Have I already seen this video? yes. Will I watch it anyway because it looks amazing and it's just relaxing to watch while crocheting? also yes. I love you digging up those videos cause while I watched them all, it's fun to rewatch some of these beauties.
Bianca! I did my first slash and spread the other day (to make a massive floopy sleeve) feeling confident because of you! I now have a beautiful floopy sleeved viscose top to wear to my aunt's ordination in June 😊 Thank you 🎉
WOW!!! Bianca, you totally rock the glam gown look! ❤ Absolutely amazing. So what if you don't go anywhere requiring an evening gown? Wear it to watch TV! 😁 You'll be the most glamorous thing in the house! 😍
I love the *idea* of wearing my nice clothes at home... I get momentarily excited every time I encounter the idea. but removing cat hair from them, or denying kitteh snuggles while I'm watching TV just aren't options I'm willing to accept. Ahhh well...
A classic dress! You've worked with so many knits since this project. And to answer your questions from years past, I tend to watch TH-cam videos on my TV. I use an old Google Chromecast. It's extra nice for sewing videos, you get a lot of details!
I watch TH-cam for entertainment and company. Listening to Bianca working in the background as I do something else, dishes, sewing, folding laundry etc is just nice.
I remember! Sometimes I forget that you've always been glamorous but you really kicked up a notch by making "the Millionaire Milliner" film. The story, music and of course you acting was off the chart. Unfortunately I don't have what it takes to wear the gown, but I love seeing it created. ❤❤❤🥰❤❤❤
I gotta admit, my solution to a leaking steam iron has always been a spray bottle of water. I'm still using my mom's old iron that hasn't done steam the entire time I've been alive, so I'm used to doing it the other way 😂
Nearly choked on my tea when I heard the short film was uh... unimpressive... Bwahaha! Premiere screenings are often the first and only time the crew will ever see this film shown - because it will never again see the light of day. There are some absolute gems... but...
Have you ever seen a film called My Man Godfrey? Not a noir, but stuffed full of glorious early 1930s fashion, and it's surprisingly progressive for its time in the way it skewers the disparity between the haves and the have-nots in the Great Depression. Come for the costumes, stay for the social commentary, I guess!
The first half of one of my chapters didn’t save, so this was a necessary distraction and mood boost. I may still go cry while I try to remember what I wrote last night…😅❤ Thanks for sharing
This is a beautiful gown....... on the subject of vintage films to see their wonderful clothes, I really enjoyed Mildred Peirce, both the vintage and the more modern film, and I love the outfits , and have copied some of them, using YOUR directions for drafting / copying a vintage pattern.
I switched to an industrial steam iron for the same reason. Bought it brand new and was actually 20% less cheaper than my previous one. Never had the same issue again and I actually started to enjoy ironing.
Omg!! I just found your channel a few days ago and already binge watched so much. 😊 I’m delighted to see a new video!! You are so skilled and creative, and the shiny, glimmering fabrics you use are so eye-catching. Thank you for sharing your lovely creations with us.
@@TheClosetHistorian My eldest son thought she was incredibly beautiful. She was a Montana girl. I gave him 'The Thin Man' series for Christmas one year.
I have found that if you fill your iron to the fill line with water it will dribble every time. An easy fix is to not fill the iron all the way. Hope this helps 😊
funny i lived in Canyon Country in 2008. i had family around but i was lonely too. your not sewing over the pins here. this dress is GORGEOUS!!! you could go to the opera
I often listen to your voice while I paint. And sometimes I forget my painting.😂 Love what you do. Thank you! I wish you could take looooong holidays filled with nothing but rest. And I don't mind to see some content twice or more.
Favorite Noir for me is “Laura”. If you like outfits, Gene Tierney’s husband Oleg Cassini designed all her costumes for her films. Also “Where the Sidewalk Ends”
My apartment was in Glendale-ish, between Glenoaks blvd and the Brand Library Park ✨ Some gorgeous little vintage houses still around I could dream about 😂
Your pattern making amazes me. You are a master and I love your work, although this one wasn’t one of my favorites. Congratulations just the same on a job well done.
Now that's a nice little slit! Perfect for a long stride. But no arachnid on the shoulder?? I think you should wear that gorgeous dress when you inform your cats that you are all moving to a beautiful Victorian mansion. And then you go out the door to the closing of your new house! Afterward, you hit the town to celebrate with your realtor, the seller, and your new architect.
not me thinking "what? a new miss bianca video? but it isn't thursday!!!" only to look at my calendar and be stunned that it is, in fact, thursday what a beautiful golden gown!!! you look so lovely as always
So funny what you said about L.A. When I was there in 1999/2000, I remember this one party where I kept getting hit with the same three questions from all the guys: what job do you? what car do you drive? & where do you live? lolz.. great dress looking forward to seeing what you do with it next .. ❤
I can't afford to be a patron 😢, so I love this glimpse at what is behind the pay wall. This dress is so beautiful and glamours on you! Please get some rest and some writing time I will be here waiting for you.☺️♥️
I enjoy all the Bogie and Bacall Noir films if you're looking for recs. Also, if it interests you I would love a video dedicated to Noir films and outfits you love.
Do you have homes for all your finished embroidery projects? The "blank" spot you asked about could be a good display option perhaps even rotating them if you wanted.
How did you come up with your base bodice front and back pattern? I'm learning so much from you, and I love your base pattern. I've been sewing for a very long time, and it never occurred to me to do such a thing. 😅 I guess I like extra work (not lol)
You have inspired me to get serious about making my own clothes. Have managed 2 dresses and a skirt, about to tackle a pants pattern. Please tell me why the zip is inserted nearly last? Surely it is easier to sew while flat, then do the side seams after that? Is there a reason I am missing?
Hi, I'm pretty certain that I answered your question about my favorite Film Noir back when this dress was new, but I'll answer again as it hasn't changed. It's The Seventh Seal, directed by a very young Ingmar Bergman. The lack of nice clothes to pull from that one is even more meager than from The Maltese Falcon, as it takes place in the age of the first pandemic Black Death in history, and in rural Sweden no less. No interesting dress at all, unless you count Max von Sydow's Death costume. Other than that it's another case of where are time running to. It wasn't that long ago you made that necklace you're wearing in the original outro. Except it must have been, and I've misplaced some years somewhere. Very aggravating. I hope you have a good time looking at houses, and that you will tell us all about it in due course.Yours, Ann
I have a technical question regarding dolman/batwing sleeves. Some draw the shoulder/sleeve line at an angle instead of a straight line. How is that different when it comes to fit? Thanks
I have a funny story about LA. I was a character actor for a music video (I did it for a friend of a friend), and the director came over to me, and asked: “so, who do you know?” My jaw about hit the floor. Is that how people in LA ask you things like: “so, what are your hobbies?”, or “so, what do you do for a living?” I said, “I know that guy over there (my friend), I know my family, and I guess I know you now. Who am I supposed to know? What a weird question!” Yeah, I made the guy feel like a dope for asking such a petty, industry question. I have family in Orange County, and I have never been asked that before. I did get hit on my a magician once at the Magic Castle, but he was a creep. I guess that’s par the course at the Castle, though, from what I’ve read.
film noirs with glamorus women/ clothes......Gilda....Laura......Leave Her to Heaven..... The Postman Always Rings Twice....The Lady from Shanghai......Niagara......Mildred Pierce

