I Made Butterick’s Walkaway Dress|

[@Kristen242008]

This dress would look gorgeous with a Christmas plaid inside, and black velvet outside.

[@rosemarygrabowska9949]

Oooh, that sounds magical, with a poofy crinoline underneath?

[@lfleia]

That does sound beautiful, I felt like the choice of fabrics paired with the way the bias was done with a solid color is part of what made that look overall more like an apron, while is she had done it in the colors and fabric of the one she is wearing (super gorgeous) with the same fabric for bias, would look far more dresslike.

[@AHD2105]

That's what I was thinking but Christmas pattern with red velvet for me.

[@RyleighsMomma09]

That sounds beautiful

[@vanessashaw5365]

Absolutely with a red crinoline barely peeking from underneath.

[@penelopesheehan5927]

I am old enough to remember this dress, and I can second your thought that this was a dress to be worn around the house! In fact, it fell into a category that no longer exists: the housedress! The housedress was for working around the house, where so much of a woman’s life and work took place, but not intended for public outings. In my memory’s eye, I see women wearing curlers and pincurls while wearing it around the immediate neighborhood, surrounded by other women and children. A pattern that was quick, easy, required no repeated fittings, and slipped off in an instant so a woman could change clothes to leave the neighborhood or greet her returning husband was so useful! It seems like centuries since women in North America lived this way, but it was within living memory.

[@cherylhuot4436]

I think if it had been made in solid colors or maybe a small print on the inside and solid on the outside it wouldn’t look so much like an apron. Your kitchen, PJs, other walk away dress, and style are absolutely spot on perfect! That aqua sewing machine is really stunning! What a treasure. Glad I found your channel.

[@ShanMarie1974]

I was just going to say this exact same thing.

[@felisd]

Me too! These two prints are cute, but I wouldn't have put them together in one dress like this. I think even a solid colour on the inside and the plaid on the outside would have worked.

[@kittenkorleone2918]

The fabric choice was lacking.

[@mesquite1333]

I bet if there was a petticoat under this it would look better as well.

[@sabresister]

I think the bias tape is making it look more like an apron too. It is cute though!

[@SilentNoMore64]

You look like a classy woman of that era. Your hair and lipstick, also add to the era. The dresses are just beautiful. Wonderful job-!!!🤩

[@SewRena]

Thank you 💕💕

[@askedgeorgia17]

Hi, I remember my mother wearing this exact dress! Back then they had house dresses which they cleaned in took care of their families in and wore if they had to run to the shops. If you turned the binding to where you couldn’t see it , the dress would look casual but more dressy. Material makes a big difference also from casual to dressy.🥰

[@brandylou9132]

Me too! Had orange and green colors in the fabric pattern

[@tackycrafter3297]

Or wear a sweater- it looks so cute on her- it’s ashamed it will not be worn😄

[@Ailuj234]

The walk away dress is gorgeous . I was born in the late 1950s and I remember these dresses. Personally I find them adorable.

[@HJKelley47]

Actually, love the walkaway dress. I think the fabric you selected reminds me of an apron from the mid-to-late 50s. Your sewing skill and clothing style continues to leave me awestruck.

[@Gitn2it]

I also did not like the fabric choices. I would have loved to see the dress done in black and white. I enjoyed the video!

[@HJKelley47]

@@Gitn2it : I would love for her to make another walkaway dress, but with a much better fabric choice.

[@SB_McCollum]

It would make an excellent dress for Christmas morning if you are hosting visiting family, fully dressed but in a deliberate vintage style perfect for serving breakfast and opening presents. Wear it thru lunch, then dress down into stretch pants for watching a football game and going back for thirds.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

I think it's also the bias tape.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

I agree. The walk-a-way dress should be two solid colors or a print and a solid, but not two prints. She even compares it to the dress she's wearing... a solid with a print. Additionally, the walk-a-way pattern needs to be patterned on both sides of its material. She chose a one-sided print. Any wrap-around is going to look apron-like with those choices. That said, I personally still love what she did, even with its more casual look.

