OMG! Sooooooo elegant! I LOVE matching dress/coat outfits - the ULTIMATE!

[@sharonsmith583]

Oh my gosh! This is so lovely! Love the swing coat sets. They are just gorgeous. My mom was a young woman in the late 50s and 60s and had some clothes like this. Such a glamorous Era and you really embody it!

[@ssg8051]

Your dress and swing coat are divine, and you look so perfectly chic wearing them. Happy Holidays and cheers, Ardith

[@kimharrison8380]

Just stunning. I'm in awe of your ability to match pattern and materials together. All the pieces you make suit you so well and look amazing. You're an inspiration that I could also one day master this craft. Thank you for sharing.

[@owlislike]

Swing coats are sooooo fantastic! It's instant chic!

[@kellybryson7754]

It is absolutely gorgeous with the coat open and the matching fabric.

[@cynthiasloan3867]

I am in awe. The workmanship is amazing and you look lovely. I grew up in the 50's and this was exactly what I remember. Sunday afternoons at Ying's Chinese Restaurant after church and all the ladies looked so polished. I love your channel

[@cherylhuot4436]

What a stunning outfit!! The color is absolutely lucious!

[@fourthchute]

Beautiful! I love a swing coat -I had a nice camel wool one and it was so comfortable but stylish. I love you inspired and final product!

[@liskimade]

Ahhhhhhh! So elegant, what a Look! That dupioni is such a beautiful saturated color and looks great on you. I cannot love this more

[@sharoncontini3284]

[@vanessaknight7129]

Absolutely beautiful

[@petapendlebury9024]

What a generous subscriber! You matched that coat fabric perfectly to take the whole ensemble to another level. That is a serious headturner ensemble whether now or back in the 50s. You'd have stopped traffic! 🤎

[@ariettasvintagelife]

What an elegant and beautiful outfit, I love it! And the hat is absolutely perfect for it! 😍😍😍

[@goldengirl478]

Nothing like a coatdress. So classy. Was always my go to for dress up.

[@annkoegel1595]

Lovely outfit. I would have never thought of using a housecoat pattern for the coat, but it is spot on.

[@karladoane7323]

Love your teaching style. And you already know your dress is exquisite and your workmanship too. You look absolutely amazing in it. Love how you improvised on the design for your coat. That would be something I would have done.

[@karladoane7323]

Curious to know where you find most of these Older type fabrics? Cotton is very hard to come bye these days. Wool has become almost obsolete..

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Woahhhhh!!!! It's SO GORGEOUS!!!!

[@mariposaflame4194]

Yay I was waiting for this video to drop ❤

[@kimt2au]

Oh my gosh. what an outfit. You look like you have been to a couture house. Fantastic work.

[@kathyjohnston4337]

Oh my gosh, amazing, super fabulous. Love that beautiful hat, and all your other special touches. You totally rock!!!

[@jenniferbakos6913]

Love the fabric ❤

[@millymarmalade7537]

"Pretty woman...walking down the street" (or through a forest). You are a vision to behold. My favourite surprise about this outfit was your hidden pocket with your monogram. I've never seen that before. Beautiful fabric choices to match your gifted hat. Thank you for making my day!

[@SewRena]

Thank you so much 💕❤️ I plan on styling the dress in the summer very pretty woman inspired.

[@millymarmalade7537]

Yes, yes and yes! I cannot wait to see you walking down "Rodeo Drive"! :)@@SewRena

[@katwitanruna]

Once again, stupendous!! Your videos make my fingers itch! That outfit is absolutely stunning!!!

[@Merry406]

Gorgeous once again! Thank you for leading the way, bringing classic American style back.

[@beatriceotter8718]

I am not generally a fan of brown but that looks GORGEOUS on you. And the hat is gorgeous, it looks like they came as a set!

[@pw529]

EVERY OUTFIT I SEE I KEEP COMING BACK TO THE SAME WORD, WOW, SUCH A GREAT DRESS, COAT, LOOKS LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TALENTED LADY, BRINGS BACK MY YOUTH WHEN I MADE ALL MY CLOTHES, WOW, WOW, WOW,

[@redders6858]

So elegant, absolutely beautiful ❤

[@blufaerie]

Absolutely beautiful. Like, straight out of a Gordon Parks photo! I’m glad you adjusted the collar.

