WOW! Fantastic fabric. For cocktail elegance the red Vneck dress, and for formal elegance and pazazz, the crop top and skirt would be outstanding. Whatever you make will be a knock-out. Happy sewing everyone.
That fabric paired with the wiggle dress would be absolute perfection. A total classic.
How exciting. Definitely the wiggle dress, no frills in that fabric, something absolutely plain to show off that fabulous fabric
The. Calvin Klein Vogue! It will really show that beautiful fabric. The middle view (white) is so elegant for a wedding.
Love Brad's sense of humour! I like the little red McCalls or the Vogue slim sheath. That would let the fabric do the talkin'. And you have the figure to make it happen!💕
I too also love that pattern as well
Holy moly! That fabric is so gorgeous! I think, like you said, I would stay away from ruffles and pick something very simple and let the fabric be the star. You're going to steal the show!!
The red vintage or the black with the full skirt - both very Sophia Loren /Italian 1950’s gorgeousness. You are going to love Italy 🇮🇹
Vogue .... Simple , chic . Let the fabric do the work . Perfect .💚
Classic waist seam dress with boat neck. Classic, classy and the fabric would look awesome.
I love the Calvin Klein Vogue. The version with the shoulders cut in.
My vote is for the short top, with that fabulous long skirt. You have the figure for that gorgeous skirt.
My vote is the “wiggle” dress!!! I think you would look sew stunning! And GURLLLL,,,, those shoes !!!!! I love love love those shoes!!!😍😍😍
A simple sheath or wiggle dress would be outstanding to show off this beautiful fabric.
Love CK sheath. Best choice to spotlight your busy fabric. Skip jumpsuit for wedding.
You two are a breath of fresh air and I’m so ready for spring as well!!!!
How exciting for your trip to Italy! I think the Vogue pattern would be AMAZING in that fabric. Can wait to see the finished product 😊😍
The little red dress or the classic with a waist seam, please. The fabric speaks for itself. Love ya!
I love the classic dress think that fabric would look amazing in it
I think that New Look 6723 will look awesome on you in that fabric!
Fantastic news that you are going to Italy 👏🏼.
As for the dress choices, the fabric speaks for itself so I don’t think frills will be necessary. Either the wiggle dress or the Audrey Hepburn style would be perfect.
Can’t wait to see the whole outfit when it’s made whichever you choose.
Thanks for bringing a laugh to quite a gloomy world at the moment!! We love the Brad and Viv show x
I would say no to the tiered dress, I think you wouldn’t like volume with the shantung. My favorite is the full skirted dress with the fitted bodice. Love, love, love the fabric!
I agree, also a simple cropped jacket in a solid green might be a nice add on.
Make a wall hanging for your sewing room with the vintage simplicity cotton..
Hello Vivvy. I have to say the first one. I just love that skirt and on you, perfection! Paired with those magnificent shoes, well what can be said about this. And it was wonderful to see Brad helping out. However my friend, whatever you chose will be beautiful and exciting. Thank you so much for sharing your excitement and this magnificent experience with us ❤️ enjoy. And I shall be watching on Monday!!!!!
Little red dress looks very classy. So does the new look puffy dress 👗 the fabric is stunning! You will look good in anything! Glad your going!✈️
you have to make the little red wiggle dress!! You will be a siren in that dress!!!
That fabric calls out for the sheath style - it would be gorgeous!! PS You will love love love Italy. It’s worth the flight -promise!
THAT.FABRIC! It's the prettiest fabric of all time!! I like the New Look fit and flare or the Calvin Klein.
I love the blue one with the full skirt. So sophisticated! 🌺
Brad has a great sense of humor...so nice he encourages you
The New Look classic is great, the red wiggle dress is awesome. Either would be spectacular. The others just don’t do it. Love the shoes.
I love Vogue 2690.. Classy for cocktail dress, easy to move to dance in.💕
Enjoyed your video. Your pattern choices for the wedding are wonderful. Since the wedding is in Italy in July, make a sleeveless dress or top. Italy can be really hot at that time of year. Take or make a shawl if the weather is cooler.
