    _Chalk tip_ - Somewhere on Etsy there was a maker in Germany who used to make plastic tailor's chalk sharpeners. The thing is brilliant. Saves so much time. There are also really beautiful, really, really expensive versions of them used by tailors on Savill Road.

    i think the gold gives a nice addition. Adds some contrast to the dress without taking away the beauty. plus gold is a very elegant color.

  • @remmym6605
    @remmym6605 Před 3 měsíci +6

    This is so beautiful. Something about it makes it look so much more modern than it really is. I think it's the contrast gold buttons against the white tweed along with the strong geometric style lines, it's giving Olivier Rousteing's Balmain.

    • @SewRena
      @SewRena  Před 3 měsíci +3

      Thank you ❤️ I know what you mean! His designs are timeless

  • @denisehucks2908
    @denisehucks2908 Před 3 měsíci +3

    Since you asked - the first thing that I thought when I saw the dress on, you was oh my it would’ve looked so much better with covered buttons in the tweed. The metallic buttons tend to make it look more like a military style outfit. The elegance of the pearl encrusted tweed might be better with tweed covered buttons as well. You’re an amazing seamstress. I wish I was your petite size so I could buy patterns off the shelf. I always have to alter things and it’s really a pain. Bravo to you for such beautiful construction.

  • @dacrayzblaze1

    Those gold buttons pop nicely against the tweed. I like them!

  • @martaaberg3330

    That dress looks amazing on you! I do like the gold buttons, but self-fabric buttons with the little pearls around them would be fabulous.

    I wore an Oleg Cassini for my wedding, so I know what you mean about those dresses. My mom bought it for me and then my first wedding didn’t happen. I saved that dress and 5 years later got to wear it. I tried on other dresses just to see if I wanted to start fresh but no… nothing came close to that Oleg Cassini. Your Cassini is stunning. So gorgeous. I like the gold, too!

    What beautiful fabric. I'd either stay with the gold buttons or try to find a beautiful pearl button. A lot of very famous designers had patterns back in the day. It's amazing when you go looking! Oleg Cassini was married to the beautiful actress Gene Tierney.

  • @tigrezangel
    @tigrezangel Před 3 měsíci +2

    You look gorgeous in that dress. The design is beautiful and I love it. You did a great job. I think the gold buttons give the dress an elevated look, or I should say an even more elevated look because the design is already very elegant and the way you styled it also adds more glam to it. It's simply a chef kiss.

I didn't know Oleg Cassini had patterns through a mail-order. I have to pay attention and keep my eyes open from now on. I hope you have fun at your meetup. And I think you should cover the buttons

    My mom made this dress for herself in many ways. I would sit with her in the sewing room and play with a big tin of buttons.
    Unfortunately my sister didn't know the value of the buttons and gave them away. Oleg Cassini patterns were my Moms favorite. She always looked top notch.

    This dress is very sophisticated and elegant, and you wear it so well. I'm not sure about the buttons. In gold, they definitely become the star of the show. If you used covered buttons, I think the silhouette would be the star of the show.

    I am excited to hear about your little meet up cuz I think I can guess who it is going to be with.