[@shirls2417]

I love the dress pattern. I think the fabric is what made it look and feel like a apron.

[@usalas4]

The dress you're wearing is stunning! I think this Walk Away dress challenge looks so much like an apron because of the material so many people are choosing (like quilting cotton) and the bias tape edges. I'm getting ready to make mine but chose a flowing fabric, and will eliminate the bias where I can. (I definitely want a dress I can wear often). One last thought, always such a fan of your accounts!

[@lamann2437]

I agree. The fabric, the print, and the bias tape gives it more of a homespun apron-y feel. I think a black/white combo, maybe in a silk shantung or raw silk would really elevate it.

[@lann8293]

I agree. I would be interested to see a version of the dress that's made with more formal fabric and coordinating bias tape made with the same fabric.

[@mellie4174]

All the bias can be eliminated and replaced with a facing. But i think if people also bought nice bias that's not rough cotton, But lace, silk, the beautiful foldable elastics made their own matching bias it would look stunning. It's really amazing how much fabric choice changes the look of a garment.

[@chocomallows2559]

Check out The Van Maren Family channel, she did a plain dark blue using the 4790 pattern (reproduction of the original). I think her dress looks amazing and formal enough. She also didn't do the full circle skirt but it still looks lovely.

[@sonialinsey8083]

Eh I think those flour sack style patterns are probably appropriate for the era. My guest is a lot of poorer women with fewer skills and time and resources made this dress along with the middle class. I think it’s pretty but I don’t regularly dress in vintage style.

[@sanguinelynx]

I think my grandmother had the same sewing machine. She used to sew all my mother's and aunt's dresses in the 1930's, 40's, 50's, and into the 60's. She stopped as she grew too old to do other than darn because her arthritis pained her. She would love to see people like yourself keeping the patterns and projects alive.

[@julianachandler2975]

I love that you went for the full vintage experience with the sewing machine ❤

[@ArianaBauer]

I made this dress in a dark blue with big flower knit print. I modernized it a bit by shortening the front (i actually had to in order to get the pieces cut due to fabric limitations) and I LOVE This dress. I think the colors you chose might have been a reason for why you felt it looked apron like. I made mine in one print the whole dress with a solid color for the binding. I honestly get so many compliments when i wear mine and "where did you buy it" a lot.

[@megandutton6268]

I love the idea of shortening the front. I’m going to try that when I make it.

[@sharonsparks577]

What the pattern your wearing

[@jamessanders8895]

It would be great if you starting s sewing and crafts channel! 🎉

[@zombiedoggie2732]

I am thinking the same. I would of chose one pattern and paired it with a solid.

[@ariadams3290]

I came across this video, and I have to tell you the first thing I thought was "oh my gosh...it's 1965 again!!" My mom wore her hair like that when she was at home; rolled up in little prickly curlers, and wrapped in a floral scarf... Thanks for the walk down memory lane...my mom just passed in April so this was pure nostalgia ❤️ And of course, I subscribed...😊

[@kristylagugua3874]

I completely agree that this pattern has an apron feel. I rushed to watch your video because I thought if anyone could make it look like a real dress it would be you. But there is something about the way the top of the bodice fits....neckline...arm opening or something. Bless you and thanks for the video.

[@edithmonteith9557]

We'll done. It's beautifully done. I never fancied this pattern though. Too aprons as you say. Still well done. We had it made on our uk tv programme Great British Sewing Bee. Still looked like an apron.

[@amc8409]

I bought both of these patterns a while back & made one of them. I felt they'd be great reversible dresses so that's how I intended to make them. I haven't made the Butterick dress yet, but the other one didn't turn out looking the way I hoped.

[@nancyhowell4505]

Gorgeous fabric choices! 👏👍👍❤️

[@nicholewarren4229]

I made one and im thinking about playing around with some extra darts to see if that helps with the fit

[@EgoKillerPodcast]

You’re the first person I’ve seen make the dress look good! I’ll give it a try when the 2$ butterick sale comes around again. I was fully focused of your hair for most of the video, so adorable!

