I think it's great that you show where you mess up. A lot of us get discouraged when we see nothing but the picture-perfect end result and think "Why can't I be like that?" Not knowing we actually ARE like that, but we just don't see the mistakes on camera. Thanks for being genuine and showing what it's like to get frustrated but not give up.

Absolutely….I thought I was the only one that messed up! Now I feel a lot better!

The seam tape to hold the pocket in place is genius. I’m incorporating this into all my inseam pockets from now on!!

Your command of striping is stellar. The diagonal stripes down the center is the bomb. It makes the dress in my opinion. I recently fell in love with a blue stripe cotton challis and was looking for an excuse to buy a few yards. So thank you!

I really appreciate the time you took at the end to show variations of the dress with different design features. Everyone likes to customize their work, and this is very inspirational!

Wow you’re dress is lovely. Thank you for leaving in the redo! Even though we all know that no one gets things perfect all the time it’s nice to have a reminder! Besides I find I learn something every time this happens to me. Sometimes it’s a complicated learning sometimes it a reinforcement that I shouldn’t sew complicated things late into the night!

Wow, I have this EXACT dress on my clothing ideas interest board! Its reassuring to see someone more skilled than myself going through similar garment construction woes. I love the hand finishing. Very useful video! And I'd say your dress turned out well!

The comparison of the two ways of lining of the same garment is worth it.

A lovely dress, well made👍🏼 and you did the right thing with the rooster. It showed dominance agression, to 'protect his territory and chicks... and by picking him up, you showed him who's boss... I'd walk around for at least 20/30 min with him like that, myself. Feed it yummy grub treats or something, and he'll be alright sooner, rather than later.

Thanks for showing us the exciting "fun" parts, it's nice seeing people with vastly more experience and knowledge still don't always get it right the first time, and showing us how you fix it teaches us more than showing how to do it correctly from the start.... and also I love how you force-cuddle the rooster to make him leave you alone, my bunny responds the same way!

Hands down best construction method. Seriously so beautiful. Bag lining can go die.

Gorgeous! A well-fitted dress is always super flattering, and you look amazing in it! You see fit issues that honestly I did not see at all when you showed off the dress. Recognizing fit issues that you want to improve techniques for in future garments is fine. But this dress is fantastic as it is, and I expect you could wear it with pride for many years to come!

Mariah, can I just say that your videos are what inspired me to start sewing? Even though I'm a beginner and can't follow a lot of what you're doing, there's something about way you show your whole creative process, the different ideas, the planning, the experiments, the mistakes and problem solving, the results and how you feel about them, that made me really excited about sewing! It feels like this big journey of discovery that's rewarding even when things don't turn out exactly how you planned.

Planning a wrap dress... your timing is perfect to keep me going ✨️

Yes! order more fabric! fulfill your dress dreams!

First: I identify SOOOO deeply with hand stitching shoulder seams to ensure the lines match up perfectly. (It just makes the brain and eyes calm and happy.) Being meticulous in our sewing creates such a lovely garment and even though it’s exhausting while you’re working, the pride when you wear it it so empowering 🥰 Second: I love my chickens too! I will often stop and check on them when I need a brain break. Third: How have I never found you on KZread before? You have a new subscriber friend!

Mariah! I really appreciate you going in-depth with mistakes and frustrations in construction. I feel like a lot of folks in the costuming/sewing community on KZread are doing a great job at sharing where things went a little weird. I love watching your videos while I sew! May your bobbin thread never run out

Ohhh...yeah. Been there done that 😆. Sometimes the sewing gods just aren't on your side. Thanks for sharing your failed attempts - it's as much of a learning opportunity as watching a successful attempt, imo. And far more entertaining 😉 The end result is very pretty though. I do love sleeveless dresses with wide skirts. I find them very flattering and comfortable and it's always easy, to throw it on a cardigan or something for warmth. Put on thights and boots and you can wear them till winter. So versatile.

Your animations to explain your process are fantastic! Thanks for including them.

That dress is so cute! I love your remake, especially how you styled it with the red shoes. Despite the hiccups in the process, it's a fabulous summer piece!

Love the chicken update! I just finished my chicken tractor and we are supposed to be getting chickens very soon.

I really like seeing the entire process and remakes and redos.

20:40 the button placket needs the interfacing specially because it was cut in an angle.. Lovely dress and all the working process. I understand the struggle. I'm a little bit of perfectionist too. I don't like my garments to look like handmade. learned a lot from you. I enjoyed the whole video, I was in need of motivation to start sewing. Sorry my English,

In English, you don't want your garments to look "homemade," which is that very basic, somewhat sloppy, beginner look with no neat finishes. Handmade is actually what you would strive for, as that means a more neat construction and designer finishing. Such similar words, but with opposite meanings in the sewing/making world!

