Gotta love those "we were going to toss this, but you can have it" rescues. That's how my dad ended up coming home with a 7.5 yard bolt of royal blue velveteen for me. He was helping someone clear an old storage room and thought it was just some cotton (because of how it was folded and rolled onto the cardboard), so he rescued it for me to have mock-up fabric. When he gave it to me, I unrolled it to measure it and gasped so loud I scared my cat. Still haven't done anything with it, two years later, because it needs to be the elusive Perfect Project!
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "flapper dress 1920s pattern" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Panadarson Flapper Falbala - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
I've never seen the 20's style on anyone not a size 2 and stick straight. I always avoided it because of that. This video could convince me to try it now! That dress looked incredible on you!!!
The Closet Historian has also done a 1920s dress and looks stunning.
I spy a tiny Costuming Drama in the corner! đ
This is making me want to give another 20's dress a try, so comfortable. I love the story behind the bit of black lace on your undergown!
Morgan Donner I saw your comments so had to be on the lookout as well. đ„°
Waste not, want not! đ I have a few pieces of trim from that show that are still waiting for their time to shine.
Morgan - I found your channel through your video on the 1-hour dress! :) I ended up making two - love them both and friends were so impressed. They had no idea how easy it was!
me: man its 1am I should sleep
enchanted rose costumes: drops this
me: nah i dont need sleep
I'm sorry đ
This is totally me. Lol
And me
Love it!!
I love this! It was nice to see how the dress looked (btw it looks amazing!!) on someone who isnât the âideal 20âs figure!â Iâve only ever seen 20âs wear on very thin, flat chested people and it was nice to see that a 20âs evening gown can look nice on someone who is more me shaped! Iâm going to a 20âs themed NYE party and this video has inspired me to try and make one for myself to wear!
did you end up making the dress? đ
the 1920s are my absolute favourite fashion period I just adore the silhouette
The dress is beautiful! I also think the underdress would make a really easy, comfortable hot weather dress.
Oooo.... our girl can sing!!!
We have a New Years party every year and this year we're bringing back the 20's, so I am making a slip and overdress based on the One-Hour Dress. I have a lightweight black satin for the slip and a gorgeous blue burnout lace for the overdress. Here's hoping it comes out nice! Also, I'd be very interested in your research on 20's fashion for "curvy girls". I love the silhouette, and hope to make several more dresses for everyday wear.
Loved the singing!
Please do a video on robe de style.
*BREAKING NEWS* MARIKA CAN S I N G HOLY

Those delicate french seams đ. That's the content I'm here for.
It's fabulous! I do 1920s historybounding so I love seeing other costumers do 20s.
I can confirm that applying velvet to chiffon is an absolute nightmare.
My goal is to one day be as confident as you at free handing the rotary cutter! Thanks for another fun project đ
I believe in you! I practiced by drawing straight and wiggly lines on fabric and trying to follow them the best I could!
Oh, i didn't know that was a thing, a cocoon coat. Kid has a cardigan draping that way. We call it the cocoon. đ€
And wow, what a surprise, you singing at the end. Nice!
I have a cardigan shaped like a cocoon coat! Comes to mid calf, and is my favourite light weight cardi!
I love this 20's gown. Holy Easter egg Batman! What a beautiful voice to go with a beautiful lady. â€
These videos are so calming. I could watch sewing videos all day.
I enjoyed the montage of French seams AND the music choice! :D I also appreciated the reminder that "women in the 1920's came in all shapes and sizes, just as we do today."
Marika, what a great video. Thanks always for being so clear in your instructions and filming! 1920s are a decade I just haven't put much thought into because like you said, it's not really flattering to my figure. However, I am intrigued enough to study every day fashion trends of that time. Cocoon coat...I have a picture of my great grandmother wearing one - I wonder what they feel like on? Hmmm....
Blessings to you!
Oh I forgot, I have a picture of my Great-Aunt wearing a cocoon coat!!
1920s isnât my favorite either, but your dress is SO pretty! Thanks for sharing!
Also perfect timing, Iâm sewing a dress as well, so I got to watch this as I sewed!
Nice to finally see a 1920s style dress on my own body type!
1920s is my favourite era in clothing! I think it's because of all the sequins they used towards the end of the decade!!
The dress you made is stunning!! Xx
Aaah your colour palettes are always sp pretty! That dress is a dream â€
I love what the overdress did for the silhouette. I'm pear shaped so I have no idea how to make that silhouette look right on me đ
Came here after hearing so much from Bernadette Banner :) Glad the join a fellow theater kid in the costuming community!
Stunning. Just love the way the dress moves. Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing with us,
Yes, you need a cocoon coat I totally agree, and I need one too. lol ... They are so beautiful with the lush roll of the shawl collar.
