    So pretty! There isn't enough 20s content on UA-cam, I feel like most of the vintage community focuses on the 40s/50s, so this was fun to watch.

    DELIGHTED I found your channel this morning. When I owned a home, (sold 4 months ago) my crafting, sewing closet was a treasure cave like yours. So fun and precarious to search. Your grandmothers girdle with stocking brackets, I would have saved too.

    I love the new intro! Seeing you work on your sewing with real-life interruptions is so valuable. Sometimes I feel like I'll never finish anything, but I can how you continue to work through it all and it keeps me going! Thank you for sharing all of the process, not just the good parts 💕

    A 1 hour 1920s dress? Sounds like a project runway challenge for some reason and I tried making a dress in one hour and it was 1920s style but I put the gathers on my actual waist to give me a bit of shape there since I'm wide from front to back and I have a more Edwardian shape since my spine sorta bends like an S-Curve style because of my posture. It actually looks kinda 1950s does 1920s.

    • @GwensShenanigans
      @GwensShenanigans  2 роки тому

      As long as it gives you a fabulous dress that you're happy with, who cares?😊 there could've been some folks who did that back then too for all we know 🤷‍♀️

  • @kathleenmacdonald5511
    @kathleenmacdonald5511 Рік тому

    Can you make that same dress again in a more drapey fabric like some kind of polyester blend that lays flat? I have a lot of vintage polyester fabric that I didn't know what to make with it. This dress would be perfect.

    • @GwensShenanigans
      @GwensShenanigans  Рік тому

      Yes, if I would make it again I'd definitely try a more drapey fabric! I've no great love for polyesther though😅

      Well clearly this one isn't. The term 1-hour dress is used here to indicate the type of dress, the 1-hour dress of the 1920s, named so because you could hypothetically make one 1 an hour.