[@patriniacopeland6891]

Stunning. That dress would make me feel as though I was on top of the world too!!!

[@kd1841]

I quietly squealed with delight when I saw the video had released cause I was out Xmas shopping with my hubby😂❤. I don’t think anyone noticed. 😆 I wore the plaid skirt today that I finished last week, it felt elegant shopping all dressed up. 😊 Thanks for another great video!

[@indoora]

I love your videos.

[@mssixty3426]

Your seamstress/dressmaker creations are so inspiring! Your detailed instructions make me think I can do this too☺️ Thank you!

[@Kittysews]

Wow this turned out so well I'm hoping to dip into coat making after I finish up my summer sewing with the goal to make a shorter swing coat and a nice jacket because I love my long vintage coats but they don't pair particularly well with biking most places 😅

[@moonbasket]

I love this look! The chocolate brown looks so good on you. Ugh, I want to sew so bad, but my machine is getting serviced. 😭

[@SewRena]

You need a backup 😂, and thank you

[@moonbasket]

@@SewRena Haha! Don't tell my partner. We barely have room for all the craft supplies I already have. 😂

[@tracybingham7739]

Wow! Simply gorgeous!!!! I wish you were close so we could have meet ups and wear all of our pretty dresses for tea or something.

[@opheliahamlet3508]

Positively sumptuous

[@kimwilliams5165]

Girl you look amazing! I love the fabric combo, and the hat. I wouldn't have thought of using a robe pattern for the coat, what a good idea.

[@mjohnson1741]

Wow, just wow! Another absolutely amazing masterpiece, you look FIERCE!

[@pw529]

I ALSO LOVED THE BACKGROUND AT THE END LOOKS LIKE A LOVELY PARK IN LATE FALL EARLY WINTER

[@teresahughes4895]

So beautiful and feminine. I wish women would begin to dress themselves with good taste and modesty. You are just so lovely.

[@jennydame]

I just love watching your sewing process, this look is so exquisitely beautiful!! All eyes have to be on you walking in with this perfect outfit 👀💕💕🥰✨

[@dottiemathews6853]

OHMYGAWWD SWEETIE! THAT OUTFIT LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU SO VINTAGE! ONLY THING THAT WAS MISSING WAS SOME GOOD DOO WOP MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND! LOVELY!!

[@st6457]

Perfect outfit

[@shevawnbasye7404]

You always look so well-dressed! Beautiful.

[@colettebates6482]

You are an amazing artist!!

[@lavonnemacfarland7380]

[@smallshortcake]

oh my god this is sewing goals, it's so inspiring to see such a dazzling and chic outfit! you absolutely killed it with this one and you SHOULD feel on top of the world because you've earned it with this look!

[@pattyb1120]

Love it! I wish your outfits were for sale in stores! I would wear it all the time!!

[@alisonbeiko2050]

STUNNING is all I can say!! You hit it out of the park this time SewRena ❤❤❤

[@quazylade90]

I wish I could give this video 3 thumbs up! This is so absolutely precious. You always make me wish I was more involved in my sewing 20 or so years ago so my skill level would be to the point I could make modifications to patterns and my wardrobe would already have the vintage pieces I want. I have that housecoat pattern and oh my if I can get myself together I would love something like this for my next birthday. The hat is perfect.

[@rosemarygrabowska9949]

Straight outta Dior! So good!

[@annamarie5988]

This set is so fabulous! Beautifully designed and sewn.

[@dorettawilson7726]

I love your style and ensembles!!! We were born in the wrong time that's for sure.

[@cathythomas6098]

I’ve always liked all of Lucy’s clothes that remind me of her but I’m a plus size woman I don’t think it would look good on me but you are gorgeous in it❤

[@H2SO4Queen]

I am so jealous of your seamstress abilities. I have sewn a homecoming dress before. I call my swing coat and matching dress, my Barbie coat. I love your style!

[@SewRena]

It’s absolutely a Barbie coat I want to make one for my Barbie.

[@lesliejacobs3605]

So beautiful!!! This is a show stopper

[@twinnish]

Gorgeous! Extra special outfit.
