A little note 💕 For some reason, my video editor wouldn’t let me add text after I edited all the clips together, so there’s no commentary in this video. But if you have any questions about the pattern, I’m more than happy to answer! When this pattern came into my life, I knew it was way beyond my experience level so I set out to make this a “wearable muslin.” But every time I figured something out I’d get pleasantly surprised and am really delighted with how it turned out. Lots of happy dances in this video, lol. I just get so excited and celebrate each little win along the way. They’re a reminder to me that we can do anything we put our heart into! Enjoy! Xoxo, Cindy Leaux P.S. If you’d like me to make more sewing videos, please like this video and subscribe and I’ll film more. 💕
So beautiful! This is prettier than the dress they made for the live-action Disney Cinderella! It could have been used in that movie. I hope you will enjoy wearing it.
I like this video with out it! It's like an "asmr follow-me-through-the-process" type of video. It's great to watch! Thank you! You should definitely do more sewing videos like this!
darussianping61 Why can't you, don't you, wear what you want? Hey, if all the "youngers" can wear & do what THEY want, why can't WE wear clothes WE find appealing? Just sayin! ❤✌️🤘
@@grassy6101 Not sure about now but when I lived in Seattle there was a Great Thrift Store & they had Lots of Vintage clothes! Try staying away from the "chain" thrifts, ie Goodwill, Sal Army bcuz they've gone insane w/pricing! Either way, whatever you've got your heart set on, don't stop looking! Good Luck!!! 🤞✌️🤘
I love that you give yourself a rousing round of applause every now and then! And I admire that you’re able to sew in silence without cussing like a sailor!
The dress turned out exquisite. It is just so dreamy. I am quite envious of all the ruffles on the bodice. They are just stunning and so feminine. I am not able to wear them because I am overly endowed and it would look just ridiculous. I hope you have many chances to wear this beauty!
@@charlottepeukert9095 I have a large chest but a normal size body. The ruffles accentuate my chest overtly. I have tried on similar dresses and I promise you, with my G cup it is too much on top.
You persevered and created something so extraordinary. Wow, it’s gorgeous. It reminds me of a dress I wore in the late 50’s to my first formal dance. 🎉🥰
Oh my goodness 😮 you did an excellent job 🥰 I've been sewing for over 60 years and I don't think I could have made this incredible dress 🥰 Keep up the good work 😘
@pilotswife..we did this in the 70s in HS when they had classes back then & cooking classes. I wish they never stopped! The only thing I used a pattern for was for my sons Halloween outfit & it was a beautiful green Dinosaur outfit.
My cousin was a high school homecoming queen in the '50s. Her mother was an outstanding seamstress & made virtually all their clothes, including the gorgeous pink and black gown she wore for homecoming. I am almost positive this is the pattern that was used, I remember the little black bows on the skirt & the ruffles on the bodice. Yours turned out equally gorgeous, kudos for sticking with it.
I have a very similar pattern from the same time period. I want to make it now even though it isn’t my size. Dresses like these just need to exist! Thank you for the beautiful, inspirational video!
Thank you so much! 🥹🙏🩵 What is the similar pattern if you don’t mind me asking? The only one I’m aware of is a re-make from the 1980s Simplicity Retro 9247.
This is gorgeous. I've never seen anything like this done. I never thought a mere mortal like me would be able to comprehend how dresses are made. You make it look like anyone who follows directions could make a fantastic dress, that kind of makes me feel weird, because I thought that there was magic to making something like this and a fool like me would never be able to comprehend. it.
Thank you so much! In your defense we all do have a little magic in us. It’s just a matter of us finding our “happy thought” to bring it out 🪄✨ (Also, there was the help of that magic wand and the little birdies, haha)
The shot of the tulle everywhere had the most palpable air of pure regret most of us who sew regularly know so well lmao… excellent job getting through it! I know it wasn’t easy!
It's a gorgeous dress. We have these gorgeous dresses in our closets but nowhere to wear them unfortunately. I can't wait to be invited to a party to wear my vintage ball gowns/ dresses ! I love tulle, lace and brocades !!
Such a beautiful dress, I wish I had your mad skills. This is the first video I have come across from you and I had to watch it til the end. Wonderful job.
Unsolicited tip for you, and anyone else interested. Whenever I find a pattern I love or one that is brittle, I trace it and all the markings onto foam poster boards and cut them out to use as a sturdy template. I punch a hole through the end of each and secure them together with one or several metal shower curtain rings. Tape a vellum sieve into the largest piece and use it to store a copy of the instructions and the front and back of the envelope. ❤
Love it! I really want to make an over the top dress for no reason other than for my pleasure. 😊 I just need to find the time and right fabric for the project.
It's very pretty! A bit over the top for my personal tastes, but that's the beauty of sewing - we can make what _we_ want! And this one's yours, not mine. 😊
