Make what you can and ethically source the rest!
Welcome to The Essentials Club tutorial channel which is all about sharing the steps to become more resourceful and creative with crafting your own minimal, conscious wardrobe.
This tutorial takes you through the steps of how to create your own dress that features gathered tiers, large sleeves, high neck with tie back and an overall cute go-to! Super simple to make and an easy throw on when you can't be bothered overthinking things.
Suggested Fabric Amount Required:
Size Extra Small = 1.5m (off the roll)
Size Small = 2m (off the roll)
Size Medium = 2.5m (off the roll)
Size Large = 3m (off the roll)
Size Extra Large = 3.5m (off the roll)
(add or take 0.5 metres for anything larger or smaller than these sizes)
This is based off a short style, so you'll need to get more if you intend to make it longer!

I love finding diy channels at 1am and feel so inspired that's you have to go to the fabric store right when you wake up! 💕
The instructions are so clear and the dress is so cute and you’re such a delight! I’m so appreciative and a little bit in love 🥰 thank you so much!
I listened to a really long commercial- that’s how much I am impressed by your clear concise instructions!! Yay!

This is a really lovely and concise tutorial!! I'm really glad you mentioned all of the little details because I'm not a super experienced sewer and I may not have thought of everything. Adorable dress and I can't wait to make it!!!
YESSSS I've literally been wanting to make something like this recently!

I just discovered this channel and love the idea behind it! It’s my goal to live a more sustainable and simple life , focus on the important and happy things in my life and support others ❤️
Made my 5 month old daughter this little number and I love love love it!! Thank you 💛
I absolutely love the shorter second tier! I've made this dress twice so far, both with the shorter second tier and I am obsessed with them ❤️ I'm 5'11 (size 10/12 UK) and made this using one side of a single duvet cover (135 x 200cm). - Thought this might be helpful incase anyone is working with thrifted material and not the standard store width :)
This was such a wonderfully easy to follow tutorial! I am a beginner and I could make it within a day, thank you so much for this tutorial! 🦋
My sewing machine is coming this week; I can't wait to try some of your designs! I love that you don't use patterns, rather using clothes you already have.

YAY! Such exciting news. Thank you, it's a process I find so reliable knowing that I'm working off something I already like to wear. Love hearing that you enjoy it also x
You’ve become one of my favorite youtubers during this quarantine! I already did your Bucket hat tutorial and now I want to make this!! ❤️
after watching this video around ~5 times, i finally made this dress! it was my second sewing project ever (after I made your simple tie crop!) and it turned out great!! can't wait to try more designs :~))

i'm a complete beginner and i really want to make this dress for my first sewing real project (i finally bought a sewing machine after wanting one forever to make masks for covid to sell and donate proceeds bc there is a shortage locally) and the fact that you explain everything so clearly and even have suggested sized and everything makes me so happy thank you so much. I love you sustainability values and your channel subscribed :)
honestly this is one of the best beginner-friendly, yet cute and chic, tutorial I've come across! I can't wait to try it. Right now I am just trying to find a place online in the US where i can buy cloth material thats as cute as yours.
I was so excited as soon as I saw the notification. this dress is perfect. I can’t wait to do it, no doubt it’s on my to-do list. So pretty! :) Thank you so much for sharing with us! ;)

