 Hi you guys, welcome to the Vogue Spring Collection First Impression Review. We are going to be taking a look at all of the new patterns that Vogue has released and kind of talk our way through them as if we're like hanging out and looking through the little books at Joanne together. I'm just going to talk about just kind of general opinions, fit, fabrication, overall design, just you know kind of off the cuff first thing that comes to mind which some of you guys comment in the comment section about how funny sometimes this can be so I will try to make you laugh. Actually I'm not going to try it all, sometimes I just say weird things and they all think that's funny. Okay, so kicking things off. We have a Mrs. Dress in two lengths. This is a dress with stand collar, yoke, front band at front band at raised waist, front buttons with bias loops, side seam pockets, invisible bag zipper in two lengths and two sleeve options. A features cross wise grain design for double border prints. Okay, that's a lot of words Vogue. So we have a stand collar, a little shoulder yoke situation, gathering here, big little gathered big little big gathered sleeves gathering in this like in this waistband I think what they meant by however they described it is that the bottom of the waistband sits at your waistline and normally it's the middle or maybe even the top then you have all these buttons and loops. It feels a little bit vintage to me, it feels a little bit like 40s maybe, I mean it's cute. This of course is very flattering, the under bust gathers but yeah I don't know. Maybe if it were like okay I got to remember we're looking at Vogue here right so this is not just like your everyday stuff so maybe if I were going to a special event, a wedding maybe if I were in a wedding maybe something like this for like one of the bridal events, some really special like not super formal necessarily but just special occasion maybe I would spend the time do all these gathers and do all these buttons and everything. Let's see the back, yeah I mean it is it does look designer right it looks very high end there's the back okay so again oops sorry we have the stand collar you have your invisible zipper look how good they do at the matching oh your yoke which you can tell is interfaced which I guess is good and then more gathers there's your waistband again more gathers then our sleeve has two little baby buttons here too the sleeve might be a little bit big long and like the opening is big but yeah I mean it is really pretty here's the back I mean yeah that's really cute right I'm getting like kind of prairie vibes from the back a little bit okay here are our line drawings it looks simple enough it's one of those things man Vogue will get you it'll seem unassuming and then you're like four days in and you're like how am I still working on this we do have sightseeing pockets no idea if they're anchored I would hope so okay yes we went through all of this all of this fabrics so you a is intended for double border prints you be and also a really you could interchange those you're sort of more sturdy cottons right or sturdy wovens poplin satin linen blends yeah something like kind of I'm surprised they didn't put like shirtings in there something like really crisp good for the has to be like structured enough for the collar stand and the sleeve gathers but also like drapey enough to even make a gather so there's like a balance there but yeah any of these would be really good I think satin would be especially pretty because it has a little bit of a sheen to it but also a little bit of stretch so that would be nice for this little waistband part okay so we do have three well four yards of fabric depending on your size this one remember is cut on the crosswise so keep that in mind 22 inch zipper 21 half ball buttons that's all done by hand whoo finish garment measurements they put in here but where are regular measurements to compare it to you know it's like I guess this is more helpful than the then only having the body measurement chart but like the body measurement chart would be nice to have to to compare I'm not I can't tell you anything about ease on this so this is for the point of this video at least this is not helpful to us because I don't know this there's no relation you know it's not relative to anything alright yep there are line drawings again okay not off to a terrible start here we have a Mrs. top loose fitting top has gathered sleeves and button with bias loop closure it's feeling very similar to the dress view a is cropped and has an elastic waist okay front ties and three-quarter sleeves with elastic hems VB has long sleeves cuffs with the same button and bias loop closure continuous lap opening in lace trim I mean I get that the stand callers like a little bit taller on this version but not really on this version I feel like they could have given us all four the two dresses we just saw and this all in one I don't know I guess this does have this little like yogi thing happening here so it is a little bit different but but they kind of look the same like why wouldn't I just make this into a dress and call it a day I do love these sleeves I much prefer these sleeves over the ones on the dress that's for sure and then when you start adding in this little bib and this pentuck detail and the lace it's very Victorian and just like in general like tunic length over a pair of white jeans I don't know it feels it feels kind of out of touch like somebody is somebody really making that to go anywhere I can even imagine it in like a special occasion situation I mean this one's cute enough right it's fine I mean I think the fabric is really what is kind of carrying this one the fabric is really pretty in those sleeves but like normally I can kind of like pinpoint like what is not landing for me personally sometimes it's the fabric choice the color even sometimes is off I think this one's just the design feels like I guess maybe a little costuming I just can't imagine myself wearing this to any occasion and I'm somebody who typically likes to like turn up the volume on fashion and design and all of that I'm not I'm not kind of a plain Jane girl so all of these extra frills aren't what's making me nervous it's just the frills them but what the frills are and all of them together I don't know it feels like a lot okay probably not my favorite loose fitting top oh we already did that okay fabrics poplin lightweight broadcloth lawn and shally yeah I think that the the yellow version is probably the broadcloth or maybe even lawn and then the floral versions probably a shally or ray on poplin or something I guess if I I'm trying to think if I saw that girl walking down the street I'd be like it's not ugly it's just not I don't know the word memorable yeah I don't know I can't I can't I can't pinpoint what it is about this one it's just something's just off about it something's just not like landing well okay so the cropped version is two ish yards the longer version is almost three you need two and one-eighth yards of elastic and ten buttons for view a that's for the sleep the last ish for the sleeves and the waist and then a bunch of lace trim more lace trim and twenty nine buttons good grief and then again finished garment measurements but that's not super helpful to me without the actual body chart measurements gosh I think I want to like it more especially this pretty floral eversion because I do love that fuchsia color but um but yeah no I'm not and I'm not digging it all right let's keep a positive attitude as we move through these right not one is going to determine the entire collection this is a skirt this is