And Cinderella is ready for the ball. That dress is truly beautiful. Well done. Adventure awaits... LOL, your happy dances are everything.Fascinating how the original owner seemed to have used the boddice, but not the skirt. I wonder what theirs looked like. By-the-by - do you have a tailors ham? They're really useful for ironing anything with a curve in it. Also - I have an old pill bottle I keep my broken and bent needles in. I drop it in the sharps disposal bins they have scattered around town. If you ever need to repair an old pattern you can use acid-free tape - it basically adds a layer of fine paper; the glue is such that it won't yellow over time.. I find mine at the local art & framing shop. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Thank you so much! I do have a tailor’s ham and used it but cut it got cut out of the video to shorten the length of it. I was super hesitant to do much pressing with the iron so I ended up doing a lot of finger pressing bc the net is quite cheap. I didn’t want to accidentally melt any of my hard work 🤣 Thank you for the tip!! I do have that tape and will have to use it on the pattern pieces for sure. I always appreciate your wonderful comments. 🙏❤️
@@CindyLeaux Thank you. Your work is beautiful, as are your videos. And I totally get being hesitant to use an iron on the netting (shame all we have these days is the polyester option).
Hello Cindy, I love your content🥰. I am also a vintage sewist. I am a decade behind sewing 1940s style and stepping back into the 1930s a little bit. I wanted to know where you find your fabric. Do you shop mostly online or brick and mortar stores?
Thank you so much! I admire you for being able to work with the “blank patterns” of the 40s & 30s. I haven’t tried them yet but someday 🥰 For wearable muslins like this, I get fabric from Amazon or Walmart. I do have a beautiful linen that I’m looking forward to working with in the future. It’s from Mood Fabrics. ❤️
@@CindyLeaux Thank you. I have purchased fabric from Fabric wholesale direct but not Mood Fabrics. I will have to check them out. If you have the time a system of drafting called the Haslam System of Dress cutting, I believe it was around from the 1920s to the 1960s. It is a really great way to learn the art of drafting and making some great garments you can write on lol. I usually find the books in Esty for about 12 dollars for a digital download. The downloads come with about 20 garments inside. Its great.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve seen Fabric Direct when searching for fabrics but wasn’t sure how good they were? I will check it out for sure & the Haslam system! ❤️
I have to rewatch this because Sandra Dee wore a very similar designed dress in “The Reluctant Debutante” and someday I want to make a rendition of it. I’m even more thrilled and how you got the tulle frills on the bodice ❤
So pretty! Looks like Cinderella. I remember those patterns well - my mother made all our clothes. Too bad her talent didn’t rub off on me - I can’t sew for the life of me.
This looks absolytely fabulous 🤩🤩🤩 good thinking greating vintage patterns with THAT GORGEUS FABRIC, I absolutely need to try this my self not goodenough sewer yet 😄
What a wonderful video! I had always wondered what it would look like to sew from a pattern of those kits! You chose a lovely dress! It looked like Cinderella's. I watched it so happily! Thank you. I am new to your channel I am looking forward to seeing your videos.😊
Just a tip...use good quality wax paper to iron on top of your pattern, it will give it a little more strength. Like gel polish on a nail. My mom used to do that. Good luck 😊
Oi Cíntia, este vestido é pra boneca? 👗🤗 Ficou muito lindo e perfeito 👗💖 Parabéns por sua criatividade e talento adorei o vestido 👏👗👏👗 Beijos do Brasil. 😘🌹😘🌼😘💞
When your video first started, a prom dress (costume) immediately came to mind. It was worn by an actress named Susan Buckner. The name of her character in the movie was Patty Simcox in the 1978 movie version of Grease. Your version of the dress is much more detailed by the end of the video, but the color and the style of the ruffles reminded me of so much of that dress I thought I'd share that. I don't know if you've ever seen that movie before or not, but I wouldn't doubt if they used that pattern. There are quite a few pictures of her wearing it and you can see videos right here on TH-cam when they are doing the "Hand Jive" dance at the prom. Your version of the dress is much prettier in my opinion. Well done! 😊
Beautifu! I'm looking for the company that made my 70s prom dress in blue like yours. It wasn't fancy like yours but, it did have a front panel opening with string attached. I looked at all the patterns & 60s -70s dresses with no luck. 😭
Thank you! I used 100% cotton for the underdress & glitter net for the overdress. It’s got little sequins but they’re super light. The needle goes straight through them. When I make the final version I’m thinking of using a taffeta for the underdress and for the overdress a net with actual crystals💕 Thank you for watching 🥰
Thank you! Mostly you can find original vintage patterns at antique stores, estate sales, ebay etc. It’s a bit of a hunt. I wish you good luck in finding some that you love!
A little note 💕 For some reason, my video editor wouldn’t let me add text after I edited all the clips together, so there’s no commentary in this video.

Its beautiful! Cinderella herself would be peoud to wear this!

My mother made this very dress for me for a dance in the 50s. Ribbons and all the ruffles. I loved it.
aww that’s wonderful! what color was your dress?
@@CindyLeaux Blue
The dress turned out exquisite. It is just so dreamy. I am quite envious of all the ruffles on the bodice. They are just stunning and so feminine. I am not able to wear them because I am overly endowed and it would look just ridiculous. I hope you have many chances to wear this beauty!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement 🥰❤️
The dress doesn't look ridiculous on a person with a langer size.
If a dress fits well, it looks good.

When I make the final version I’m thinking of using a taffeta for the underdress and for the overdress a net with actual crystals💕 Thank you for watching 🥰
I love it ❣️ I would love to have some of the vintage pattern! We're do you get them ? I do have some that they have released.
Thank you! Mostly you can find original vintage patterns at antique stores, estate sales, ebay etc. It’s a bit of a hunt. I wish you good luck in finding some that you love!