How cute! I knit socks while watching Bianca. Unless I take bad photos of my kois 🫣 or the duck family that was there a while ago. 😅

Good work! An epic sleeve is always a good idea! ✨
I appreciate that it always seems to time right that I have a new video to watch while my hair dye is marinating.

@@armedvsokord I agree! Her voice is very soothing
I do avoid the more scuba-ish knits now that I know though 😂 no marshmallow fabrics!
That is a very film noir dress, the silhouette is very glam. Love the shape and the fabric is gorgeous.
I hope life gets more manageable for you!
Thank you!!
Tatooless arm 😂 my brain was like ‘something is wrong’. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
A glitch in the Matrix for sure 😅✨
I feel like this is something professor reversing off doctor who would wear love it 😊
I know nothing about Dr Who😅, but thank you!

Stunning dress
I believe I saw it before, but not the making of it. Nice stories, too.
Thank you!
Hollywood Royalty!!
Perfect timing just home from collage and ready for an another great video 😊😊😊
Nearly choked on my tea when I heard the short film was uh... unimpressive...
Bwahaha!
Premiere screenings are often the first and only time the crew will ever see this film shown - because it will never again see the light of day.
There are some absolute gems... but...
It was rough, but Yamashiro was beautiful 🤣
I love how you did the darts in the front!
Literally a shiny queen.
That dress is so glam! Absolutely loved it ❤

So glam!!
I love "The Thin Man" movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy. All the clothes are great, even the men's!
Myrna is just so fabulous 🤩
@@TheClosetHistorian My eldest son thought she was incredibly beautiful. She was a Montana girl.

Thank you Suzanne!
I love rewatching these beauties! I remember them, yes, every detail, nope so it's always a fun adventure into what has my brain retained lol
TFS! 💙
Thank you Kera! ❤️
Although the fabric is a test the end results are amazing. On my screen I see much more than a golden sheen.

Thank you! The Women is the bessst film for clothes 🤩
I often listen to your voice while I paint. And sometimes I forget my painting.😂

I wish you could take looooong holidays filled with nothing but rest. And I don't mind to see some content twice or more.

AHHH Miss Glamour! Thanks for showing us how to make this gown. Just lovely on you Bianca.

Totally get what you mean about marshmallowy fabric! Love the gold. So shiny. Those diagonal darts look great.
Thank you! No more scuba-ish knits for me 😂

I think you should wear that gorgeous dress when you inform your cats that you are all moving to a beautiful Victorian mansion.

Just basted up dress for Barbie almost like this one!
So elegant.
Thank you!
I can understand why you went with that fabric, it's so pretty! 😍
Gorgeous!!!!
Hi Bianca, I love the golden gown and you look super in it.
Thank you Debra!
Love your channel and videos! You've inspired me to get back into pattern drafting. thanks!
Thank you!!
LA is weird! So hard to meet “real” friends, and yes, The Getty! Lovely.
Sometimes I listen to you as I work, then watch later in bed before I sleep 😁
Same! 😊
Wow, stunning!
Thank you!
Amazing!!!
Stunning!
Thank you!
The dress is lovely. The fabric sounds quite weird!
Hope all is well and that things are going well!

Please tell me why the zip is inserted nearly last? Surely it is easier to sew while flat, then do the side seams after that? Is there a reason I am missing?
One can do the zip at any point they wish, I just like doing them next to last so that after the zip I'm home free!
The top that you're wearing and the beginning and end of the video, is that the same fabric as the gown??? Both are beautiful :)
Thank you! Yes the top was made from the left over fabric from this gown ✨

If you want to see movies with really glamorous outfits and they are new, watch "Allied" and "Grace of Monaco".
Omg I just got a new iron and it’s leaking also. So annoying.