a full asymmetric skirt cut cross grain has draped side split faced him waistband invisible back zipper and length variations okay I think it's gonna be a little hard to tell exactly what's happening here until maybe the back will tell more but it just looks like you've taken some fabric almost like a curtain and just wrapped it around you and put a waistband on it this deep hem this is the hem facing that they're talking about so the hem facing is probably like three or so inches but it kind of is reading a little bit yeah like drapery and you can see down here to the more of the facing you can see how that's kind of done oh move your freaking arm so it looks like it comes to the side seam and then kind of does a cascade situation there's the invisible zipper yeah I can't tell how it is sewn into the waistband because of all of these arms and elbows but it looks like it might be like turned back on itself and this here might even get sewn into the side seam too that's what kind of creates a bit more of the volume that and having the hem band all through here as well that's some pretty decent print matching right yeah so here's the drawing it does look like it's sewn completely into the side seam there I don't know it's a little bit I don't mind that it's different and unique I like different and unique maybe the structured fabric of the painterly one this one I think they're trying to make that like a little bit promy like gown like right that beat this feels like some kind of satin or something right some kind of heavy weight fabric I think and this one is definitely got some sheen to it so it's definitely a special kind of occasion fabric but I think if we were to go the opposite direction into something a little bit lighter weight it might be it might read a little bit less it would read a little bit less like funky and more just kind of pretty but yeah they're recommending all super structured fabrics so fail macado and cara satin the only thing that would have even a little bit of drape to it is this linen blends so you can try like a cotton linen blend some some crinkle cotton something I don't know that I would recommend like a shally or something super lightweight but something lighter weight than those special occasion fabrics I think would give it a little bit more just wearability without it seeming so unique without it seeming so purposefully unique you know okay so three yards for the long one oh is it also it can't be fully interface that doesn't make any sense but you need almost three yards of interfacing so I'm assuming the waist band for sure but are they also interfacing the hem band I mean not a terrible idea to give it the structure that you want to create this situation and of course through here it would create like a really kind of like that um oh lord I might remember the name of it that stuff you put in your hem that's like a like a mesh or a webbing or something web web him web something and it creates those kind of like big nice pretty voluminous folds and in your hem it like it pushes your skirt out and kind of creates those nice folds in it it does make for a really beautiful skirt maybe this skirt is just meant to be a little bit fancier in which case I'm a little bit upset that they paired it with like body suits especially this one that this feels like this girl and this girl are going to two different things I mean that's just a blue tank top so maybe that's what's also throwing me off about this one too man we're kind of over three here I hate that I'm sorry you guys I do genuinely try to like them when I can but I'm also not I'm not good at lying I'm not a good liar so you would be able to tell if I were like faking liking something oh I don't know that this is gonna get any better okay here we go this is a top okay line yeah lined empire waist tops are close fitting through bust and have deep v-neck bodice with princess seams bow baby hymns invisible zippered center back and narrow strap across upper back view A is sleeveless and has gathered neckline ruffle of you B has balloon sleeves with stay okay so empire waist I think it might even come up a little bit this little bow thing I do and I like bows I'm a bow girl and bows have been making their way back onto runways like the designer designers like you know high-end people are putting bows on things again so you know it's not but it's out of touch with with fashion trends or anything like that maybe it's this bow I don't know I don't know I don't hate hate this version I wish it were a dress I think I would like it a lot more lengthened into a dress almost like you know trapeze style tent style dress with this really pretty neckline for like you know a birthday or like an engagement about actual ret type of thing something girly fun frilly you know light-hearted kind of event but I don't see myself making this and putting it on with my khakis and heading over to target you know again it's not a I should start out like a ranking with numbers would that be helpful whereas like the last I say that the second dress was like a three the last one was a five this one's a six you know if I had to rank them and put them like on a scale of how much I like them it comes down to like can I imagine myself in this somewhere like where would I wear this what occasion would this fit into my life and granted obviously my lifestyles different than yours but can you envision yourself in this somewhere can you can you put on a black mini skirt and and a little clutch and head out for a date night in this I don't think so that feels that feels no no okay so here's the back with a little strap going across that's probably simply just for the weight of the sleeves or the weight of those ruffles on the other version to keep the sleeves up on your shoulder it also makes it harder to get into because you have to slip your head through this thing and the other thing but not this and then um you know zip it up yeah again I don't hate this one but I don't know that I'm gonna be investing my time in it I mean I got a lot of patterns you guys and I just know I have more that I like better than this the line drawings are kind of really adorable but that the bow on the on the printed version doesn't translate it doesn't look like this maybe they used a different fabric a more structured one on that version it would be different and this does look pretty close but I almost wonder what it would be like if they swapped them and did this one in a drapey fabric and this one in a structured fabric how that would have looked I know that you guys had that had looked at this collection already saw this and thought Lindsey's gonna love this so maybe it's me maybe it's like I don't know some things I'm just like in a mood or something because by all intents and purposes it like on paper I was supposed to love this but I don't know it just didn't it's not landing for me what is happening poplin broadcloth Ankara again so those really structured fabrics and then for B they're recommending they aren't recommending a different fabric for B even though be be very much was in a knot in any of these fabrics maybe a rayon poplin but not a cotton poplin I don't know what B was made from but it's definitely not broadcloth or Ankara I mean that has so much drape in it not fooling me I don't know what that is not one of those three that's for sure so we are coming in at so a lot of lining actually so you have to get I thought this was the fact the main fabric yardage no the one in three quarters lining plus three and a half yards of fashion fabric this is for a top but I wonder if you did lengthen it to address it obviously be a mini dress right