I always love these kinds of videos, though they do make me feel like I need to make all the dresses!! I really appreciate hearing the reality of what these are like to wear, which is pretty different from when we first make them up. I may need to give some of these another look!

I’m on my way to joining you on sewing some designs over and over. And over, again. I was never that type of sewer before. I was always sort of seduced by new designs every time I saw them. But, I have to make more fit adjustments than ever, and it puts me off sewing up a new garment, and what good is that? I miss the days when I could just pick out a pattern, and with very minimal adjustments it would just fit. So, my current goal is to build a core set of patterns that I can turn to, whenever the desire or need to sew arises, and I know they will fit perfectly. ❤️

I found this blog very interesting and love the easy natural way you present. I have 2 of these patterns the fringe and myosotis so will bear in mind the full skirt you mentioned. I think I should try these before I purchase another. Beautiful fabric choices Andrea. Thank you 😊

Great video. I have 3 of these patterns only one used so far but I’m now inspired. Thank you

Lovely patterns! I can see how it will be fun and quick to sew together plus pattern is simple enough to use fun fabrics!
Great choices💕

Lovely dresses. I have the FPC Davenport it's on my make nine list too. Hoping to make up soonish.
Thank you Andrea a great demonstration of how the same dress pattern can be so different with just the change of fabric.

Have just found your channel Andrea and really love this helpful video! Am sold on the Valerie dress - 2 questions: like you, I always have to do a narrow shoulder adjustment and I would have thought that the raglan sleeve style would still require that but you find not? Does the sleeve head not droop off your shoulder point?. Also, I just don’t wear above the knee dresses - but the skirt shape suggests to me that extending the length to below knee would look great too. What do you think? Many thanks, Moira

If you didn't have so many dresses already, I would feel bad that you need to give one away but... ☺️. I will say that my Mom didn't like wearing black (as she got older) and used a white Dickie to offset the color next to her face which worked great. Or a cardigan or jacket/blazer worked as well. You might try that with the mustard colored dress... It's beautiful on you by the way but I know what you mean. I love yellow but it doesn't like me. 😉 So glad your shoulder is almost better!😍. Please take care wielding those bolts of fabrics. Although I bet you've got a good muscle now 💪☺️. As always I really enjoyed the video; your mashup is my favorite too! See you next time! 🌄💐💖🌹

Lots of beautiful dresses Andrea. Thanks for sharing these. I've just recently got the Fringe dress pattern, so this video has inspired me to go on and make it 😻

Thanks for this lovely vlog! I am in the process of trying to make a dress from the fantastic "Autumn leaf" linen viscose fabric that I bought from your lovely shop. It's a mash up of the SOI Kitty dress skirt and SOI Lulu dress bodice. I do the same thing regarding using a pattern many times, every new version being a different take on a pattern. I love how the A0 pattern print outs from your shop comes on luxorious, thick paper, impossible to cut into, will have to start tracing...😄🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛❤️

[marathorne]

They all look so gorgeous on you, Andrea! I haven't tried any of these patterns, but watching this video has sparked an idea for a mashup I can make of patterns I already own, so thanks for the inspiration! 😊 Mustard/ochre is a difficult colour to wear if you have fair skin and blonde hair - rich jewel colours work best, like that amazing royal blue 😍 Have a smashing day!

[aoifehoulihan]

Really enjoyed this video Andrea. I’ve made nearly all of these, mostly influenced by you 😊 so thanks for the inspiration. I’m working on my 3rd Davenport and have 2 more fringe dresses cut out but now you’ve reminded me about the spring dress and Valerie I really want to make those again too!! So many plans and so little time!!

[shakeelashah]

Thank you Andrea, I watched this blog and saw the Spring dress pattern that you recommend and I bought it. It’s beautiful I have made one each for my daughters and two for myself it’s a lovely pattern to sew, THANK YOU ❤

Would love to see how you put the ties in. You give me so many ideas.

Lovely dresses Andrea! When I have a color that does not agree with me, I try adding some coloful jewelry or scarf and usually that fixes the overall colouring and makes the outfit much better. I think if you wear the beige dress with a some hot pink or turquoise earrings, or necklace, your opinion might change and you will be able to wear it happily. Just a suggestion!