I have to admit that when I watch your videos I find myself looking at your books. I love the Outlander series as well. And I have many of the same books as you do đ Thank you for sharing your sewing skills and projects with usđ€©
i love the colour of this beautiful dress it's so elegant
Lovely project and very lovely voice, Marika! Thanks for showing us!
You make the 1920âs look good! Well done!
Just in time! I've been staring at the fabric that is my future NYE dress. I really like how yours turned out. I think I'm going to abandon the robe de style plan for now and just do something more like this. Thank you! You look lovely!
Thank You for taking the time to share you beautiful work, the ending was great!
I love how thorough and knowledgeable you are in your sewing! Well made videos, and great singing voice!
Your voice ... marvelous! The singing sewer! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž Merry Christmas đđđ
The slip came out so good! Going to watch over and over till I understand how to.
You look adorable in your creation! Loved watching this!!!
This is such a good stash busting project omg. I love how light and airy the chiffon layer turned out! I think after getting through the whole video, I'm going to need to try french seams at some point. They make everything look so clean!
Huzzah for the stashbusting gorgeousness! It looks beautiful on you. That blue is a great color for you! Can't wait to hear more about these 20s tips for "stout" ladies. Because I will never look like the ideal 1920s lady with all these curves.
i get so excited whenever you post videos! i love seeing your process!
What a lovely dress! You looked so cute! And my jaw dropped when I heard you sing - your stunning voice gave me the chills!
I love how the dress came out, and you have a lovely voice! Also I can see you practiced the Charleston, too; a lady of many talents!
Holy crow lady, you can wail!! Well done. Catherine Zeta look out!
Love the bit at the end when you are dancing! We mostly see still drawings or photos of these fashions, and I love seeing how the style moves.
Stunning blue color for that slip and you have a lovely singing voice to boot! All my relatives in pictures from 1920âs were âstoutâ and their costumes (âoutfitsâ) didnât have the fringe or excessive ornamentation of the thin flat-silhouette styles. I will join you on the #StashBusting 2020 self-Challenge also. Happy Christmas and congrats on a creative year! (Props to your fellow historian sewing folk for leading me to your channel and talents!! ..Morgan and Bernadette đ)
I look forward to making something like this for lounging. The dress floats around you nicely. Beautiful job!
I love this dress! You did an amazing job! I am of the stout persuasion and square enough to fit into men's clothes without too much difficulty (except that they're always too long :( ) and it's always nice to see someone making larger sizes! It reminds me that anyone can sew and make beautiful things!
I liked your video, I have no talent for sewing but I like to watch y'all that do. Singing at the end was perfect!
Your channel came up within the last several days on CZcams and I saw a dress you've started, the w one with needle lace from the museum. Now I'm addicted to your sews!
This is beautiful! What a wonderful job youâve done
Your intro always makes me feel so fancy!
The dress is so beautiful and delicately made! You did a really good job!
It turned out so lovely! What a great stash busting project
I am new to costuming, but you and the other costuming vlogers are really getting me going. I found your channel after seeing you at Costume College this year in the other ladies videos and just loved your astrologer dress! Nicolle spoke of you in one of her videos and that's how I found you. Your patterning skills are amazing and I have no idea how you sew on such a little desk with all of that fabric! Thanks for all you share with us. Merry Christmas!!
Stunning! Wow, wow, wow
Love it! I found you watching a Costume College post. Next is your constellation gown!
I fell in love with that gown đ
I love that this is a stash busting project! I've got some chiffon in my stash and I now feel inspired to use it! đ
Decades of style also has some nice 1920s coat patterns that I really want to try. I love 1920 and30s coats so much!!
Oh wow, you look absolutely stunning. I am going to sew me a 1920's dress. Thank you for the tutorial.
Your back, yippee. I'm also not a fan of the 1920's silhouette but the fabric and beadwork were often amazing. However, saying that I think you looked great in your dress and I just loved your flapper moves. Also great that your doing your intros in front of your library again. Here's to more stash busting.
You looked gorgeous Marika! Beautiful singing voice too đ„°
This dress is so glam!
I loved this! I have also used several of the Midvale cottage post 1920s pattern/technique/ideas and they have almost all turned out great!
Lovely. And you sing too! Enjoyed this video very much. You popped up randomly.
Your colour choices are so great! Also I like the inception of you watching Noelle's video in the background! Hi Noelle!
Your music choice is always so on point!
Edit: your SINGING Iâm DEAD the VIBRATO
Thank you đđ
That color is beautiful! You did a amazing job!
Beautiful! And I absolutely love the silhouette on you đ
Loved this dress, it's really suites you. Looking forward to many more x
Your dress is lovely!
Your hand sewing is fantastic!
Great job on the dress! I wasn't sure how it would look either as I have a similar body type to you and I'm dubious of the 20's silhouette. It was cute though.
I saw you in one of Bernadette Banner's Costume College vlogs by the way.