well I guess you could go to the floor you probably wouldn't have to buy that much more fashion fabric depending on how you tall you are and where your height is distributed you might even be able to get away with just an additional half yard so it wouldn't be that much more expensive to make it a whole outfit that's I don't know that's kind of like how I justify making things in addresses that's why I have so many dresses because it's like it's just so much easier to just make one thing and not have to think about pairing it with anything else you know I mean that's just a little bit of like fashion math I guess okay now we have this feels very bow right very unwearable for most people but but a bug pattern nonetheless this is an off-the-shoulder double breasted line jacket close fitting through bust has boning fully interfaced body and long sleeves semi-fitted high-rise pants have flared legs invisible back zipper hook and I separate pattern pieces for your cup sizes okay so they probably saw this on some celebrity at some point and recreated it again it's for an occasion right like you're not wearing this to the office or to target or to church like it's like a maybe like an office event because it's kind of like business but also fun or an event where you're like want to be represented as like you know strong and bossy and like you know like I'm double-breasted coat kind of girl but it's an event it's a special occasion for sure it is really pretty really cool if I ever I've never been to an event like this to begin with and I don't foresee myself getting into some kind of life where that those kinds of events would become commonplace for me so I don't see this one in my future but there are plenty of us out there plenty of you guys out there who so and also attend these types of events where this could be a show stopper there's no doubt if you showed up in an event with this on and told people that you made it on top of that you I mean best dressed for sure so this one gets a nine right on the on my little scale that I just made up not not a 10 just because I'm not going to buy it but I won't be mad at you if you buy it those other one I won't be mad at you if you buy the other ones I'm just gonna be like tell me more like what do you see in this help me see your vision a lot of times that does happen to where I get on Instagram and someone's posted like a like their finished version of something that I was kind of like on the fence about and I'm like dang they actually really did make that really cute or wearable or like I can totally see that now so I always stand to be corrected but now the pants cuz you know 599 at Joanne every now and again it's worth it for a nice pair of pants these are a flair pant I love that they don't have a zip I mean they don't have a zip but not a fly I love how they're clean in the front and then just have you know the simple one little dart in the back well one on each side that to me seems like something I would I might actually buy this pattern and make those pants because I don't those pants feel very wearable I don't see them in a lot of other patterns I don't remember seeing patterns like that so in that regard it's kind of unique to this pattern and I can imagine in a lot of different fabrics to I love a flare I mean anybody who's a pear shape you guys know like there's something about put on a pair flares that I just come alive okay so wool blends medium weight crepe linen blends jacquard yeah if you're if you're going suiting for sure if you're just gonna make the pants you could also like I mean you could also make this kind of really interesting if you went the opposite direction of like suiting business and you did it out of denim I mean now we're talking about okay actually might wear that on like if I went to a girl's trip to Nashville or something still very special and very specific but more in the realm of possibility for me than the other like just looking at these line drawings can't you see it out of like a stretch denim with like matching denim pants and like real big sparkly buttons okay I know I'm changing some minds out there I can hear all of your wheels like cranking okay so the jacket itself is less than two yards which might seem surprising but you know because it's a peplum which are peplens are coming back to so it's just chopped up a bunch you know but then there's lining and interfacing so you know it gets up there and then your pants are a little more than two and a half for the largest size it also goes from 8 to 26 you know that's I don't talk about both sizing a lot because it's usually not impressive but this is one of the best I've seen going up to a 26 we don't have any finished garment measurements for me to talk that through anymore but yeah 26 going up to a 26 well an 8 also is impressive like on both sides of the spectrum of body inclusivity this is representative as best as Vogue has ever done before can they do better yes but this is an improvement so I'm kind of happy to see that actually so five buttons three yards of boning and an invisible zipper for the jacket I know who can I okay okay redeem redemption for sure for this collection that's gonna be one that stands out in my mind especially those pants okay now we have a skirt in house design yep okay fitted skirt has raised waist waist facings side front and back seams side front and back seams okay I think that means like the princess seam thing center back slot zipper stitched him's the a has contrast overlays with top stitching and purchased eyelet tape with lacing VB has front band and eyelets with lacing okay so here they are trying to hop on the corsetting trend and this might for those of you that are my age maybe a little bit older might take you back and feel very much Victoria's Secret circa 2000 or who remembers Newport News okay leave a comment letting me know do you remember Newport News did you ever buy anything from them and is this not like a dead on dupe for a 2002 Newport News catalog so yeah it again the corseting trend the lace up all of that kind of I don't want to say bondagey type of stuff but you know that realm of things is what they're calling on here it's a beautiful skirt the waist facing with the waist stays all impeccable you know you're gonna get a good quality beautiful skirt if you make this and if you've never done the eyelet tape before it is actually really cool so you maybe wanted to learn something new not the end of the world not hard to do not impossible by any means and then this is the side panels that they're talking about oh this when they even left the ties the so these things lace up obviously and then they left them really long like dangle that's kind of cool a little bit of like a nod to fringe I mean I can see myself in this for like a date or like a New York City trip or something I mean that's I mean they made that one even kind of casual I could see myself not maybe going to target in it but definitely like a cute lunch okay here's the back so this is to what they were talking about the overlay so they have this and then the tape and then yeah side seams and then your center your side panels become your tape and then this is the flap zipper now they call it flap zipper I can never remember what these are called off top of my head so maybe this will help me remember because it's not a lapped zipper that's different but yeah and this one doesn't have any and you can obviously put the eyelet tape or the yeah that what are they called grommet tape eyelet tape on here if you wanted that without the little zigzaggy thing look at that though dang yeah kind of cool right again not for everybody I get