    You are taking me back to the 1970's when I was a teenager.

    I made a pink Gunne Sax dress for my prom in 1972.

    Lauren it's gorgeous! You did an amazing job. The satin ribbon detail along the waistband really hit it out of the park.

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Před měsícem

      Aww thank you so so much!! I really appreciate it! I felt like that ribbon helped bring it all together. :)

    That fabric is just gorgeous, and the dress turned out so beautifully. Happy birthday, Lauren!

    It's absolutely stunning! 😍 Liberty Tina lawn is gorgeous to see, touch, and work with. Yes, it's pricey, but for a special occasion piece it's good to splurge. And the style suits it perfectly 👌 Well done! It's my birthday next week too, and I've just finished my birthday dress! Great minds clearly think alike 😁

    Happy birthday Lauren! Your dress is beautiful and you look happy and beautiful in it!
    I had that dress in the 1970s! The fabric was a little different but basically the same dress!
    I loved that dress so much and wore it to my prom as well as another prom that I was asked to and another formal dance!
    It brings back memories and I hope you enjoy wearing it!

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Před měsícem +1

    It's so gorgeous! Happiest of birthdays to you.
    I'm lucky enough to work near Liberty in London, so I was there recently looking at the Bridgerton collection. So many beautiful new prints! The one you chose suits you so well. Worth the splurge!

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you so much! How cool that you work near Liberty! I had the hardest time choosing from all the beautiful prints, but I'm so happy with this one.

    Your dress turned out gorgeous. The whole time you were making it I was hoping it was going to have a bow in the back. Have a wonderful birthday.

    I love that gunne sax pattern, it’s easy! I made myself a Red tropical 🌴 rayon Gunne Sax with it! 😂 -since I live in California. My favorite part is sewing on, all the long pretty trim. ✂️

    Happy Birthday Lauren !! Love watching your makes.... Can you please tell me what type of needle you use when you attach the satin ribbon ? I've always avoided using ribbon because I feel like they always pucker And pull when you sew them in! Would love to hear your expertise on this!

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you so much!! I actually just used the needle I had in my machine and I'm not 100% sure what size it was-- I usually will just test the needle on delicate materials beforehand to make sure it's not pulling, and this worked like a charm!
