You are my star!! I love you and your videos. I look forward to them. Stay sewing and be happy! You are wonderful.
Exotic, rich red (a colour like the most expensive fine wine)... truly a statement. All eyes on you in this dress.
Your relationship with Candice is so lovely đ„°
Zandra Rhodes dress is FANTASTICâŠ..my vote
Made first wedding gown, 4 bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress in 1990. He has a past and now engaged. Making again my wedding dress for this summer. I'm finding myself looking at our future wedding day much more simply. First wedding was in a church. This time a beach ceremony and having a small dinner reception. I'm trying to keep the stress down and we are putting the money into our honeymoon instead of a extravagant ceremony. Each month I have been purchasing fabrics/materials for future dress. I also drew a study of my future dress. I can't seem to find ready made clothing, especially one piece dresses or suit outfits, to fit both top and bottom. (example: size 20 top and siz 12 bottom, big difference! UGGGG!) . So glad you sew and show your videos. You have helped me tremendously!
I love Candace's dress. So pretty.
You crack me up! Love watching you so much!
I love the dresses for the wedding events! Itʻs so great to hear someone knowledgeable discuss each, ins and outs, mistakes (couldnʻt find them!) etc. Beautiful. I canʻt wait to see the final choices!
I adore #1 and #3 dresses, perfect to take on your holiday, probably not mother of the Bride style. #2 dress, the first thing I saw was the face. The top you made for your sister is cute, so kind of you. Candace's dress is spot on! I love everything thing about it.
Lovely fabric choices and styles for everyone. The overlay dress and fabric is darling and looks fabulous on you! The copper colored fabric appeared to âlight up the roomâ i look forward to seeing your style pick. Candacesâ dress is gorgeous. Enjoy this process and we will see you on the other sideđđș
The brick color fabric will make a fabulous dress! All the dresses you made are great.
As always love your sewing and your smiling face. Enjoy your vacation, hugs from Montana
All of them were lovely, but I love the chiffony dress with the lime green underskirt. That is gorgeous!
Viv, I just love đ everything you sew. You inspire us all!
I am excited for your daughters wedding.
I love that you skip the zipper when you are able!
Exciting times for you! All the dresses look nice but you are right, not mother of the bride type. I made my niece's wedding dress in 1976 - long story; I don't sew for other people any more. Happy sewing, happy occasion.
Dress number 1 the floral v-neck looks perfect for the rehearsal dinner!
Hi Viv!! Loved the top made of quilting fabrics you were wearing.. All of the dresses you tried on were absolutely beautiful.. Even the dress you made for Candace is just gorgeous.. Donât worry about us & you just worry about making & finding the dress you want to wearâŠ.

You picked some really good patterns. The first doesn't quite make it for the wedding events but the others certainly do. Not really fond of vogue patterns but that overlay ~~ perfect!! The brown fabric is rust colored and gorgeous. Another person commented that you don't find that color and she's absolutely right. It's my favorite color and I look great in it but minding it is another story.
Can see Candace in that dress. Whew, you have so much to do. God bless you, Lady.
Great makes, this must be so exciting for you all, đ
Son no. 2 eloped. Married a girl in Texas. Coming home March going to have a family celebration reception upon their return. I was watching an old episode of Bewitched. Now there are some amazing garments throughout those shows.
The Zandra Rhodes is perfect on you. If you dyed some shoes to match the orange trim, it is a wonderful shower dress. The colors highlight your complexion so well. Love love love it.
Loved the dark blue top. I really liked the dress with the overlay. It looked very nice on you. The print on the first dress is beautiful.
The dresses are all cute. The Zandra Rhodes and sample dress are knock outs.
I sew altered couture and take on things like the face in the fabric type garments. What I would do is cut the dress horizontal just over the eyes and again under the mouth. Then use that piece of fabric as a pattern to make a lined lace panel in black. Two seams later, it's done. Of course there are more options than that. I have seen designers in vogue magazine run into similar problems. As for not making a wedding dress, they aren't all looking for what we wore back in the 80s with boning and stuff. Dresses like these in white are selling. Brides are very individual these days. I find these silky fabrics challenging. The dresses look great! All of them.
Your makes are beautiful! You are going to be a beautiful mother of the bride, whichever style you end up choosing.
Blessings!đ
I adore the third dress. You look lovely in it.
All your dresses are lovely. I especially like the fabric you used in the top for your sister. Very pretty. Candice's dress is so pretty. Oh thank God my daughter had a nice casual outdoor summer wedding, when all the roses were in bloom in the garden, white chairs on the lawn, the driftwood/ rocks/ocean as their backdrop, catered BBQ and pretty summer dresses everywhere. I must phone her today and tell her again how little work, and how much fun it was having it at our home. Yours will be fun too. See you when we see you. We all know you are very busy this spring.
