Summer Dresses You Must Make in Woven 

My favourite is the fringe. I want that pattern.

At last, someone not afraid to reveal their body measurements a big thumbs up. We are not all a copy of Lisa Comfort as lovely as she is. Can I ask, the Charlie Kaufman, which I love the look of, but have been put of by how gaping the sleeves look. Did you find that to be the case. Yours looks great and has given me the impetus to sew all these lovely, more comfortable styles for a 67 year old lady. Thanks for your hard work. Keep it up

I love the v neck dresses, there very feminine. I really like the Lois Dress. Thank your for letting us know the fabrics you use, that’s very helpful.

Great dresses! Great video! 🌟🌺

Bravo on your patterned fabric choices not a dowdy one in the bunch!!

I love watching your vlogs Kristen .... it’s like your just next door but in reality on the other side of the world 🌍.... love the dresses 😘

You've just shown me all my favourite kind of dresses! Love you. First time seeing you so I'll be back for more. Thank you. Love you!

Hi Kristen I love all the dresses you made gorgeous 😘😘😘

Beautiful dresses.....You look beautiful in all your makes😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Nice parade ! !!!!!. I can't wait to do the same with all that I have sewn during the absence on Hubby. But. ......still waiting for planes. ........ Thank you Kristen 👋 💟

All of these are super flattering!

Hello! You are so very skilled and smart about your fabrics and shapes that work well for you in your pattern selections! I find each of your videos so refreshing. Sincerest thanks for all the videos you share with us. You are sincerely my favorite YT'er. :)

;wow! You look so good on the beige flowered dress.

The Lois dress. 🥰. ❤️ from Belgium.

Always love your videos and I agree with Marie’s comment, that I’m so thankful that you share your sizing. I’m a very similar size and really really love seeing all of your makes - both because they’re beautiful and because I can so clearly picture what they might look on me, too. Really love seeing your Alice dress. I just made a toile in the shirt version and the gathers made it a bit too full looking on me but I love the lines and see that a dress version might be just what I need, as the extra weight of the longer fabric might pull those down in a bit more flattering way. Gorgeous lighter fabric like you used, too, will help, I’m sure. All that to say thank you, thank you for all the details you provide!

This was so fun! More makers should be doing this- so cool to see it in movement!

The blues , the blues- accent those gorgeous eyes!

Thanks so much, needed this video. Have to telł you you always wear your lipstick so well. Great to see 😀😀

Some great choices. Very inspirational

Gorgeous dresses Kirsten thanks for sharing

Yes, love v neck caftan!!! Dark rayon print is beautiful 😍

Your dresses are amazing and the fabrics suit you so well.😙

Just love them all

Hi Kirsten, you really have encouraged me to try some dresses now 👍. All yours are fantastic and I think my favourite styles are the Charley Caftan and the Fringe Dress, but they were all gorgeous 💟💟💟😁👌😘

Just found your channel. Love all these dresses on you. They are beautiful. Looking forward to more videos from you.

Yup, all gorgeous ! I’m in love with the Fringe😍

Lovely makes - now if we could only have some Melbourne summer weather in the UK. I used to work with a few Aussies from Melbourne (on a mining project) and they could never understand why we couldn’t plan a bbq weeks ahead until they had experienced a few UK summers......layering is a necessity. I love your Charlie caftan and fringe dress. Also I’ve eyed up the Alice dress/top a few times now. I love my boiled wool Berlin jacket. I’ve just made the myosotis dress but drafted my own sleeves as too many ruffles. Love your vlogs.

Great video and lovely to see a beautiful curvy girl x

I have some of these dresses but haven’t made them yet they all look great on your and now I want them all.😜 looked this topic and look forward to the next season.

Wow! What an incredible lineup of beautiful dresses. Every single time, with.the reveal of each new dress, I would say to myself, "Oh, I love the fabric on that dress! It suits her perfectly, that's my favourite dress." Your patterns are great, but the fabrics you have chosen just take what is already a lovely dress to the next level. Your coloring and those of your fabrics are perfectly suited. Wonderfully done makes!

Love the dresses looking forward to knits ♥️

Lovely - the Tessuti dresses really flatter you. Gorgeous.

