she sounds like a young immortal who's excited about all the stuff she missed before she was born and now wants to catch up on it

[@lindsey6975]

I-of course-had to come rewatch this after the roasting video. 😋

[@alexg6580]

I have no idea what lifestyle you lived to achieve such a lovely way of articulating, but I am deeply envious. Your enunciation and accent is just beautiful to listen to, and you have a beautiful, efficient way with words. If you ever decided to narrate a book, I think you'd be received very well.

[@_theresa_9260]

I’m going to be honest, I know nothing about this type of stuff, and wouldn’t usually care, but I find your videos so relaxing and interesting, I can’t help but want to explore this subject a bit more

[@mirzahakeem6151]

Now I respects Cinderella's effort in making her own dress for a ball.......realistically or not.

[@CertifiedDumbassery]

Pro tip don't listen to the most professional seamstress I've ever seen

[@Colin.Smith.Pianist]

Vintage Bernadette is so different from to today's Moderne Bernadette (i.e. better cinematography)

[@gwendolyn2442]

If Bernadette ever decides she wants a significant other, they need to be the perfect equivalent to Mr Darcy, otherwise they don’t deserve her.

[@LanaFeyah]

I will forever admire your attention to the most minute of details in making the garment and editing the video alike! 💖

[@phoenixgate007]

I honestly prefer the dress sans waist seam. There is has a truly elegant line to the dress being uninterrupted.

[@Annianapenda]

New years resolution for 2020: be more like Bernadette.

I've always loved medieval music. Thank you for putting in there. The combination of sewing and music and the commentary is really soothing, I must say... this video made my anxiety melt away. Thank you.

[@SweetKate1123]

I would adore a podcast of you explaining various historical dress styles and patterns.

[@simoneo6294]

Your videos made me want to learn how to sew

[@Rose-bi2rg]

I love the way you speak! It's so cultured and elegant

[@DoraG99]

Omg when you were finishing off that seam with JUST the perfect amount of thread - more satisfying than slime videos or asmr imo 😂👏🏼😘
