Definitely my favorite dress BY FAR. Just need to find a cute sunflower field to prance around in now.
My version is a little different from the original but you can make the original with these steps too! I made this for 5% of the price (yes, I did the math) so you are definitely saving some coin doing it yourself!
p.s. I’m sorry if the quality is a little off I swear it was fine but then got worse once the video uploaded. Your girl is TRYING we can't all be ashley from bestdressed
EDIT: I just watched this video for the first time since uploading it...and WOW it is not great (especially the audio at the beginning, I am so sorry for your ears) THANK YOU FOR STILL WATCHING! I promise I’ll work on making these videos better and more thorough :)

You dress turned out sweet. Just a pro tip for next time? Pause @2:48 you _needed_ to add in some darts... in there... the bust/ arm section, the piece there that's in your right hand. Both sides & the lining part too. This helps your bust to curve to our body & not stick up there in front. _Try_ to think of making clothing as we're creating _soft 3D sculptures,_ that we wear. Plus, we need our "3D sculptures" to stay in place & look great in all the right places, while we move around & dance. Never stop dancing & creating!💕

To get a non-invisible zipper right the first time baste the opening closed, press the seam open, and pin the zipper on both sides of the zipper tape where you want it to be when the dress is finished. Then top stitch around the zipper with the zipper to the feed-dogs. Then pull the basting thread out to open the zipper.

That turned out so cute!! I’m trying to make my own puffy sleeve dress out of a sleeveless bodice and kept messing up the sleeves! This actually really helps, thank you!

I got invited to a wedding this December and we were requested to wear a Navy Blue formal dress for that and YES, I wanted to wear a Puff dress but it will be very expensive to buy so Im thinking of sewing it out instead. Thank you for this idea! I really love how you sew it! 💗💗🖤

@AnikaSews 3 года назад

HOW EXCITING!!! I wish you good luck with your project and I hope you enjoy wearing it at the beautiful wedding 💙💙💙

@georgesmiles7649 Год назад

You are hilarious! Loved watching this, I really appreciate that you included your mistakes and how you fixed them ❤️ I am obsessed with the sleeves so I'm really glad you showed the process you used to expand them.

@theturniptress805 4 года назад

Oh this is so beautiful. What a coincidence I had the screen shot of the exact same dress and was about to make it. I had figured out the bodice, but not how the sleeves would be attached to it.Your dress turned out so beautiful! You just gained a new subscriber from India.

@AnikaSews 4 года назад

It’s just like fate! I’m so glad that this video helped you figure out the sleeves, if you need more help I’ll gladly explain it more in-depth ❤️ Thank you so much for subscribing 🥰
