Historical inspired wardrobe: Walk away dress 1952

I had seen a post recently on enchanted.rose.costumes Instagram which made me excited to make this dress too! It was an absolute treat to make this dress, it's so nice to actually make a dress I would enjoy in the long run!
For this video, I decided to use an old recycled curtain I had found the week before in a second-hand shop, it was a great surprise to find out that the fabric was a 100% cotton.
In the future I would still make some additional changes to the dress of I would ever remake this one again, The wrap dress on the back is still a tiny bit too long so it does spill out from underneath the skirt.
But all with all I had a great pleasure while working on this!

In 1957 my mother made this dress for herself and drafted a pattern for my 4 yr. old self. She put matching pockets on our matching dresses. The fabric was similar to the stripes on yours. I believe ours were cream with brown stripes. Mother sewed coffee cup on one pocket and a donut on the other. It is the first dress that I remember. Thank you for your video. Love your dress!

Just watching these walkway dress pattern videos. I was 4 in 1957 too! Just ordered the pattern so I’ll see when it arrives. Don’t recall the name, but I saw my mama make this or a similar style for herself. She made many beautiful dresses for me.

[@SirenaSpades]

There is a childrens version of the Walkway.

[@sueshuford8394]

That’s got to be the best bias binding work I’ve seen on KZbin. Beautifully done!

[@celestecostuming6432]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that 😊

[@amc8409]

I LOVE where you attached your pockets!

[@maryricketts7337]

Beautiful workmanship. It’s what’s missing in the other Walkaway Dress videos out there.

[@leilanigreenwood5064]

True great workmanship. But also great choice in fabric. Finding beautiful or decent fabric for apparel wear to sew has become a chore. That's why I don't see any

[@jodiloree3691]

The music, tea, candle, and talent awash refreshing. Thanku

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Those pockets are the best I've seen on any of these videos! Excellent styling.

[@celestecostuming6432]

Thank you so much 😊✨

[@jenniferfowler6713]

very pretty I love the fake button detail!

[@Tealeafsong]

The pockets are perfect! Thanks for the tip :)

[@charlyshay1013]

That was so enjoyable to watch! You made it look so relaxing and effortless. Love the music and photography. The secret pockets are Genius!

[@celestecostuming6432]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it ✨

[@cherylbowen4229]

What a relaxin video to watch :) Love the dress, hat and those high top shoes :)

[@charalson3023]

I do not sew - avoid it like the plague, lol! But this video popped up and because I remember this pattern and my Mother & I having several dresses I had to watch - so happy I did!! The dress, your creating it, the filming/music all combined to make for an enjoyable period of reminiscing- I’m now 67 and wish I could find a seamstress to make me several. Growing up in the military we lived in several European countries in the 50’s-60’s - military rules dictated females must be in dresses/skirts (no pants/shorts) when out in the “civilian population) so I grew up having “quick change day dresses” ready - Feeling the need to recapture that girly feeling and stop wearing yoga pants all the time! I love picking out fabric and making my own ceramic/porcelain buttons though!

[@elinannestad5320]

Hey there C - I too am 67, and set myself against sewing early in life, though my mother loved it, needed to do it, and was good at it. My feelings about sewing were a resistance to the lot of women then. My mother was not happy being sidelined and put down, and I did not mean to grow up into those shoes. Also, I am clumsy. She died 35 years ago and I miss her more than I ever knew I could. Now I like to sew. I'm rough and ready at it, but it feels good. Give it go! My failure rate is high, I have to admit. I too love fabric, and believe those black tights should be resisted: - bring on colour, patterns, shapes, and individuality!!!!

[@moiragreyland]

I love the innovations and improvements you have made on this dress. It is beautifully made. You are a wonderful artisan.

[@celestecostuming6432]

Thank you so much!

[@taralucas7172]

Very cute and the fit is amazing!!! Best fit of all the walk away dresses I’ve seen so far

[@sandyaledor]

New Sub....Loved the added pockets!!!🤩🤘

[@papercranes7230]

This calmed me down during a season depression esque episode :))) and although I don’t wear dresses this does inspire me for my own creations. Especially that bias tape being on the edges. So pretty!

[@looloo4029]

I think you did a fantastic job on the dress. Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@lizzy8787]

This one is my favorite of all the ones that I have seen

[@lisakuehn6436]

Best weight fabric I’ve seen for this dress. It has body.

[@celestecostuming6432]

I used a old curtain fabric for this

Thank you! Good luck on the dress, It's a fun project!

[@haiiksdbkslnflk2529]

love how it turned out!!

[@SirenaSpades]

This is an absolutely lovely video! I love your fabric selection.

[@jordisbraun4985]

I made several dresses from this pattern. The buttons I changed into snaps or ribbons oder adhesive ribbon. I am convinced at this pattern.

[@celestecostuming6432]

The Ribbon sounds like such a cute idea for tying it up on the front! Definitely will try that with a new dress

[@annholmes9650]

Love your dress, it is the first one I have seen 5hat has not had gaping armholes! Fabulous, wonder how you did it. Many thanks for your video, it is beautiful! X x x also your hand stitching- amazing x x x

Lovely!

[@sharonwerner2419]

I have tried this pattern before,think I'd be able to have a better go after seeing this.thank you

[@celestecostuming6432]

I hope your dress turned out beautiful!

[@louisegogel7973]

I’m still watching but wanted to suggest two things about the videoing: 1) please have your explanations last longer or be just a few words at a time to allow us to read them without having to pause the video. 2) please make the size of the words much larger and a contrasting color to whatever the background is in those frames. Many times half the words were white on white and not readable. I hope this helps, as I really did want to see what you had to say as well.

[@celestecostuming6432]

thank you so much for watching ✨ and your feedback I will definitely look out for the subtitles and explanations to be readable as well!

[@rebelbecky276]

I am wondering if it would be possible to add a short sleeve? I really don't like sleeveless but this dress does appeal to me.

[@kckazcoll1]

its great to see your sewing process, but that music became a bit tedious after a while :)

[@Cee1505]

wow ❤❤❤ I also loved your visitor : D

[@kray3883]

What keeps this from gaping (especially in the side area)? Is it difficult to get the front part on right?

[@rose77778888]

The darts make it three dimensional. But I know a lot of people have problems getting the fit right with this pattern.

[@satsumamoon]

theres elastic at the back, with a buttonhole.

[@janmcguire5268]

You are an amazing seamstress! Or sewist.

Would have enjoyed it more if you had talked. Sorry I didn’t stay to see how it turned out.

That's ridiculous. Why would you even bother coming back to make a dumb statement then??!

[@tutuldok]

[@bevposkitt7067]

HEMS ALL WRONG

[@satsumamoon]

I think one needs to stand on a t able and ha ve someone mark fhe hemline for this pattern. Id also make the inner skirt shorter than the outer one.
