The jumpsuit is gorgeous and fits you like a glove, a definite remake if I might say so. Love this theme, looking forward to seeing your final makes.

[@gemimalondon]

Thanks Sandra, yes I'm definitely planning on remaking the jumpsuit!

[@cheekymunki6]

That jumpsuit is *stunning*! Thank you for all the effort you to go collating those patterns! I would def go for a big floral print for your wedding outfit. Although the pink/red combo also sounds great. Can't wait to see what you make!

[@gemimalondon]

Thank you, yes I think I will probably go for a big floral!

I would love to see your approach to a color block occasion dress. Great pattern suggestions.

[@gemimalondon]

thank you!

I have no need for an occasion dress but it's fun to look. Great job on the research. I am currently altering a wedding gown. It is a beautiful cotton rayon lace outer layer, very sleek and slim until the slight flair just below the knee, and a small train at the back. Underneath it has 2 layers of knit fabric. It is such a simple design. The lace fabric is so beautiful and flattering. I actually think if the bride wanted it, it could be cut short and dyed black, the perfect LBD.

Hi Jennett, that sounds like a lovely dress and a great idea to convert it to a LBD too!

[@rondabellefontaine2759]

Love your content. I don't have an occasion to wear one of these dresses, but it's fun to watch. I could see the pattern you've chosen for yourself in a large floral on top with a solid coloured bottom. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Oh this video was lovely and got me sooooo inspired to make some new occasional wear. I am just beginning, but this made me want to take a leap of faith in myself. I was already on the fence about which vogue pattern to buy and I immediately purchased the Vogue top and skirt pattern that you said has a bit of a couture feeling to it. I'm going for it. Thank you!

[@gemimalondon]

@@amylolois hi Amy, that’s great to hear! Happy sewing and I hope the project works out well 🪡🧵

[@veragiles981]

Decisions, decisons! Lovely pattern picks. If you kept a 50s nipped in waist on your top, would you feel the need for a petticoat? These videos are terific, thanks.

[@gemimalondon]

Thanks Vera! yes I think I will need a petticoat to help the silhouette - my waist is quite big and it has never looked nipped in so I always have to create a bit of an illusion!

[@char1949]

I hope you don’t completely abandon pattern reviews- it helps me know what is out there. Exhibits would be nice.

[@gemimalondon]

Thanks Charlotte, I won't be completely abandoning pattern reviews but do want to include more on the channel, there will be exhibitions too!
