Thank you 😄

Thank you! Best of luck making the top, and feel free to ask questions if you need help during the process 😊

But that is actually not a bad idea ☺️ I’ve seen it done in dresses similar to this

It is possible if you use stretchy fabric instead or put in a zipper maybe in the side seam. After drawing the line from the armhole to the bottom of the dress find the place on the line where the waist would go, probably 3-5 inches from the armhole and then take it in depending on how tight you want it. And draw a new line that curves like a body around the waist.

@@Itsrikkethank u so much for answering !! Will be trying that for my dress :3

Lovely 🥰 thanks for the kind words

Yes, I don’t see a problem with that 😊

Thanks! I don’t think so, since there isn’t much shape to it, so it basically just squeezes them in, but I suppose that is also kind of supportive 😁

For me I tend to overmeasure my shoulder width, so it will probably be fine to just make the shoulder width smaller. Otherwise extend the bust line and shorten the shoulder width by the same amount to compensate in both places 😊

​@@ItsrikkeI have pretty broad shoulders and small bust, so that's probably why :/ But I will try that, thank you so much!

I am using a free Pattern from mood 😊 I have a full video on how I made the dress on my channel, where you can find the link to the pattern.

Thanks ☺️ i got it from rijstextiles.com

I am not sure. It is adult sizes but perhaps the smallest size will do 🤔

On my channel I have two videos on how I made this including the pattern I used ☺️

Lovely! Let me know if you have any questions during the process ☺️

I have a full tutorial on my channel that provides more information about how the whole thing is created, that might be helpful for you ☺️

Thank you 😁 best of luck with the project, and let me know if you have any questions!

I completely understand 😌 if you’re interested I can try to give you a detailed description of how to make the pattern yourself. It shouldn’t be too hard 😊

That’s correct 😁 unless you change the front or back neckline, it is just to put it on.

@@Itsrikke Thank you!!

Around 183 cm (6 feet) 😊

Great to hear it 😊 and sure, there are two things you can do in terms of adding lining. I found this tutorial on how to add lining to a sleeveless shirt, which is the exact same way you would add lining to this dress. Just make the lining an inch or two shorter than the actual fabric, and hem the lining before attaching it. m.ua-cam.com/video/6CS4ckhqT0E/v-deo.html&vl=en However, if that’s too complicated, you could just cut out lining pieces the same size as the main dress pattern, skip the facing pattern piece, and use the lining instead following the same steps. Only difference would be to baste around the armhole to make the lining and main fabric into “one” fabric. Then the rest of the dress can be completed the same way as in the video. Just make sure when sewing the layers together that they lay flat and are the exact same size. Those would be my suggestions 😊 let me know if you have further questions!

@@Itsrikke Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it :)

@@Itsrikke Hi again! I decided it would be best for me to keep things simple since this is my first garment project, so I went back to the store to get a different fabric for this dress. I've gotten to the step where you fold in and sew the arm holes, but I'm not sure how to get the fabric to fold in nicely without clipping the seam allowance. Did you clip yours?

I understand ☺️ I did not clip mine, but I don’t see a problem in doing so. Also, I don’t know what your seam allowance is, but if it’s on the wider side, this could be why it is difficult. You could try turning in a smaller amount of fabric.

@@Itsrikke That makes sense! I will try it again with a smaller seam allowance, and if it's still too unruly for me, I'll try clipping. Thanks again for all of your help! 😊

Thanks 😊 I used woven jacquard fabric (no stretch), but I think actually most fabric types can be used, both stretch and non-stretch.

Unfortunately not 😕 I know there are kid shirt patterns available for purchase, but perhaps the smallest size of the pattern I am using would be okay with some adjustments?

I usually do 1 cm 😊

I think I say armscye depth 😊

@@Itsrikke how do i measure it?

how do i measure it?

Either measure around the shoulder and divide by two, or take a top that you like the fit of and measure around its armhole and divide by 2. There should be an illustration right before the pattern making begins in the video where you can see how to take the measurement. Hope that helps 😊

You could try something like this, and just make the collar more pointy: www.justcraftyenough.com/2014/03/project-add-a-peter-pan-collar-to-a-t-shirt/ But without seeing the dress it’s hard to give a detailed answer. But nothing is impossible, right ☺️

What about the net

@@XxPeachyCatsxX If you print out the pattern, and determine how much of the pattern is already in the dress you have, you can cut out the missing pieces and sew them on to the dress :-)

Sorry I don’t have time for that 😕 I would just suggest searching UA-cam for how to attach ruffles to sleeves or how to make ruffles, as well as follow the method used for part 1 of this video series. I would make the ruffle at a length that fits the sleeve, hem all the sides, and then just topstitch it to the dress like in the video. I can help you in more detail if you write me on instagram @its.Rikke, if you show me the dress and potentially the progress if any questions should arise.

Also what do you mean with the 12 inch bottom width? Is that the very bottom edge? And if so by width do you mean that the circumference would come to be 24 inches?

They won’t necessarily change, but instead of making a straight line between shoulder and neck, it should be more rounded. You might want to raise the point on the middle to make it less deep. But make a mock up and see if you like it 😊 12 inches is a 4th of the circumference, so the circumference will be 48” in total. Hope that helps 😁

My local fabric store mostly, but sometimes from European online fabric stores as well as AliExpress (mostly for special kinds of fabric that I cannot find online or in my country) 😊

@@Itsrikke thanks for answering hon! Loved your cute dress. I’m a beginner and your video was helpful.

Thank you 🥰

Yes, just a regular tank top ☺️

You’re welcome ☺️ and thank you for saying this, I include patterns in many of my videos because I myself am interested in the entire process not just the sewing!

No more than 1 yard for the bodice (probably less will be fine) and 1 yard for the sleeves. 1 yard is more than enough but of course depending on the width of the fabric 😊

Sorry, I feel like there are too many mistakes on it to sell it 😅

@@Itsrikke for me it is perfect , also here in India, it is hel difficult to find it... they are only available for kids ! I wanted to wear it on Character day in my college's fest ....

how much money does it takes to buy fabric

@AbdulRaheem-tj5dw I can’t quite remember, but probably around $40. But it will vary depending on your country. Fabric is expensive where I am from ☺️

@@Itsrikke can i find that exact fabric online.?i cant find black fabric here ..😪
