I am in love with the fact that you share different ways your beautiful patterns can be used. I just recently made a jacket from the Rosa pattern using your shirt hack. Thank you also for showing us that the shirring does not come out. I have to try this. ❤️
Looks amazing, it’s identical to the original!! Thanks for sharing how you did the shirred bodice, I’ve tried the other method by extending the bodice and cutting out bodice first then shirring and was a massive fail! Totally didnt think of this way!
I love the fact that you recreate a dress just by looking at it! The pattern and color are very close of the original! Thank you it is very inspiring I want to do the same!!😊 Have a lovely week!
Janelle, once again you nailed it. I love the tiny flower pattern on the fabric, I think it is my favourite type of flower pattern. I’ve been experimenting with the fabric from a Kmart 100% cotton tablecloth. The first one I got, didn’t wash up very soft, l think they will be good for some trousers (maybe an autumn project). I now have a recycled cotton striped tablecloth, I would like to make a dress out of this. Hope you have a wonderful week, it’s school holds here in NZ so I am hoping work is a little quieter.
I love that uneven shirring! That fabric is beautiful, it was really kind of your viewer to send you some of that! These dress recreations you’re doing at the moment are great. You’ve inspired me to have a crack at shirring.
Wow, it looks exactly like the original! Amazing job! You make it look so easy and give me so much confidence as a beginning sewer. Please keep making these videos, they are wonderful.
A tip for you guys about the Shirring: you can close the side seam on whatever garment you are making (bodice, sleeve), and then sew the elastic tread in a spiral way all lines at once, start at one line on top or bottom, then when you finish the circle, instead of stopping, removing the garment, pulling out, cut the thread, putting back in, starting all over, and repeat, you just make a move from one line to another without cutting the tread, just continuing sewing making a ''sliding''(? lol) to the next line non stopping, and then make a spiral. Get it? This way you don't have to cut the tread everytime or stop sewing everytime and turn the piece :) oh and at the end, when ironing, the ''slide'' will be no noticible, since the fabric shrinks and you will be using a thread that is the same color of the fabric. (i hope it makes sense what i say, i don't write english that well, and writing things it is harder to visualize than showing in a video, but i tried to describe the best i could) edit: oh, i forgot to mention, but of course in a project like the one in this video, where there's more than one shirring, you stop where it's marked, back stitch it, cut the thread, and start the other shirring (spiral). edit number 2: of course in this video it's only the front that has shirren, but this tip is for any project that shirren circulates the bodice, I commented on this video because I remembered this tip and would like to share it with you all , it obviously doesn't work in this case of this dress where the back of the bodice is straight and with darts xD Ok? Ok. lol
Okay, first attempt at making a dress-am I crazy for starting with this one? 😅 I’m almost done with it. I like to learn as I go and I have learned SO many skills with this project. Shirring, making button holes, making my own bias binding, sleeves, pockets, I haven’t done the zipper yet but that will be a new skill too. I think the biggest thing I would say to anyone who wants to try this one is to measure the rectangles of fabric that make up the skirt and see if that matches where you want it to land. I’m almost at the end and realizing that it’s too short on me. Thankfully, I have extra fabric so I can just add another ruffle to the bottom and no one will know the difference. I hope this helps if anyone is reading and considering making it!
Wow! That dress is beautiful!!! You did an excellent job on that dress! It amazes me every time you recreate a garment. Just so you know your dress is just as beautiful if not more! Always enjoy your videos and always learn something! Thank you!
It looks so so so good! Your channel is just perfect, honestly, it's by far my favorite! Thanks so much for sharing so many tips and patterns, I'm in love! ❤
This is so cute!!! I’m so making it, it’s perfect for the incoming summer here in Paraguay. also, thanks for the awesome tips, I finally can use elastic thread without destroying my machine tension.
The dress is adorable. However my personal trust would make most of the dresses about two inches longer. I also love your puffy sleeves and your sheering.
You are amazing🥰, I just bought a new fabric and I am thinking that I’ll be shirring it, but I didn’t now how ! , thank you so much, you make it easy for me 🌹
Love this dress and really enjoyed the video! I have really enjoyed the last few videos you've made sharing how you made the dresses with your free Steve pattern. Thank you!
This is a win win win Janelle! A beautiful creation and a perfect style for the tiny floral print fabric gifted from your kind Swedish friend. So lovely.....however I think your "so much fun trying to figure it out" would probably equate to "so much stress for me"! 🥵💛🥰
I attempted to make this bodice just as you did and I used your Rosa dress pattern bodice pieces. Mine didnt come together at ALL like yours! eliminating the darts on the front piece made it an odd shape that sticks way out along the bottom front of the hem. Also the back piece along the shoulders got pulled to the front so that the shoulder seam is not sitting nicely on the shoulders but instead is sitting on the front about 1" down from the shoulders. What did I do wrong? My shirred bodice piece came out beautifully but now it wont come together nicely with the rest of the dress pieces.
So Gorgeous! I can't wait to try to make it! I love how you do so many videos on how to hack your dress patterns, so when a customer buys a dress from you they are really getting so much more 😍
Beautiful! 🥰 I was amazed that the shirring doesn’t unravel when you cut it out! I wonder why it doesn’t?! 🤔 You’re right, it would be very cute as a blouse too. 👍🏻 Deb x
The sleeves!!! 😍😍😍 I personally like full length dresses, my butt and thighs are pretty thick so I feel like anything above the knee makes me look fatter. You are absolutely talented!! I now know how to do pockets!!
Wow... I loved this dress... I will ask my mom to make like this for me... if she makes this I would love to show it to you... but how can I show ?.... such a great hardwork... loved it... all I can say is great as you left me speechless 🙊
Btw, looking at the original dress I think it’s actually smocked rather than shirred. To which I say, screw that, I’ll stick with the shirring! My whole point is to not have to add a zipper or buttons, so smocking is the LAST thing I want! I think I’ll be shirring the back as well. This is going to make a very cute lolita dress. Now if only I had black eyelet fabric…. Or green. Or lavender. 😅
Love the video. Your version of the dress is way more special than the Rue Stiic one seeing as it's handmade and the fabric has a story! Even though my style is very different from yours, your videos are created in such a way that there skills to learn that you can implement on other styles or garments - like how to hack patterns, how to recreate a dress you like, how to create a ruffle. Thanks once again :) If only you had a collared button down shirt pattern, I'd buy it in a jiffy!
You did a beautiful job! I love the style. Just found your channel and I have so much fabric and patterns to put to use! Very inspiring. I crochet, and am now turning my skills towards making skirts, sweaters, tops, etc. I love your knitted bobble sweater. I really want to knit, but I'm much better at crochet..lol. thank you for sharing!
The website link only offers products to start one's own website shop. I cannot find your 'cottagecore dress' pattern. Thanks if you would advise me how & where to buy the actual paper pattern.
absolutely gorgeous .I am building up my confidence a bit at a time to have a go at this .First i need to learn how to put in a zip correctly .Thank you so much for sharing .
Hi, you use shirring elastic only on the bottom right, that is only in the bobbin right? You use normal thread on the good side of the material, right?
Oh my gosh this is so very cute!!! What a fantastic dress! I would totally wear the bodice as a top as well! It’s so cute!! I bet it would look fantastic as a top with a tie at the bottom that matches the sleeve ties!
Such pretty fabric. I love the shirring spacing on the bodice and that the back isn't shirred. This design would look fantastic as a midi or maxi length dress too. I've always adored shirring it's a shame it's just not right for me these days.
Such talent, about your patterns, what sizes are available in them and, I'm plus size and do they with instructions on shirring I don't think I'd look good wearing the shirring. but I do have other family members, did you have patterns for boys and teens young adults.
I love the fact that you show the versatility of your patterns! It totally adds priority to buying, but also it really helps new sewers like me see how easy it is to alter and use patterns in different ways. As a new sewer it hard to know how far I can take a pattern if that makes sense?
How many meters of fabric is needed for this project janelle... 💝love the project.... Iam gonna try and make a beautiful dress like this one to my wardrobe.....💜
This is TOO CUTE, oh my goodness! I have never sewn my own dress, but I have does some odds and ends sewing projects. I just found your channel and I think I will follow your free dress template from another video of yours to make my first full dress and I hope to work up to this one because it is ADORABLE. Thank you so much for your tutorials!!
Love you video Janelle! One thing i dont understand is how you adjust the front and back bodice lengths but they seem to still match up at the side seems!
Thank you! You adjust the back and front bodice prices by different lengths as I skipped the bodice front bust darts (due to the fabric being stretchy and not needing them). If you adjust them using the measurements I shared in the video they should match up at the side seams 😊
I am in love with the fact that you share different ways your beautiful patterns can be used. I just recently made a jacket from the Rosa pattern using your shirt hack. Thank you also for showing us that the shirring does not come out. I have to try this. ❤️
Thanks lovely, I’m glad you like the pattern hacks! A jacket sounds amazing 😍
@@RoseryApparel how to attach square neckline to this
Wait! That dress is priced at $249.00 😱 . Oh the joys of making your own clothes
At last I found a real shirred bodice that isn't just a rectangle piece and shoulder straps. Thank you for sharing.
Looks amazing, it’s identical to the original!! Thanks for sharing how you did the shirred bodice, I’ve tried the other method by extending the bodice and cutting out bodice first then shirring and was a massive fail! Totally didnt think of this way!
Me too! I tried the spreading method, but this looks so much easier and logical!
I’m surprised at how well it worked actually! Definitely give this way a try next time 😊 x
Well just try again.