[@misstweetypie1]

I just want to remind you that she didn't use the Butterick reproduction pattern, she used a traced version of the original (which I doubt they sell on Butterick's website). If you prefer her version of the dress to other youtubers', you'll want to try to find the traced original pattern, not use the reproduction even if it's a good price. :D I agree that her version is the best I've seen, it just fits her better. Edited to add that I just saw a video by Stephanie Canada where she compared the OG vintage pattern and the reproduction, and they were very different!

[@dorothydecesare1607]

Hi there, I have been watching the different submissions for the walk away dress. Although you personally do not like how your dress turned out, I would have to say , from where I am viewing, it looks beautiful on you. It was only when you showed the apron side by each with the Walk away dress that I could understand your point of view. Regardless, change the material, change the Or eliminate the bias binding, and the dress would have a different vibe,. Quite honestly just about anything you whipped up would look great on you imo! Loved that you showed us your turquoise sewing machine.. it is a real treasure for sure! This challenge was such a success imo in bringing together sewists from all walks of life, really enjoyed ‘meeting’ you! 😊❤😊

[@trixier6505]

I think the walkaway dress is darling, and I think the red dress you're wearing is stunning!

[@nigelbarker8726]

I never ever thought I'd be watching a dressmaking video, but I found this really interesting. Also that old machine is a real gem, and I liked how you described freeing up the action.

[@j.m.4449]

That walkway dress reminds me of what my mom would call a house coat or house dress. It is cute.

[@bobhanson7566]

I love it!! I love how they had a dress for everything back then.

[@danabaldwin544]

Actually I’ve been watching all the Versions of people making this and although I’m not fond of the fabric I think yours looks the best it’s the most flattering and I think you made it quicker than anyone else. I think you’re a marvelous seamstress. I am very impressed by your work and it’s really fun watching you make things

[@SewRena]

Thank you so much! Some speedy sewist made it in under 2hr. They must sew really fast by hand. The hem was the longest part for me

[@cazy314]

❤

[@Readiculous21]

Same

[@rhondablackburn3713]

Yes hers is the best ! ❤

[@IamDrNana]

The fabric choice made your dress look like an apron. You did an excellent job.

[@blktauna]

I think it would make a nice XMAS morning breakfast outfit! You are so cute in everything you make! :)

[@sonialinsey8083]

Why did I never think of painting my cabinets MULTIPLE COLORS?! That’s genius, you could do it with any colors scheme!

[@rebekahtowers7130]

In my prior kitchen, I did my cabinets in plum, pumpkin, & deep sage. My daughter said she felt like she was dining in a Panera, but I loved it.

[@emilymcdanel538]

I just love everything about this video. Your cabinets, counter canisters, your machine, etc. I think the dress turned out cute for what it is, and I enjoyed your breakdown on what it took to get it done. It does very much look like a cobbler apron in the end BUT a cute one! Yours would make me want to wear it while Christmas baking all day. Wonderful video!

[@SewRena]

Thank you so much 💕❤️

[@claudiamiller7730]

You did a GORGEOUS job on your Walk-away dress!! And that sewing machine is --mmmm-wha!! - chef’s kiss fantastic!!! I’ve been hunting the local markets for an inexpensive temp replacement for my Pfaff that’s in repair right now. OMGolly - I’ve been bitten by the 1950’s-1970’s vintage machine bug! They are so cool! I learned to sew on a beautiful 1940’s Art Deco style Necchi in a massive mahogany cabinet and while I don’t have space for something that grand - I’d love to find a gem somewhere to repair and give some new life to. Wish me luck - and joyous sewing to you….and bless those little kiddies - they grow up far too quickly!.,💕

[@conniewojahn6445]

My first impression when I saw this on Stephanie's video was that it was an apron. As popular as this pattern was when Butterick first offered it, my mother, supreme seamstress who could sew anything, didn't have this pattern in her collection accrued over decades of sewing. I'm guessing she saw it as an apron and she had apron patterns she really liked, and this pattern takes a lot of fabric which her frugal housewife mentality considered unnecessary. You did a fantastic job on your dress, love the colors and your expertise.