I love the Lois dress. But I really love the fabric you've chosen. I wish I could get it for myself. I have the pattern but am afraid to actually start it. Thank you so much for your dress selections. You have such fantastic taste.

That's the key, whether you keep wearing a lovely dress. Great review xxx

I will be making some of them. Thanks.

Fab makes ! The v necks look great on you, I hadn't seen your Alice dress before that ones super!

I love everything you make.It's fab to be able to see how the dresses move.Fantastic fabric choice.

All your makes are beautiful and your fabric selection is pretty special.

I’m over winter already. Maybe I should start my summer wardrobe already.. Love how all of these look. I’ve made the style arc Montana midi twice and get compliments every time I’ve worn them. So comfy and cool especially in rayon. I made them after you mentioned them in another video. Thanks for the inspiration!

Do I see a bit of a haircut? Lucky you! I’m into about week 20 since my last visit to the hairdressers! We aren’t allowed to go till 4th July so I have my appt booked for 5th! Loved the vlog - you’ve given me some great ideas...Diana

They look awesome on you

I loved watching this , so many beautiful relaxing style dressers. 💗

I loved all of your dresses especially the first one, the mustard coloured one. Way back in the seventies I made a maximum dress when they first became popular, I believe I was the first one in my grade 8 class to wear one. I loved maxis then and I love them now.

The mustard color is a great color for you.. It really made your blue eyes pop. All of these dresses are beautiful. I love the flow of each of them. I hadn't thought of wearing a top under them for Winter. Great idea! Thank you for listing all of the links. I will be following up on them soon.

New sub here! I love, love all your fabric choices, your dresses and your style! 🤗🤗👌

Love the dresses. I have made the Montana twice now. The first one in a woven which looked like a tent. The second was a knit which I did 2 sizes smaller which I was happier with xx

These easy and fun patterns are great for anyone who likes a quicker project. Thanks for sharing

Love all your choices. So happy to see measurements, it really helps to decide what would suit me. Thank you🇨🇦😍

I love, love, love your fabrics. Being a redhead myself, I find them so flattering .

Love all of your dresses, the styles and fabric choice is so great on you. The Mustard linen looks so good with your skin tone and eye colour. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

Beautiful dresses. I’m excited for the knit dresses also. Thank you.

All so pretty and look just lovely on you. Thank you for the inspiration. Suzette

I love the concept of looking back over a season to show what you really liked and got good use out of. Your dresses were all beautiful and gorgeous on you. You really know your style. Love your hair too!

Love the mustard color on you, I’ve got that pattern book , along 15+ patterns I’ve got yet too sew! Love all the fabrics you’ve chose for your patterns

Love this platform!!!

Love all of your summer dresses! I always feel inspired after seeing your makes. Thank you for sharing!!

I love them all, but especially the dark bold coloured dresses!

I loved this video. I'm already over winter and started on summer dresses again. This was perfect timing for me. Thank you.

Love this episode! So helpful. Thank you ☺️

Beautiful dresses you look stunning in them all.

Goodness, can’t pick a favourite, all lovely you look gorgeous in all of them! That third dress, the Montana I think, I made a blouse in that pattern but I’m losing weight on Keto and it ended up way too big so I’m trying to ‘ fix’ it as I love the fabric. I want to wear more dresses this summer, can’t wait! Maybe I’ll start on summer dresses now spring will be here before we know it.

Thank you for responding with your measurements. I just received the Style Arc “Montana”. I’m going to make it in size 14 lightweight linen. This will be my first time using a Style Arc pattern.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection of summer woven dresses! Your makes are very inspiring.😊

Great round up Kristen. I agree that the test of a good patterns is how it wears over time. My fave of these is the Lois. I have a couple. And now you have pointed me toward the magnolia which looks like it ticks all the right boxes for me too. Thanks! However I am looking at this video in the depths of Melbourne winter. If I was actually in summer, I think I would definitely want to wear the Fringe. Thanks again!

What a fantastic video. Really informative. I love your fabric choices but you looked most beautiful in that red one! Subscribed immediately and will binge watch now!

Loved this! Your choice of fabrics is always spot on! Beautiful work on these dresses!

Love many of these patterns! They look comfortable k e and give you some form, cute sleeves. Great job!

