My name is Sharon and I make sewing DIY videos :)

#selkie they're iconic!

fabric:

i used 5 metres of fabric (148cm width) i recommend getting 6m if you intend on using circle skirts for all of skirt layers. Your outer circle skirt needs quite a lot of fabric -otherwise you can just gather a long rectangular piece (this will use much less fabric, stick with 5m in this case)

Hey guys! I want to clarify some points regarding the measurements (I was really rushing to get this video out and if you start analysing the numbers closely they might not add up perfectly, sorry!! my 2am editing brain wasn't super switched on 😭)
• the sleeve: the measurements i have up are the final measurements (75cm x 50cm)
• my underbust was 32in, so it should split into 16inch (+1 inch seam allowance) each, (but I seem to have used 18inch by accident!)

the pattern measurements and shapes are meant as a guide only and should be followed loosely - to get the best fit, just start with some basic pieces that look similar and make a practice bandeau as I mention in the video. This is going to get you the best fit.

Also some other common Qs:
• I used 5m of fabric, but if your fabric is too sheer maybe get a little more. (alternatively, instead of using a circle skirt on the outer skirt, maybe use a rectangular pieces that is about 2.5-3x your underbust circumference, but I have not actually tried this so please use this advice with discretion)
• my dress was two layers (bandeau and skirt)


thanks :)

I am sitting on my studio floor, watching the grinch and making this dress using your tutorial. So excited to see the end results!

Kinda rude how the dress she made looks better than the original. THE AUDACITY.

[teablooded]

I've been looking at this dress for a while and you've made it seem doable. I think I'm going to make this my first project in 2021!

I’d love a whole video on how you figure out the patterns for your dresses after you sketch the dresses, like at 3:04 when you’ve got the pattern pieces drawn out. I’m a beginner who also wants to dupe designer dresses from scratch so it would be super helpful!

[toriirons]

This dress is such a DREAM wow!!! I love how the skirt is so floaty and the sleeves have the perfect puff! Well done on this!

[madds]

I'm scared to make it especially with organza bc I've never worked with that before but I NEED this dress and I refuse to spend copious amounts of money when I could make it myself. Maybe I'll make it in like a year

This looks so cute!!
I made a bandeau top the other week, and I ended up drafting it by pinning fabric directly onto my bra and basting in all the darts I needed. Just a handy tip for all the rest of the beans in the sewpod who have bigger busts (like me!) and cannot figure out curves at all.

Tipp: I use the sleeve of one of my dad’s old shirts as a pattern to make puffed sleeves

[amielortega]

I love it when youtubers actually wear normal wrinkly home clothes, makes me feel motivated that i can also do this in my wrinkly home clothes. Amazing project!

[momostudioo]

She is glowing with confidence! The talent! The charisma! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾⭐️🌈

[beatolan]

Honestly one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen! Knowing its possible to make these types of dresses with skill and patience is inspiring me to pick up sewing. Thank you :)

[AlejandraStamato]

being able to make your own clothes is just next level of talent.

[CIMWORLD]

I've watched a lot of different youtubers who've given explanations on how to make an item, and this honestly has been the first one so far that I've felt confident to do. As a beginner, it's hard to understand the break down, but how you've done it has made it seem very simple and helpful :) Really really appreciate that!

When I saw those sleeves my heart actually started beating faster hahaha

[dietmntdew]

Sewing is like a on and off hobby for me. Watching these videos makes me want to see more.

[alize]

I’m basically using this pattern with a ridiculously smaller proportions to make a Cinderella dress for my daughter. The straight cut torso with poofy sleeves and short poofy skirt is exactly what I wanted and the fabrics are similar to what other videos recommended. Thanks for this upload!

[boba]

What makes this video beautiful is how she added her mistakes and realizations all together with perfection💖

[atinypirate]

With that fabric, this is just the perfect modern-day take on the regency dress and I love it. I definitely will have to try my hand at it

[SariniyaKiyu]

I decided to sew a dress similar to what you made. I was initially looking for puff sleeves tutorial, but your video was so comforting i loved it wholeheartedly ❤ i do not feel like its going to be scary!! Thank you!