[@SewRena]

Hahah your mom had the right idea I just had to try it to see if I would have been that housewife in line for my copy😂

[@SF-tl4jk]

The thing that I liked about that extra fabric is, it's got plenty of room to flex through body changes... But still, I couldn't see myself using so much extra fabric either, lol. I do wonder about using a jersey knit for the drape, and going with an intentionally unfinished edge, or maybe just a single zigzag, and a casual, overlapped seam style for the speed it'll work up. I've got some really cheap jersey sheets that I've been planning to do something housedress-like for home wear.

[@SultanaP]

I love the dress on you as well as your fabric choices! You have amazing sense of color choices and I love the bright!!

[@whooshr5588]

The dress you’re wearing looks wonderful on you. I don’t know how you landed in my suggested videos but am so glad you did. I love your serene and gentle vibe and your hands are so lovely to watch at the machine:). Thank you! P.s. you’re very pretty!

[@SewRena]

Awww thank you so much I’m very happy you are here. Welcome 💕

[@joeyc.4506]

Yes, I agree with you on everything. I definitely love the dress she's wearing better. I have my mother's old sewing machine and I used to use it for small things. I would love to be better at making things as she does.

[@ChellyWood]

It was fun to listen to your description of the sewing machine while we watched you sew. Also, your figure is so darned cute, that honestly, you make the dress look 100% more fashionable than an apron. Thanks for posting the video. It was really fun to watch!

[@christinebrady6842]

That machine is amazing! Actually, I love your whole vintage vibe.

[@NinaKeilin]

We made that cobbler apron in sixth grade sewing class. 1967. Sewed complete,y by hand.

[@cindyneel328]

I've watched alot of these dress challenge videos. I think your dress is the prettiest and best fitting of them all! And your camper coffee cup. So cute

[@SewRena]

Awww thank you so so much 💕💕 I totally love my fabric I’m thinking I’ll make a Christmas quilt with the dress

[@carab7783]

Found your channel quite by accident. You are amazing! My mother used to make these patterns for herself & me when I was a child in the 60’s OMG what a memory you brought back!🧡

[@susanthoms6268]

Using the red plaid and floral makes the Walkaway Dress really cute. I would use it for a house dress or maybe go to the store or take the kids to the park. It is kind of apron looking but cute.

[@jonnigoulding4950]

I think it's the bias tape that makes it look apron-y. The one you are wearing when you are putting the projects on the forms is LOVELY. Loved the tour of the machine and your kitchen is adorable!

[@j3nn1987]

The dress came out really pretty! Looking at it, I wonder if the bias tape you used played a role in the apron feel. What if you made bias tape out of the main fabrics instead of red? Would that perhaps make you feel better about how it turned out? Either way, you did a great job putting it together. The vibe you created with this video is on point, too. I love that you used your retro machine. I hope you decide to use it more. It really is stunning!

[@annethomson4920]

I think the same

[@cheryldeville9211]

I agree that both the dress you made and the one you're wearing are beautiful! Fabric choice makes such a difference in the final effect, doesn't it? The printed cottons create a casual & fun apron feel. Black & white in a linen would be stunning and stylish! Love your vintage machine! The colours are gorgeous.

[@beverlywilliams7278]

If i was still teaching, i would totally wear the dress you made to work. I think its adorable!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

I like that dress and the way it looked on you! You may want to keep as a housedress to wear around the holidays? It's very cute and because you're so slender and everything looks great on you, I think the dress looked really nice on you. Love your kitchen and all the retro touches. THAT SEWING MACHINE IS A THING OF BEAUTY! I reminds me of a turquoise and white 1955 T-Bird, an absolutely stunning vintage car, my dream vintage car for many years! You had to be so thrilled to find that machine!