that but at least it's it's not so far into the like designer category that it feels unwearable for anybody other than a celebrity or someone that just like really really really pushes the envelope on fashion this feels wearable slot zipper slot zipper help me remember that a slot zipper okay twill satin and medium weight denim mm-hmm the dinner might be kind of cool actually if you left this raw and did like a frayed edge or something that might be kind of cool too hmm so the skirt's not gonna take much fabric but this is where you're gonna spend all your money so you need a zipper five and a half yards of eyelet tape 17 and a half yards of corset lacing I don't know what that costs per yard but even if it's like 50 cents it adds up then 10 corset lace tips which are kind of like this the stops on the end of the cords 56 eyelets four yards of corset lacing and two corset lace tips for B so it looks like B the eyelets are done individually and then for a it's the course it's the eyelet tape which is probably why they had to make it in black because I can't imagine eyelet tape comes in a ton of different colors but this one you're literally like hammering 56 eyelets wow commitment commitment okay and so this is a 6 to 24 so the same number of sizes the same quantity of sizes just one size smaller than the last one we looked at and that'll take us to a hip of 51 and a half from 36 to 51 and a half finished and this is a close-fitting garment so that's close to what the the body measurement chart would be anyways I would think yeah okay I like this one another nine another nine alright now we've got this shirt dress another in-house design I'm surprised we haven't seen a designer pattern yet maybe they saved them all for the end button front alien dress loose fitting through bus has dropped shoulders collar neck band patch pocket side slits and length variations long sleeves have concealed button closure along under scene and button cuffs oh would you look at that this is a button band so you can make it into a cape type of thing or button it up and have a sleeve what do we think of that I don't it's interesting it's not like unwearable it's not that like crazy but is it is it I don't know does it feel broken like if I hadn't read that to you and then pointed that out would you be like her slave ripped it's not crazy but is it weird do you understand the difference between the two of those like is it odd strange or is it like that's so interesting it's actually kind of cool the shortened version the little mid-thigh version same deal I like this one because it feels like you took your you took your like jiggaloo from Miami his little silk shirt you took it off the back of the chair from the wild night you had together and you put it on and wore it as a dress right it's like the the sexier slinkier dirtier version of like a men's men's women wearing men's wear because it is drapey and slinky and oversized right I mean it's long on her sleeve and the shoulder drops down and so it's giving that like I'm wearing a shirt that's so many sizes bigger than I am but it's not like it's not the bankers button up no no no no no this is the this is the nightclub owners shirt oh what was I in another life you guys I have no idea probably a lot of fun um so yeah so probably yeah not my style but I can see someone wearing this and it being super super chic um and this one I probably would wear this one actually maybe not in that psychedelic print I mean you could tone down like the you know jiggaloo quality of it um and with a different print or even a solid like imagine that like in a champagne color or black um and all of a sudden it's looking very very chic and not so not so sweaty yeah there's a good picture of the sleeve thank you very much for this it's like deconstructed but I think in like I think it's cool I think it's cool it's weird okay but in a cool way not weird in a ugly way weird in a cool way that's my vote so I give this an eight this one gets an eight right you look at the the line drawings they don't seem that you know even especially this one this just seems like a cute little short dress but when you put it in that psychedelic colorful print um in that silky type fabric it can go it can go a lot of different directions this one especially this one I mean they put it in that yellow like structured cotton um I'd stay away from like white and neutrals because you can be like insane asylum like a straight jacket like we can go that direction really easily um but this in a print I think would also be really cool maybe like a smallish oversized I mean a smallish like did see your type of print I don't know or maybe like um a picture in more like a traditional shirting like think of like a mince shirt with like the pinstripes um or any kind of like stripe I think that could be really cool in yeah now I'm seeing it that I see a lot that that I can visualize actually like yeah wearing that a lot I can see myself in that and something like you know when I'm talking about like the blue and white you know the the the sort of traditional men's but not shirt fabric that kind of shirting the um pattern calls for poplin linen blends shirting and satin again I don't know where these this is definitely drapery I thought that that was going to be some kind of like silky type um but you can't find poplins that are lighter weight and drapey so maybe that's what they're using um fabric requirements yeah almost three yards for a b of course has more than four um 24 buttons 24 buttons that will be a fun day um and pretty roomy all around I can tell just from these numbers um but six to 24 on this one as well maybe two if you shorten that to like a midi link that would help too just kind of like a lot okay enough about that one mrs dress and tunic by sandra betsina okay here we go with some designers um sandra is known for funky shapes and applique funky shapes and like pattern mixing and print mixing and like a bunch of different little pieces all put together somehow very artistic uh pleat front a line dress or tunic has back yoke dress has sizing pockets contrast collar and coughs hem facings tunic has lantern sleeves contrast upper sleeves yoke lining and hem facing stitched to the outside purchased fringe trim okay okay what is that that it looks like a hair clip but I think it's I don't know what that is maybe it says in the notions but here's your little fringe trim it's kind of like a crossover you know you've made this little v-neck um tunic type thing before um this one this fold is accidental it's not intended to be there which with sandra you have to double check because she does funky things like this but looking on this one and she also does asymmetrical things so it could be one or the other but I do think that this is just folded in on itself in a funny way because I don't see it really over here um and then you have your lantern sleeve again with just you know the different prints and the trims and the hems and all of that kind of stuff then this one looks to be actually pretty tame for sandra all she really did was put this contrast um neck band and head sleeve band on there but I still I'm dying to know what this is right really pretty and I can see a lot of women in that I mean it is like um it doesn't feel very like young and youthful to me and that's okay uh I like it it feels mature in a way that's very like thoughtful like I'm a mature woman but I care what I wear and what I look like and I put a lot of time and thought and effort into my clothes um even though it's still kind of like not got a ton of shape to it it's not something that you just threw on to cover up your body