Definitely in the pink to tie the look together 💞
@@patalv09 I’m kinda leaning that way too 👍😁
Pink, pink, pink….everybody loves pink!!!!
I’m into monochromatic!
Thankyou so much for taking your time to explain and show us what you’re doing
I have been crocheting most of my adult Life. I am turning 72 this year. I would never be able to make this. I love watching you. You are the most creative person that I have ever watched. I love that you will make anything! I look forward to more of your videos!
I agree 100%. Corinna can probably make anything.
I bet you can make it! Go on give it a go!
Oh my this is gorgeous! And ambitious 😁.
My great aunt Grace was the youngest girl of 9 siblings and the only one to go to high school. For graduation the young ladies wore dressy gowns not robes. Like you would wear to a fancy party. Her family could not afford a store bought gown so her sister Ruth crocheted a beautiful gown for her. It was somewhat similar to this lovely gown. Grace graduated in 1933. I had a photo of it but somehow it was lost in a move.🙁😥
She looked beautiful and proud.
Wow, that's gorgeous! I do think that the first bit of the skirt before you ended would make a lovely sarong it would make a great wrap around for a bikini. Just an idea in case anyone didn't want to make the whole dress or ran out of yarn. It's so beautiful.
Can't wait to do it with those novelty "silk" yarn with sequins
Would highly think about making this evening dress. Yeah!!!
I love your program..I was born in 1936..my grandmother, aunts adid crochet..I have some of the crochet needles Gramma used..she crocheted a shawl like the one in another video..in got burn up in a fire ..she ordered yarn and needles from Hershners catalogs
Thank you so much for sharing that , and thank you for the kind words, I welcome you to my channel ❤️
I do a lot of filet crochet in size 20, 30 and smaller threads that require a few hundred chain to begin. I place a marker in every 50th chain. It’s easy to keep track of then and should you need to recount, you’re only recounting 50 or less.
I never thought in million years I found this kind amazing Crochet account like yours! The way you present the history, the way you explaining how to crochet anddd.. your voice and your humor! Gosh! I can't wait to try this AMAZING gown ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
So glad you showed the Solomon knot. I’ve been trying to work it out from a written pattern and getting nowhere! You could mess it up really easily if you pulled up uneven heights!
You’re very welcome, and thank you 😊
Holy Christ.....this is my dream come true.....I thought I was the only one who craved vintage designs. New subscriber. 💓
Thank you and welcome!! 🤗
I feel exactly the same
So excited to have found this channel! I've watched so many vintage knitting channels, I really wanted to see someone dedicated in the same way to vintage crochet garments!
Thank you so much! And welcome 🤗
Looking forward to watching more and more. Watching the red beaded purse right now.
I gues I am never going to do a dress like that, but I learn so much by your explanations! Thank you so much. I am going to watsh all parts, for sure.
Beautiful dress not something I would make but it would be lovely for a period dress dance or a special occasion. You are an awesome instructor. You took the mystery out of the Solomon knot for me. Now I can actually make a scarf/ shawl That I have had the pattern for and did not make because the instructions were horrible.
The dress is absolutely beautiful. The largest thing I have made is a 1984 oval pineapple tablecloth. Took me 5 weeks.
Loved vintage but struggle with patterns. So helpful
Gorgeous dress. I was thinking about making this, but I don’t really have the amount of time I would want to spend on it. I’ll just admire the dress from here. Thank you for showing us how to make it.
Gosh, I'm so impressed with your patience in even attempting this, I would be pulling my hair out.
Thank you :)
Ok, so, I am somewhat of a "beginner" and I am making this dress for my elopement in Atlantic City, NJ of June 2023.
Omg!!! Congratulations 💝 , and wow, this dress is gonna do more than turn heads, it’s gonna wow 🤩, I’m so stinking happy for you, please keep in touch on here 🤗
Commenting from the future, lol!
For long chains, I place a marker every 20 chains to keep my count accurate.
Crochet hero!!🥰
I have a crochet booklet from 1935 with evening dresses in it, but a different one! This is so cool! There’s a dress in my booklet that I’ve wanted to make for years… you may inspire me to finally attack it!