[@SewRena]

Thanks I have been learning how to make quilt blocks so I think it will be better off in a quilt since I do love the fabrics I went with. My mom actually saw the machine at a thrift store and bought it for me so it really cool to be able to use now. Thanks for watching. 💕💕

[@sandrakramer1520]

LOL. My first car (c 1964) was a red 1955 Thunderbird with a white removable hard top. I was 18. When my daughter (born when I was 21) made a derogatory comment about her first car when she was 18 I countered with “For YOU I had to give up my T-bird because your playpen didn’t fit!”

[@hellodolly9879]

I'm so jealous of anyone who can sew. The dress is very vintage. I think it looks beautiful. Great job.

[@rettaantwine5506]

Love your house!! Your walkaway dress looks better on you than anyone else’s that I’ve seen. I really liked your choice of fabrics. Loved your kitchen and the wallpaper on your walls very vintage, it is beautiful.

[@ToriLynnH]

Of all the walk away dresses, yours is the best and you look the best in it!

[@johannaholmgren8088]

I do love the walkaway dress concept,but after watching several different seamstresses do their version and with not so much love at the end for their product, I'm reluctant now to make one myself. However I think every single dress was beautiful, and it's difficult for me to see the flaws or whatever it is that so many have seen. It's true that the Christmas prints give the dress an apron vibe, but it would still be a cute dress to wear at Christmas for brunch or whatever.

[@sgw3612]

imo if the part of the dress that wraps around the front were lined, and if ppl had a crinoline skirt to wear beneath, those two changes 🤷🏻‍♀️might🤷🏻‍♀️ elevate the dress enough to look "not apron." Although capped sleeves would sure help, too! lol.

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

I would like to see this made in a flowing material, maybe something mixed with chiffon which I think would make it look a whole lot different. Oh, and if the piece that come around the front were lined that would be better

[@joannashworth2396]

This is stunning. Please wear it! You are beautiful. This is a week-end picnic and walk-in-the-park dress. I think your husband would honored as you walk arm in arm with such a lovely dress.

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

That is a beautiful sewing machine! I think your dress turned out really pretty and I was sure if anyone could get it done by lunch it was you! I love the walk away dress but I do think of it as a casual dress kinda like 50s leggings and a t-shirt 😅

[@SewRena]

Thank you 💕💕

[@calluna7065]

Haha, maybe the only way one can do it in that amount of time while watching their kids, is to cordone them off in one room with no-spill cups of water and unlimited snacks.🤣🤣🤣 That’s how my setup looks in my mind’s eye.😅

I think the dress is flattering. I love this vintage house dress.

[@christywilliams5636]

This looks lovely! Great job. As a mom who is learning to sew I appreciate seeing someone who includes those details.

Same here! I love her!!!

[@cherylhuot4436]

One tiny hint from a long time sewer. It was a lesson I learned way back in the 60s! Always press your seams as you sew. My projects always looked “rough” when I started too. The steam iron is as important as your sewing machine! It makes the difference between your creations looking “Homemade” or not. It only takes a bit of time as you sew, but the results are amazing. Good Luck!!

[@TruFlyFox]

@@cherylhuot4436 thank you for that tip! I will follow it. 🥰

[@denicecassell9541]

[@ColleenMarble]

I think the secret to this dress is fabric choice. I agree that most of them look like aprons, but I can see that maybe certain fabrics might be more or less dress like, and adding a petticoat would help with the lines of the dress. I haven't made one yet but I do want to, and I plan to alter the shoulders to be narrower which might help. But I do think it looks lovely on you.

[@JMAC123]

WELL DONE!!!!! Just like the 60’s …classic!!

[@divinenurturerjanenecummin2020]

What a joy!! I grew up in the 60's with my mom making amazing dresses... Your dress was beautiful! I feel two solid colors would make it appear less Christmas apron-esque. However, you rocked it!

[@ElegantPaws01]

The dress you are actually wearing at the end is lovely.

[@jessicat3951]

I think the prints and bias tape choices are really important with this dress. Also, these vintage pattern styles look best on hourglass figures. In absence of curves, you need to move the waist up or reslope the pattern.

