- Hi friends! I am so happy to have participated in this challenge hosted by@StephanieCanada who was kind enough to share her traced version of Butterick 6015! Even though I started later in the day than I wanted, my completed time was 2 hours and 26 minutes! What a whirlwind! I can’t wait to make a million more of these dresses.
You can find Stephanie on Instagram as @backroomfinds or Tik Tok as @likethenorthcountry
Sorcial shoutout to @SewingSilly for the cleaned up version of the pattern.
Disclaimer, I did take the reveal and wrap up footage a couple days after finishing the dress. It was snowing when I finished and since this is a Summer dress I noped right out of that one. But with Michigan weather being the way it is I only had to wait two days for the weather to hit the 70s. 🤷🏻♀️ Aesthetic footage is worth the wait and unpredictability of Mother Nature when the alternative is the unattractive task lighting in my sewing room😂

Hi. I’m not a sewer, but this came up on TH-cam and I was curious what a “walkaway dress” would be. You have such an engaging personality, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole video. You are obviously very talented and the dress looks amazing on you.
Thank you so much! This was such a sweet comment. Absolutely made my day!
Same here! I’m jealous at your talent. I actually found the pattern on ETSY for 17.00, which I thought was an okay price. What I am wondering, is it one piece? What I mean, do you step into it, then pull the top over your head to secure in front? Thanks for the demo. Love it!
@@Bella-gj6wc It's like a bib front apron, except that instead of tying it in the back there are these extra sections that come around your body and then button in the front!
Same Here.
Same 😀👍
I think you did a fine job, and yes with some torso and shoulder adjustments it will fit you nicely. The extra waist buttons will make it more stable, this dress was designed for someone with a 1950s wasp waist, don't forget, lol! I am glad you mentioned that it looks best with a petticoat. I watch channels where people express disappointment in how these vintage garments look when sewn up, and complain that they are limp or frumpy, etc...I think modern people are missing something here. Namely, to get a true vintage look you need correct undergarments to act as a foundation. My grandmother was always going on about proper "foundational layers" such as bras, slips and girdles. It's hard for us to believe now, but even slender women wore girdles back then, to nip in the waist and create the desired 1950s silhouette. Without these ingredients the garment will not wear as expected. It was also much more common back then to starch and iron cotton fabric, which gave it more body. I enjoyed watching you create your own version of the Walk Away Dress.
@@RA82828 I completely agree with everything in the original comment. I did not think anything came through as polite negativity.
@@susanrussell8195I totally agree! I found the first comment honest and wholesome. She only agreed with the shoulder comment, which in my opinion was completely honest and needed. The shoulders were too long and while the channel stated she did it thinking she needed to but, found it to be a mistake. We can all agree the dress looks nice on her but, would look lovely more tailored to her shoulders!
I was thinking our under garments are so different now.
Great post and delightfully thorough! So interesting to have this amount of information to ponder as we watch our favorite channel! I’m remembering the many layers Mom and my gramma’s wore under their dresses…!
What is a wasp waist? Do you mean women are fatter now?
I did a double take when I saw this as a video on UTube! Years ago my mother was quite the accomplished seamstress who was self taught. She made a number of pieces of her wardrobe. She actually made this dress for herself back then. To give you some perspective, I believe that was in the 50’s. I am now 75!
Wow! Thank you for sharing! That’s one of the things I love about sewing from vintage patterns, is wondering about the many versions of the same dress that have come before!
At 72 , I too have wonderful memories of my mother's beautiful sewing ! While we did not need to make our clothing to save money , we did it to be unique , creative & have our own special looks . From formals to swimwear , we loved choosing patterns & fabrics ! I showed horses & just like my dresses , you didn't want to have the same outfit as anyone else . Sewing is a lifelong skill & enjoy learning more . 💗
I’m 73 and I remember my mom had the same
My mom did, too!
Oh my God! My mom used to wear those dresses around the house she was continually sewing things from the patterns and I remember her wearing those dresses like in the afternoons or whatever after she had done her chores she said it was a wonderful way to relax and they were comfortable and easy to make. She sewed me a sun dress with yellow daisy pattern on it.
What sweet memories!
A bed sheet you said! Trim it in red binding you said! Make it in less than 3 hours you said!
Congrats on beating the clock, and making an absolutely smashing walk away dress!
Loved your enthusiasm and the dress looked so nice on you! ❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
You can use 2 different colour fabrics for front and back for totally new look. Red satin front and black velvet for back would be a holiday glam look. Making it reversible you could use 2 lightweight fabrics.
