Sewing a 1950s sheath dress| simplicity 1773

[@louislamonte334]

You look absolutely beautiful in this dress and in all the 1940's and 1950's styles you wear!! I hope through your influence more women of all races start wearing these beautiful fashions!

[@sross54]

So attractive and feminine ❤

[@shananigans0117]

Amazes me how many sewers say that they’re impatient when it’s a craft requiring patience 😂 y’all are funny

[@SewRena]

Hahaha it’s like when we learn the patience for one thing the impatience transfers to another 😂

[@lexitnute1306]

@@SewRena could you also do early 1960s sheath dresses too? No one has made that yet.

[@sross54]

Different experience for everyone.

[@cherylhuot4436]

That dress and the color are perfect for you!!! Positively stunning!

[@eveszokolai8939]

Wow! Stunning pattern, looks fabulous on you!

[@FromtheMPR]

Beautifully done! Looks fabulous! Well done.

[@gkennedy2998]

Your sewing skills impress me. Nicely done, Serena. You look lovely.

[@sunshinef7569]

This is so pretty, it looks beautiful on you. I love 1940s and 50s styles

[@tonikeith7497]

Gorgeous love the colour ❤ and the lining is gorgeous too!

[@MrGrifj1]

As is everything you've made, it's beautiful and elegant. I've always loved this Era of fashion but you make it cool to wear again. Thank you for expressing your time line in making the dress. It's nice knowing you don't have to finish in one day.

[@ladyduffield]

OH my gosh, GGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! I absolutely LOVE this!!! Superb job well done!!

[@TheChickBowdrie]

I haven't sewn in ages (since having my 3 kids) and I miss it. I bought a few of the patterns you use so I can follow along in the future. But I do love just listening to your videos (I don't watch them--- I listen while cleaning) and hoping your descriptions will seep into my mind when I'm ready to start again. I can picture what you're doing in the video. I love your vintage style and your video style.

[@nadiasews]

Thank you for the nugget about interfacing in relation to the seam allowance! ❤

[@virginiaconway9426]

Oh, Serena, I am absolutely starting to "hero worship", you. I fantasize that I had been raised maybe with a seamstress grandmother who taught me everything that you can do! You are so talented and amazing!!!😊🥰

[@ThundermansThunder]

Both the pattern and the color seem to have been created especially for you, because it is glorious on you! ❇💚❇The dreamy color puts me in mind of some cool, comforting, yummy summertime delights, such as key lime pie, or ice cream that is flavored with pistachio or jasmine matcha tea! 😋

[@donna9374]

This Gorgeous dress is so DORIS DAY❤❤❤

[@peacenow4456]

Love the color, fit, and final fashion show, well done!

[@Vivaldilover]

I am mesmerized watching you sew. It honestly slows down my heart rate. So calming to watch. I don't sew. I wish I did. The sewing terminology goes right over my head but I don't care! Keep videos coming!

[@linr8260]

Oh that's a really cute style! I love the way the bolero floats a little on the front, it subtly flirts with retrofuturist.

[@ShushLorraine]

The interlining is a new skill for me. I'll have to use that idea. What a classy looking dress. Very pretty on you.

[@freezo244]

A definite favorite! Great job!

[@nikolaskoulountis6200]

I really like your videos, thanks for sharing your projects with us!

[@shelleychristensen836]

[@monicagaitor6751]

Serena, you never disappoint.. beautiful from head to toes again! 🎉❤

[@barkkeepers]

Perfect dress, fabulous color. So much skill❤

[@joybellamy5561]

Of course Mrs SewRena you know I love your style you look 👀 perfect I love the color your hair looks great

[@Kristina-qu3wh]

I used to love to sew, hands too old now. That dress was gorgeous and looked beautiful on you, even if YOU say not a good hair day. Thanks for sharing.

[@leannwhite620]

Stunning! I was not fond of the fabric until you put it on.

[@RED-cy7ig]

This is such a summer dress. Just gorgeous.

[@janemarion6929]

I love it. Fantastic. You made all the right decisions.

[@SewSewDrew]

I’m love this color on you! The bow in the back!!! Perfect!!

[@lazykmountainhomestead3476]

You are such a joy to watch! Thank you! My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 12 and I never stopped! It's so rewarding. I don't make many clothes anymore, I make quilts and things now but my love of sewing is still there! ❤

[@7peacefrog]

This is so pretty, and beautiful on you! I love this time period. Thank you for sharing it

[@katwitanruna]

Looks gorgeous!! Color is great on you and I love that you add pearls and gloves!

[@Vivaldilover]

I like you love all things 50's. I was born in 1949 so I grew up with all these styles. My mother sewed beautifully.

[@glgree1]

Your videos are fascinating! I grew up watching my sisters sew their clothes in the 60s, so these retro patterns are amazing! I have always wondered why more people don't bring these classy styles back today!! Thank you!

