    Gift wrap hint: Cereal boxes can be turned inside out and used as "sweater" boxes, I like the craft brown look, because it can be so readily customized but you can wrap it with traditional wrapping paper as well. I also love using baskets, I have gotten lucky previous years finding rolls of gift wrap at the thrift store as well! Can't wait to check out some of your other videos, we have a lot of the same interests it seems 😊 P.s. I have a tutorial for reversing a cereal box from last Christmas.

    Did you adjust the neckline to sit higher than the original pattern? I love everything about the dress but Rosie’s dress has a very low neckline. That’s not for me but I love how this turned out!

    • @madeonmill
      @madeonmill 4 місяці тому

      @@chelseathart782 I moved the bias casings that hold the elastic bands down by about 1" to 1.5". My bust tends to sit lower on most patterns so this helped and I found that moving the casings closer to the waist/skirt seam helped camouflage the seam line since my fabric is a bit heavier weight (still a cotton but a bit heavier since I used a duvet cover). I also have quite narrow shoulders so I think I was able to gather the neckline up quite a bit. I hope this helps!

    • @madeonmill
      @madeonmill 4 місяці тому

      @@chelseathart782 I believe Rosie has a video going over some hacks for this pattern and for one she reversed the dress so the back of the dress sat on the front giving a higher neckline. So that's an option too. Perhaps you could experiment with cutting out two back panels and seeing if that would work for the bodice?? Not sure how that would work with attaching the sleeves, I'd have to look at the pattern again but seeing that there is so much gathering, I'm sure it would work.
