When I studied sewing in the school, I was taught to hang the bias skirt for a few days before sewing the hem. This technique makes the skirt is more lively and beautiful.

Yes, it allows the bias in the fabric to stretch when it hangs and therefore when you put in the hem you don't end up having to adjust it later.

I definitely do this absolute must

The dress is fabulous! I find with my sewing that the maxi dresses that I sew that get the most compliments are the ones that push me out of my comfort zone and I think “I look ridiculous and I can’t leave the house wearing this”. Wear the dress. You will get attention and compliments but life is too short to not have fun!

This dress really reminds me of medieval garments. The side bodice especially is reminiscent of the gussets in those garment’s construction. Either way it looks lovely. 🥰

Wow. That dress is incredible. Unfortunately I'm overweight and it would probably look like a circus tent on me, but you look absolutely beautiful in it. You have a new subscriber :)

The dress is gorgeous Janelle, looks amazing on you. So dreamy and floaty and so feminine...... makes me think of something Maid Marian would wear in a Robin Hood movie.

Okay I'm now obsessed with this dress! It's beyond my skill level but that sounds like future-me's problem

Janelle, I do a lot of sewing in my life. I am in school for costume design and I work at a tailor shop. But I don’t spend a lot of time sewing for myself. You continually inspire me to create more timeless pieces for my wardrobe. I watched this while sewing my own dress form! Hopefully it leads to lots of future projects.

That’s so lovely to hear! Thanks for watching, and I’m glad I could keep you company while you sew x

You should put your cutting table on 4x4 blocks of wood. It will make the height so much nicer for cutting!

Maybe better for sewing too, maybe. I noticed how much Janelle was stooped over the sewing machine (sorry, couldn't think of a more elegant way of putting it) and how much that ends up hurting after a few hours... It does me, when I sew or craft... Our heads weigh like 7lbs and it strains our neck and back muscles in this position. Same for when we spend too much time on our cell phones. Ugh. Ergonomics!

I'd love this as a blouse... you make it look so easy! You must have the most patient hands in the world.

One day would you mind showing us your sewing fails or half completed projects? I have a bunch... and sometimes I feel like I'm alone. 😅 Love your videos and outfits. 🥰

I made a dress for my daughter... tried the bodice on before the next step, too small, so made a bigger bodice and decided to use the smaller one for a matching dress for her sister. More than 2 months later (I don't even remember) I'm finally finishing it today. I hope.

I agree with you about Rayon. Cool and still with that dreamy movement. Definitely my favourite for summer in Australia. I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing your dress at any time for anything!

Oooh now I'm looking forward - still new with fabrics, but recently bought some rayon in the hopes that it would be a good option to try.

As sooooon as I saw you repost this I went and made the dress! I love your commentary because that definitely was me the entire time I was sewing...lol like how is this going to work and then it all came together. The true definition of trust the process!

@@oumaziza707 Janelle didn't pattern this dress. She purchased and downloaded the pattern from an online store. Once downloaded, you can print and tape together the pages, then selecting your size and cutting along your size lines to get your pattern pieces. Hope this helps!

Love that dress! you should sew another one with the elven style sleeves. They both look good.

You look lovely in this dress. I'm with you in the love of rayon, so flowy to wear. Good job.🏆

this dress is the best dress I've ever seen. you look incredible in this baby!

I had a dress with this style of bodice shape with a high polo neck in a satin rayon which was my favourite maxi dress so comfortable. 1979 it remained part of my wardrobe until 2000 the material just gave up the ghost.

The dress looks beautiful on you and it’s interesting to hear you talk about a pattern that challenges you , good video I loved it👍🏻

It's very similar to the Bella Loves Patterns, the Linda dress. It is very different than what you have made previously. That being said, well done you on making a dress that's outside your norm and trying to decipher the tricky aspects of it. You look fabulous. 😊

Hi, does the linda dress have a deep neckline like this or is it less deeper than this one?

@Elle-py8pf

8 ай бұрын

​@@bandanarathoreThis pattern is super easy to Google (just type "Bella Loves Patterns, the Linda Dress"). Your question is a bit hard to answer since they have two different neckline styles. The Linda Dress has more of a wide scoop neckline while this is more of a plunging one (not sure the name). So this dress shows a tad more cleavage. However the Linda Dress shows more skin as it displays the neck, collarbones, skin above the cleavage and some shoulders. But it doesn't show cleavage. So....they're technically both "deep" necklines but they have a different style to them. I really just recommend Googling it as your version of "deep" may be different from mine.

Lovely dress Janelle, well done cause it was quite complicated. Hangs beautifully…love it…

I had an inkling that the side bodice and sleeve would be like a gore or gussets so it was cool to see it in action

Saw this on your Instagram today and I've been thinking about it since. I'm obsessed! So happy you posted the video so soon 🥹❤️ what a treat!

Well done you! What a fantastic project to start back with and how successful is it! Looks absolutely beautiful on you.. if the colour of the zip tab at the back worries you..maybe go to a model shop and buy a tiny pot of paint to colour it to match…just a thought… I’d like to see you do another of these patterns…maybe a floral fabric and shorter length…

I am watching you video after such a long time. I missed you so much

Janelle, I would never attempt this pattern. I felt stressed just watching you cut it out, but you nailed it beautifully! In a word your dress is stunning and fits you perfectly. While watching your video I had a vision of medieval knights in shining armour on horseback, galloping through a forest accompanied by a maiden with flowing long hair and wearing this same coloured dress, the sleeves and skirt billowing around her. You are that maiden Janelle! Thank you for such a detailed video on the construction process. The rayon fabric is so right for the design.🐾🥰

Such a cute dress!!

I absolutely love this dress. Very inspiring.

This dress is gorgeous !!

words can not describe how GORGEOUS you are in that dress!!! very 'trust the process' fun and it is exquisite!! the color is perfect on you!! it matches your sweeter and it looked like a lot of other stuff in your wardrobe. it would be stunning with black accents. a shawl or the sunglasses are awesome. if you ever have a mind to recreate it, you could totally go with the fairy princess sleeves. you have the perfect figure for this. for some one that is more lumpy like myself, it would show every curve. you are very talented and i loved watching this!!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎

Love it, just gorgeous ❣