@@MrsBrit1 Thank you so much for explaining in such a respectful way🤗 Sometimes other people correct not only me but others in a mean way. Every day I learned something new regarding English, and in sewing too. I will never forget the meaning of handmade and homemade. Have a beautiful day.

Love the chickens - Cluckingham Palace 😊

I love how detailed your video was. Thanks for sharing.

Great Job!!!!!! I LOVE the Chicken Bits!!!! Thank you for relaying the "human" bits for us

That stripe matching is just👌chef's kiss. You know, you could dye those plastic buttons. You'd need to account for the yellowing in regards to color of course. I'm guessing the plastic is acrylic, so you may need a specific dye for artificial fabrics. maybe some really strong coffee could shift them more tan than yellow?

I've been wanting to make myself a wrap dress, but I'm taking forever to get my head wrapped around the construction of a basic bodice block. I found a tutorial by Chris Sartorial just yesterday and it finally makes sense! He also explains some of the fit issues and how they should be fixed. Super helpful! Hopefully I can mash up his bodice with your wrap pieces and finally have a wrap dress that actually covers the cleavage!

It's so nice to see people who are more experienced than I am make mistakes that I make. I feel so stupid sometimes, but I'm committed to being more than just a novice sewist.

The dress is beautiful

Spent a day wrestling a corset mock up so it was refreshing to watch your video. Love the vibrancy of the roosters comb. The dress is lovely and spring like.

Thank you so much for showing your miss-steps, makes "regular" sewer feel so much better when our projects don't work the first time.

So much perfection....I'm inspired.

I'm a newbie sewist and I've tried making a very similar dress last year, inspired by one pinterest picture. I've failed miserably and I'm so excited to watch this video and learn about all the *obvious* things I did wrong 😆

omg I had the same problems with the bodice being too tight and I did the thing with moving of the dart too! Maybe I wasn't doing as terrible of a job as I thought I was

Was fun to watch and I can emphasize with pushing skill and redoing things. I learned much of my sewing by screwing up on epic proportions and tossing stuff into the trash. Then later I would try again from new. In attempting what is new to me, I end up buying twice the needed amount of fabric. I normally make my lined bodices like you originally tried to. It takes a while but I've since learned to do pipped edges too. Most tell me that my sewing is a monument to anal retentive behavior.

This turned out beautifully! I always make a mock-up of something if I’m altering my block pattern that much though. It may have saved you some $$

I like seeing the problems creators run in to and how they choose to solve them. Thanks for including that.

I’m almost done with mine, thanks to your video. I have a white-gray striped fabric that I bought from a deadstock merchant in Belgium. I cut the stripes in the fronts like the picture shows it, I also staystitched both layers. I still have to work on my gathers but I think it’s ok like so. I now have the dreaded buttonholes to make and I’m afraid I’ll ruin the dress because my buttonhole foot just keeps 🔩 with me. 😅 Thanks for the video!

I just love when my brain takes a nice simple project and makes it 100 times more complicated. Also, CHICKENS! So cute 🥰

Adorable dress for you. I'm impressed with the way you overcame the issues you came across. Job well done. I like what and how you did you pocket. I'm going to try the French Seam next time. Thanks so much.

A long time ago I made a beige seersucker dress that was similar and loved it. Can't stop thinking about it every summer. Maybe I need to sew another wrap seersucker stripe dress but this time I think I prefer blue or pink!

This dress was one of my first EVER pins on pinterest all those years ago, definitely on my to make list as well. 😊

I actually like more this kind of videos, more like a vlog than a tutorial. I already know how to sew and it's interesting to see other people's sewing process.

I love this dress! And I’m excited for the capsule wardrobe video!

What a lovely dress!

I love watching your videos! I've been sewing clothing for about 55 years but always did just the basic patterns. They have changed the way they do those and now the facings don't come out very nice. It's so nice to see you doing them the right way. Love all your handwork. Very nice!

I love the comparison of the different construction techniques. Very informative. Thank you.

It's really lovely to watch your process, including the mistakes and fixing them. I've just sandwiched a bodice I'm working on into a waistband and am going to copy your technique when I sew it! I love your capsule wardrobe videos so am looking forward to your next video! Thanks!

Thanks for showing the whole process!

I really enjoy the learning process as well! It really shows what can go wrong and how to make it right. :)

I learned so much from watching this! Goodness. I’ve always sewed - but now I am starting to sew clothing for myself. It is very wonderful to see you make something so lovely and also the process it took to get there.

I absolutely love all charts that showed what changes you were making. I don't sew so it made the process so much easier to understand. Dress looks absolutely gorgeous!

I just rewatched this about five different times because this is the *best* explanation I've seen about how to set French-seamed pockets (and I apparently have the memory of a goldfish since I had to rewatch every time I finished a step). And it worked! Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed watching you make this dress. You explain everything, which helps me to learn. Thank you.

