1950s capsule wardrobe | The sewing patterns you need!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I'm 76 years old; and, your dresses really do look like the dresses that were worn in the 1950's. Even your hair. Don't forget the hats.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

@@arvettadelashmit9337 oh my goodness, this is the best compliment, thank you so much! And yes, you're right, I do need to wear hats with my outfits! 😊💖💖

I’m a charm girl too❤❤love to see how you’ve styled your outfits

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Thank you very much! Charm patterns are so beautiful and Gertie really helped me learn to sew! 🥰🥰

[@fuyukazemi]

I LIVE for Gertie's deaigns! Im saving up so I can get them in printed form!

[@ariettasvintagelife]

She is truly amazing, I love all her patterns!!! 😊😘

[@fuyukazemi]

@@ariettasvintagelife it's the easiest way to step into vintage style fashion and have solid patterns in modern language vs the 50s sizing and sewing language that just assumes you're already a proficient sewer! I'm downloading the free ones and making a circle skirt this month!

[@Marlenasewing]

Thank you for this video! You definetly gave me some inspiration! I'm going to make the petticoat you mentioned! 😍😍😍

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Oh that makes me very happy! I look forward to seeing your petticoat 🥰🥰🥰

[@melodied4314]

The Dolman sleeve jacket is fabulous; but then again, all the items are fabulous. You look amazing in all of them.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

I love that jacket, it's so 50s! Thank you so much for your kind words! 💖💖

[@ingridpear1882]

First time on this channel. I just had to comment that the dolman sleeves suit you so well .

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Welcome to the channel! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the content! And thank you very much for the compliment! 🥰

So great to see this much interest in the vintage styles!!!! One important thing to keep in mind tho, the real vintage patterns are sized totally different, a vintage 12 will be about a size 8 in today's' patterns. If you aren't that familiar with enlarging patterns, then look at the current patterns, just about all the pattern companies have a section with "retro" patterns (exact duplicates of the original patterns) in today's sizing. They cover all eras and make life a whole lot easier!!!! Also keep in mind that the original patterns were designed to be worn with "foundation" undergarments (usually girdles) under the outer dress and even pants. Hope this helps, happy sewing!!!!!!!

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Thank you! Yes I do know that sizing was different and after a few trials and errors I know now what my size is in vintage patterns. But even if it's a bit more tricky to sew with original vintage patterns, I still enjoy it very much and I also learn new skills every time!

[@chlariepeace3093]

Your cat so cute and he or she came to look at you

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Haha yes, they always want to check up on me and see what I'm doing! 😊

He's Leo, one of my ginger boys! @@chlariepeace3093

[@VoxAtelier]

Gorgeous makes! You made the patterns fit you very very well. Love how they look vintage and very modern/classy at the same time.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Thank you so much! I think these pieces are timeless and I really enjoyed sewing them! 🥰🥰

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

I like everything but the Dolman Jacket is my favorite 6:18. Would love it made into a blouse and worn with a pair of the cigarettes pants.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Oh yes that sounds awesome. I may try to make it into a blouse, thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@Samanthalovestosew]

You’ve made so many fabulous garments! I love all of them and those high waisted cigarette pants are now on my to make list! Such a fun, fab 50s-style presentation too. I saw a certain little ginger person make his presence known on the cat (get it?! 😹) walk too. Also you have an amazing figure for one who says she spurns exercise! 💗🎀

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Haha yes Leo made a cameo appearance! Thank you for the beautifull words and compliments! I'm very happy that my mom gave me some great genes and I can get away without exercise. But I also think my diet of no sugar/dairy and meat helps a lot too! 💕❤

Όλα τα ρούχα είναι όμορφα , έχουν σπουδαίες λεπτομέρειες, κανένα δεν είναι πολύ εφαρμοστό (κοινό σφάλμα σε πολλές γυναίκες που αγαπούν το vintage) και σου ταιριάζουν. Η γραμμή του σώματός σου είναι ό,τι πρέπει για 50s, είσαι λεπτή και με απαλές καμπύλες. Θα σε παρακολουθώ.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Ω ευχαριστώ πολυ για τα καλά σας λόγια! Πράγματι θέλω τα ρούχα μου να κολακεύουν το σώμα μου και προτιμώ τα μη ελαστικά υφάσματα (με ελάχιστες εξαιρέσεις)! Χαίρομαι πολύ που θα παραλολουθειτε το κανάλι μου! 🥰

[@user-lv4ov5rp6d]

Thank you.

I honestly can't decide which item of clothing I like the most!!!! What an absolutely gorgeous wardrobe you have created for yourself!!! So talented!!!

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Thank you so much amica mia and even though I don't sew for others, for you I would make anything you like ❤❤

[@bassdivamtm]

[@marybehn3139]

I love your channel, I love this style. Could you tell us readers what size that you are, so I ( we) can see if these styles might look good on our size bodies

[@ariettasvintagelife]

@@marybehn3139 thank you so much! I think I'm a US size 6 (UK 10), but sometimes I may go up or down one size, depending on the fit of the garment... 😊

[@Carol120454]

Mad Men was actually set in the 60's. The early 60's clothes were still a lot like the 50's clothes. I still remember my mother's dresses with full skirts and crinolines. I wore Shift style dresses to school in the later 60's. Those styles have come back too.

[@ariettasvintagelife]

I love shift dresses, they are so flattering! I hope you have kept some of your mom's beautiful dresses! 😉

Hi! I'm a teen girl that's learning to sew and I would like to make the Timeless templates but even though it's free and digital the website is still asking me my address, name etc. and I doubt my mom is going to let me put that, is there any way I can avoid it?

[@ariettasvintagelife]

Hi! First of all I love that you're a teen and already learning to sew, that's amazing! And making a petticoat too!!! Unfortunately I don't know how else you could get this pattern. Maybe ask a grownup in your family if they'd be willing to download it for you... Or scout the internet for other free petticoat patterns... 😉😉

[@bruttoribes6410]

@@ariettasvintagelife Thank you, I will try that ❤️

[@VanessaGonzalez-pk7cw]
