I remember when DVF hit the scene. Her style made a serious impact on me. I doubly regret leaving my patterns behind when I was deployed to Germany back in the 80's. I thought I wouldn't need them. Big mistake. Thankfully, my mom kept some of my stash intact, but my sister had already absconded with my original DVF patterns. At the beginning of this year, I pulled all of the wrap dress patterns out of my stash and thought of creating a Make Nine series. That will have to wait until 2024 as I have a copy paper box full of wrap dress patterns to go through. Tea, a wrap dress and a shirtwaist aka shirtdress are two of my favourite style dresses to wear. I'm glad to see them making a comeback after the explosion of buffet dresses. I think there is room for all types of dresses in one's wardrobe. Thank you so much for doing the research and sharing this wonderful info.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

I agree! Wrap dresses should be a staple for everyone. I've never looked into the history of dvf's designs until recently. I think she has a unique style, and she often uses 70s-style fabric, which is interesting.

What a wonderful video. You did such a great job of explaining this history of the shirtwaist and how that evolved into the shirtdress. It is nice to know the background of these patterns and styles. Thank you for your time

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching

[@TheValerieStone]

Never thought about the history of these styles. Thank you for doing your homework. The vogue v1952 looks more like Diane’s signature style. Great video

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Thank you! I agree! After researching that vogue pattern, I am now tempted to go purchase it, even though I have several wrap patterns 😆

MS. Elsa Schiaparelli made the Tuxedo Dress in 1950, thanks for saying her name for the wrap dress.🎉

[@judithclark8022]

These are my favorite types of dresses. Thank you for the history of them. Love it! They look great on you!

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

This was so much fun and the examples you sewed for yourself are all gorgeous - thanks for all the work you put into making this video, and all your videos, in fact!

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

You're welcome! It was fun doing this video!

[@blufaerie]

Great video! I have always loved DVF’s style. And now that I sew I can recreate it.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

I'm getting excited to recreate a dvf wrap myself.

[@TanyaDBryant]

Thank You for sharing the history of the wrapped & shirt dress. Loved seeing all the different styles of patterns. I found an old (2007) Butterick pattern with 6 wrapped dresses B5030.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

That sounds nice! I'll have to see if there are any copies

[@LostMyThread]

I loved this video! So fascinating. I'm planning to sew some wrap dresses soon, so hearing the history is really fun.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

😃 That sounds fun! Do you know what wrap dress patterns you are sewing yet? I love wrap dress patterns!

[@LostMyThread]

@@crumpetsteaandsewing I don't want to give away any spoilers. I've got a video coming out next week, sharing the ones that I'm making. I'm hoping they're good ones!!

[@sydneyrosesews2488]

Woah. This is a lot of info. Thanks for putting the time stamps in the description box. It's always fun to learn the history of styles and fashion. Can you talk about the evolution of similar styles?

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Sure. I would love to do that! I had fun doing this video. Just let me know which specific styles you'd like to know more about.

[@jillblagborne7239]

That was such an interesting piece of history. The pictures illustrate all the changes over the yars and now I am enthused to make one. That was a great video. Thanks..

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Thank you! This was a fun video. I'm inspired to go out and buy more wrap patterns to create a Furstenberg design 😆

[@ZeldaSews]

Rap dresses look so pretty on people. Great information Tea.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

They are! So versatile and flattering. Thanks for watching, friend!

[@cookeka]

I totally enjoyed this video and have three of these shirt and wrap dress pattern. I need to get started on one of them

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

😊 let me know which one you decide and we can do a collaboration on a dress instead of a shirt. Maybe. Let me know

[@cookeka]

@@crumpetsteaandsewing Sounds good, I will look at a shirt dress option and let you know. Thanks.

[@lavadajenkins2955]

Great video! Thanks for all the info.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching it! Have a great sewing week!

[@sallygemmell7562]

So interesting, thank you for sharing this with us. I love these two styles of dress. Your research is amazing. You have really inspired me now - thank you again.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love these two styles of dresses as well. What's nice about the shirtdress and wrap is its figure flattering on any body type, shape, and height. They are truly iconic.

[@sallygemmell7562]

@@crumpetsteaandsewing that is good to know. Sometimes I am hesitant to try a pattern because I don’t know if it will fit or be suitable, so I am happy to hear you say these two fit any body type, shape and height. Thank you again and happy sewing xxx
