eternally obsessed with your videos, i come back year after year after year to follow your tutorials. They're so detailed and easy to follow, thank you for your generosity with knowledge sharing and making learning to sew your own wardrobe so accessible and easy!!!

I am new to sewing, I watch other YT sewers buy and use commercial patterns to sew clothes and seeing this technique, I am relieved it's not going to be expensive to sew my own clothes.

Literally got some material to make a dress like this and I was just going to wing it. So glad you made this video. This weekends sewing task!

Oh perfect!! Hope this tutorial helps ☺️☺️

So cute! Totally true about the two being day and night pieces!

Thanks for this video! Very helpful to see someone sewing a dress like this. Your dresses turned out beautifully! Anyone watching this for instructions just remember to hang your dress for 24h-48hrs before hemming as the skirt will likely stretch down on one side due to it being on the bias.🤗

Both look fab, the cotton one can definately be dressed up or down. Even wedding day and night outfit. Very nice thank you.

Agreed! I literally was thinking the other day the floral one would be great for a wedding too

Thank you! I have fabric laying around and was searching for a nice and easy dress in that style. Now I found your tutorial and it sounds really easy to follow. 😊

Great tutorial, I haven't realised that i can cut cotton on bias and the dress will be falling more smoothly 🤦 one learns every day. Thank you ❤

Lovely idea, can’t wait to try this one at the weekend. Thank you for sharing! 💗🥰

I was JUST looking for bias cut garment videos to use on a plaid I have this is the best timing

Perfect!! Just what I was looking for and you explain it so well. That looks beautiful on you.

Love the beautiful pattern on the bed sheet💛 such a beautiful design 😊 You look lovely in your dresses😊

Omg! Have been wanting to make this dress for a while. I was so close to just buying one but couldn't bring myself to as they are $80 + ! Can you believe that? This video is exactly what I need. I have a feeling this style dress is going to take over my summer wardrobe !

omg i’ve been wanting someone to make an exact dress like this ahhhhhhh. ive been seeing them for months!!

Aah amazing!! I've been wanting to make a puff sleeve dress with this shape, you broke it down so well, especially all the measurements. Thank you!

Guys, remember at 8:51 to rotate that first top we made so that the diagonal line is straight. Then, sketch it out to make the second top while adding some extra ease for the gathering later on.

Great video! I did notice that it's a problem when the widest point (but) is the bottom width measure as that's the bottom of the dress and not where the but is. As i result I got a dress very tight around my widest point. It seemed that you made the bottom width a lot wider than the circumference of the widest point + 4 / 2. Would be super helpful to also hear your measurements to help with our own calculations for future tutorials

i had the same problem! i'm literally making this dress right now and when i cut the bottom of the dress it didn't fit me at all, had to change the measurements off the top of my head (i have no sewing experience so this was hard lol) how did you solve this when making the dress for yourself??

@alanam.7911

Жыл бұрын

find the distance from your waist to the widest part of your hip, down the front of your body. the top of the skirt will be half of your waist measurement. then, measure that waist-hip distance straight down. there, make the skirt half as wide as your hip measurement. then make the bottom of the skirt equally as wide as the widest part. you’ll end up with a fitted but nicely flowing bias cut skirt! i know explaining that in words is hard, hope it made sense

This is lovely😍😍

These are gorgeous! I love all of your sewing tutorials, and have quite a few book marked to try out, however I was wondering if there was a way to find the warp and weft of the fabric when you are repurposing another item of clothing?

Very nice well done

Absolutely the cutest dress, I'm so exited to try it out :)

Love this! If I wanted to add sleeves, at what point should I add them? Thank you!

I an in love with this dress. With bias cut garments shouldn't you let it grow before you hem it?

Has anyone sorted out how to cut the front bust pieces? I'm having trouble understanding the instructions.