Wonderful wrapped dress. I've been in my craft room all day working on a new princess bodice, so I totally understood your final words regarding adjustments. Looks great. Looking forward to your next video.

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for including the mess-up, the process review and most of all the cost break-down, even excluding the "pantry staples" as I like to call them, it was super neat to see.

Thank you, Mariah.

I love your chicken updates 😁

Thank you for sharing the project struggles too. We all go through it. So relatable. Your perseverance is inspiring as always

Amazing video as always. Thanks for sharing the good and bad

Love how this turned out. The satisfaction of playing with striped lines and getting them where you want them!! Yes thiabproject had some snags but oh man was it worth the redo. I appreciate you sharing them with us.

I really appreciate that you correct what you don't like rather than pushing forward and living with the results. For myself, I have found that I learn so much more and it is very satisfying when getting the results as wanted or expected. I also love wrap around dresses and skirts, and your custom fit is beautiful.

As well as the second version turnout I still would love to see if you can make the first lining with interfaced fabric turn out one another project.

So happy you didnt give up.. the dress turned out amazing 😍

Sucha good explanation in patterning!! Thank uuu

You are so amazingly talented, this turned out beautifully. Thank you for showing your trials and tribulations as they arise and how you work around them, even when it's a complete remake.

What a gorgeous dress! Well done!

Such a pretty dress. I like how you included both construction attempts, and I really like the underlining method with the felled seams. Something I might try in the future!

I’ve never drafted my own pattern, but the design of facings always mystified me. I love how you showed this. That makes so much sense and is so cool!

Wow! You're amazing! The dress looks great and the tutorial is also great! Well done!

I have a striped fabric that I’ve been waiting to make, and this has inspired me to try using it for a wrap dress pattern than I have. :)

Loved seeing the chickens again!

I LOVE this. And appreciate you showing the mishaps. I am a (probably overly) confident beginner, I hope I get to this level someday! This is maybe my dream project.

Excellent job.

I liked the chicken update.

It is a lovely dress and looks wonderful on you. The fabric reminds me of one I used to make overalls for my twins. I love the stripes!

I love it all done and love the tutorial.

You make great content! Thank you for sharing!

I love your pocket technique! I'm definitely filing that away to try out later

woo that's a beautifully made dress. love the material too! Nice to see how its almost many other dresses and you could make a lot of different looks from this base idea pattern : )

5:50 that's it! You broke sewing down to its bare essentials!

Another small bit of bodice pattern advice I have would be to do a mockup if you're raising or lowering the neckline very much. I tend to always get gaping when I lower a neckline, I think just because it needs to lay flatter against the top of the chest, as opposed to a high neckline, where the fabric sort of floats above (depending on how your shaped I guess)

I came here for the sewing content but when I heard you mention chickens I involuntarily exclaimed aloud "She has chickens!" drawing weird looks from my cat, and immediately hit subscribe.

I love wrap dresses and, yeah, without fail I always need to take out that 1/4" - 3/8" on the wrap neckline. So now I just do that in the pattern drafting stage. You drafted it out perfectly. The Closet Historian also has a wrap top video that illustrates how to pattern out the neckline dart really clearly. I really appreciate that French Seamed pocket. I'm going to try it that way the next time I make a skirt. Your dress turned out beautifully!

Amazing job...Jobs.... excelente explanation.... you are a researcher!!!

What a great video! I'm a weird body shape so I do a lot of modifications on patterns. I love seeing your feather babies. We just had 3 Royal Palm Turkey eggs hatch yesterday. I can't wait to see how they develop 💟

This is my first time viewing your channel, and I am more than impressed that you attempted to make this dress. Your talent is amazing.

Oh wow the dress looks so good!! The mess ups were worth it!

My neighbor has the same chicken coop as you and all her hens lay in the same spot that's so funny! I really appreciate you keeping in all the little missteps. Not only is it valuable information, it gives me confidence to keep going with my own projects even though I keep making mistakes.

I love your sewing content, but I also love your chicken content! 😍💞 Glad you included some in this video!

Omg i struggled so much with that gapping last week when I was making my wedding dress !!! I don’t know how many mock-ups I did and finally found out that indeed, since the front panel doesn’t lay away from the deep of the breast like in regular dresses, but against it, you can’t just flat pattern easy from your block, you indeed need to have the waist go up in order to pull down that neck line inside the deep of the breast !!! Thanks for explaining those darts, because it still was unclear ❤️

Do you feed oyster shells? Lack of calcium can cause thin, breakable egg shells.

Love the idea of the foam in the nesting boxes for the eggs, also, if you hang the water containers a couple of inches above the ground, the chickens/turkeys will not be able to dirty the water so easily.

This video deserves a like and subscribe. Look at those stripes!
