Making Rachel Maksy's FAVORITE cottagecore vintage pattern but Plus size for

First, I want to thank Rachel Maksy for allowing me usage of her footage!

Rachel has a flair for a CERTAIN Gunne Sax sewing pattern, and I just happened to know a friend that had one, and would let me trace her vintage pattern for use (in Atlanta). So after a brief road trip to Atlanta, I was all set to make Rachel Maksy's pinafore but make it plus size! My measurements are currently bust 46" and a waist 38-40".

So in today's video I am making a vintage pattern but sizing up to plus size from a bust 36". Using a vintage sewing pattern from a Gunne Sax Simplicity pattern is no small feat, but come along with me and I will show you how I made my vintage dress.