6723 new look. Audrey Hepburn style. There’s a dress in “your” fabric right next to it. You’ll be holding your own with the Italian mammas in that, and it’s cocktail style. The town is pronounced “OTT rant oh” by the way. Greetings from Italy.
What a CUTE hunny you have! Thanks for sharing and I WILL be praying for your trip!!
Loved the red pattern or that black classic one, the very first was gorgeous and dramatic also!
Hi Viv!! Wonderful vlog.. Love seeing you & Brad together, your chemistry together is awesome.. Great pick, Brad.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
I like the Calvin Klein sheath for your beautiful fabric. It will be easy to wear and pack and would be a lovely cocktail dress.
Glad you decided to go, it will be a wonderful experience. Take time for lots of site seeing. Keep in mind it might be hot. My husband and I visited our son in July (stationed in Germany) and many places did not have A/C.
Hi Linda, you’re right. The church doesn’t have AC and they’ve advised bringing a paper fan to help keep cool. Thanks for writing!
I concur with Brad's choice! You have a beautifully strong fabric choice AND statement designer shoes that deserve to be showcased. You will undoubtedly do your family proud in Italy!!
So kind, always.🌺Thank you mmw!
I so enjoyed your video especially your vintage patterns. I hope your visit to Italy happens. The fabric for your dress is stunning.
You guys are so cute! He's such a great guy to do all this. Hope your team wins.
I'm a "green" girl so I love that fabric! Ooh wish I cud see and feel it in person! Sheath not ruffles or the "classic" one. Love that a lot!
Olan Mills 😂!! The very mention of that name sent cold chills down my back! I’m sure everyone has an experience to relate about them. Love your videos 😊
Lol, love you guys! I liked the blue New Look I think it was. Congratulations to the couple.
No matter what you decide Vivmom, you will look FAB. Ye are a perfect pair. 😄
Vintage McCalls 7296 ‘wiggle’ dress will look great with that fabric!
My vote is for the classic New Look 6723. The fabric reminds me of the throw back fabric of the late 60's early 70's style. A Jackie O/ A. Hepburn style would be awesome. The large flowers need to be made into a classic dress. I love the Kwik Sew sheath dress that Brad picked. It looks like the pattern similar to my first sheath dress I made in the 60's. It was so very easy and wore like a dream. I sincerely hope the flu epidemic is over before your trip. Looking forward to see what you decide to make. My husband walked by while I am watching your vlog and wants to know why I am grinning...you and Brad made me giggle. Thanks ...Many blessings
Love the shoes. They just scream, "wear me"! Dress wise, I vote for the two piece, crop top, with the skirt. The chandelier skirt will really work well with the shoes. Have fun at the wedding.
I love the first skirt you showed from McCalls. Think that would be beautiful! I had to crack up when you said there were 2 of those when you were talking about the tulle on the shoes. My first thought went to - of course there's two you have two feet. I thought you meant there were 2 shoes. LOL! You cracked me up!
Wow, wedding guest fabric rocks!
Viv, hey, its all good. Chocolate has its own food group and good, has milk. Long fingernails only get in the way when you play the piano and sew! The fashion fairy could care less how many garments you finish for any single month! You are adorable and all your garments are fabulous on you. Awwh gee, think deep down you deliberately made Candice that adorable black jacket. YES, definitely go to Italy and furthermore have fun, eat chocolate, drink wine, buy their shoes and have fun! They have fabric in Italy. I have that green shantung and love it. I like the Vogue 1991 sheath sleeveless, dress or new look sleeveless and with your figure-WOW. The fabric is huge and busy, so simple simple dress will show it off beautifully. Spots will come out of the tensel.
I like the 6723 new look with no sleeves. Have a great time at the wedding.
Love the sheath dresses. I wanted to tell you to be prepared for some serious warm weather. Italy at that time of year is HOT. Pack with that in mind. You’re going to love Italy 🇮🇹.
I’m sure someone mentioned it below but in Italy they have a stricter dress code than in the US. I’m a church nothing sleeveless or above the knee. You may want to ask about that. You can still sew sleeveless and wear something like a bolero over it.
The wiggle stress with your shoes will be simple and sophisticated. You will be stunning and it would fit in with the cocktail theme
Right there with you on UVA basketball! Been a fan since I went there in the 70s! Go hoos! I like the top and the fancy skirt. Would be so cute, and you wear the top separately with other things!