Thanks for sharing all your gorgeous dresses Kristen 😊 I’ve definitely added a few more to my wish list now 😍xx

They all looks amazing and so comfy.

Ah, I originally found your channel because of your Wiksten sewalong!! Loved it & love you Kristen!

Lovely dresses. Great video, thank you. I'm definitely going to buy a couple of these patterns and have a go. Love them all.

I’ve just really got into sewing during lockdown and came across your channel. Love watching your videos. I made the Montana dress as my first garment attempt and I’m really pleased with it. As a beginner I found the instructions a bit sparse but you tube is a godsend. Burrito method!!! So easy. The tessuti Alice dress is definitely one I want to make as well as the top version. I’m also going to make the peppermint top you made. 🇬🇧❤️❤️

I'm new to the sewing ladies and I just found you tonight! I like all the dresses you have made and I plan to follow you, if the stars are aligned for computer passwords, etc. You do beautiful work.... Sandy

Thank you for the reviews as they are so helpful. All the dresses are beautiful.

Beautiful dresses, I loved them all , I have never seen the Tessuti Alice made up before ,it’s certainly a stunner what fabric did you use for it ? The colours are glorious! Karen R

Lovely fashion show! Love all the dresses and they look so nice on you. I think I might need to go see a new dress 😂 can't wait to see the knit dresses. Thank you for sharing! ❤

Beautiful

Do you think in the future that you could please tell us the pattern size range as you mention them ? That would be so helpful 🙂

I love all your dresses on you . You’ve chosen such gorgeous fabrics for them all. I bought the fringe dress pattern yesterday and am printing it out to get started on today ❤️

I like that dressing colors the. Golden flowers the. Fabrics

All the dresses are lovely!💕

Lovely to have an Australian dressmaker......love that you advise where to get nice fabrics in Australia.

Love everyone of your dresses and there are definitely a few in there that need to be in my pattern stash haha!

The Fringe is one of my favorites too! I have made a top, a short dress, and a maxi-length dress. I have made a Wiksten shift top, but haven’t made the dress version yet. I would like to try it and the Cielo dress from linen for this summer. I loved this video and look forward to the rest in this series.

Great vlog Kirsten. The dresses are gorgeous! I have two of these lined up ready to make - the Fringe Dress and The Nova. I also plan to do the Charlie Kaftan in the next few weeks. So this has been very inspirational 😍❤️

Beautiful!

Great dresses and I think I need to revisit some of them 😊 You look stunning in all of them x

Great video, thanks!

Bonjour J'adore la robe alice. Et j'adore également le tissus que vous avez utilisé. Elle est magnifique et très féminine. J'aimerais acheter ce tissus, mais où ? Connaissez vous le nom de ce tissu pour que je fasse des recherches ? Je vous remercie par avance Merci pour vos videos, les robes et les tissus que vous presentez sont magnifiques ! Je n'ai pas trouvé l'information, (ou alors pas compris ! 🤣) Hello, I love the alice dress and this fabric too !!! I would like to buy this fabric, but where ? May be it has a "name" and it woul be possible to seek and buy it in France ? Thank you very much for showing us all these dresses and these gorgeous fabrics

Love, love the fabric choices..! Really nice. I do need to sew up some fabrics that would lend themselves to dresses. Good ideas. Don't know what your lighting is, but it appears to bother your eyes and is very bright on your eyes. Only when you look away from the camera can we see your beautiful blue color. Maybe switch out that light to something a little less harsh on the eyes. Just sayin'.

Very nice.

Hi, this was very helpful as we’re nearly in summer 😀😀😀😀😀. Would you say the Style Arc dress is suitable for a confident beginner?? Thanks 🌷🌷

Looked up the Charlie Caftan. Perfect for what I am looking for bit for a PDF I find it really high priced.

Perfect no zippers perfect

Beautiful. Is the fabric from the style arc dress, the white with small floral, still available? Would you happen to know?

Thank you

Where did you buy your fabric?

I'm a bit of a novice and I'm a bit afraid of working with the rayon... It doesn't seem to wash and dry well.. even line dried.. what are your thoughts?..

😃

Hello. Where can I find the pattern for the kimono-style jacket? Thanks