[@nicoled2831]

I LOVE it! What a neat design, and this beautiful green is so perfect for spring 🌷💕

[@Cherylindiana2]

The dress turned out beautiful. I love that style on you.

[@LindaVanGalder-jt6yf]

Extremely beautiful dress and I love that color.

[@olderendirt]

Very cute. I don't think I've ever done a liner like that, but it would be a nice stabilizer and also be pretty, too. Thanks for sharing this.

[@janetshaffer423]

You bring the brightest light with you wherever you go. Thank you for sharing your sewing prowess with us. I used to make most of my own clothes. Then USA fabric Mills started closing and fabric prices skyrocketed and quality plummeted. I wish I lived closer to NYC where some fabric warehouses still are located.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Another beautiful dress which looks fabulous on you. Such a cute bodice. So original.

[@sidneanderson6657]

Gorgeous color! You look radiant and the construction is amazing. So elegant! 💜

[@peacenow4456]

I'm a lover of 1930's fashion. Have you tried that elegant era yet?

[@thayslenamartinez3215]

So beautiful 😊🥰 11:05

[@triciachancey1955]

Your dress is gorgeous and you are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@goeshen4359]

MY GOODNESS YOU ARE AWESOMELY TALENTED ❤❤❤❤❤

[@terrig7006]

Your dresses and other fashion creations are so stunning! Each time you model something new for us, I think, "Well, this is it, it's the most beautiful, she can't possibly top this." And, invariably, a few days later, you show up in another gorgeous, over the top creation that you "just ran up" that is runway ready! This sheath is marvelous; I especially love the bow detail at the bust, the neckline and the color! As usual, you have outdone yourself. Then, pairing the dress with the gloves for the reveal - well, it's just so classy and sophisticated (just like you)! Did you ever see the movie, "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire? I think you could so easily replace Audrey in all the photography sessions in Paris, modeling all your own fashions. You have the style, the poise and your clothes are all from the same era as the film, an easy swap! You and your fashions would become super stars! Of course, you already are a star, to me and to your other ardent fans! 🌟🩷😊

Love seeing your vintage clothing. Beautiful sewing.

[@rosemarygrabowska9949]

This dress is absolutely darling!

[@reginamoore6897]

Girl... You did that!!! Turned out lovely❤

[@MariePascal82]

I'm so glad to have found your channel... I collect 1950's vintage, and love to dress vintage, but unfortunately, I have no idea how to make clothes! When I see someone who can, I am extremely impressed! You look amazing and so talented too!

[@newcreature222]

Phenomenal Sewrena sewing is your super power,love,love,love the dress congratulations you look like a dream 👗 🧵🪡😊❤

[@quazylade90]

Oh Sewrena i love this. I think you find the best best patterns and fabric.

That turned out so pretty. Beautiful color on you, too 🥰

[@maryvukovich2419]

Your bring back memories of how I used to sew a lot of my clothes . since I stared quilting I haven't sewn anything to wear I think I'm going to be looking for patterns for me

[@elainelear4982]

This dress was a success. Nice color also.

[@lisajay9512]

The colour is stunning on you. Beautiful dress.

[@amyleigh9417]

Stunning! Fits you so well. Really admire you using scrap/what’s at hand. I have postponed so much waiting until it can be “perfect”. Your results are 😘👏

You have a passion and i need people like you

[@SonyBaby1]

Oh my gosh!!! So cute! That color is perfection.

Thank you 💕❤️❤️

[@pyenygren2299]

You look _extra_ gorgeous in this dress (you look gorgeous all the time, just so you know!). 🥰

[@shananigans0117]

This is such a cute dress! Love the cut- looks like a crop top over a pencil skirt and now I wish I knew how to sew 🪡

[@kimharrison8380]

Wow, that is very very cute. Well done. Always amazed at how you seem to effortlessly put things together. You should be really pleased with that.

[@chrysanthemum8233]

You look great in that dress. I really like how the bolero came out.

[@starbean4ver]

Love Love Love that dress it's so adorable!

[@blazertundra]

I just made a dress bag-lined with cotton sateen. That type of fabric felt like absolute luxury when I wore it. It might not be worth the extra cost to put it in every garment, but at least in the formal ones, I think it's worth it.

[@sandrahaws3149]

Wow. Love it and the gloves with it.

[@karenshaffer1511]

I’ve been wondering when you were going to post again - I was sure you were busy with something fabulous and I was right! This came out beautifully and you look great in it. A+

[@annamarie5988]

Something I really like is felled seams either by hand or flat felled seams with machine. I have also used bias binding finish on long seams of heavy wool for skirts and that works really well to stop fraying.

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

The dress suits you beautifully.

[@maryjanewhelan4734]

I can't sew either, except for hemming and minor alterations, but I have a love/envy relationship going on with SewRena's gorgeous creations!! 😊

[@redrose1721]

@@terrig7006, same. I can sew on a button or repair a tear if it’s in the seam and do some simple hemming that’s it……..😃😃