My favorite for the shantung would be the skirt because the fabric has enough body to it to keep its shape. When you said dancing under the stars it cinched it for me, it would swirl beautifully around your legs.
My vote is the vogue, the one in the middle or the other sleeveless. A bold print would look fabulous without too many broken lines or darts. Anyway, no matter what you choose, it will be wonderful. Italy is fantastic! I have been to Tuscany 3 times and Florence is one of my favorite cities. Have a great time Viv! I am excited for you!
You guys are so darn fun! Love your interactions. As far as the pattern choice, I think you and Candice should decide since you both have wonderful fashion sense.
The vintage pattern fabric would make an adorable tote bag. Or, maybe simple curtain panels & lumbar pillow cover for a sewing room chair. I am interested to see what you do. I am thinking along the line of craft projects. I am sure whatever you do with it will be precious.
I love that sheath dress pattern! To me, a sheath dress looks sophisticated without trying hard ala Audrey Hepburn style. I just wish I had slim hips. Those dresses flatter the straight slim body type.
McCalls Skirt 7329 is the winner in my view. With those shoes, under the stars...wow.
Think the wiggle dress would look amazing in that fabric ❤️
Thank you - love your spark! BTW we always do a pool for March madness at work - good luck with your pool!
I think I agree with those who picked the "wiggle" dress. If that's too tight, then the McCalls classic dress. Something with simple lines to let the fabric shine on its own. Love the shoes!
I'm swooning over that first skirt you showed. The shape of that along with the fabric would be stunning on you.
Make sure you go see the Rome Italy Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It might surprise you what you see and learn.
HAHAHA! LMAO when you started talking about Olan Mills! EVERYBODY has to have an Olani Mills experience!
OLAN...lol
OMG! I made this dress back in 1967 when I was a freshman in high school!!!!!
#4 Wiggle Dress! It's what I invisioned when you first showed the fabric.
Absolutely love the material for the wedding🤗. I think pattern 7296 (wiggle dress) would be lovely with that fabric. My second choice would be the one before the Vogue pattern. You & your husband always make me smile 😁. Can’t wait to see your dress for the wedding! Love the shoes as well.
Hey, that's the lava print fabric, it looks awsome. I in Canada, but got my sister in Texas to order it for me, they will be coming to visit me this summer, and I will get my fabric, spool hooooo!!
My vote is for the New Look classic waist dress - I think it would show off your fabric beautifully!
I love the classic dress, New Look 6723. Thought of Audrey Hepburn right away. You will rock this right outta the park! I think a simple dress will compliment your fabric. Love all this excitement for your Italy trip! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos!! I’m glad I found someone who loves to sew as much as I do!
Hi Cathy! Welcome!! Thank you for your note.🌺
That material would really pop, with the Calvin Klein dress. I love the first pattern with the shoulders cut out, so plain but so stunning and with those shoes and a fascinator hat, see if you could incorporate some material on the hat and some tule, the same colour as your shoes on the fascinator. So simple but oh so chic. ( I think I got a it carried away there.) lol. Have a lovely day. 🧶🧶🧶💞💞💞
The first skirt and top was by far my favorite!! Very stylish. My second pick was the blue dress with the three quarter sleeves. I’m thinking you deserve a change from sewing to basketball. Have fun and don’t worry about sewing. You’ll get back to that soon enough!
New Look 6723!!!!! Perfect for the silk fabric. Those flowers deserve to stand out in all their glory and not be hidden with ruffles.
FYI!!!! JoAnn's has McCall's & Kwik Sew Patterns on sale for $1.99.. Kwik Sew is rarely on sale. Also while in the store today another lady mentioned patterns by Bootstrap. Have you ever heard of them? You put in your measurements & they make the pattern according to your measurements. Custom sizing!! . It's a print out pattern form. Have a great weekend.
The Simplicity 8789 dress would be stunning in your beautiful shantung fabric for the wedding!
My vote is for wiggle dress or white view of sheath dress!! Love, love, love the fabric!!
To with the first skirt you showed and the crop top. Love it.