Yes! I can’t wait to make a more dressy version and I think two colors would be lovely!
Fantastic idea!
When I was a kid fabric stores were very common. This was in the 1950. They had drawers and drawers of patterns and huge catalogue books to look thru to find the perfect "thing". Almost everyone sewed.
I started sewing in the early 60's and remember going through those pattern books and trying new patterns. They were so cheap then, not like now! I've made hundreds of outfits over the years and still sew now and then. One of the skills I am so grateful to have.
My mom could park me on those stools in front of the books, and I'd read them while she got the things she needed.
Last time I was at JoAnn Fabric was right before a season change (when they release new fabrics and new patterns). They usually have fully stocked drawers of patterns, but it was slim pickins right before the spring/summer patterns were released.
Side note: I really was disappointed in the new pattern releases this season, they’re all so mid. Even Vogue was a letdown, and I usually like their pattern designs and fit, even if it’s not a design I’d wear.
I have this pattern and made the dress in a couple hours for a themed party for 40s/50s attire. It does take a huge amount of material and binding. But it's so cool to put on and go. Literally finished sewing, did make-up and hair and went.
Yes! Such a fun make! I feel like I saved a lot of money making my own bias tape and I can’t wait to make it again!
I made that dress too. The pattern was from my mother's collection, authentic vintage!
Amazing! A great pattern to have!
Beautiful! As a beginning seamstress I’m impressed with you finishing in less than 3hrs 😅😅 I always wondered what the pattern would look like in the cover art fabric and it’s so cute!
I’ve made this dress so many times. I’ve made it as a formal dress and as as a casual.
I already know I’ll be making more! It seems so versatile!
Where did you get your pattern
@@bonnieriecke5199 I actually used the new version but I altered it to fit.
How can I get an actual real pattern?
@@joyanne440 The new release of this pattern is in most stores that sell patterns. I used the new release to make this for my daughter. I didn’t find it difficult to follow. It will more than likely need to be altered but that is true of most patterns unless you have the perfect ‘model’ proportions.
Lovely dress - well done...... To your point about petticoats : underskirts, slips, petticoats, whatever you want to call them will **almost always** improve the way your dress/skirt hangs/falls. Especially those made in a "silkier" fabric, such as polyester/nylon/silk. (Cotton slips are lovely, but can create surface friction between the slip and your dress/skirt, thus impeding the flow/hang of your garment). xxx💖💖💖
I can't sew and I don't know why this ended up in my suggestions but you are adorable, your dress is lovely, and you did a great job making this video. It was very cool how you set the video up outside and all the angles you used to make the "reveal". Very nice work!
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback a lot! I’ve been working on making my footage more enjoyable with the limited equipment that I have. It’s nice to know it’s getting better!
Same - idk why it ended up in my feed but cute dress.
That's a cute dress 👗
It's got a Dorothy's Wizard of Oz kinda look to it 😍
Thank you! I thought so, too! I may use it for a Halloween costume at some point😂
I love how happy you were when you finished the dress. It's probably one of the best dresses I've seen made in this challenge. Well done! ❤
Thank you!!! I got very lucky with having all of the materials in my stash already and they happened to work out so well!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video too! When you hit your foot on the chair I literally spit my coffee out on my screen!!! Thank you ,thank you, thank you, for not editing that out. It's something that would happen to me and I needed to giggle uncontrollably, been sick a few days and you made my morning. Loved the dress on you too,great job! I'm gonna get more coffee.
Thank you! I would love to be one of those ~aesthetic~ seamstresses, but that’s just not the reality😂 I hope you feel better soon!
Well this was fun, loved that you sew on a Pfaff, I loved it long, what a great dress for the garden. Thank you.
Love how you matched the envelope! I’m impressed how fast everyone is with this challenge, it took me over 5 hours to finish mine!! 😅
Thank you! The speed of my machine definitely helped. If I had to use a different machine I would be a lot slower.
Same here.. It was almost an hour just to get everything cut and pinned for me.
The dress looks absolutely beautiful ☺️
Hey, wow, I actually made that dress 13 years ago when I first started sewing! It was probably one of my most-looked-forward-to patterns, because my whole reason for wanting to learn to sew was to make retro dresses. 😍 On mine I did an aqua fabric with tiny brown dots for the front and a solid dark brown for the wrap-around. I felt soooo legit whenever I wore it (with a crinoline underneath) that it felt more like a costume, so I wasn't confident enough to wear it often. 🙈😅
That sounds lovely! I hope you have the confidence to wear it now!
