Hi everyone,

Welcome or welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Jess and I love doing DIY, making clothes in a "simply but pretty" way.

Today's video is one of the most requested DIY from you guys. It's the Cottagecore dress that lot of you asked for.
The design of this dress is the popular one that you can see everywhere for this fashion. And it's perfect for summer. So I hope you will try it out.

To make this dress, please check out my basic information below:
- Sewing machine: Merrit Joyful Sewing
- Material: 3m of soft cotton fabric
- My body measurements: 82-64-92. I'm 165cm tall and usually wear Small size

And stay connected together around social media here:

Have a lovely day!

Cheers,
Jess

Can I just say, I love how she doesn't use any fancy, curved rulers and tools to make her patterns. Usually kills my motivation in other DIY videos.
Thanks for keeping it simple Jess

These videos keep getting better and better! This dress will be the fifth thing I make from you. I feel like you really take any suggestions seriously and are constantly trying to improve your videos and it really shows! It’s been great learning to sew using your content. I find it much easier than store bought sewing patterns most of the time.

Thank you for the pattern drafting tutorial! It's always frustrating as a bigger girl when patterns dont go up to my size and now I can just make my own :)

I'm so glad that you explain where each measurement comes from, so that way, everyone of all sizes can follow along too! Keep up the beautiful work and it's been fun to see you grow!

At last! I’ve found someone who explains everything clearly ! Thank you. Even the way you show how and where to measure yourself….this really, really helps me…I can’t thank you enough. I now feel I can sew this dress…following your clear instructions. Thank you again, I’ve just subscribed.

I just made this dress, it turned out lovely!! There's a strawberry festival in my town next month and I made it in a strawberry pattern fabric, I'm so excited to wear it :) A lot of other videos for the same dress were so complicated, thank you for making it so easy to follow and explaining what all the measurements mean!

Bought a sewing machine at the weekend. This is the first project i'm undertaking! As a newbie, this was a challenge (i'm not finished yet, im about 3 days in, on and off throughout the day) but i'm so close to finishing and I'm really proud of myself! I've enjoyed all of it. Thank you for letting us access this video!

Literally every dress I want to try to make she has on her channel, for free, with step by step instructions. I'm a beginner so I cant quite see buying a 15$ pattern for a dress like this. I just love this woman and her channel.

[kittymalcolm]

Jess, this is why I follow you! Clear instructions from drafting a pattern, cutting the fabric, sewing, and finishing. You are so tallented and a natural born teacher!!!

Everything you make is beautiful and feminine — and you are so lovely in your creations! I’ve made two of your dresses and I love them so much. Even though I’m at least twice your age I feel young and pretty in them! I’m going to make this one for my daughter. Thank you, Jess, for your talent and generosity ❤️

[maiibellynetups]

I really appreciate the way you teach us the pattern and measurements 💛💛💛.
If you have scrap satin fabric ms. Jess can you show us how to make cowl neck top 😊 I just can't understand the tutorials I had watched. If only you're ok doing it Ms. Jess. Thank you 😘😇

[elirei]

I love how you can always adjust the measurements to your own exact one's! Somehow fascinating, haha
Love your tutorials!

[ravenserpent]

This is exactly what I was looking for😩💜 looking online done of the dresses made in this pattern are over $150, I definitely respect somebody being paid for their craft, but I just simply cannot afford it. I find myself in the diy side of YouTube for motivation

[rakshakannan]

This has to be one of the most technical yet comprehensive tutorials yet, thanks~

[viviantam]

Thank you so much for explaining how you made this from scratch! I've had a hard time understanding patterns and how to freestyle pattern making and this broke it down so well

[JosyFiorenttino]
