Hi Stephanie! I just ran across your videos last night! Your videos are a real delight! Great information shared in such a lighthearted fun way! i have subscribed to your channel and look forward to every single video! Gracias!
Stephanie, this was outstanding, as usual! I found myself laughing out loud at several points, and I learned a few new things myself! Thanks so much for your hard work on these. It really shows.
I love this! You channel is my happy place! I know this is an older video, so I'm not sure if you want feedback or if it's still even relevant, but just a small thing if you make more videos like this series! Can you keep the pattern image up for longer while you discuss? I notice myself backing up to look at the videos again after you've discussed the fine details. You notice things in it that I don't on first glance and it's fun to see the pattern again to appreciate the things you point out! Thanks for making this awesome series, I'm enjoying them so much!!
Hay… I’m 73 and my great aunt and grand mother who ruled the family ALWAYS insisted we must wear gloves,have our purses shoes and belts if possible, all matching. My younger sister was even sent to charm school to learn how to become a young lady. I was given up on very early as a “ Tom boy” because I preferred to play in the dirt,not garden play sports( my grand mother and Aunt Lill were horrified my grand father got me a baseball glove to go play in the girls team mom drove me to so I could play. I never was any good but it was fun I could run around in pants and whoop and yell! My true loves were animals and learning to sew on an old Necci Elma machine that was bought for my older sister.for my Christmas present in6th grade I got a little bitty transister radio and boy did it ever change my life.I was so primed and ready for the “ British Invasion” and all those fab styles brought in by the Beatles. I so enjoy your wonderful channel and hope to watch every one of your posts! Keep up the “far out work” and I’ll dream on about sewing something REALLY retro!😽👏🏽😻👍🏽😸🧑🦳your one cool cat!
I think it should be important to mention that the right undergarment (of those times) will help you to get the right silhouette for this vintage fashion. People cannot get the whole picture when they forget the invisible bodyshaping garments.
I’m cracking up at the Casablanca intro because he has a line that says, “I’ll always remember you in that blue dress” and it’s a b&w film so how would we know?😂😂😂
Hi Stephanie I’m new and love your videos ❤ can you tell me where to find the pattern for the dress 👗 you are wearing in this video…? It’s so beautiful 💕 I love how the fabric comes over the shoulders and looks so comfortable and those sleeves are so cute with the fancy splits! I was thinking I could make my wedding dress like that this❤️ please let me know 💕🤞🏼🥰
Great informative video on the war years. I really loved that you did a variety of pattern brands! If you make another 40s vid pls include 1 mens pattern. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I had originally pulled two men’s patterns for this video but they turn out to be from 46 and 49. So they will be showcased in the next one.
Dear Stephanie: I LOVE THIS VIDEO! And I have a question about shirtwaist dresses! My Simplicity Sewing Book (1970, well-worn and well-loved) has a shirtdress, buttons only to the waist, but it also has a side placket! And I can't fathom how you'd get into a shirtwaist dress without one, after all, it's not an elastic waist! If you have examined these patterns, did they have side plackets? If not, what did they have so you could get the skirt on over your hips? --Teresa
Some have a side placket, and some would have it a hidden front placket at the bottom of the buttons CF and then the placket would close with snaps or hooks and eyes.

As a displaced Floridian, I loved the mention of Hancock Fabric. 👍
Stephanie, this was outstanding, as usual! I found myself laughing out loud at several points, and I learned a few new things myself! Thanks so much for your hard work on these. It really shows.
Thank you so much! I do try to ensure I research enough to make sense. I’m glad it is working. 😅

So many goodies! Great series!
Thank you so much! It really is hard to choose. :)
After watching this, I spent some time at Stephanie's shop. Most of these 40s era patterns are readily adaptable as modern everyday wear.
Thank you so much! They really are quite adaptable.

Thank you for the vintage pattern info...very enjoyable!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I am doing an entire series through the 1970's.

Love these instalments!
Thank you so much!
Love this! Hooray!!!
Thank you! I do enjoy doing them. :)

I did not realize there were so many strict ration rules about garments. Can you imagine trying to do that today????
I was 2nd hand shopping and found several .15c patterns. Some of the old patterns I found had the name "Advance" ?
Oh yeah, advance is a great company and 15 cents is 40's! Those would be a great find.

Great video. I adore the dress your wearing. Which pattern is this?
It is Trashy Diva’s Dogwood print one the Alexa cut.
❤👋👍🏻