My mother can sew ANYTHING. I on the other hand? Not so much. I wish I had this talent! I remember going to the fabric store with my mom to pick out fabrics and Butterick and Simplicity patterns. She sewed many of my clothes and even a costume or two! I'm so glad you have this talent and can enjoy it and share it with us. A lovely video by a lovely lady. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! You as well! I learned a lot of the basics from TH-cam myself, so if you want to learn there’s resources out there!
@@KaityBower I shared your video with my mom and will see her in the near future and ask her what she thought. I'm sure she'll enjoy it!
I loved your excitement for this, and it looked great on you. Your cat is super adorable too 😍
Thank you!!!
How dazzling, the execution and finished product! 👍😍🏆
This was a delightful video! It’s amazing you could make it in 2 hrs, 26 minutes! You look so nice in it! Great job!
I love Stephanie, she always gives me a good giggle
This is so amazing! I've always loved this pattern, but was always intimidated to sew it. The dress is gorgeous on you!
Thank you! It’s definitely manageable! You should try it!
Oh my gosh, I’ve watched a bunch of different videos of the walk away dress challenge, and this one is by far my favorite!! Well done!
It’s beautiful. I love your color choices. My favorite so far. I can’t stop watching these walkaway dress videos.
I love Stephanie Canada! Love her vibe. Love that she’s introduced me to such amazing people as yourself who don’t have the following they/you definitely deserve!
Such a wonderful design !!❤
You are a complete doll! I am now a follower! Keep up the good work, you are a natural on camera too.😊
Thank you so much! That means a lot! I second guess myself a lot so I really appreciate that!
I love it too. Very flattering. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And kitty is super cute 💖
Thank you!
Amazing. Just finished your video. I love your version!
Wow!! I loved your creative amazing! You make sewing totally fun!!!
Thank you!
Very very cute! And looks fantastic on you. Great job!
Thank you!
That dress is sooo flattering ! LOVE !
Thank you!
What a pretty dress and well done
I first saw this dress made on the Great British Sewing Bee.
It’s so classy to wear dresses again
Take care ❤️🇨🇦
The dress is really adorable!! It looks so sweet on you!!
I really enjoyed your video! I've been sewing for almost 60 years and this reminded me of all the patterns I've bought over that time. Most of them have been discarded and I wish I had thought to save them. They would have been a great way to remember all the different events of my life. The very first dress I made was a maternity dress. Sewing has given me so much pleasure and I still make things like curtains, etc. Thanks for the memories!
Just beautiful!!!
What a beautiful, simple looking dress. Looks so comfortable and classic.
That dress is so cute. I never thought of using sheets for fabric! Love it!
Thank you! I love using sheets! A great cheap alternative when a lightweight cotton is a good fabric choice and you need lots of it!
I love the dress on you, what a cute design, love the pattern. 👏❤️🌷
What an adorable dress! It’s beautiful….
Your excitement about the finished dress is so adorable! It turned out BEAUTIFUL ❤
Thank you!
Great build! I can see why people love that pattern, it's super-cute, and you could do so many things to change it up!
Agreed! I already have plans for many more!
I love the way you did the buttons. They look so much better that way. And I agree 5 might be better. I would love to watch a tutorial on just how you folded it as you did it quite fast and off camera.
Thank you! That’s a wonderful idea! I will try and get that out soon!
I love that dress! My mother loved to sew, thanks for bringing back some great memories of her! Great job!
Thank you!
Wonderful choice! I made this, reversible, as evening/party wear. It is such a fabulous pattern! I love your version of it. It is lovely.
Thank you! Reversible is genius! I may have to try that sometime!
You’re dress turned out so well! It looks just like the art!
Nice job! My mother did a lot of sewing when we were growing up. She made dresses for me , my sister, and herself. Brings back memories. It's hard to believe that there are young people doing this today. Pretty awesome!
I love this pattern, it is so cute and looks wonderful on you. You fabric choices are perfect too love the red trim.
Thank you!
Super cute! You could make all sorts of pretty dresses with that pattern!
Thank you! Agreed. I think it will become a closet staple.
I didn't know what kind of a dress this would b....SOOOO CUTE....I LOVE vintage styles...so classy! U have such a cute personality....perfect for ur sewing channel!!!
I cant believe it. and it looks so NICE!!!!!
So lovely! I have never sewed, but my mother made ALL of my clothing until I went to junior high, including coats. We were always at the fabric store- such wonderful memories!!
I love it ! ...you look great in it ..nice job! I saw this pattern on Amazon will now order it...
I love this dress. You did a great job sewing it. Nice job.❤
Thank you!
I love seeing young women sewing!
What a fantastic job you - so satisfying to see the result ❤
Thank you!
