Just an fyi: this style was also worn at HBCUs(Historically Black Colleges and Universities) here in the U.S. You can see Black students wearing these same outfits (from patched elbow jackets to pleated skirts) at school, at sit-ins and at marches. Ralph Lauren had a line that celebrated this. So it's not all negative.
ОтветитьLove this!
ОтветитьLove the video! Wish the prices were put in the description.
ОтветитьBrilliant video. Thanks for all the recommendations.
ОтветитьCore - essential elements. Sorry my language couldn't move on.
ОтветитьLate to the party, but did anyone recommend Seamwork's Chantelle (adjustment needed to make sleeveless) and/or Ulla and/or Dani pinafore patterns to you (re: more trad vest style pinnie)? I also personally really like the Pippi pinnie by Jennifer Lauren Handmade :)
ОтветитьWow! Thanks for this great collection of pattern recommendations— so inspiring!!

Nice compilation! I would have liked the pattern picture to be left up longer...a bit rushed. Just saying.
ОтветитьYes, we know about the metric system. Your condescension is off putting and unnecessary.
ОтветитьI am so in love with that dress you are wearing, need to find that video.
ОтветитьJenniferLaurenHandmade has a few pinafore patterns - the Ivy is a classic pinafore pattern with a straight or A-line shape
ОтветитьI have been struggling to find plus size patterns forever. Whe you mentioned the curvy pattern database I thought I was going to cry. Thank you SO MUCH
ОтветитьThe reason the US doesn't change to the metric system is because everyone accommodates us. Even you who wants us to change is giving out the inches more often than not. It's the same thing with English, everybody learns English instead of making us learn their language.
ОтветитьThe US does not use Imperial measurements. It uses American measurements! Imperial measurements did not come into use until after Victoria became Empress of India. Believe it or not, America was independent of the British by then, and continued using their own Anglo-derived measurements. The ignorant assumption that these two systems are the same results in translations out of historical sources totally buggering up information, like WWII bomber ranges.
This was a very informative vid, including informing me that this would bore me spitless.
Ooh! The Knives Out sweater!
ОтветитьApparently my style has a dark academia silhouette, though markedly not the colour scheme, because I now have so many must try patterns. First up is turning that cape into a raincape!
ОтветитьVery small point - that last pattern - 110 cm is a bit over a metre, so more like 42 inches (you mentioned 30 inches which would be 80cm).
Ответитьthanks for pointing out that we use metric measurement, nothing more annoying than a pattern from the USA that only has inches and yards
ОтветитьThis style assumes people actually know what ivy league schools wear. I have no idea what anyone at Yale wears. I know some Christian colleges have dress codes. But aside from slacks for the guys and skirts or dresses for the ladies I really don't know. I guess no jeans, shorts, or sweat pants.
ОтветитьFun fact... Back in the 70s, the US was supposed to transition to the metric system. It was a change that passed all the law making entities, but it was (apparently) to the "people" to adopt it. And we all know how much people love change. 🙄So here we are - 50 some odd years later still suffering with fractions and ridiculous memory aids so we can figure out how to use our lives. Anyone who has tried to double or halve a recipe in Imperial will understand that 1/2 CUP of baking soda is entirely too much... no matter how many cookies you're making. Ask me how I know.
ОтветитьImperial is the worst! I didn’t even know it was called “imperial” until I was older. It was taught (at least in my part of the country) as “standard”. No joke, that’s just how full of ourselves we are. Literally the rest of the world does it better but nope! we’re the standard. 🤣
Ответитьexcellent video! love the patterns..
ОтветитьOMG! an aussie! Thank you! :)
ОтветитьI don't know if this helps, but Mood has free patterns, including the pinafore dress from The Queens Gambit. Goes up to hip measurement 34.5" to 63" (87 - 160cm)
ОтветитьCould we have whimsigoth capsule wardrobe please?
ОтветитьLove the Heather blazer! I made mine out of denim
ОтветитьWhat a great video idea! I love the thought of breaking it down piece by piece. Jennifer Lauren Handmade has a couple really cute more fitted pinafores and cup sizes.
ОтветитьWe in the US also think it’s stupid that we don’t use metric 😂
ОтветитьThe Amber Vest from Made for Mermaids is close with a full bust of 51" and hip of 54".
ОтветитьGunner Deatherage - Hemlock Coat and Cape FYI: Gunner was a contestant on Project Runway. and Project Runway All-Stars.
ОтветитьGreat fun!
That new skirt from the Friday pattern company (Bernadette?) could be a great option for this look too.
Also I quite like the style of the Apricot Pinafore Dress by cocowawa patterns for a more vintage style pinafore.
Great video, some interesting pattern finds. I will definitely be trying some 🤭👍
ОтветитьThis is the cutest style and great reviews! I love that you kept to inclusive styles. I feel like seamwork had a more fitted pinafore. Maybe Dani? But I remembered one with buttons. I’m not sure if it’s inclusive tho. Anyhoo, great video!!
Ответить💯 👍👍👍
ОтветитьI'm 59, and they tried to teach us the metric system sometime during elementary school. It didn't take. The science teachers in the middle school where I teach use the metric system. I don't know if it will ever change here, but I suspect it will. While American independence is an admirable quality, this borders on the ridiculous.😆*The Seamwork Phoebe is probably the cutest pinafore I've ever seen. It goes up to 56" hips.*
ОтветитьGreat pattern picks!
Your bit about imperial vs metric is hilarious. I live in the US and I have been saying this all my life. I was all, “YES!!!” I don’t think anything will change though. 🤷♀️
I really love this video!! thanks Amy, I love this style and didn't even know it was called dark academia. Your suggestions are really inclusive too. please do more of these videos, i am off to plan my outfit!! I am already thinking of accessorizing with stripey black and white witchy tights/socks which i imagine would look really cool with the steele pinafore (i have got already but have not made!! this is the kick up the bum to get sewing!)😁
