I wear a lot 50s style circle skirts for casuel wear and have made a few petticoats from vintage patterns. Petticoats are must to make circle skirts look more fuller. I tend not have my petticoats not too floofy and full, but just to make then stick out a bit for practical reasons. Petticoats and slips are a girls best friend to protect your modesty, especially on those windy days. I think my petticoat has saved me from those embarrassing marilyn Monroe moments when a gust of wind blew my circle skirt way up over my head but the petticoat stayed down, Thank god xxx

Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean! And I’ve had embarrassing moments with wrap-around dresses with no petticoats on breezy days!Petticoats and slips are underrated these days. I imagine that you must be very glamorous in your everyday circle skirts. Wearing petticoats that aren’t too full means that 50s circle skirts look natural and not like we’re ’in costume’ I think. Thank you very much for watching and I’m always so pleased to know there are other vintage fashion enthusiasts out there! xxx

@@Samanthalovestosew Yes I agree, slips and petticoats are underrated. I always wear a slip or petticoat under my skirts and dresses. I think its nice to wear full 50s style skirts and A line dresses, its so feminine and very comfy to wear. Yes, wind can be a issue with those full circle skirts and dresses and can be a handful to hold down when a gust of wind gets under them.

Another wonderful video Samantha. All the various costumes were stunning. I was really into historical fashion for a while before I became interested in vintage. I really need to get back into sewing, although I can only hope to look half as good in my ensembles as the fabulous and creative people in this wonderful video, and I include you in that. I'm also really looking forward to the videos about more practical vintage. The only place I really go to is for walks with my dog, or else I'm doing stuff in the house so I really need some more practical stuff to wear. Yes so I'm really waiting for that one! Hope you are ok !

It sounds like we have the same lifestyle Jody! I’m thinking we need to bring back the wrap around house coats or overalls from the 1930s/40s and 50s in easily laundered cotton or brushed cotton, then have warm dog walking clothes that cover but don’t have hems trailing in the mud! I’m glad it’s not just me seeing the need for such garments! Thank you too for appreciating everyone’s costumes. People looked so splendid on the day it was hard to take it all in. Finding out how they’d created their costumes and the inspiration behind them made them all more individual for me. Thanks so much for all your support ❤️

I can tell you put so much work and effort into creating this reel Samantha. You probably didn't like the editing part. Surely you took a notebook and pen with you on the day of the event? So glad the weather was good enough too. I think the late 30's into 40's dresses is how I see you and I just see that as how you dress rather than see it as a fashion period. I suppose I am trying to say is that it is all very natural to you. Take care.

Ah you know me so well Ian! The editing took days and there were moments of overwhelm (even thoughts of giving up 😆) but I’m so pleased I didn’t as the glorious costumes everyone created needed to be seen! Back when I was a student late 30s dresses sold in secondhand stores for less than the new dresses I couldn’t afford, and I loved them more and they fitted me better anyway. I still have them, they’re my old friends! Thank you for watching (and understanding me!) 🥰