I Love your challenge of the Walkaway dress! YAY!
Thank you! I’m very thankful to Stephanie for hosting!
Your video caught my attention because I bought this pattern years ago and made the dress. Exact fabric as on the cover; spent a lot of money on it. It looked like something out of an I Love Lucy episode with the model (me) being Lucy. It was horrific. I was truly sad it didn’t fit well. You did awesome; great job!
Thank you! It is a lot of fabric! I’m so lucky I got this fabric for free. I hope you’re able to revisit the dress and make the fit work for you!
I love how yours turned out!! It is SO CUTE!
THANK YOU!!! And thank you so much for hosting the challenge and sharing the pattern! It was an absolute blast and I can’t wait to make more! It’ll definitely become a staple pattern for me!
Loved it. You did an amazing job. I want one now.
Such a flattering style!❤
Agreed!
You did a beautiful job on the dress and it looks fabulous on you!
Thank you!
Very nice!! I can't believe the time you made it in! Amazing.
Thank you!
Your dress turned out sooo cute! Good job!
Thank you!
It is gorgeous!
Loved watching this. I absolutely love vintage clothing styles. Thanks
Very well done, I'm feeling like I maybe, possibly, might give it a go in the future sometime as well , it looks absolutely lovely n you well done x
Turned out really cute. Thanks for sharing!
It’s beautiful. Very nice.You look great in it!
Wow it turned out amazing! I was hesitant to tey this challenge but now I’m actually considering it.
Thank you! You should! It was an absolute joy!
Ms. Stephanie Canada is wonderful. I've been really hesitant of trying to do a speed-run with this pattern just because I have so many alterations I'd have to make. But now I'm severely tempted. It came out so lovely. Well done.

Thank you! I’m really glad I did the alterations one day and the actual sewing a different day, but other than that I’m very pleased! The pattern pieces aren’t super complicated so slash and spread worked really well. Let me know if you end up making it! I would love to see!
I made this dress also when they republished the pattern. It is SO AWESOME! Great job!
Oh my gosh…….That dress is adorable!!!
I love this! I haven't sewn in years and now I want to sew!
I love that dress! You did great!
Thank you!
Looks great! Great job.👍🏻
Yours is the best walkway dress I have seen so far! Very nice!
Thank you very much!
Great job! Really nice presentation and you look so cute in the dress!
Thank you!
Just found you, and you are so adorable! I loved this video and your dress looks fabulous!
Thank you so much! 💖
❤❤❤❤fabulous dress! You look amazing!
I love it too!! Nice work. Your modeling in the field was lovely as well. I'd like to make one in a buttery color with brown trim.
Thank you! That sounds absolutely lovely!
You are so talented. That dress suits you so well. It looks so good on you. I wish I could sew like you.
Thank you! I learned a lot when I first started sewing from TH-cam!
Kaity, I love it... you did such a great job! XXX
I have watched several of these being made (thank you Stephanie Canada) and I think yours is the cutest.
Thank you!
Thank you for motivating me to get back into sewing ❤… it’s been 45 years, idk why I ever stopped!
Yay!! I hope you have a great time doing it!
This is awesome!
There is hope! I discovered this pattern when someone raved about it in their video. So, I tried it and hated it! That's so exciting to learn that it wasn't completely me...the reprint pattern is largely to blame. Will definitely be giving it another go as it looks like such a fun and comfy dress to wear. :D
Good luck!!!
I LOVE THIS!❤️❤️❤️
Your dress is super cute with the checked fabric. Also, I was so excited to see someone sewing with the same machine as I "attempt" to sew with (I am a beginner and currently have varying levels of success. LOL)
Awesome!!your dress is so beautiful 👍🥰
Thank you! 🥰
9:03 owie 😂
prettyyyy dress, glad i came across this video. really appreciate that there's no annoying background music for the most part. i found this very calming to watch and listen to
Thank you!
The result is so cute :) loved the video
Thank you!
I've made this dress several times over. Its soo easy and you can do many alterations and additions to it.
Agreed! I can’t wait to make more!
Very well done, Kaity! I`m much impressed. Love from Germany
Thank you!
Great job, prettier than anything that’s out there now. I used to sew a lot.
I bought this pattern about 10yrs ago and never made it. I also think it could be made really pretty as a after 5 dress as well. You did a really great job! I love how u were able to copy the fabric on the envelope.😉👍
Thank you! I agree! I’m looking forward to making a few more versions!
avoid the retro copy. get the original pattern if you can. THAT one doesn't have the horrific fitting problems the retro one does.