[@edennis8578]

Foundation garments gave women a much smaller waist than most women could possibly have naturally. Looking at 1930s bridal ads once, and comparing them to modern ads, I saw the difference immediately. Their waists were tiny! Not by nature. I told my husband that they were trussed up like Christmas turkeys.

[@IowaKim]

Love the video. True story: my mother made a sack dress (in the 50's). A year later she went through a divorce, and soon after mom's teenage daughter, in a snit, moved out to her dad's and took a bunch of clothes, including that sack dress. Mom had started working in an office of a local factory. Mom's ex remarried and that woman also worked at the same factory. She showed up in mom's sack dress! Boy, the chattering that went on that day in the office!

[@blufaerie]

Omg I love that machine!!! I keep seeing this pattern on my timeline. I’m glad you did it! I actually like your the most. I agree that the bias tape makes it look like an apron. I do like the reproduction you are wearing.

[@tabandken8562]

I would totally wear this as a kitchen apron. It covers all your clothes. Especially good for when you're prepping in the kitchen wearing other good fancy clothes.

[@leighbee13]

YES! APRON! That’s exactly it! I think the fabric choices we see for this dress don’t help, mostly quilting cottons and that really adds to that feel. I’d like to see an all in one colour viscose version and see if it has the same issue. I mean it’s similar to the zadie jumpsuit in the bias bound edges,minimal tailoring and grown on sleeve and those don’t have to feel apron-y…

[@kimberlybusby5632]

The concept is fine. The fabric choices of the day lends to it's uniform look.

I think you look beautiful in it! You could wear it as a house dress.

[@robertalenski8689]

Your choice of fabric is perfect!

[@jspaingreene6350]

Love that dress - I would wear the heck out of that in black for every day

[@TracyW-me8br]

You’d look adorable in anything but I agree. The pattern reminds me of sailboat sails. Like how Ariel had to use the sails tied with ropes when she came out of the sea.

I adore that sewing machine!!! Its a work of art!

[@joyparks6256]

The machine is a jewel to look at, I agree.

[@nancybrown8975]

I think it's lovely and looks great on you. Your sewing skills are superb.

You reminded me of how my Mom and I would go to the fabric store, buying patterns, fabrics, buttons, patches, etc. My Mom could literally do anything! The World is better for her having been in it and less so, now that she is in Heaven. She deserves Heaven, if anyone does! Love you Mommy! I'll carry on all that you tried to instill! Give hugs and kisses to everyone! I'll see you when it's time. Until then... trying to make you all proud!

Lady you are the best. I love your dresses. The way you retro dress I love that.

First time visitor here. Your video is wonderful, quiet background music and your voice balanced so I can hear you. You have an awesome voice, your commentary is well thought out and great instruction quality. That machine is just beautiful! What a treasure! Im hooked! I grew up sewing all my own clothes, mom taught all five of her daughters to sew. You are correct about the walk away dress looking like an apron. Makes me recall the kind of dresses my mom wore around the house. I didnt know what it was called. Your are an inspiring seamstress! Thank you for sharing your skill. Lord bless your day!

[@BumbleDee805]

When you compared the apron to your dress, I better understood your point because if the similar necklines. You did a marvelous job. The dress you wore was incredible and you look fabulous in it! And I could not help noticing your wall treatment; the mushrooms caught my eye- so precious.

[@nancyleader6967]

I have enjoyed your video thoroughly. You are just so precious.🌺🇨🇦🤗💜

[@mnprlgrl79]

Yes, totally see the 'apron' within the 'dress.' I have to say, that your version became a fabulous holiday apron!

[@cecetv87]

OH MY YAH. I love the aesthetic. This vintage look is EVERYTHING I'm here for it.

[@cecetv87]

Side note: I definitely need this walk away dress pattern 😍

[@pinkonesie]

Yeah, I think it's the contrasting trim that gives it that apron-y feel. The line of it is great on you, though, so I'm glad you made a similar style dress.

[@Jettypilelegs]

I love the pattern. Red satin with black velvet over would be gorgeous for the holidays.
