It’s super cute! I really love how you used different colors of vintage buttons, such a great way to use them and the denim background of the dress lets them shine. The dress itself reminds me of those Victorian/Edwardian cycling culottes that had a bit of a moment in historical costuming channels awhile back. Some of the styles had a flap of fabric that, depending on how you buttoned it, you could look like you were wearing a skirt (at least from the front) once you got to whatever you were going. I could see this being the same, you button it up to make it easier to ride a bike and let the shorts do the work of preserving modesty, then let it back down when you get to your destination.
This dress is super cute! I love all the different buttons. When all buttoned up, it almost looks like you have two rows of pockets all the way around.
I love a denim dress and the colorful buttons you added make it so special. Such a cute dress - thanks for sharing! Also, Spooky sitting on your sewing machine while you're sewing - heehee - I love cats being the wonderful weirdos they are
I thought the dress was really flattering on you even with it being lose. It would be interesting to see what that pattern would look like in a softer fabric without the buttons so it's just a normal dress. I did think the dress would be good for house work or gardening. You have lot's of pockets to fill with stuff

That’s a cool pattern, I have never seen a design like that before. Your rainbow 🌈 jean dress came out sweet 💕 & I always love watching how you craft in your own aesthetic.
I love the dress, and the button design added such dimension and detail. I think you made the right choice for this light weight denim. You do beautiful work, Haley!!
This turned out so cute! I love the colorful buttons you chose. They looks great when the dress is buttoned and unbuttoned. And the ones around the neck? Chef's kiss. Sewing tip: when doing an overcast or overlock stitch on your sewing machine, try loosening the upper tension a little. Test before doing it on the project to get the tension just right.
I think this is one of my favorite things you have ever made. Do I say that all of the time? I can't help you, you are so talented. :-) I I love how this can go longer or shorter and the buttons were so great...but you had me at embroidery floss. :-)
I love the dress you wore in the breakdown. I wish you would do like a this is this dress. Also instead of buttons i feel like the modern day thing would be snaps or zippers and removing the whole layer.
I love the buttons on the dress!! It turned out super cute!! Makes me wish I could sew using my vintage patterns, but my brain doesnt want to work to figure out the fit issues I have with the one I did start previously. I loves 40s and 50s and 60s inspired clothing but with loud prints.
Not sure we needed to know you needed a nap 😂 anyway @ 4:57 talking about lack of instructions and i thought of the Simplicity sewing books they published. Have any? I ❤ my Vogue sewing book and its a resource that needs to be used with their patterns for greater success! ...ok back to the video, and why am i not subscribed 😮....🛎😊 Making samples is good too. Heavier fabric gathering over a cord is an option. Cute dress! 💙
Hi Haley, I don't know if you have already made a video on this, but I'd love to see an "All About My Sewing Machine" video. I noticed you have a Singer. What model is it? I just ordered a Singer 9960 for myself.
I have a singer 9985, I don't talk much about my machine because a ton of machines that are out there work great when you sew garments all you really need is a good straight stitch and button options.
