have made things SO much clearer! I luv your channel and all your lil qwerks! They undoubtedly make you special! Please offer classes! I will be there!!!
Thank you Charles!
It seems my brain works almost exactly like yours as you always make perfect sense to me 👌🏻🤷🏼♀️🥰
I'm a stay at home mom with twin toddlers, I totally understand not finding or fumbling with real words! 🤣
I'll be honest I didn't even really try to follow the more complicated adjustments, but I love how the dress turned out! It looks so effortless yet elegant 😍
Thank you Beth! Yeah this one is a drafting doozy 😂
This Dress is wonderful and thank you for sharing your process, I have to add the Mockup from the start of the video I am hoping you might develop it into a finished garment there was something that just said wow even in muslin say a blouse with peplum it just looked so Wow on you.

I've always had trouble getting my seams to line up properly, now you've explained about lining up the stitch line rather than the seam allowance I think I may do better! Thankyou
a lot of labor but a fantastic result! really nice. and luv that your sewing machine says 'made in britian', so vintage!
Thank you Marcco! This model of machine was made in the UK, at a factory in Scotland ❤
Fascinating! Reminded me of a Workroom Social class (out of NY) on slopers and pattern drafting! Loved this!! ❤️❤️
I marvel at your pattern drafting every video and I always learn something new. Center seam for great points... point taken. Gorgeous dress! You amaze me - you drafting magical being.
Thank you!
This was masterfully explained and executed. Bravo!

I love this dress so much!! Fantastic job!
Thank you Rebecca!
Floopy: A technical term meaning a fabric that is a real batch to cut and sew. See day drinking.
I absolutely adore the practical advise you give us during projects. I find your tidbits very helpful, even the ones I don't use.
Thank you Micah!
Wow!!! fits so well. Nonpareil Styling.
Thank you Heather!
Stunning! I love the dress and how it fits you! thank you for all these tutorials, I am learning so much from you!
Thank you!
Wow, that is beautiful. I love it.
Thank you Amelia!
I totally understand your explanations!! So thanks!
What a beautiful fall dress. I could also see that very pattern in a dark green velvet gown. 💖
Thank you Dolores!
You are so professional in your techniques!!!
Thank you!
You explain things so clearly
You have surpassed yourself. Wonderful.
Thank you Mandy!
I feel you with the purple, I'm currently working on a plum coloured crochet shawl to close that gap in my wardrobe. For some reason it's really obvious since you showed that butterick magazine ;D
Right?! Not enough purple out there 💜
I learned so much from this video - thank you!
Thank you Erica!
WOW! That was an extremely challenging design, but you explained it so well! The final product looks stunning on you.
Thank you!
