[@sarahduplessis5295]

Aw, I love Gertie does Dress History! I love all the KZbin dress historians, but there's not a lot going on for anything after 1930, I'd love to see more of this!

The pinafore style is so beautiful. Thanks for the history lesson.

[@fallonduffy2049]

Would love this to be a series!

[@daniellecharland-gruhzit1177]

Love wearing aprons, especially pinafore styles. I also love jumper dresses and I never really connected the two. But, yes, you are right! Thank you.

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Hi Gertie! I love watching documentaries about history influencing fashion and the evolution of style and function. I hope you do more of these types of videos. Thank you!

[@robynjury4403]

Fabulous! Loved hearing about aprons and their influence, would love more fashion history.

[@michellewelch6013]

Golly, I grew up wearing pinafores, mom sewed then for all three of her daughters. She also had a wonderful hand made collection of hostess aprons. We all grew up stitching little handkerchiefs with embroidered flowers with fine rolled hems. Girl you take me back!

[@heathersarbo271]

Absolutely love the history class! Please don’t stop! 😘

[@TaylorsPiano67]

I really loved the video! Especially since my mom wore pinafores all the time growing up in the 50's, and now I'm sewing similar things in the Lolita style. It's amazing to see how fashion has evolved and I'd love to see more Gertie Dress History! ^-^

[@lillybellep8956]

You make fashion fun. I am way past this look but I love seeing you in it and it suits you so well. You are a fashion treasure! Thank you for bringing back some style again to women's clothes it has gotten very unattractive in the last few decades.We used to make those gingham aprons in home economics class back in the 60's had to embroider it too. Mine was lavender gingham. Great memory. Thanks!😄

[@redlupo6193]

Gertie! Such joy from your sewing help, your historian side and your love of the designs and patterns of the clothing I grew up thinking was the very height of glorious fashion. I thought it would be so great when I would finally become an adult and thus be able to wear those Pat Perkins dresses, lol! Oh, and I once owned that very half-apron pattern -- memory lane.😀😸💖

[@heidipucci9078]

I absolutely love your work! I've been binge watching all your videos and learning how to sew better! Thank you for adding alot of tips while going through the sewing projects! That helps me alot. I ve been wanting to make my own clothes for a long time but I don't like the patterns I find....until now! 💖💖💖

[@kushagrasilwal8799]

Hi Gertie, You looked really cute in the pinafore dress with the long sleeve shirt understanding it. How old is that Sewing Machine? I have a 1957 Ambassador Sewing Machine a few old sewing books some misc patterns from 1956 and an old dress pattern 🙂

[@ullajansen9462]

Love it 😍

[@deannacarter]

Oh Gertie I love Christine’s apron! I so badly want to make one! Any suggestions on a pattern just like it?

[@GertiesWorld]

She released a pattern for it on her Patreon, I think it was last year!

[@deannacarter]

@@GertiesWorld thanks Gertie. I’ve sent a message out to make sure the pattern is still available before I join. Thank so much for the Cobbler dress pattern. I’ve already made one so far. And will make another when spotlight get you fabric in!

[@EmeraldQueen206]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Gertie and Christine McConnell did a collaboration together?!

[@MaryMourning]

Joan Crawford wore a matching one with her daughter.

[@Hi.i.am.Joy93]

How awesome would it be if you were able to come up with a utility style jumpsuit like Rosie The Riveter????? I would jump on that in a heart beat.

[@Nellymynell]

Ooooo... Now I'm contemplating a mashup of the Presley Shirt with the Cobbler Capris as a boiler suit!

[@TerriMagoo]
