For Vogue 2050 with that skirt with the weird pulling thin:, The Closet historian did a Alexander McQueen inspired dress design with a half pencil skirt, half a-line with a handkerchief hem and found that it pulled too. There's more ease on one side so it skews things. She ended up with a pencil skirt underlayer on the a-line half to correct it. I suspect that is what is happening here too.
Your comment about couture for kids gave me a chuckle. I'm a meh sewist and no matter what, my kids' clothes looked homemade. That was the 70's & 80's. The only thing I found for occasions when I wanted my kids to look more polished, was to blow the budget on Vogue patterns. Vogue details lifted my meh skills to a better place, albeit still not couture. 😁
For where you got confused with underlining, it's the same as if you were working with a sheer but with an opaque fabric it is usually about structure, it creates an amazing finish and if you have boning it can help hide the lines the bones create. It's used more in corture but it's creeping into everyday stuff too. I'm sure Gertie has an amazing video on it, possibly in her Lamour sew a long.
52:28 V2062. Yes, finally the Hostess Suit. Lucile Ball wore one. Rosalind Russell wore a Fabulous confection of brocade, silk and embroidery that was to die for in “Auntie Mame”. The short one was worn by Grace Kelly as a beach cover up with a black swimsuit, black pants and white linen skirt, and an enormous hat. They looked like a million bucks. Very good collection, saw several patterns I’m going to buy. 😃
Hai Lindsey! I lost my sewjo because I got a couple new hobbies that take up all my time - but im going to try to be super productive so I can have sewing in my life again. Just now getting caught up on your fabulous videos.❤❤❤❤
Vogue 2060 is a new release. It is a different pattern from Vogue 2000 and 2040. It was all the rage in the 1970s because you could wear it backwards or forward. Must be constructed out of a knit fabric. A nice pattern. Also, the DVF patterns are now available at Joanns (the newer patterns that include 2060 have not yet been released but will be in the next few weeks).
OH NO! FALL ALREADY!! It feels like I haven't even had any Summer YET. So many lovely options, but too formal for my lifestyle. And no lie, I am absolutely sure I wore a version of that strapless purple B/M dress with the bow type front detail to my prom in an emerald green back in the day. As a side note: I do like Mimi G's patterns generally, but I wonder if there is a different block used for her? I haven't sewn any of her patterns yet but I am so tempted.
I think the v2061 lace and tulle dress is probably transparent because women wore a lot of foundation garments. They had petticoats and girdles, etc. Not comfortable, but beautiful. 😅
And they wore long-line bras even with casual dresses so they never had back bulges. But then they started the burn your bra movement and here we are, lol.
i always enjoy your big 4 pattern reviews, you have an eye that really helps. i also wanted to note, as i had complained about this previously, that i really appreciate you taking out the intro music entirely, as it was always just so loud compared to the rest of the video. overdue comment on my end, but it did not go unnoticed
Lots of awesome lady looks here. So much awesomeness. I wonder if that cropped double breasted jacket would go with those trench skirts? I love it paired with the barrel pants and made in the same fabric. Vogue is cooking with gas in this collection!
Maybe underling for V2046 since boucle and the others can be rather loosely woven and fitted bodice needs structure? Maybe? Barrell leg V2051 is not listed for triangle body type.😢
OMG it seems to me like triangles would look great in barrel leg pants! Nipped in waist with a broad shouldered physique is super 80's editorial. I say give it a try, triangular ladies!
@@colleengibney4771 oh I didn’t realize- I own v2000 and inadvertently bought knit fabric. I like that the 2040 is just for knits, and it also looks a little easier
I would never ever speak negatively about anything you made. I only do it here because these people are professionals and I hold them to a higher standard.
Aw, Lindsey is only judging the pattern drafting. If there's a fit issue, she discusses it so we can learn to avoid it in our own sewing. Don't be scared - the sewing community is super cool and appreciates everyone making their own clothes no matter how imperfect❤❤❤
The last pattern is all a day outfit. Lucille Ball wore those outfits on the Lucy show.
I think someone should make the green bow creation and wear it to target. It is super extra!

Yes! Boucle and tweed can be very loosely woven and need an underlining.
Ahh yes. Underlining for structure. Duh. Brain fart! Thanks ladies!
Those big shoulder bows are 100% showing up on next season of the Great British Sewing Bee. Esme loves a giant bow.
Some very pretty dresses. And bows galore! 🎉

Ha I also commented about Lucille Ball wearing the outfit in the last pattern.
Wonderful review as always. I love the short jacket V2053 pattern.

Nooo! Come back to us! Sewing misses you!!
V2043 - Maybe "underlined" because one of the recommended fabrics is tweed, which esp cut on bias may stretch out a bit, loose structure?

Trueee!

i really like V2044, I am just wondering how the bias band in the neck work.. how do they get attached in the middle...and very nice video!! :)
Wait…Charlotte has a frocktails? I’m in Concord!
I do love your videos and pattern choices. You disagree with things they do that I love usually but.....
I adore the dress with the three bows on the front, but I have nowhere to wear it. The purple strapless dress is SO 1985 prom, but it's pretty.
I like the double breasted skirts if they have a straight hem. I am not a big fan of asymmetry unless it’s on the Big Bang theory

I think that would be adorable!!

Barrell leg V2051 is not listed for triangle body type.😢
That's what I noticed too.

The cape looks like the one in the movie "The devil wears prada"
With capes like that you don't drive 😅 you need a chauffeur 😂 hahahah jk jk 🎉 I love these videos! ❤ thank you.
I had that cape in 1968. It is great until you try to drive!
V2000 dvf wrap dress pattern is available retail - Joann etc - and I was very interested in hearing your take on- maybe even a sew along
The one they are showing now is v2060 without the collar. Would love to watch a video of all three DVF (re-released?) patterns.
@@colleengibney4771 oh I didn’t realize- I own v2000 and inadvertently bought knit fabric. I like that the 2040 is just for knits, and it also looks a little easier
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSD
I feel like I do a pretty good job, but I would never want you to see my creations. The detail you point out as ill fitting would make me scared!

This looks like something Cressida from Bridgerton would ware to a modern-day soiree. Sowers.