you know it's it's very intentional um so I like that about it a lot yeah here's our back yoke oh you can see it really well there okay so line drawing wise this one is not giving first of all it has floppy pockets which those would immediately be gone if I were making this it doesn't have whatever that thing that is that a did they accidentally leave a hair clip on her dress is that what happened I mean I'm not the only one who's seeing that right what I mean why is that there it's not part of the design it wasn't in the line drawing I don't know what that is is it sunglasses that's like turn the eye parts are on the inside of it I don't know I don't know what that is but it's definitely not drawn in here um so yeah this is just kind of lackluster but in the in the drape of the fabric that they chose it looked really pretty and I mean can you imagine this guy's to take five seconds to sew two seconds to cut it's really two three pattern pieces at most and then this which doesn't even feel like the same thing at all this is like how resist these two things in the same pattern but I guess because of the neckline and the drop shoulder and everything that happens below that is really just you know small little details most of the bulk of the the the pattern drafting I guess comes in this bodice part so hey make something for yourself and something for your mom or vice versa okay so heavyweight round crepe yeah that is what I kind of feel like those other garments were made from like a heavier weight but still drapey fabric um three or four ply silk or drapey knits even for sure now how those fabrics and this one that there's got no that is not a three or four ply silk neither is that that those things have structure in them so I don't know why they're skimping on telling you what to make for view b or what to use for view b they should have a separate fabric section for b sander also does her own own sizing thing so it's always a through j I don't know what any of it means I've never made one before but they're all in one envelope which is nice and then steam a seam and just your fringe like you don't really need a lot of notions at all which also makes me believe whatever that thing is was an accident for sure how did that happen who knows I mean maybe if it were like an actual if it were sunglasses and they had the eye part on front it would be like oh they just did that for like styling purposes but I don't know what that thing is the loop-de-loop thing it's it's right there it's definitely there too I don't know what happened okay yeah that one was that was decent I get that one a good seven point five I can see myself making that dress that dress is one of it's going to be a sleeper pattern you know it's me one of those that nobody's going to pick up and nobody's going to buy until we see that one person online on instagram or wherever who's made it and raves about how comfortable it is and then everybody's going to be running out to get their own so get yours now go ahead and make one up it's wearable pajamas and it's it's cute the drapey fabric is is critical for that one though okay so now we've got this dress from Julio Cesar yep he's very much known for um asymmetry not asymmetry but um what's this called a mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm like handkerchief him he does that a lot he does a lot with volume he like plays with juxtaposition which I guess the fit and flare probably makes sense he makes he makes really beautiful upper east side type of clothes um very much like Blair Waldorf's mom uh I guess mrs. Waldorf I don't remember her actual name Helen or something um so yeah she this girl's got money right she's going to lunch in this like she's this is not a special occasion this is like just any every day and she's wearing those heels all across the streets of new york that's what I'm picturing anyways oh my dress with bias cut bodice which is how you're able to get this really cool stripe situation happening twisted strap detail and very loose fitting draped skirt dress includes invisible side zipper and side seam pockets oh it's like the bodice becomes the twisted sleeve thing that's interesting and then a waistband and then your skirt which I hope will be able to see more about how this is done um in the line drawings but it almost looks like it's a bubble hem like this is definitely two layers here very interesting very pretty you know some some celebrity would wear this to like a daytime talk show or something okay so yeah it looks like it's just a circle skirt with some kind of cut special cut to the hem to make it do this little thing but I think it's double layered I think this is like not even just lined it's like sewn down here and turned up under itself and then there's two layers right because you couldn't see like in here like that's one side of the fabric and this is the other side yeah it very much looks like that's a fold right there but that's a seam yeah I don't know this is really interesting it's kind of fun to look at right sometimes the designer ones are not super hard to replicate on your own like pattern hacking and then sometimes you look at them and you're like yeah no I have no idea maybe I could go to the joanne and get the the instructions and look at the the pattern pieces you know how they have them like not the not the tissue but like the instruction booklet how they have all the pieces for like your cutting layouts and stuff and then make heads or tails of it but even still I would be like probably a little bit confused it's cool um so linen blends cotton shirting and poplin and then horizontal stripe fabric if you want to like you know do how they did with all the fun stripes which I think really did play up sort of the interestingness of it probably oh my gosh almost 10 yards of fabric so that skirt is definitely the somehow to ply two two layers somehow some way I don't I can't remember the last time I saw a dress that was almost 10 yards of fabric that wasn't like a costume or like a you know something from like the what am I trying to say the um uh the historical type of patterns you know what I mean I can't think of what they're called um but yeah wow okay so maybe you can find some less expensive poplin somewhere geez well I told you she was rich I told you she had money and even the homemade version of her has to have money okay this I did get a little accidental sneak peek of this and that maybe that's why starting out this video I was a little bit negative because I was going in thinking we were gonna get a lot more of this which feels very up-to-date youthful modern on trend all of that and that other stuff I don't even know so maybe now we're getting into the nuts and bolts of it um but this is the blazer dress with peak lapels top stitching on side front seams long two-piece sleeves you know I love a two-piece sleeve with button trim and shoulder pads so far it's a blazer right but then the dress features a button closure at the waistband concealed button closure on the skirt waist cutouts side seam pockets and length variations so this feels like maybe in the same way that that other like businessy type of remember the off the shoulder blazer double-breasted thing like that woman and this woman could be the same and going to different events or this could just be someone who has a job it's a little bit less like a little bit loose on the the dress code like someone in marketing or PR somewhere along those lines maybe even depending on what city you live in you can get away with something like this I feel like you can probably wear this to work if you worked at Vogue magazine in New York City for