Hello Viv! I have the last blouse pattern. I regretted buying it until now. Wow! That fabric is a show stopper.
LOL! I didnât see the face until you said something and then it was hard to missđLoved the dress with the chiffon overlay!
God bless Viv. Love seeing your makes. I love that fabric you have chosen for yourself, the "brick red." Gorgeous, rich and warm.đ
Love everything! Thanks for sharing!
That dress for Candise was beautiful. Hoping she likes it enough to wear during wedding celebrations! Love your sewing! If only I had your figure!!!!
Wow I just love the top you made for your sister đ and the 2 nd dress wow the Colorâs just pop on you. The first one loved the style but yes with the flowers print it turns out to be a summer dress. The first pattern with fabric of no 2 dress would have been gorgeous I think. But all so beautiful and you just cracked me up at the end with your bundle of Whiteâs đđđđ.
Lived dress #2. Make a little jacket for it.. You look great in that design.
I love that top you wore to lunch with your sister đ
I loved all of them,
Love, love,love the overlay dress and the colors were awesome on you (as well as the bow in your hair). The first sundress was adorable. Candaceâs dress style is perfect. I hope you post pics of her in the finished one. Not crazy about brick color for Spring but you will make it work. Your âshowsâ make me so happy to watch. A wedding!! What a happy time for you all.
I love the top. Gorgeous design and splendid fabric.
Your instincts are spot on. Many lovely outfits, but none quite it, yet. I have to laugh, though, because when you said that the thing now is for rehearsal dresses to be white, đŹ, the first thing I thought was, be prepared to get blood off of it. I swear, I have sewn Countless garments, and only 3 wedding dresses, and one white skirt, and it never fails, the only time I ever cut myself is when I'm sewing white dresses for someone else. (Yow! I hope I haven't cursed you on this. If you bleed on Candace's rehearsal dress, you can blame it on me!) I can't wait to see what you finally choose. The pattern for Candace is GORGEOUS! I love the fabric for your rehearsal dress. Best of luck with the rest of the plans and the sewing!
Glad I found you! I need Mother of the Bride ideas for a July wedding so will be watching with great interest!
Gorgeous dresses and top!! You look amazing!
Hello Vivmom l I think the large tops work better with dark color,but because is about an event the blue dress is more properly for a party.Thank you for sharing.,..
Loving the second blue slinky number! The bows add a nice dressy element to it. Iâd love that. That blue looks great on you.
Imagine that third dress in a blue sapphire chiffon and underlay. That would look gorgeous x
I love the pink and floral dress would be gorgeous đ for a wedding mother of the bride so pretty đ.
Love all your makes. Glad to see you again. I've missed you.
You look SO good in all of these!!! I cannot wait to see what you make for the big day!! đ€đ„°
Awww YOU!!â€ïž
Just great, love the first one. đ€©
Love all the makes especially the fabric from JoAnnâs!â„ïž
All the dresses are beautiful!!
Love the first dress and Candice's dress. All your makes look great on you.
The Zandra Rhodes dress is absolutely stunning! You look perfect in it, and the colors suit you to a "T".
Everything looked great on you! I did love the Zandra Rhodes dress the best-what pretty summer dress. And I love the mod print and colors. So pretty! I can tell you are having fun again with sewing and how special to sew for you and your daughter for such a special event..
You are having fun. It shows. Go for it
I made all the bridesmaids dresses fir my oldest daughters wedding, and the wedding dress for my youngest daughters wedding. Enjoyed both times very much!!
love the mod dress with the overlay! you are so talented!! thanks for sharing :)
Love the dresses will look forward to seeing what you decide on
Liked all the dresses especially the overlay dress and the border print one. All were really cute.
Love all of your makes. You inspire me to sew. Thanks for the video.
Loving the blue silk charmeuse! The dress with the overlay is cute and so retrođâ„ïž Everything is lovely!
Oh Oh oh.....So glad you mentioned the new look 66 69 dress has a built in bra! These pattern companies are leaving out more and more info on their envelopes. I personally can not wear spaghetti straps but, with a built in bra; I might be able to pull that off. I'm sure many ladies look over that tie shoulder dress because the company doesn't mention that very pertinent information as to a "built in bra".
All beautiful. Canât wait for the Wedding !!!
Viv So much fun!! I liked all. I liked the black and purple but the bottom tie should be moved up cause I still saw the face. That print and type of fabric is gorgeous!!â€. I especially thought the overlay dress was so complimentary and rehearsal dinner. Refreshing to see this style in something other than typical black. I wouldn't wear black to any part of a wedding. Apparently some due and did at mine. I think the overlay is very complimentary and you made right decision about tie neck. So you decided against your favorite green dress!!--even for rehearsal? This was fun. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy styling Candace!! So special she wants you to do create a special dress. It is good to have happy times ahead.
Love the mod dress the best. Really great touch with the piping.
Great video as usual.
