Making the Queen's Gambit's dress, using a 1940's dress pattern (BONUS: It's plus size vintage)

Sometimes the right pattern comes around just the perfect time. The Queen's Gambit has taken over the vintage community. Everyone seems to be making some part of the Queen's Gambit wardrobe, and I am no different, but I wanted to put a 1940's spin on it. I found a lot of vintage patterns that contained Hollywood 905 (a 1940's dress and blouse pattern). This pattern was a bust 40 but I knew I would need to scale up the vintage pattern to a larger size before it would fit me in my plus size vintage sewing adventure. Using a vintage dress pattern isn't as scary as it seems, if you take it slowly and know how to read the instructions you can also make a vintage pattern for yourself. I share my tips and trick for using this vintage pattern, as well as some of the hiccups along the road. Grab some coffee and hang out with me as I show you how I used my vintage pattern to make my own pinafore! --- Other videos you may enjoy: How to use an unprinted vintage pattern: https://youtu.be/ak08KSflygI Why are vintage patterns so small?: https://youtu.be/xHDor9Jdh7Y Sewing a 1940's dress pattern to make Miss Scarlett: https://youtu.be/kedUCpfEIKk --- Products I use to trace or repair patterns: Document Repair Tape - https://bit.ly/DocumentRepairTape Pellon 815 - https://bit.ly/PellonRedDot815 Frixion Pens - https://bit.ly/7packFrixionPens Products I love for cleaning my vintage fabrics and clothes: Zote - https://bit.ly/ZoteLaundrySoap Woolite Delicates - https://bit.ly/WooliteDelicates48oz Synthrapol - https://bit.ly/Synthrapol32oz Shout - https://bit.ly/ShoutSprayRefill OxiClean - https://bit.ly/Oxy7lb Shout Color Catchers - https://bit.ly/ShoutColorCatchers72 Biz - https://bit.ly/BizPowderDetergent Restoration - https://bit.ly/RestorationEngleside5lb --- Wardrobe: Vixen by Micheline Pitt Makeup: Mac & Nyx My info: My website: www.backroomfinds.com IG - https://www.instagram.com/backroomfinds/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/BackroomFinds Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BackroomFinds/ Music provided by Epidemic Sound -- Gear: Nikon d7000: https://amzn.to/39UA6t3 Blue Yeti mic: https://amzn.to/3n3LRkF Dragon Pop FIlter: https://amzn.to/33WzxLG -- I am an affiliate to the links provided above and do receive a small commission on some items that helps to support me and my channel.