I feel your pain with the slip situation… I ended up just having to sew my own for under lace dresses and such…
Tough times. I think we’re living in tough times ourselves. Sometimes I feel sorry for my children. They have more than I did but there’s just something missing. You know what I mean?
I loved the fashion then and in the 40s.
You’d have to have some figure for this gown. Wow, so pretty.
I know just what you mean
and thank you :)
Thank you I like to crochet I learned on utube a few yrs ago , being left handed my grandmother couldn’t teach me. But , I really enjoy watching these old patterns I think watching is more fun than doing? Lol but thank you so much for the interesting patterns
I'm so glad I ran across your channel! My grandma taught me how to crochet and I have to wonder if she ever used patterns like this one. She was born in 1897 so I'm willing to bet she did. I'll have to ask my dad if he remembers ever seeing her using a pattern to make something. She passed in 1992...I find myself wishing she was still here so I could ask her myself! :)
Thank you for sharing that ❤️, I’m glad your here too , we can keep what these women did yesterday alive and thriving today 😊😊
A lot you can work out from context. Patterns and yarn would be expensive and so was time. So if you look at the family content you get an idea of what she might have had access to. My own relatives I know made a lot of day to day clothing and work wear, household goods including doilies, they’d perhaps share some patterns among friends and through church. But I remember that printed patterns in any volume were somewhat out of reach and they would have had no where to wear an evening dress for sure! In later years they did subscribe to a knitting/crochet magazine and got patterns through that which would be shared, and was quite a thing as it was so new to them all. In old photos we can see the same pattern being used for multiple cardigans for example pre magazine, which must have been a standard one they knew. And then there would be something more fashionable when the magazine started.
And of course, people didn’t used to have as many clothes so having as many patterns as we like to collect today would be bonkers.
Hi my name is Kim from Australia 🇦🇺. Love your work. I am a mad crocheting fan myself. Can’t wait for more. You go girl
I used this yarn to make my grandaughter a dress, and it is quite splitty, but it did turn out beautiful
I am hooked to your channel, pun intended! It is beyond cool that you are giving life back to such beautiful creations!
Thank you ! :)
beautiful!
I love yonkey monkey yarn!
How have I only just discovered this channel! I love it!
Its worth putting up with the splitty bamboo wool it is nice to work with and the drape is beautiful. My favourite yarn at the moment.
far out .. subscribed . you are a hero
Thank you!! :)
I remember you always measure 7" from waist for hip measurement. Took me awhile to remember as i havent sewed for many years.
Edit to add: yes i have started the downsized version for the 18" doll. 🤗
I'm not making the dress but it was very instructive to see how you interpreted the vintage pattern and I have always wanted to learn how to do the knot stitches. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! and, thank you :)
I just found this channel and I am subscribing! Thank you for the quality content. I love the history you add and the production value is on point! Please keep going
Oh wow, thank you so much for that ❤️❤️
I too have just found this channel. So creative and inventive. You make this wonderful. I am a big fan of this era and I thank you so much.
@@windsong7759 you’re very welcome and thank you 😊😊😊
I just found this channel last night! I absolutely love history. And who doesn’t love glamorous vintage fashion! I can’t wait to start making one of your projects!!
@@TheRyelandfamily thank you and welcome!! 🤗
Holy crap I was gonna buy this pattern but wasn't sure if I could make it as I'm not that good with vintage patterns (or modifying sizing). This helps so much! ❤❤
That is going to be gorgeous Corrina! And I hope that you'll model it for us when it's done. Wouldn't it be pretty in black or wine?!??!? So far, the pattern doesn't SEEM to be assuming you know what to do as much as the vintage bra or gloves patterns you made did! I absolutely love the music you're playing and the little bit of the history of the time during which these patterns were published. 🥰 Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
Thank you so much ! I really have tapped into my creativity with this channel, so much so that my creativity to create my own patterns has hit a wall lol ( but im sure that as it gets warmer the ideas will roll back it) , I didn't want to just show and work on vintage crochet, I want to take us back to the source age , I feel it's important to make these items with the time they are from in mind, it gives them more meaning and homage :)
There is no way I can model it lol, Im a size 14 lg - extra lg, this patterns was not written for anyone bigger than about a size medium , people were just smaller then , but it was the great depression os it makes sense
I personally would love to see it made with gold metallic yarn and a champigan slip and coupled with jade and gold jewlery , that is how i imagine it as im making it with this stark white yarn hahaha
@@justvintagecrochet Oooooh...I agree that it would be even lovelier in gold! Maybe when you are finished with the white and pink dress, you'll know how to adjust the pattern to larger sizes and make it in gold for yourself!
