This is a really cute pattern, However, if it were me, I would create a pattern piece for the skirt. Given the fact that it has a dropped waist, you simply cannot just cut a big rectangle for the skirt, gather one side, and then attach it to the bodice expecting it to look good. If you did that, you would end up with an uneven hem and a strange pucker in the front below the "V", which is what your video shows. The skirt piece must take into account the dropped "V" waistline. I have been sewing for over 50 years and can modify your pattern so that the result it what is intended. However, if you have beginners trying to make this dress, they are going to waste a lot of fabric, time, and money on the skirt part. Just my two cents.

Thank you so much for your feedback!! I was having trouble with that bit and tried a few different things but all seemed to have that bunching. I’d love to hear more of what you had in mind if you’re willing to share 💗

Yea I’m having trouble understanding the skirt part as well. It’s just a flared out rectangle?
Finally getting a chance to sit down and watch this tutorial in depth! I first wanted to say 'thank you' for all of your hard work in to editing this video, creating the physical product itself, and also taking the time to make this a free pattern for us! I know how much work it takes to do this, and your dedication to this art is not unnoticed by me!!! With that being said, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS -- 1. How much yardage did you use for this project, or how much do you recommend? 2. Do the pattern pieces in your tutorial also inlaced the lining (for example: your pattern says "SIDE FRONT CUT 4X) - Does that include the lining? // Thank you so much again, and I look forward to all that you create in the future! You have a huge supporter over here x

Thank you so much for your kind words! 1) As far as the amount of fabric I’d probably recommend 4 yards. It’s quite a bit of gathering for the skirt. I used the duvet cover that was about 2.5 yards but that was two layers of fabric making it 5 yds in total. I didn’t use all of the fabric though. 2) Yes! The number of cuts per piece does include the lining pieces. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see what you make. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Really excited that I found your channel! I really enjoy that you share so much of your fitting and ‘figuring it out’ process from the beginning until the end. That teaches me a lot and helps me to envision how I could approach similar projects! Thank you ❤
ive been thinking about this pattern non stop since i saw it months ago, and i FINALLY found it again!!! so excited to try this pattern

This is so beautiful. I definitely want to try to make it. Thank you for providing the free pattern. I know that's a lot of work. But honestly I wouldn't be able to try making it if it was a paid pattern. I have some pretty big financial goals im working towards so they are a higher priority than a pattern at the moment.
I always think about the hardest sewing project possible and start it trully beliving that I'll finish in the same day, but end it up taking me weeks lol

Such a beautiful dress, you have amazing skills! I do think the V in the front is a little to low (personal preference). Great work - crazy to think that was duvet cover!! 🥰🥰🥰
I think the original pattern would have worked if you had not gathered the side skirt panels. You could've just cut them into a tapered flare on each side.
AHHHHH YAAAASSS
The last dress with the puffed up straps- will you be creating a pattern for that in the future? It looks gorgeous I'd love to make something like that! Also this dress turned out amazing

Love this dress so much! Also if you're still looking for a video editor I would be super interested.
thank you for the free pattern! loved the dress. I have a question, tho- how do you line up the pattern? like am I supposed to overlap the papers or keep it lined up side by side? I wanted the size of XS and it's really long (the back part and front were like to my knees!) so I was wondering if I'm doing it right! (it will still be long if I overlapped too.. which is why I asked!) also, in the video you mentioned about the other detailed tuition video of this dress? or did you mean something else? Thank you!!
Hello, I just discovered your channel through IG. And you made me fall in loveeeee 😍 I so much love your style because it's modest and not TOO OUT THERE like 80% of American girls on social media. Totally followed and subscribed everywhere 😊 i also sew and can't wait to make this dress too! Thank you💕
This is my first time on your channel. That dress is absolutely fabulous. It looks stunning on you. I am so impressed with your skills as a pattern draper. Do you do flat pattern drafting as well? And the construction is really well done. The one criticism I have (well, two) have to do with the front "vee" in the skirt. I think it would look a bit cleaner if that were a seam rather than a gather there. It looks a bit "bunchy" and isn't falling correctly. A center front seam would correct that. Secondly, and this is purely a design choice,, the dip kinda looks like a crotch arrow. Not trying to point out (pun intended) anything unseemly, as I realize that that's how you wanted the dress to look, just sayin'. Anyway, it's a really well-done garment, and you look fabulous in it. But, what with your physique, you'd look good in a burlap sack.
This is so beautiful! I want to make a dress like this for a wedding this summer but is it possible to modify so that it has thin straps rather than the boat neck?
This is a gorgeous design! I'm a video editor and I have some experience with sewing. I would be interested to discuss the video editor role.
I’m new to your channel and I love the dress! You could cut the shorter side shorter and let it be a fashion statement 😊

I love this! Thank you so much for the pattern and the tutorial. Do you know approximately how much fabric is needed ?
@TiaHrubala

If I had to guess I’d recommend 4 yards! The duvet cover that I used was about 2 1/2 yards, but it was two layers of fabric, making it 5 yards in total. I didn’t used all of the duvet cover, but the skirt takes quite a bit of fabric!
Hey! If I were to add boning, would I add it from the neckline all the way down to the skirt, along the front side piece seams? I was thinking of adding it but wanted to get some guidance :)
can you pleeease share where is your top from, ive been looking for exactly that for months
Hey, this looks so pretty🤩 Would you recommend this pattern for a beginner like me? I loooooove the stripes, but I might use fabric without a pattern on it if I try to make this dress (because the stripes make it more difficult I think…). Which size did you use? I’m also thinking of making a top from the free pattern :) TYSM for this video and the free pattern💞

Stripes can be tricky! If you're up for a challenge go for the stripes, but if you want to make it a little easier a solid fabric would look nice as well. I used the XXS Size!

Did anyone figure out how to do the skirt? I’ve completed the bodice which looks beautiful - I’m using a bedsheet and have ended up trying to gather the one long rectangle for the skirt and it’s just not working out with the point in the front of the bodice. If the front was straight across I know it would work but I reeeeally want to keep it how it’s shaped…
@centuarmeat

This is a skirt shape I've been really struggling to find tutorials/patterns for. I am planning to cut a rectangle like she says, but I'll pin it straight across. While it's still pinned straight I'll do a second gathering and pinning along the waistline. After that I can unpin the straight part and trim the extra fabric. Planning to try that with the muslin mockup so I can reference that skirt pattern shape for future projects
Not sure if you already found someone to help you out, but if not reach out to me! I love video editing and study fashion design :)