example something along those lines if you worked in a nightclub even and we're like a cocktail waitress do they don't they wear nicer things right in black but yeah this feels very wearable to me in more situations than that other one but it's really cool really cute I can see myself in this it wouldn't be something I reached for every day but definitely for like I mean it feels appropriate for like a 41st birthday right yeah why not um but I think that this is all open right there's nothing keeping this closed until here and then there's buttons concealed under here as well which I think visually gives it such an interesting like like how is that staying on kind of look um I will say the shoulder seemed a little bit long right I feel like it could be like maybe an inch shorter on her maybe this one they're trying to like accentuate the shoulders like back in the 80s kind of situations but it doesn't look so bad here but for some reason this maybe the angle of the camera I don't know but I quite like this one it feels youthful but but like anybody could wear it and you can tell she's happy even though she is very young but you can tell she looks happy yeah I mean cute right let us see the back yeah okay well maybe the back is where we take a bit of a turn that is not that doesn't look great does it that looks really weird and I don't know man um it went from appropriate for lots of things to now this feels risque this feels like a one more inch and you're at the crack but I don't know how I don't know how else you would do it unless you mimicked this application however they did this if you did that same thing to the back so this was being pulled up and this was being kind of tacked down I guess I don't mind so much that this is loose that's okay but I this low back this like tramp stamp stamp zone feels personal like that to me that feels more sexy than like cleavage right I mean that's like a sexy zone so I don't know I don't know I don't think it's too big on her I think it fits her fine um I just think there's not and holding it up but or but so maybe you could put elastic in there too maybe that would help um kind of keep it up a little bit and elastic here would help keep this against the back which I think would help ideally I'd like this to sit against the back this does feel maybe too big through here like you could have taken out a big chunk through this center vaccine um but as some elastic here in this waist to kind of hold it up a little bit but I can see the the younger you are I can see you being like no no no that's totally fine but to me I would be like I would feel so uncomfortable in that okay this much better how did that happen I don't know but okay if I'd seen this first I wouldn't freak out as much I don't some some discrepancy between the two I'm not entirely sure I thought they were the same girl but maybe they're not um but yeah this looks a lot better so whatever you have to do to make the do this and just let it do this that's cool that looks cool in the back and I again I don't really mind that this is like billowing away I might nip and tuck here and there to take a little bit of that volume out but it's fine yeah super cute I really like that so we've got medium weight wools gabardine linen blends twill yeah more of your again like your suiting type of stuff but twill is one of those things that comes in a myriad of colors and weights and all that kind of stuff so it doesn't have to be as suit like as you would think you can have like a cotton twill and it'd be kind of a little bit more casual okay cool that one gets a 10 well 9.5 because of that weird fitting issue okay so now we've got a corset which at this point you guys are used to seeing the crop top corsets right like them or not we're here they're here right this is what we're doing now um closed fitting corset top has fully interfaced body boning sweetheart neckline hook and eye front closure and contrast knit i'm thinking in the back and then view a has above elbow length sleeves view b has long sleeves separate pattern pieces for cup sizes so that's probably where I think we went wrong in some of the other corset patterns we looked at especially in like mccalls and you know some of the other brands is that there weren't cup sizes so if you weren't like a b cup like you were going to have to be doing some serious work to fix it um I think these are attached also so it's not strapless but it looks like a strapless top with like a shrug but it's all one um and I think that's kind of cool this feels like that same pant from before terrible fit on both girls honestly but right is that no fly flat front simple flare pant which makes me want those pants that pants pattern even more anyways back to the corset top so you have your you know it's like undergarments but outer garments and then you can put a little lace here I actually do quite I have a lot of like laces I never know what to do with them because I'm not really a lace person but maybe I'm well now that I'm saying the words lace shrug that feels wrong like I shouldn't those two things don't belong together not in my wardrobe that feels very like mother of the bride and I'm not a mother or a bride let us see the back oh no those are like a legging but even still you get the idea if they flared out at here right down to here you'd be like maybe the exact same oh I see so kind of just like tucks in almost it doesn't but it's what it looks like interesting so are they Calvin Klein pants I guess so they couldn't they didn't take that little thing off um yeah yeah I don't know I kind of like it what do you guys think I think in the right fabrics which I don't think they did a bad job picking fabrics for this I mean the the animal print black one feels a little bit like again going back to Newport news feels very Newport news like to me very Victoria's secret back in the day um like trying too hard sexy like it's already a crop top corset we don't need to add animal print into it um and then the pink one with the lace that's obviously a little bit sweeter but it also limits where you could wear it so I think if you did a little bit of thought of thinking about fabrication where you would actually wear it what kind of events is it just for date night is it for girls night is it for the club is it for target you know you could come up with some cool ideas again denim is one that jumps out at me let's see what some of the other fabric recommendations are satin brocade and jacquard for the corset and then 35 stretch thank you for putting the percentage on here I don't know if that's unique to vogue uh wait I don't know if that's a new thing to vogue since I've been complaining about it and the other brands um or vogue has always done that I can't remember but ponte jersey stretch lace um I think you could have a lot of fun like you know how denim and lace are like that's like isn't that like a carry underwood song or something anyways there it's like classic right that could be like a lot of fun or like denim and eyelet or like um or like if you wanted to go into like the brocade satin me realm um thinking about if you wanted to make it more casual or keep it that dressy and just find the balance between the two pieces whether they're juxtaposed or they match I think you can make some really really cool versions of this for sure yeah I'm giving this one a nine I really like this one yeah for sure and I like how the kids are wearing clothes these days where they have these like really dressy tops and they literally put them on with baggy pants baggy jeans um not my favorite look but it's certainly one way to dress something down that's for sure yeah