Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean! And I’ve had embarrassing moments with wrap-around dresses with no petticoats on breezy days!Petticoats and slips are underrated these days. I imagine that you must be very glamorous in your everyday circle skirts. Wearing petticoats that aren’t too full means that 50s circle skirts look natural and not like we’re ’in costume’ I think. Thank you very much for watching and I’m always so pleased to know there are other vintage fashion enthusiasts out there! xxx

@@Samanthalovestosew Yes I agree, slips and petticoats are underrated. I always wear a slip or petticoat under my skirts and dresses. I think its nice to wear full 50s style skirts and A line dresses, its so feminine and very comfy to wear. Yes, wind can be a issue with those full circle skirts and dresses and can be a handful to hold down when a gust of wind gets under them.

@ We’ll just imagine that we look like Marilyn Monroe when it happens!

I’m so pleased to know you enjoyed the video and seeing everyone’s creativity. Many hours went into the making of these costumes so it’s wonderful that they get an audience! Thank you!

Hi Laura! It was a wonderful day (though it took me another day to recover, it turns out that going out and enjoying oneself is exhausting!!) The outfits were wonderful to see. Thank you so much for watching 💗

I loved your spiders’ web costume and seeing the inspiration for it was fascinating. Looking forward to seeing you again at future events! 🧡

@ thank you so much, and likewise!!!

They are fabulous humans aren’t they?! So skilful and imaginative 💗 I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for watching 🥰

Rowan you do find the best emojis 😆 This video was a bit of an epic to make to be honest! But I was so impressed and amazed by all the thought and creativity that went into making these fabulous costumes. And those people that live their everyday lives in Victorian clothes (there was a bit of adjusting of corsets that were starting to get a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day!!) I so agree with you about enthusiasts - I also love people with passions/obsessions! Thank you for your encouragement, I might go on to tackle filming and editing a Victorian costumed Christmas, which is coming up! ❤️😘x

@@Samanthalovestosew It looks like you all such a good time. Ooh a Victorian Christmas a? Our Lady of Banner would approve!! 🌚

@ A friend on the walk pointed out her flat in King’s Cross - part of a beautiful gothic Victorian building, all tall windows and turrets! A real artist’s residence in the heart of London (ie, not cheap 😆)! xx

@@Samanthalovestosew Wow! 💫😃💫Well, we'd expect nothing less for St Bernadette, the patron Saint of fancy finery! 😄

It sounds like we have the same lifestyle Jody! I’m thinking we need to bring back the wrap around house coats or overalls from the 1930s/40s and 50s in easily laundered cotton or brushed cotton, then have warm dog walking clothes that cover but don’t have hems trailing in the mud! I’m glad it’s not just me seeing the need for such garments! Thank you too for appreciating everyone’s costumes. People looked so splendid on the day it was hard to take it all in. Finding out how they’d created their costumes and the inspiration behind them made them all more individual for me. Thanks so much for all your support ❤️

@@Samanthalovestosew yes, I really need some housecoats for at home. I'm fed up of wearing old t-shirts all the time! I desperately need some more vintage inspired house clothes. Also really need warm vintage inspired dog walking clothes for that matter!

It would’ve been wonderful to meet you if you could have joined us! Yes, there’s something rather fascinating and mysterious about Victorian mourning clothes. Thank you very much for watching again! ❤️

@ it would’ve been wonderful to meet you as well! I might consider seeing if I can next year haha. Thank you for posting. You always have lovely posts ✨✨

Oh I’m so pleased that you loved it! While it was a lot to put together I’m so glad I did because I enjoyed knowing more about people’s costumes and their inspiration for them too! Thank you so much for watching and encouraging 💗🌸xxxxx

Ah you know me so well Ian! The editing took days and there were moments of overwhelm (even thoughts of giving up 😆) but I’m so pleased I didn’t as the glorious costumes everyone created needed to be seen! Back when I was a student late 30s dresses sold in secondhand stores for less than the new dresses I couldn’t afford, and I loved them more and they fitted me better anyway. I still have them, they’re my old friends! Thank you for watching (and understanding me!) 🥰

Thank you very much for watching and supporting - many hours would have gone into the creation of these costumes and it’s lovely that people have an audience for them 💗💗

I didn’t realise till I asked people about their costumes how much variety of inspiration, sewing and styling there would be. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for watching! 💗

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback, which is always really helpful. There’s an event coming soon featuring late Victorian Christmas costumes so I shall attempt some more film making! 💗

Ah, I love that you are thinking of using the dolls in your dolls house too! I’m afraid I haven’t got anything more on my channel at the moment but, in that I have about 10 vintage dolls houses and numerous half dolls, there will be more to come! You’ve actually reminded me. I would like to create miniature costumes for my half dolls with scraps of vintage fabrics from my dresses 💗

@@WhimsandInconsistencies Thank you very much (and what a beautiful costume you sewed … and the hat too!) 💗

Thank you for shepherding me to and fro and helping me with everyone’s names! Your deep red dress really stands out. I especially love the bit at the end of the video when you bow to that surprised looking couple! While the editing was a bit of a marathon it really added something for me too to know the details of everybody’s costumes - so much thought, imagination and skill went into their creation. Definitely a day to remember! ❤️🥰😘

I don’t remember seeing that couple and curtsying to them! Thank goodness for phone cameras, now I can actually recall all the good times I’ve had!

@ It was such a classic moment! My favourite in the video! ❤️

The Victorian garments you sew are stunning and I love that you wear them every day!

