Nice! KUDOS for the lining!!! Despite what others think, a lined dress looks far more elegant on the wearer. It also gives this dress a bit of structure as well, which looks nicer. I may do a version of this with some short sleeves 😄.
@@ThrillsandStitches I've added sleeves to sleeveless for years. I have a standard short, 3/4 and full sleeve pattern that I often use. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and used to always raid my parent's closet for things from the 50s & 60s. The dresses and skirts had side zippers and were lined. Same for men's trousers.
This colour, cut and your enthusiasm are just so fabulous! I would love to see a version of this with lace - there is a dress from Cami NYC that has lace under the bust.
Thank you! I actually made a lace trimmed version (around the neckline) of this pattern here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otwsSSFpg0w.html
Beautiful dress and the construction was delightful to watch! It looks very luxurious with the fabric colour and drape too! Not sure if this particular pattern is for me (I’m self conscious about my figure) but I loved watching! I am excited to see the others too 😊
I have a holiday party coming up so I’m gonna make this dress in a burgundy jacquard fabric I picked up on a major clearance this year. Ohhh I can’t wait! Thanks for the gorgeous pattern.
Am I insane for wanting to make this dress but the only thing I have sewn were napkins and pijama shorts? I have a wedding in four weeks and I really want to make this, I have a lot of free time as I am on vacation right now. My plan is to make a prototipe first with another fabric before risking it all on the satin.
You can 100% do this! Especially as you've already made shorts, this dress is easier I'm telling you :) It's a good idea to make a prototype first, this way you'll get any insecurities out of your system. You got this!
Lovely dress and the material suits it. It seems quite straightforward to make. I would prefer it with some sort of sleeves, even short ones would do. I suppose I could use sleeves from another pattern, do you think?
Thank you, and absolutely! It should be very easy to add sleeves, you might just want to add a strap to the shoulders to tie up behind your neck so the sleeves don’t fall down with the weight :)
Thank you! I used a micro mesh material, it’s a stretchy polyester that’s anti static and barely noticeable when you wear the dress, which is why I like it 🤗
I purchased your pattern and I'm in the midst of making a Sally dress myself. I need some help. I watched the video multiple times but I don't understand how you got the notches for the skirt to line up the front and back bodices. I've been sewing and unpicking for several hours now because I can't get the v-neck to align. Do you have advice on how to resolve this?
Hi there! Sorry to hear this proofs difficult for you. The most important thing is to align the sides and center front of the bodice and skirt in the underbust seam. When you pin the seam you will find that the ease in the bust pieces starts to appear. You want to gather the ease under your bust apex for a nice look. Make sure that the seam allowance in the center front for both bust pieces stays loose when you attach them to the to the skirt. This is so you can attach the lining later and have a crisp tip in the V-neckline. I hope this helps.
@@ThrillsandStitches no worries! I have lipedema and on Thursday, I have gotten the info if everything goes well, I’ll have my first surgery in a few months and if I safe enough money, I can do the next 3 surgeries within the next 2 years and then I fit your patterns too! 🥳 It’s difficult, but I try my best! 💪😁