Beautiful! You have inspired me to learn how to sew!!!
Oh thank goodness. This is such a timely video. I'm designing a 20's gown for a formal banquet this year and I've been so intimidated to work with the chiffon. This helps so much.
I really like how that dress ended up turning out! Like you, I'm not entirely sold on the 20s silhouette as someone thats shouted but I think this ended up really flattering in the end
Yes! Cocoon coat!!!! It is ultimate glam!! đ
Loved this dress too! I think the roses will be beautiful but I bet the'll take some energi and patience to do. X)
Great job! Yes, I enjoyed the video. Inspiring â€ïž
Just received an actual pattern from the time copyrighted 1921 that I happened to find in our size on etsy! Gonna make a summer day dress to wear to Coco this year. So excited!
You do fabulous work.
That dress was wonderful on you.
Thanks for all the detailed technical info and well filmed close ups! I know how to french seam now without ever opening a book...:) Your projects always turn out so neatly and beautifully made, something to strive for!
Love the gown and love it on you! đ€đđ€
Thanks for this post! I'm planning a 1920s outfit and was inspired by your experience. I too am a stout woman, so I am a bit wary, but I will persevere.
Loved the music - and your singing at the end was wonderful! Phryne Fisher (MIss Fisher's Murder Mysteries) is quite inspirational. Lots of draped, flowing articles of clothing. So sensible.
This is such a cute look! But I agree, lol, as a curvy girl the 1920's does not the have the most flattering silhouette... But everything is so cute! We deserve to enjoy the Roaring Twenties too!
I've been doing, like, a ridiculous amount of research on this lately, and in the 1920s there were occasional magazine articles and mentions in some of the dress- cutting guides about dressing/ selling for different body figures out even suggestions tailoring. Also, remember the silhouette valued through the decade and was mixed in with echos of both the outgoing and incoming decades, as well. Our standard go-to stereotype is the rail-thin straight silhouette, but there was a heck of a lot more going on. When you delve a little deeper, the twenties had something for everyone, that's what I really love about it. A lot of the design elements came echoing back on some form in the 1960s, as well, which is my other fave fashion decade of the 20th century!
Thank you for an easy to follow tutorial. Also ,I spotted the Outlander Series on your bookshelf behind you! I recently made a "Claire" shawl and skirt for our annual Ghostwalk production.
It came out very cute...loved it
Very cool gown, came out great!!
I love this dress.
This dress was gorgeous! I think you certainly rock that silhouette. Thanks for sharing this. I loved the music choice, too.
I love me some smooth jazz!
i love ur videos so much!!! they are so clear, and youre so nice & i rly lie the slip you made i think im gonna try it!!
The straight lines of the 1920's isn't really figure flattering to anyone whether curvy or not. That said, your gown is simply stunning on you..your curves make it so! So appreciate you attention to detail and envious of your hand sewing expertise.
Nice Chicago Easter egg! Itâs showing here in Melbourne at the moment and Iâm so keen to go đ your evening gown looks beautiful on you. Like you, I donât really go for 20s fashion because Iâm not a fan of how the silhouette looks on my âstoutâ figure, but itâs fun to experiment nonetheless. I have a young friend whoâs very interested in 20s fashion and wants to learn to sew, so I shall be getting very familiar with the styles of that era soon, I imagine! A cocoon coat is a wonderful idea - like a big snuggly blanket!
Hello fellow theatre kid! The dress is absolutely lovely, as is your singing voice. I automatically started singing along at the end :-D I'm also not a fan of the shape of 1920s dresses, but I adore the style of them. I'm now considering making a 1920s historybounding dress with a more flattering shape but 1920s decoration aka all the lace and beading one could ever want.
I know youâre not sure about the style of the 1920âs gowns but I must say I think it looks amazing on you! Loved the gown you created. You look beautiful! đ€
Thank you for doing a 1920's chemise style dress for plus sized figures. It's beautiful. Hopefully you will do a cocoon coat to go with it and you have a marvelous singing voice and Merry Christmas đââđ Peace, Love and Joy đ
Yes!!! Make one please!!! The cocoon coat!!!!!
Iâm absolutely planning to make a Poiret reproduction cocoon coat using the Folkwear pattern. Of course I plan to make it of a printed plush fleece from Joann, because itâs fun to make period clothes in ridiculous fabrics. Itâll make a cuddly wrap to wear around the house and out to evening parties.
Those cocoon coats do look cozy. Also, nerd here, I can't help but peruse your shelves while you talk. The frock is beautiful and looks wonderful on you. Great use of that salvaged lace! All that jazz!
OMG YES on the cocoon coats!!!
Itâs so prettttyyyyâ„ïž
I am so looking forward to making this. I am attending a themed wedding in October and every dress I have seen is tack-nasty. So I looked at some movies from that depicted 1920âs style, and this is the silhouette I found.
