I just completed this dress... I love it! I I upcycled a vintage embroidered white cotton tablecloth. It is the most comfortable dress! Thank you for the pattern and tutorial.

I took sewing classes at school, and this has come in so handy, I just dont like how some people take advantage of my skills without remuneration.

Just sewed this lovely dress and I struggled with the turn up. So I made another and did the turn ups on the flat before sewing side seams together. So much easier for my brain. I also added pretty external pockets which I love. Thank you so very much for all the hard work that I know goes into creating a garment and then filming for utube. Excellent work and a joy to watch you create. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

So, i've watched your video and saved it to make it when I came across the right material. I thrifted a very beautiful white cotton curtain with a hombre effect bluish flowers across bottom and i had to do it. I didn't cut in half i used the with for front and back bodice and cut top of curtain for the shoulder straps and chest placket. It turned out so beautiful. I'm so proud of myself. I'm a begginer sewer 😊.

I made chest placket 12 inches and it's a bit loose under the arms, so next one w be 10 inches. I'm a size 10 but i use 12s or 14s for a looser fit and the dress ended up as a 14ish. 😊😊

Thank you so much❤

Looking thru my fabric stash to make more ❤😂 and more shower curtains when thrifting.

Thank you for for giving very clear, understandable patterns and clear instructions. I've watched a LOT of sewing videos over the last few days, and your is the best I've seen so far.

Buying sheets is such a great idea! I do it sometimes, too. This dress is perfect! I am, totally in love with it! Thank you for the video!

I finished the dress today. I added zippers to the pockets. That was a challenge since I haven't done that in years. Many thanks for the beautiful dress and directions. Enjoy your videos.

Wow, I have just thought of what I can do instead if cutting off the bottom of a long dress, I can do your layer idea instead. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with us and hello from Queensland Australia. 😊

I love the pleats at the bottom! Great tutorial

This type of dress is also nice under a wrap dress on hot, breezy days.

So beautiful. If I can find a white linen sheet and dye it to that sage color, I’d be really happy 😁

[lindadavis]

Your creation turned out beautifully and the fabric was perfect for lounging. Great job.

[denisenoble]

Hl, how can something so simple be so pretty too. Thanks for sharing. Am going over to your page to check out other videos. Your talk through was also good, no rush, no unusual word, easy to follow alone. Perfect

[rosaelinav]

I really love this comfortable dress 🩶🩶🩶🩶

I believe it’s better to sew the placket to the gathered bodice with the gathers face down so that the feed dogs move the gathers along smoothly. This works for me.

[brendaseaborn]

You’re most welcome Claire. I practiced with a piece of paper to get my head round it 😊
