What dress pattern would you add to the list?

Oh, my goodness. Your description of a house dress took me down memory lane. My grandmother wore a house dress that fit your description of a house dress to a T. Faux leather shirt dress? Yes!!!! Love that idea. Great video, Sharon.

It is hot and humid in ArkieLand in the summer and that it a good reason to wear a dress. Lots more air circulation going on down South. Love the patterns you showed. Thanks.

What a great balanced presentation of dress shapes and styles. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of both Big 4 and Indie patterns. You really do your homework! Could you consider addressing the challenge of sewing for small small busted women? I have always struggled with bodice fitting and darts are my nemesis because they create so much unneeded space. Small bust adjustment just doesn't help and the solution is not to only sew knits. It would be wonderful if someone in the sewing community would give this issue some serious attention. I would love to find a well-designed dress with a dartless bodice.

Those are great suggestions. I want to make shift dresses. I have a few patterns pulled. A tee shirt dress is a great suggestions.

Wow! That was a lot of great information! Love how you showed different fabric choices and how adding trim can really make the look your own! I like the first dress! I think my family would flip if they saw me in a dress....since I usually wear shorts or a skirt! Lol!

I'm sitting here in my Celeste dress thinking I should probably make yet another . . . so many great options here! I love the way you've matched it all up with the designer looks. You are my go-to person for what's on trend - xox ❤️😘

Thanks for sharing that, we always can use more house dress ideas. I just made 2 butterick 6758, so comfy. My second one I hacked the bottom and just didn't put the button placket on the front. Just 2 backs on the fold, same design, worked great. Happy Sewing

IHi from England. I wear dresses most of the time, so much easier than separates! My favourite dress patters are Victory patterns Jackie dress and Nina Lee Southbank dress. Both stylish and so comfortable to wear. Thank you for doing these videos.

What a wonderful collection of patterns.

I recommend the Micah dress by Seamwork. A simple pullover that can be customized and styled so many ways.

[cathyswope]

I love vintage dress patterns, like Very Easy Vogue 9242, McCalls 8766 (gotta love a 60s tent dress), or Simplicity 6936. All comfy but stylish!

[LiseMP]

This is a wonderful video!!! I loved all your suggestions, especially the Style Arc and the caftan. I have the wrap and might have to pull it out again.

[thedahliasewciety]
