    Absolutely love this video. Brought me way back. I made this exact dress in 1963 to my high school prom. I made it out of pink satin with a lace overlay that was scalloped on the bottom edge. The lace fabric was 48 in wide enabling me to use it over the entire skirt with the embroidery going up from hem. I made the jacket the same with scallop along the hem. I was so proud of this and loved it so much, I shortened the skirt at the waist bringing the scallop up to below my knees. Then added spaghetti straps to the strapless top and wore it for graduation. I was able to wear it to friends weddings that next couple years. I'm 79 now, have no idea what happened to it but seeing this video gave me warm fuzziness. Thank you and you looked fabulous. ❤

    Beautiful outfit. You are very talented. I’m 74 years young and you remind me of the skills and talent my mother had. She made clothing including winter coats for her four daughters. Today is actually the 13th anniversary of her passing. Was a wonderful treat to watch you at the sewing machine it was like watching her. Thank you 🙏 I hope you continue to go out and wish you much success.

      A high school friend and I were talking about how it was when we were in high school back in the very early 70's. Our mothers made our clothes. We had a sewing chest at the house with extra fabric so when you needed something in a hurry you might be able to find some fabric and notions already on hand. It wasn't unusual for Mom to "run one up" a day or two before a special school event.

      My mother and grandmother started teaching me to sew when I was ten by first pinning patterns to fabric. I first helped grandma make one of her bib aprons and was so proud of it. By the time I was in high school I made most of my skirts, tops and dress's. I made all my children's clothes until the boys got into zipper pants. Sears "tough skins" for boy's were indestructable. I couls not match that.

      My groom of two weeks gave me a sewing machine ( Designer) for our first Christmas together in 1979. I made both my younger sister’s wedding dresses, most of my maternity clothes, baby/toddler/up to about age ten when my daughter decided she wanted clothing from a store. Our Swiss exchange students silk sage prom dress, my mother of the bride in a dark brown silk, many chair/sofa covers and sun shades. I love coming up with an idea and making it happen.
