Designer Brings to Life Her Grandmother's Sketches

An Illinois woman is bringing to life sketches made by her beloved grandmother. Julia's grandma, Georgette, dropped out of fashion school in the 1940s to raise her family. Not long ago, she discovered her old sketches and gave them to Julia. The 29-year-old granddaughter posted the timeless designs on social media. Now they are an internet sensation. So far, Julia has made nearly 30 of her grandmother's dresses.

Not just she's georgeus, Julia really looks like her Grandma when her grandma was young.

[@akumakibutsuji7999]

Julia really inherited her grandmother's genes.

[@Sypirias]

“Oh my goodness gracious!” Such a nice lady 🥺

[@dolliciousdarlingdreamers.]

‘’I’m so proud of you!’’

[@joshuatewolde1837]

They all look absolutely gorgeous!! But my question is: WHICH one of these fabulous dresses should be perfect for future Disney princess?!

[@cc6755]

if that grandma didn't drop she would be one of greatest fashion designers. I hope she doesn't have regrets for dropping school. Wonderful grandkid.

[@s.e.e455]

I doubt it. She might have wished she had the opportunity to go back to school later, but looking at her sweet granddaughter, I imagine she happily raised some lovely people ❤

[@Kirbyfan7209]

Grandma has fashion, and her granddaughter has some fashion skills!

[@trevorlawrence2119]

Her grandma has skills and creativity too

[@AndySaenz924]

That lady could have made an absolute FORTUNE off her sketches! They’re beautiful fashion designs!

[@fashiondiva6972]

If she made them in the 40s then she was ahead of Christian Dior and his famous “new look” dress style, aka the style that launched him into the stratosphere internationally post WWII. I’m sort of a fashion geek, lol. I’m a lawyer and judge by trade but fashion is my passion

I agree!

Absolutely

[@tanyaconlan6285]

People not only see grandma's talent but also Julia's talent!! I think she should consider a new profession... people would pay premium $ for outfits this beautiful.... so timeless!!!❤❤❤❤

[@KC-ed1dj]

I would totally wear some of those! I love 1940-1960s style. So classy! They should sell the patterns.

[@lisagriffith2097]

👏🏽That's a fantastic idea! I hope they do that!

[@eduardoaltamirano6239]

The head of fashion week should contact them and arrange a show for them. That would be one hell of a show. I'd watch it.

[@harley6222]

Grandma was so talented. She could have been a well known high fashion designer. Julia looks magnifique in those dresses.

[@sinead187]

What a special bond to have with your grandma.

[@Spellbound_Rose]

What beautiful outfits!! The bond she and her grandmother have is so sweet!! 🩷🌸

[@larainneestell700]

Grandma was before her time with some of those sketches

[@patriciaroberts308]

Little did Grandma know that gorgeous Granddaughter of hers would be bringing her designs to life and model them for all the world to see!!! PERFECTION!!! 🌟✨💖✨

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Julia's a knockout, and even more so, in her Grandma's designs. That huge collared LBD is a show stopper!

[@semmaville]

omg something just snapped in me... I want to sew!!! I will sew!!! I MUST sew!!!

[@cloeshay87]

You can do it! It's a lot more intimidating seeming than it actually is! Start small by stitching something ripped so you get the feel for it and then let your dreams free!

[@princessmustard9357]

You go girl!!!

[@Tchika]

Yes! Go for it! 😃🙌

[@bethanyoneal5789]

Do it! My mom learned to sew a few years ago

[@ninjamafia192]

Im learning how to sew too. I'm overwhelmed by the different types of everything there is tho, like fabric and presser feet

[@rubiferrer2419]

She's a great granddaughter, designer and even a beautiful model!! ❤ Pure Beauty both ladies ❤❤❤❤

[@chibiusa]

This is so sweet! I can't imagine how her grandma must feel! ❤❤❤

[@CacaPudding]

[@NellyVelaz]

[@petloverspy]

The second they showed that the grandma was still there and getting to see the fashion show of her own sketches I immediately started crying. Help.

[@hannahduggan3599]

I lost both my grandmothers. My paternal grandmother, Nana, died before I was born. My maternal grandmother, Grandma, died when I was 11 years old. Both women were only in their early 60's when they died.

[@Shay-i4n]

Omg imagine being 29 and still having your grandma, I wish I could say the same

I hope a fashion brand sees this and makes all her outfits into a line and calls it “Grandma’s Closet” ❤ (working with and compensating this family, of course!)

[@ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538]