Love that!! Thank you so much for your support :)
Thanks for such a detailed tut, it really helps! And i also struggle with sleeves but one helpful tip is that when I am deconstructing a already made shirt, i cut open the sleeves and see how those sleeves were made by inspecting the pattern shape
This video needs to go viral. It is amazing!
I love this! I followed the tutorial, and it was super easy and clear! If you can work a sewing machine you can EASILY make this dress. The dress turned out SO CUTE.
I have made this dress twice in two different fabrics (thrifted single bed sheets). Absolutely love the design and it's so easy to customise! I just did a regular crew neck instead of the collar as I get too hot, and it looks so cute! I also did one with balloon sleeves from Maddie's shirt dress tutorial - ADORABLE.
I just bought some fabric to try this out for myself! Thank you for such a cute and clearly explained project
Omg thank you so much.. I’ve been trying to find tutorials where people use there own clothes as a pattern, cause I don’t like having to use patterns.
Obsessed with this - love the neckline... now to find some cute old fabric I can use to make it! 💛
Wow I love the way you made the sleeve pattern!!😲 As a beginner in sewing I've avoided making clothes with sleeves because they confuse me so much lol but your method makes so much sense to me. Thank you sooo much!
I love your tutorials you make everything so clear and understandable! Thank you so much for sharing!
Its looks adorable, will be trying this for sure!
Found your channel 2 days ago and I have binge watched eeevery single video! I have zero sewing experience but you make it look so straight forward. I want to make everything! 😍 I miss living in Australia wearing flowy clothes every day
Absolutely adore your sewing patterns !! I want to make everything! Can’t wait to add this to my wardrobe. Thank you for posting
I love the top you’re wearing in this video! And the dress came out looking really lovely
I just found your video when searching for plus size dresses and I can't wait to have a go! I love finding oversized dresses made to clothes that fit me. your tutorials are the easiest to follow I've seen so far I can't wait to try! 😊
Love this dress! I need to make my own! I’m also obsessed with your top! So glad you have a video for that one too!💖
Just want to say thank you for making this video. So easy to follow. I didnt make the exact same dress as i didnt have enough fabric but i made a top instead and followed these instructions but wanted to add balloon sleeves so i followed your other video which again was so easy to follow. This is the first time i have ever sewn top and that is thanks to your clear and easy instructions. Great work 👏 👍 👌 love how my top came out! thank you again
I'm planning to buy my first sewing machine and i plan to sew some little projects here and there just to get me started because I am a beginner and I don't really know how to use a sewing machine. But this video inspired me to wish to do something out of my comfort zone. Your instructions are so easy to understand. This is going to be my first sewing project as soon as my sewing machine arrives. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Will binge watch ypur videos.
Great tutorial! Clear and concise instructions. Thank you!
it looks really cool with the shorter edge of the dress and the tutorial is so clea5r and concrete!!

Great tutorial. I'd love to see you do a collab with Rosary Apparel as you both have the same laid back pro vibe and allow us to feel like we could create great clothes.
Love the dress, i love the way you explain everything 💗
This was my second sewing project and YOUR EXPLAINTIONS MADE THIS SO EASY!!! Although I used cotton cuz I had it I added a puffed sleeve and it looks amazing
Due Corona virus I bougth a sewing machine, because I have always want to make my own clothes, and I saw this tutorial. Thank you so much !!! It was so clear to understand and to follow the instruction, hopping for making more sewing proyects!!
I love these tutorials so much, for someone who struggles to understand patterns instructions these are so helpful :)

This is absolutely awesome. This is what I prefer todo...to make my own pattern rather than buying patterns. Great tutorial
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Its the first thing I've ever sewn and your instructions where sooo easy and clear for a beginner to follow 😊 Can't wait to try another of your creations soon. Thank you very much and keep up the awesome videos 🌼
Just love how simple and detailed the instructions were.. i wanna make one like this 😊😊
I am in love with this channel! Thank you so much for the great tutorials. This is the second one I'm making and I've been having such a great time! 🥰
can't wait to make this! Thank you for coming up with this beautiful design :)))
I love your tutorials and I wanted to make a dress like this for so long and I finally feel like I'm experienced enough to try but it would make things so much easier if you used the metric system lol Just an idea you could implement in your next videos (maybe just by adding the text with the sizes in m/cm while editing that come up while you're saying the sizes in inches in the video itself)
i love how you repeat everything
This is so well done!! Thanks ❤
I’ve been procrastinating setting up my sewing machine & this tutorial has motivated me to get out all my supplies & sew! I’m definitely a beginner & you’ve done an incredible job explaining a dress that seems too daunting to attempt. Subscribed & can’t wait to watch the rest of your tutorials!

Great Channel Sis, this is was so easy to follow and relaxing to watch. So glad I find your channel. Thank you for sharing.
I've never ever made any pieces of clothing or really anything, though I'm wanted to get into it and I feel like once I get a sewing machine and understand how to use it, that this tutorial would be perfect!! I love the dress and you explain so well that as a beginner I have no trouble following along and I lile how you suggest different ways for customization 😊
This is so GOOD! Wow you are talented.
Totally want to make this! Will be making them puff sleeves though hehe

This tutorial s very clear and well explained.Easy to follow even for a foreigner like me. I was confused for most of the video when you let the raw edges like that. But then you addressed it at the end XD I like the design of this dress (love baby-doll style dresses), especially the collar part and your dress is very pretty. I'm going to make my own version someday, when I have the right fabric. :)
So so sooo pretty!!! 😍 Greetings from France 😘