The Sandra Rhodes Vogue dress in an ice blue with some silver waist embellishment would be stunning!! Love your channel! Best wishes on your daughter's weddding!đ°
I know you are busy!!!!! Thanks for sharing this special time. I do love the dress for Candace! It is lovely. She will look beautiful in it.
Love the Butterick 6538, blue charmeuse on you - gorgeous!!! I did not notice the face, until you pointed it out.
As always, I am amazed and inspired by your makes! Truly! I think you look lovely in all the things you made , but I loved the tunic for Carol. I went out and bought that pattern on a .99 cent Simplicity Pattern sale!
As always I loved this video and every dress! Thank you for sharing!
#1 dress is DARLING, and darling on you but great for a shower or rehearsal perhaps. #2 dress I ADORE on you! Lovely fabric and fit. I donât see a face at all but a beautiful dress for rehearsal. #3 dress is so CUTE and adorable on you! Perfect, I think for a shower.
Thanks Viv so much for sharing. I'm excited for you and your daughter's big day! Blessings!
I fully agree with you. Your evaluation and thinking of what dress for each dress is spot on.
Love the charmeuse blue print, You are so clever!
I wanted to add that YOU are responsible for getting me up and sewing again after a many year break. I have been sewing up a storm lately and with more success than failure. I think that too is in part due to listening to your problem solving tenacity! You rarely give up and wear what you make. Thank you for your positive encouragement and for having a really good you tube!
I love the style and cut of the face dress on you⊠but I canât unsee the face!
Viv, all your makes look good. Thanks for showing us.
Always inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
All are lovely đ€©đ€©đ
Macaroni cheese for dinner and a Vivmom videoâŠ.đ„°perfect
Those are awesome!!
I think the beautiful emerald green sundress that you made a while back with the long sash down the back is perfect for a wedding- gorgeous! Great makes as always :) thanks for sharing!
I loved everything! Thank you for giving us a peek.
Happy sewing. Wishing you the best sewing and mother of the bride adventures. You are a talented seamstress! PS: The face dress is a hoot and a half!!! Wear it somewhere un-bridal.
VivMomSews: Sorry I donât have much to show you this month (after modeling a large number of gorgeous looks) đ
Me: Um, I managed to sew one easy pullover top in Februaryđ€Šđ»ââïž
Girl, All the looks are fab. I almost bought that Zandra Rhodes pattern on eBay the other day! Now I have to go back and see if I can find it. And the way you styled it with the bow in your hair was adorable.
I just had a conversation with Sue, (from Sookie Sews during our live sewing chat), about how we feel almost compelled to point out our sewing mistakes! Iâm with you, I would not have redone the interfacing either. Whoâs going to see it except for the millions of followers of your channel đ
Love all your makes! Can feel your excitement about the wedding. Such a joyous time.đ
congrats on your terrific makes ... so lovely!
The dress with the overlay is fantastic. It looks great on you. I would wear it to the rehearsal dinner
A few years ago my daughter go t married. I made several dresses but nothing really was a hit for me. Either the fabric was wrong the style was not perfect etc. So, I ended up buying a dress that I loved the fabric , the style was not quite right. For starters it had no sleeves, and I really wanted to wear 3/4 sleeves. It also had a few layers of ruffles on the bottom, that I did not like. So I took the whole dress apart, kept what I liked and rearranged the rest. I made sleeves , took off the ruffles and adjusted the hem. It worked perfect!
I love the flowery fabric for the first dress, Viv, so pretty! Itâs been an eye opener and a reminder really, that many relatively simple patterns can be used, providing the fabric is right for the occasion. Iâve been complicating matters by only looking at occasion wear and getting nowhere for my MOG dress. Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool đŹđ§đđ
Great to see you, congratulations on the wedding and love your dresses. The blouse you make for your sister is very nice as well.
Your dresses were all beautiful! Canât wait to see what you make for mother of the bride dress.đ
I was drawn to the face immediately. It looks like Jack o' lantern to me. I was relieved you saw a face because I thought my eyes were tricking međ€đ€
Your makes for February are lovely. I made my mother of the bride dress for both older daughtersâ weddings. I used silk dupioni. Carolâs top looks comfy and stylish.
Oh that third dress is really giving me the mob vibes. Maybe in something a bit more formal this could be it!
sooo exciting đ
I think the âface fabricâ dress would look lovely in the brick coloured fabric for the wedding rehearsal
The top u made for your sister, is gorgeous!!!
Great video. Wedding plans sound so exciting!
Hi again. Adorable dresses, etc. I think you have God given gifts. Also, I love the fabrics.
Yay!!! Loved the VOGUE dress on you! Candace's dress looked so pretty! All of your makes are great! Take your time and have fun sewing! Loved the fashion show! âšïž
The one you made for Candice would be pretty as a white dress with lace over lay.
Oh my, the overlay dress is adorable!