Every minute is filled with choices to be made. With the passion you have for each of your channels, I'm sure your choice will be to juggle both together! I sure hope so - it would be a win/win for your followers! 😉
@@rosemarycreollo4326 oh Indeed , I can handle both :) ,
after I make this I don;t think I'll have time to make another , it took me 2 days of working just to get the dress to where it is as we speak ( about dow to the knees), this one is deiptivly time consuming lol
I have done some bead work. Been awhile. Tremendously enjoy. Watching your show.
Want to do so much still, but not enough time to do it.
I actually have some of the crinkley vintage yarn from my great aunt
Fantastic!! Thanks for all the background information too! I'm going to binge watch your videos today ✌️❤️😊
Been binge watching now for three days now.
Thank you for making this video. I have that pattern and was terrified to start it. Now, thanks to you, I'm going to give it a try! Thank you!
Yay! awesome :) ... and Thank you
You're so inspirational and brave for taking on these vintage patterns. I'm mind blown at the intricacies of these historical patterns and fascinated! This is so refreshing to watch and learn something new and different. Thank you for making this content! I appreciate it so much and love what you're doing!
Thank you so much for that :)
This channel is exactly what we needed. So fun! Thank you!
I just found your channel!! The vintage shawl pattern drew me in. I love history and crochet so this was the perfect combination for me. I love your channel!!
Thank you and welcome 😁😁
I've been working with veeerryyy similar yarn, just a different brand. the results are so, so beautiful but the splitting! Crossing my fingers that it's worth it!
crossing fingers girl!! I can't wait to hear how it turns out, stay tuned for part 2 :)
So happy I found this channel! Amazing. Thanks!🥰🙏
Thank you, and welcome!! 🤗🤗
Beautiful work, Amazing I'm subscribing and looking forward to see more videos of vintage clothing.👏👏✨️✨️👍🦋🌷💕
Thank you so much! lots more to come :)
OMG, I do! I do like this kind of content, so I just subscribed! I love early and mid 20th century history! How fun to explore these vintage crochet patters with you! I can't wait to see this dress finished!
This is the first video of yours I've come across. This is such a cook project!! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more in the future!
thank yo so much! , loads more to come for sure :) !!
So you can take 2-3 short slips to make a long slip...cut the tops off the short slips and over lap them about 1/4" use fabric glue and glue them together so you won't have a seam ...if a seam would bother you. 😊
I did buy a piece of satin and I added it to the bottom for a full slip, so you have a great idea!!! Thanks 😊
Mad respect to you! I did a lace table cover from a vintage pattern a couple of years ago and these videos are bringing back memories of reading cryptic patterns and looking at bad photos through a magnifying glass. Ps: bamboo yarn is evil.. (sure the end product is soft and pretty, but the splittage..) 😂
yes to everything you just said lol, and yes the splits!!! ugh haha
This is absolutely gorgeous, I love your channel. I do hope you make some small projects for babies that are vintage. Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into this project. I am sure your channel will grow in no time since this is a rarity. 💕
I surely will get into the baby stuff ❤️ I even have some from the Victorian era , thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
Great opening. Very informative. Do more like this.
I’m LIVING!!!! I’m so happy I found you this morning 😍😍😍
Yay! Thank you!
@@justvintagecrochet Ok, I just recently bought yarn & I'm too excited I'm chaining up right now lol.
@@ViperBurlesque woo hoo! You won’t regret it ❤️
I LOVE this channel… keep it going, please! It’s wonderful!!!
I fully intend to !!😉😁 and thank you 😊
Beautiful work, it reminded another post on Pinterest with this stich but in that case it had teardrop like crystals and pearls and the thread was thicker and kind of rope like.
Oh thank you!
I love all things vintage, and knit and crochet, and sew, and draw, etc, so I'm in for sure ! Liked and subscribed 🧡🙏
I love what you are doing! Bringing back the vintage, I have subscribed to your channel am very excited to see what comes next!!