I was very taken with the Victorian prison matron concept. So original and you’ve made it your own! xxx

Thank you very much Lenore ❤️ What was funny was that there were a lot of dog walkers about and it was the dogs that looked especially startled by us! I don’t think dogs see that well so it must have been our silhouettes that they found so surprising! There were a lot of talented sewists and stylists on the costumed walk, and everyone so friendly too 🍂💗🍂xx

Thank you very much Arietta ❤️ It’s true, I met some very talented people and saw so many amazing costumes. It’s wonderful that there are people who keep alive vintage and historical sewing skills and patterns, and the beautiful fashions of the past ❤️🥰🥰

So kind of you and I’m very glad that you enjoyed it ❤️🥰🥰

I’m thrilled that you were happy to be in the video and am so pleased that you like it! And thank you very much ❤️x

Thank you very much ❤️ It did take a while to edit 😄 so it’s lovely to have my work appreciated, thank you x

Thank you so much … I’m living in my knitwear and brooches now it suddenly turned so chilly. I do have some more vintage knitwear to show off actually (knitted by my mother and embroidered by me) so that will be coming soon. How wonderful that you’re able to knit from vintage patterns ( no matter what the pace! … My sewing is slow too!)

Oh it would have been lovely if you were there with us!! ❤️🤗 Thank you for watching and joining us in spirit! 🥰

Thank you very much Bella! I’m not sure all my kitchen pots and pans have fully recovered from the dyeing episode but I’m not much of a cook anyway!

Thank you very much Linda! I know anything you create will be beautiful so very much looking forward to seeing your blouse with intriguing 30s collar! 💗xx

Thank you so much Katie 🧡 I think I will keep adding to the embroidery, which is my favourite part of the process! Thank you for all your support since I started 🍂🧡🍂

Thank you very much! 💗 Yes, a pretty sleeve! We don’t see those often in today’s fashion. I love them too. I know, the seam pop … I finally learned my lesson that cotton reels bought at car boot fairs might not be such a bargain after all! 😂

ha ha, yes, the high hat! 😁 I’m so pleased you like the fabric too. I’m always on the look out for genuine vintage fabrics and like to match the era of the sewing pattern to that of the fabric so it’s always wonderful when this is noticed and appreciated! And that I scouted out the pretty church gardens. Thank you for your encouragement 🥰

Oh thank you very much Leslie! I actually had so many dyed napkins left over I might make a skirt too 🍂🧡🍂

Oh you’re so kind to say all this and have given such cheer to my Saturday evening. It’s lovely to have my ideas and efforts appreciated! 🥰 The pattern was a sea of perforations and the fabric slippy - I’m pleased someone noticed! And I drove across London to reach Eltham Palace so I’m thrilled you enjoyed that setting too. Wonderful to know you’ve subscribed! Thank you very much ❤️

Thank you so much Ian 🥰 It takes a strangely long time to create a 10 second short so thank you for noticing!

Thank you very much Arietta! I had so many dyed napkins left over from my £3 lot, enough to make a patchwork skirt or trousers I think! 🍂🧡🍂

Janine told me she hid her UA-cam channel sadly. She’s a commercial airline pilot now. Though she’s very much still sewing she doesn’t have the time for video editing. She’s very much missed!

@@Samanthalovestosew oh that's too bad, but congrats to her on her airline career!!

Oh you’re very welcome and thank you very much for watching and encouraging me!

Now there’s an idea! And thank you so much for your encouragement!

Yes, Nutmeg the hedgehog! 🦔 The nightie is really cosy - next I’m making 1940s pyjamas! Thank you for all your support and encouragement, it really is a morale boost.

Thank you very much - there are construction techniques that come up regularly in vintage sewing that we don’t see today!

I can’t resist vintage clothes with interesting details because there’s so much to learn from them. I’m so pleased to find someone else sharing my enthusiasm!

I’m glad you love the dress and I was just looking at the silk flowers this week thinking I must plan makes to go with them!

Thank you very much, I’m really thrilled that you appreciate the whole creative process of making the apron. My mum volunteers in a charity/thrift store so I’m very aware of how much extra stuff there is, more than can ever be sold on, and vintage linens are such high quality too! A patchwork owl apron sounds wonderful - very decorative! 🦉🧡🍂

Oh thank you so much! 🧡🍂

Ah, I go to a few but wasn’t sure if people enjoyed this type of video - now I feel encouraged. Thank you! 😁

Yes, the conversation was a bit difficult to hear, but discovering what's out there was fun content. Thx. 😊

@ Ah, I’m going to an event tomorrow so you’ve reminded me to take my mic (though it can scare people 😆)

Thank you very much Lizzie 🍂🧡🍂🎃🍂

Hi Laura! Thank you very much 🧡 I really enjoy appliqué and embroidery. I nearly filmed the dyeing process but every surface in the kitchen was covered with pots and saucepans of dyeing napkins! It was too much mayhem already. I’m at the crinoline with wire cutters and duct tape now to see if I can shrink it down to a more manageable size! 🍂🦉🧡🍂

Thank you so much, it was a fun project! Hope all well with you xx

@@Samanthalovestosew life is a little chaotic but love it, did you get the patterns?xx

@ I did! I’m so sorry I meant to write and thank you the moment I finally got the apron video out! So kind of you and I have the perfect fabric for one of them already. I do enjoy 60s style xx

Thank you very much Ian. I’m trying to comfort two terrified dogs because of the fireworks at the moment. I hope your cats are alright. Thank you also for remembering the pumpkin dress, I realise I’ve been doing UA-cam for quite a while now and have had your kind support from the start.