This is so beautiful!! Do you think it would work with a gathered skirt instead of straight slip? :)

Fav dress ever, also where are your shorts from? If you diyed can you share?

these dresses are so so so beautiful! Like a dream! I also wanted to ask whether those ziggy zaggy scissors really work to prevent raw edges? I often do a zig zag stitch but it can get quite bulky- thanks for all your tutorials!!!🥰🥰❤️🐬

does the top part need to be cut on the bias?

What size seam allowance / where on the plate are you follwoing as a guide to sew these pieces? Thanks!

What seam allowance do you use?

Am I insane for wanting to make this dress but the only thing I have sewn were napkins and pijama shorts? I have a wedding in four weeks and I really want to make this, I have a lot of free time as I am on vacation right now. My plan is to make a prototipe first with another fabric before risking it all on the satin.

Hey, thank you for this tutorial! Just wanted to check… is the top part cut on the bias? Wanna make sure before I chop into my fabric 😅

Is there a way to make this without cutting the fabric on the bias? I dont mind using a zipper if needed.

With what seam allowance to do you sew everything?

The more advanced sewers obviously got it, but you can see that there are questions about the seam allowance and cutting the top on the bias. These are basic concepts. Sometimes, your audience has to process the concepts and it helps if you speak slower and leave space between your sentences. Overall, I'm excited about the pattern. It looks easy when you have done a bodice similar to this one, but this is a technique I need to learn. Will be taking notes on the measurement and will keep referring back to your presentation because I really, really like how you made the pattern and how flattering it is. Best slip dress I'm seen! Thank you, very much!

Hi there! Question! Did you cute the 4 top pieces on the bias as well?

@labecquerelle9873

Yes,

hi! how did you figure out (5:46) "which section you wanted to be the top"? should I measure under bust to hip? or under bust to waist? or something else?

I think that's if you are matching patterns.

I tried making this twice and no luck getting the cups to fit my chest right 😥

I would love to replicate this dress with a satin I've got at home BUT... It's one way strech. Do I still cut on the bias or is it gonna be wanky ? Is the stretch acting like a bias ?.. Do I have to put the stretch lengthwise, widthwise (I don't know if this is a real word) or in the bias. Thanks for the help !

@ClaudiaDavZam

Жыл бұрын

If you cut it using the stretch it's going to fit but not have the same drape, that flowy feeling you only got it on the bias. However I'm not sure if you cut on the bias with a stretchy fabric it will stretch later, you'll have to Google that part. As a general rule when working with stretch fabric, the side of maximum stretch goes widthwise because we want the clothes to extend sideways, not lengthwise.

could you make this dress into a top

What’s your body measurements? It would help to understand easily.

Do the bodice pieces need to be on the bias? I think it’s just the skirt right?

@labecquerelle9873

If you follow on with the new transcript that Google provides, the bodice is cut on the bias. I wasn't sure either.

It is supposed to keep the fabric from fraying. Fabrics like cotton and satin tend to fray a lot

Is there a reason you use inches instead of cms?! X

@TheEssentialsClub

2 жыл бұрын

No particular reason. I’ve just found it easier to calculate with smaller numbers and also majority of my viewers are americans which use inches too - when I remember I try say the cm conversion.

Hi! I'm trying out this dress as a beginner, and I am insanely confused at the cutting on bias part, how do I measure out how much I am cutting after getting the 45 degree angle? Because I just measured out 100 cm (roughly 39 inches) on each side of my fabric to create a square which gave me way too much fabric cut off.. I am very very confused haha!

Brutto modo di prendere le misure, per non parlare di come sono state unite le 2 parti del corpetto. Che pasticciona.... 😱

Sorry, but this „Tutorial“ is a complete waste of Time and fabric. Totally disapointed. The hips are way to narrow if you follow along. And the cleveage is WAY to low and i allready added at least 6 Inches. The gathering Part didn‘t work out, because 2 Inches don‘t seem to be not even slightly enough. Nice to Watch, but that’s actually it for this…