this one's cool okay I feel like we're we've hit a stride here we've been doing pretty good this might take me over the edge mrs top and skirts this view a okay I have thoughts already um tops have drop shoulder collar collar band front and butt closure link variations view a is cropped and has darts ties that wrap around the waist long sleeves with button cuffs and placket view b has short sleeves stitched him's inside slits bias cut skirts bias cut skirts okay are fitted through hip and have waist ties invisible side zipper closure and hook and eye I remember watching the Oscars not too long ago and well it was the vanity fair after party you guys might have seen this photo because it was very um polarizing some people loved it some people didn't I don't even know who the girl is I don't remember her name I don't remember what show she's in honestly but she wore a like a like a off-white champagne colored bias cut skirt just like this with the like little baby him and everything with that like feather top it was literally like a feather across her nipples and that was it um and I remember thinking to myself okay obviously the feather is like you know we're trying to make it into something but that skirt is so perfect in so many ways and the fact that it can go from red carpet to the boardroom I mean bias cut skirts especially the silky type fabric are very like 90s 2000s but the way that this is done with this like matching top I don't know that this is one of the ones where it does not fit into my lifestyle currently but I want to live the life where it does so I'd be willing to change my life for this outfit or the other ones I was like no I don't want to be the upper east side girl I want to be the girl like I guess you'd be in like Florida or the Caribbean or Spain or Europe right it's very it's very cool it looks exceptional a bias cut skirt I've said this a thousand times I don't care what size you are I don't care how many lumps and bumps you have what quote unquote problem area you have bias cut skirts and dresses look good on every one everyone especially when you buy them in these silky types and and there's the drape of the buy it I'm Trump a promise promise promise if you don't believe me buy one off of Amazon or somewhere and try it on and then return it um or keep it because you love it so much but you know try ready to wear one first before you commit to making one on your own because it does take quite a bit of fabric but man this is cool this is really cool this is this is I don't like this is an 11 but I don't have anywhere to wear it so it's a one because I'm mad oh I mean even that one with like the non crop top I don't even know that I'd have anywhere to wear that I guess I should get the get it for the skirt that skirt is so freaking cool it's like pretty and sexy and sweet it's all the things all at once it's really just perfect look at the look at that skirt how it's fitting her body that's incredible and not because she's a model like the fabric is doing all the work there it's so good all right well I'm definitely getting the skirt getting this for the skirt then so we'll take it back up to a nine and I'll just keep it at a nine since I can't justify that crop top I guess I could make the top and wear it with jeans but wearing them together feels like I'd have to go back on like a big vacation to pull that off somewhere and I don't typically like to make things for just one event that feels just as I might as well just go buy ready to wear it's just as wasteful okay so charmous rayon crepe shally crepe back satin yeah all of those fabric requirements the top the long sleeve top is two yards one and five eights for B and then the skirts oh actually you can get away with not that much fabric for the skirts that's even more impressive because they're cut on the bias and there's only I mean it's the front and the back I thought it'd take more than that but I guess not skirt see you can even make out a 45 inch fabric and D you have to use 60 because it's so long but of course I'd like D the best all right buttons buttons invisible zipper hook and eye cute super super super cool um oh and our last few here okay we've got a little athleisure set knit top and leggings in two lengths where are the designers I hope this isn't like indicative of a bigger like a sign that more designers are pulling out of home sewing why would they do that that's so mean oh it was like one of the redeeming qualities for these high-end fashion design houses I mean they used to have like Christian Dior and stuff not all went away and so then we got these kind of like lesser known middle size you know brands and now those are going away too oh okay loose fitting crop tops have dropped shoulders long sleeves rib knit trim and an optional crew neckline or hoodie optional crew neckline I mean you get to pick between one or the other okay high-rise leggings have spiral panels waist span with elastic stitch shims and link variations so that's not the fabric that's oh those are stitch lines huh why is she wearing high heels give me a freaking break come on at least put her in a wedge not a stiletto that might be somewhat more believable vogue has a funny sense of humor I tell you what okay so switch it's a hoodie it's a cropped hoodie and a crop sweatshirt vogue style drop shoulder like not a raglan like usual drop shoulder to give it that more relaxed look literally a pull on you do have the eyelets you know with the drawstring here and then this little gosh how do you even keep your pattern pieces straight can you imagine what these these little pattern pieces look like she looks ridiculous in those shoes I'm just gonna this pattern gets a zero for that just for that styling alone like why is that not good enough that biker short is so cute a cute little sneaker monochrome very chic you don't have to put a girl in high heels to make her seem dressy although she's serving like she's like you know what give me what what stop stop stop stop I can't they changed her shoes y'all they put her in ankle oh my god I'm gonna throw up okay let's just keep it knee up and I'm just gonna cover the bottom of my hand because the shorts do something for the booty area if you don't I have a booty I don't need a lot of help there but if you don't I think this is gonna give you you know more than you actually have it's gonna look real juicy down there and then yeah this just looks normal I guess maybe a little bit I mean it's oversized that's what all the girls want so okay there she is in her high heels but yeah well I don't know now her butt looks a little bit small it looks like she has no butt now so I don't know but like imagine what this pattern piece looks like it comes down like this and then wraps around the front of her back to over here weird okay yeah line drawings are fine I think I'll just stick with my basic biker shorts I don't know that I need all these swirls and stuff it might be more trouble than it's worth loose fitting oh wait did I breathe that already no loose fitting crop top has dropped shoulders I think it was so distracted by the high heels crop top has dropped shoulders long sleeves rib knit trim neckline variations high rise leggings and spiral panels I did read this because it said optional hoodie hood or okay anyways 75 stretch on the bottoms yes but not view a that's so annoying it's fine for me because I know not to do that but if someone's out there making their very first sweatshirt and they think I have they'd have to use freaking spandex blends for the for a hoodie like that's confusing even the term active wear nits is confusing I can't it does look like all the sizes