Many years ago spent the summer in Urbino, Italy. Remember the heat. I would urge you to make the one that speaks to you. I have a favorite for myself but hold back telling because any of them would look beautiful on you. Please, please enjoy the basketball with no guilt about skipping sewing. Sewing will always be there. When NFL football is on, that is my addiction and nothing gets done. And that can be on three days a week. Glad you are going!!
I really like the New Look pattern. I'd do sleeveless with a navy jacket. Beautiful fabric.
I vote for the classic New Look dress. I think it would be a fabulous cocktail dress.
Definitely the wiggle dress. Classic, stylish and so Italian chic. Stay strong with the Lent resolution - you can do it!
I remember my mom wearing a dress with a more full skirt in the late 50's like 6723. Perfect! Don't forget if it's in a church they may require sleeves and maybe a head scarf. So that pattern view C would be great. Would also look fantastic on your figure.
The Calvin Klein white shift dress is chic! Very sassy, I would like to get that pattern for me too...
Wear something that is physically comfortable, nothing you worry about your body, because when you feel beautiful you look beautiful. I think for a busy print, the sheath lets the print be the star.
I vote the separates with the beautiful skirt for 1st place & 2nd place goes to the little red wiggle dress. Shoes are to die for gorgeous! Ciao Bella
Definitely the New Look 6723- the sleeveless version. It was made for your gorgeous fabric! The drawing even looks like your fabric. It’s a SIGN! Seriously, a July Wedding in Southern Italy will be so hot so that dress is perfect. The fabric is stiff so will stick out a bit anyway but a big whooshy 50s underskirt would be fab. Maybe in red tulle👍
Good luck with your resolutions - it's hard but I'm sure you can do it! Lucky you going to Italy. I'm sure you will love it. Southern Italy is gorgeous. For your pattern I would choose simple lines to show off the fabric and not too bulky for packing. I love, love, love those shoes! Good to see Brad too.
You guys are so much fun! I don’t sew but you’re such a happy way end my day! After nothing but bad stories on the nightly news. You bring such joy to all of us! Thank you!
I love the fabric for the wedding! I think the simpler the better, to showcase the beautiful designs, so Vogue 2690 or 6723 are my picks for you. BTW, being a 30 year Duke/Kentucky family, we know how to take a blow. lol. OR how to win gracefully. So, good luck all around on the March Madness favorites. We'll be watching faithfully, probably without 25 cent bets this year tho.
You can't beat a little black dress for a cocktail party, I love the Newlook 6723 for you or the Calvin Klein dress view B. Either would be awesome. Italy has some of the best dress designers I sure hope you get a chance to visit the garment district. That was so much fun watching you and Brad. So cool the way you guys interact with each other! Brad was in his usual comedic form and made me laugh out loud. I see different cabinets behind you, I will check and see if some how I missed when you said you were updating your sewing space.
You didn’t miss anything, Sheri! Except me being too lazy to clean up and film the “new” space. Why do I keep calling it new?! It’s not. It’s a new color and I have more cabinets and better storage. I’ll film it soon! Thanks for your feedback!💕
I don’t think that gorgeous shantung would look its best with gathers or tiers. Oh....you just held up the red wiggle dress! YES! That would be gorgeous. And now you’re holding up the Calvin Klein pattern. YES to that one, too! 🥰🥰🥰
Nice picks, I am Italian and those weddings over there are fancy. I would definitely go for new look, classic style. The fabric is already busy. You will look gorgeous in anything you make and you will have a great time. It is going to be very hot ☺️
Ohhh your new shoes are just darling, love them
The New Look classic sleeveless and the vintage with the frill will look very classy
I love the short top and skirt idea!!
I would have a tough time deciding between the little red wiggle sheath or the natural waist full skirt. Each so different yet each so fabric appropriate. Personally, I would make each selection in similarly weighted fabrics as a test run for fit and comfort before cutting into that dreamy shantung. Better safe than sorry! I look forward to ALL of your videos. You bring me joy. We too are college “B” Ball fanatics. I try to stockpile hand sewing and seam ripping for game time.🏀✂️
I think the Calvin Klein or the wiggle dress , would look fabulous. Italy is rather hot in the summer , but oh it’s glorious, I hope you get time to visit Florence my favorite city in the world! 💕 Karen R
