- Watch as I sew a retro pattern, Butterick 6889 (link below). This dress is a nod to the 1950s, and gives off some serious Lucille Ball vibes.
For my fabric, I chose a black and white polka dot printed on Italian cotten stretch. You can find this fabric at Threadymade.com (link below).

Thank you!! Step 23 was driving me crazy!
Glad this helped -- thanks for saying ☺️
Thank you for posting this video. I am jumping back into sewing after a 20+ year hiatus. Picked up this same pattern and was feeling lost. Thanks to your video, I was able to finish the dress 👗
What a wonderful comment -- thank you for taking the time you let me know this video was helpful. Happy Sewing! 🧵 💕
Beautiful vintage dress❤
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent step by step tutorial.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 💜
Wow, that collar and neckline was intense. Love your videos, in case I haven't mentioned. 😍
Haha ... Yes, it was a bit of a tight squeeze to sew before opening up the back slit. McCall's 7948 has a very similar back facing, so I knew it would all work out. 😂
Thanks for the kind comment -- so happy you love the videos. 🌺
What a lovely dress and the silhouette is perfect for this fabric! I keep holding onto some polka dot fabric but now may need to re-think my project, entirely. Thanks for sharing another great project😊
I'm glad you like it, too! When I saw this fabric, I knew a vintage pattern with few seams would be best. Polka dots are happy prints for sure. 😁
It’s soooo lovely!
Thank you❤❤❤
Great presentation
Thank you! 💕
Looks beautiful.😍 😍🥰🥰 Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾for sharing. Have a wonderful and blessed day and stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
Thank you , I have this dress cut out waiting to sew it. I see I will have to make sure all the markings are in place before I do anything else . You did a very good step by step of making this dress Thank you again
Great -- it's a pretty dress and I love the side buttons. :) you'll enjoy it. 💕
I'm almost done. Just the hand work to finish. I love the way this fits. I will be making several of these in different fabrics, mine is in the same green as in the pattern picture.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's the best!! -- when you want to make the same pattern again! 🙌
Enjoy your beautiful new dress!
Thank you. Think I will try this pattern. You make it look easy.
Wonderful. Thank you for letting me know. And thank you also for supporting the channel through membership -- I appreciate you! 💕
I am so glad I found your channel. I have learned so much and am now making the Everyday dress. I was wondering if you could show how to add trim, like lace or ribbon to spice up garments. Thanks for all your efforts and teaching me to sew.
What a lovely message -- thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll be on the lookout for a pattern with optional trim and I'll post it when I do. 🎉
Back in 1950's 3 inch hem was standard, I only stopped doing that a few years ago.
Very interesting -- thank you. It's odd, because the bottom of dress is slightly curved, so you would have to ease in the material for that deep of a hem. 🤕
I adore polkadots! That dress was extra treat for being spotty & somewhat I Love Lucy-ish. It looks fabulous on you 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Thank you Linda! 🥰. Glad you liked the dots. 🖤 🤍
I bought the patterns you made recently! I'm going to watch this one here. I don't do belts because they just roll up on me, but I do like seeing how it looks good on other people.
Nice -- sounds like you have some relaxing sewing time ahead! Party🎉
I wonder if you might make a thinner belt that won't roll, reducing the width of the pattern piece by half.
@@Sew-Happy Mari, I never thought about that. I gave up belts years ago because they always rolled up on me. I might try that.
Làm ơn, cho tôi biết những mẫu này được tải ở đâu? Cảm ơn
Hello -- this is a physical pattern.

I don't believe there is a PDF download available.
I have this dress pattern & was wondering what it would look like made up
That’s great! I really love the side button placket!
I rejected shoulder pads from the begining. LOL
Lol. I hear ya. "Vintage" charm, eh? 😁
Wonderful tutorial. Looking forward to making the dress once I get the fabric. May I ask if you went with the recommend ease of the pattern? I want to make a size 18 for recommend bust 42 and the finished size shows bust 54.5. If it is the correct ease for the look I will make it but if it is best to go down a size or more I would love to know.
Thank you for watching. 💕
I did not make any adjustments and just cut my size as matched my measurements. 🎉 I believe the ease will be just fine, and is complemented by the cinching of the waist belt.
@@Sew-Happythank you for the response. I got my fabric and will work on this dress after finishing my current project.