come in one extra small to 2x so oh oh yeah the rib trim for a for the little cops and little little cops and little band here one strip of 7 by 64 inch rib trim for b oh why is it oh wait why is it different I don't know it's the same oh two strips and then one stroke okay I'm getting tired um draw string cord eyelets elastic okay cool yeah and this the 2x only I mean they're calling it at 26 like 4 to 26 but that's only a hip of 47 which barely fits me granted you probably want negative ease in those shorts but only like an inch or so what's funny to me is imagining being there that day and they're like yeah give us this look and you know she's doing taking all our photos and the photographer is going off going off and then somebody somebody says no no no wait wait take off the sneakers and put on the high heels for me like why why I don't I don't know I don't understand okay here's our little vintage friend I'm going to preface this like I do every time I review vintage patterns I don't sew vintage patterns so some of the terminology I don't know what it means sometimes they use words that don't make any mean anything to me so I do my very best I always ask for the vintage girls out there to help me so if I come across something that's confusing or don't understand and you're confused by it and you want to understand it check the comments because a lot of times the vintage um sewers are chiming in to help me help all of us understand what is happening okay vintage vogue circa 1976 love a 70s look loose fitting love that tent shape sleeveless dress below mid knee or floor length has front square neckline attached bias cape pockets inside front seams and back zipper closing self belt holds fullness at weightline okay I get all that perfect I knew every word so similar to how the the hot pink top had stuff sewn into the ruffle the big that became the sleeve sewn into like the princess same this is the same thing um this is getting Donna Karen right aren't we feeling very don't you see Donna Karen in this um I actually can see myself making this and wearing this like to target I know that seems kind of wild because it feels a little bit dressy but um I think in like the right print in the right weight of fabric it's just another pretty dress I kind of love the cape too and then they were saying something about how the belt holds up the skirt or something like it acts as a waist stay are they all pointy yeah I don't love but now when looking at this it feels like a coral robe you know like from the from choir um or like a or like in church a little a little pastoral priestly um but you could always just like make that little scoopy and the belt really did help that too you know it's really just a sash tie belt which aren't my favorite at all I really hate those but um cinching it in helps it not look so much like you know a Christmas pageant um fabrics are okay just let's just take no care of the difference between vintage vogue pattern language and today's I've been reading off the fabrics all this whole video of all the modern patterns look at the difference in this one soft or crisp fabrics such as matte jersey crepe crepe to sheen shally pongee lightweight wool crepe it's not a ton more information but it definitely will steer you in the right direction right it's a little bit more helpful and certainly there's more than three fabric recommendations um 8 to 26 but it's very loose fitting like very loose fitting so seven yards of fabric my goodness for the long one I mean five for the short one it's just that cape man that bias cut cape it's like a whole other garment in and of itself all right and then we've got one little piece of menswear um I've had so many guys coming taking sewing lessons from me in person sewing lessons and they're always like where can I get patterns that like I would actually wear and I try and send them to the big four um to to norris and to all the guys that are doing the know me patterns and some of them they actually do like but norris's patterns can be a little bit too uh too fashiony for the guys in charlotte you know the guys in charlotte want to blend in nobody's trying to stand out really um so even though sometimes can be I try to talk somebody into those diaper sweats pants anyways I'm getting on a tangent he was like no I'm I would never wear those and I'm like come on they're so cool this is this this is a wedding singer's outfit who's who's gonna make that what guy is wearing a white cropped blazer what guy is wearing a long line blazer in freaking electric blue come on that I I guess maybe I didn't use to care so much about the menswear because I didn't have to but now that I I see the struggle that guys are going through now I'm like I'm taking it personal um we gotta do better for the men because otherwise they're gonna quit they won't stay they won't keep selling if they can't find things that they like or things that they'll actually wear they're gonna buy one or two patterns make a few versions of them get bored and quit because they even had a guy today asking me about making a seersucker suit and I'm like a thousand percent we could do it and I'm thinking Boog obviously would have like you know the coolest tailoring but I'm not gonna show him this he'll fire me all right peak lapel shoulder pads front extending to side back and that's kind of cool no side seams welt pockets inside and out double bent back link variations interfacing in line two piece sleeves with button bent I'm sure that the line drawings are gonna be okay and if we just make this like a normal length and a normal color it would be fine ish but it's still a little it's a little 80s a little boxy for the guys this guy has a freaking sheer shirt on who Boog come on now I get that you think that you're above everybody every normal like middle class person out there and that all your stuff is only cool enough for the coolest of the cool people but like you do sell your patterns all across the country small cities small towns even like this just feels like a joke if I showed this to one of my guys students I don't even know but some cool things that about it are this front piece like they were saying this goes up and over there's no side seam up and over the shoulder to the back what no the pose what's wrong with his hand like no okay so it goes up and over it's not what it said up and over becomes center side back oh the front becomes the side back okay so the front wraps around this way not over the shoulder but around the side and that's where you get your double bends the the fit of the back looks great even though it's got this really super extra long shoulder length for no reason other than to be Rick Ross and or a wedding singer like I said before so there they are I said the line drawings are gonna look pretty normal and they do but oh man linen blends men's suiting cotton blends and then contrast satin three-quarter and shoulder pads but usually I think I do like half inch at most so those are a little bit extra all right well it's either like love or hate for me there are very few patterns in the middle the ones I liked I really liked the ones I hated I really hated um very polarizing collection I think but I'm curious to know what you guys think I can see a lot of you saying that you didn't like any of them I can I'm already predicting that um but hopefully some of you are with me and can see the vision and some of these and see it fitting in your lifestyle more importantly so yeah let me know what you think leave your leave your comments commentary in the comment section below otherwise that's gonna do it for me today y'all I will see you all very soon bye