Beautiful!!!!!
Yeah, make room for zipper or closure in the back of skirt.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing and teaching your talents ❤
My pleasure 😊, and Thank you ! :)
Gorgeous!
Amazing!
I wish I could read patterns
. That is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful
I just subscribed without you starting this laborious project and giving you an A+ for your effort👍🥺😀I truly appreciate you taking the time and patience to help us figure out and crochet this beautiful, yet aptly named “Love knot” stitches, because, I have to absolutely LOVE and have this vintage gown😍 I am prepared to dive into this tangled “love mess” I am gonna weave😉😅
Thanks you! and welcome :) . it will be worth the work, I assure you :)
Oh this is amazing! I adore all things vintage, especially crochet💓💓💓👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for a wonderful video
Thank you and you’re very welcome 😊
Maravilhoso 😍!!! Thanks from Brasil 🇧🇷😘😘
Thank you and welcome!! 🤗
What an amazing pattern! And the yarn you chose is great, soft and elegant.I love this channel so far, hope to see more!
Thank you so much!
Just found you! Totally enjoying and will subscribe!
Yay! Thank you!
I've been looking for a chanel like yours, there some vintage knitters here in TH-cam but not so many crochet videos :)
I love you work this dress will be stunning 😍
Thank you!! I have so much more to come too😊😊😊
I just came across you channel , I love thread crochet and vintage, I just subscribed, your very talented, looking forward to more videos!❤️
Thank you so much!
You are a very talented snd patient individual
Oh wow, thank you so much for that ❤️🤗
I just find your channel I subscribing! You are amazing.❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Wow I just found this channel thank you for sharing and I think the mesmerized cotton should be good for vintage clothing too ❤
I totally agree!
Love the trick of doing extra chain stitches and how to undo them. I always lose count
you can use a piece of thread in the locations you need to by draping around the parts that need to be changed so as to have approximate size in order to change the amount of stitches for the waist, bust and hips. this will be helpful to enlarge the pattern. it may take a bit of math for the count hopefully this will help with resizing to fit. love your channel.
That’s so smart!!! Thank you!
And thank you 😊
Oh your comment about splitty yarn !!! Eerrgg this so happens to me with some brands !
This is a tricky pattern! I can't wait to watch the rest and see how it all comes together! I know you showed the whole thing at the beginning, but I feel like by the time I watch part 4, it will be like a surprise again 😆
Thank you! 😊 , I think you will be surprised! :)
Love it, I’m gonna give it a go. I’m gonna use Hobby Lobby yarn bee bamboo Rufus.
I don’t know how the word Rufas got on my comment 😂
@@heatherperez3873 lol , dang autocorrect, it gets me all the time hahaha
Just as long as it’s a very fine yarn, this is basically lace weight 👍
Made in America yarn just came with 4ply silky yarn im dying to try. Mabe it will work for this. 🤔 🥰 < Hugs
Hi I am hopefully be going to make this for my daughter probably following along with you. I'm a bit confused about the yarn I have looked at it and it's lovely but I'm not sure if it was you or on the site where you purchased the yarn I'm sure I have heard or seen something that said its 6ply cotton yarn what would the equivalent be in UK terms I've not heard of 6ply in UK we have 2, 3 and 4ply but I'm not sure what the equivalent would be. Also how much yarn in the end did it take I probably get the pattern but still follow your instructions thank u and I'm really enjoying your channel even when you say u mess up its hilarious and you make it so good and real because we all get it wrong at times it's how we deal with it and you bring laughter and fun to my day. You are doing a great job thank u again
This is my first time seeing this very interesting my mother was born in 1936 and im 64 I'm going to try this dress 👗 don't know how long it's going to take but I'm going to try thank you.
Wonderful!
I just want to apologize for a rude comment I made I can’t find it to apologize properly I feel like a real ass , I am working on myself thru crochet and you r my fav teacher and everybody is so kind on here I don’t know what came over me it won’t happen again from the bottom of my heart I am sorry 😢❤️
We are all friends and we’re all human
I am very happily that you are here and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments again, thank you Jackie 🤗❤️
@@justvintagecrochet thank you so much those kind words have made my day you don’t even know 🤗❤️
@@jackierios2723 🤗🤗🥰
Me: I don't need to crochet my wedding dress. That's too much ambition and pressure
Also me: OK but...
I just discovered your channel today and I think what you are doing is amazing! I couldn't help noticing that your title screen is missing a 'T' in the word 'VINTAGE'. Thought you might like to know.
yes LOL , i already took cae of that for future vids , but sadly the typo stays for these vids already out hahaga
Too funny - I Just taught my husband's daughter the value of chaining extras when making a long chain.
I wonder if I could make this in a year's time . . .. I always crochet a shawl for our annual vacation (our lumber company sends 350 or so people on a 5 day trip as a thank you annually). This year I took a friend instead of the hubby and we hit up some speakeasies so this style is on my brain at the moment. How fun would it be to have this for another speakeasy jaunt?!
That would be too cool! :)
I'm using 100% nylon that seems to have that look
Hello I am new to your channel and I am loving this vintage dress. I was thinking 🤔 if I could us the crochet thread #10 0r #3? What would you suggest 🤔?
you would be closer with the #10 , that may actually work out pretty well , the only diff is the knot st(s) may look thinner due to the lack of " fluffyness" , but regardless that #10 should still work out :)
I love this project! I have watch all the parts over and over again, decided to try it so I came back and followed the link and ordered two pks of the yarn. I have gone ahead and worked few rows with scrap yarn so I can get familiar with the soloman knot stitch. So far Im pleased with the outcome, tommorrow though, I want to work a swach with sz. 10 thread just to see how that looks. I have a question, how can I adjust this pattern to have the waistline start just under the bust? Would I shorten the top part? Please tell me what you think because it would suit me better to have a higher back, belt under breast, kinda A line you know what I mean? Thank you for this channel and all the work you have put into it.❤❤
I would most def shorten the top and work extra rows for the skirt as well if you still want it to be floor lenght! I think you vision of this sounds very lovly in my opinion :) and thank you
@@justvintagecrochet do you have a website where I can read the pattern?
Hi! Do you know how many mm the #3 hook is? I’m unclear if the pattern is using the US or the European #3 and they’re slightly different sizes. Thanks!
So I had to google it, and the best I could find was a chart showing that it's a 2.2mm hook
@@justvintagecrochet Thank you!
This is lovely and looks like alot of work! Did you know your logo has no 'T' in Vintage?
It sure has been a lot of work lol, and thank you, No I surly did not notice! thanks a bunch :)
I have looked, Im not sure where you mean?
ok, I saw it, I'm gonna fix that right away, sadly it will just have to stay that way on the videos I already have up , but I thank you so much for pointing that out for me :)
@@justvintagecrochet You're welcome...such a lovely logo with the art deco type script.
@@lynnries7729 thank you 😊 , im trying to recreate it on Canva as we speak haha
O!M!G!
I'm almost positive you miss read the beginning of the pattern so that you're doing a modified Solomon's knot I think you're supposed to form the first half knot do 2 sc into the beginning band then do another half and at the end of that half know make another half know before joining the second or rather third half knot to the band 2 half knots = one whole knot rdguardless I think this will turn n out stunning any way
I would love to work on this dress. What number is the yarn. I would like to use a substitute in the same number yarn family.
It’s a lace weight, the recommended hook size on the yarn is 2.25-3.00 mm and the yarn is 1.2mm in diameter according to the label
@@justvintagecrochet thank you! 💖 can’t wait to follow all the tutorials!
what size is your hook in modern terms please ty
A #3 steel hook is a 2.10mm , you wont find a #3 in modern sets like armor or clover ( i have both) , but susan bates and boye still sell #3 steel hooks , you can find them on amazon
I have some of that crinkly like yarn that you show the picture of the burgundy one I have quite a bit of it it’s a purple it’s vintage if you’re interested in it I will send you pictures you’re welcome to it
i take that back its not purple its black yarn
@@jannasuglian297 That is so generous of you!! I don't as of now have a P.O. Box , but please keep in touch, you can find my email in the description box under the video, am always happy to get vintage yarn and use it , again that is very very generous of you to even offer :)