Hey dear...plz help me..i cut 4.5 inch more than front bodice and do shirring but it turned out so small..what to do?
I LOVE your choice in fabrics!! Beautiful fabrics and equally beautiful dresses.
Great dupe!
It's very beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial 🥰

Beautiful! 🥰 I was amazed that the shirring doesn’t unravel when you cut it out! I wonder why it doesn’t?! 🤔 You’re right, it would be very cute as a blouse too. 👍🏻 Deb x
It doesn't unravel because it's lopped and held in place by the upper thread. I'm amazed, never seen it done before until today.
Turned out really really pretty.. I love it!
Thanks so much lovely 🧡

Beautiful dress! Do you think it would work to shirr the back of the bodice too and skip the darts/zipper? Thanks!
You could do, but you will need to make the neck opening larger to fit your head through without a zip 😊
This is gorgeous.. your makes are so inspiring, ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🧡 This one was so much fun to put together!
Thankyou! I have made the shirred dress from your directions of the four pieces of fabric! I love it! It’s been years since I shirred a dress
absolutely gorgeous .I am building up my confidence a bit at a time to have a go at this .First i need to learn how to put in a zip correctly .Thank you so much for sharing .
I plan to try this with my dear Rosa dress pattern but will add understitching along the facings. It make a world of difference 💜
Wow supooo beautiful
Janelle,
Thankyou soo much for sharing your work with us. Lots of respect.
Can you provide the measurement paper cutting that you used for cutting the fabric in this video?
yeeeees i was looking for this dress 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ive just commented in the other video to ask you about it
Love this dress. So cute, I definitely thought all the stitches would unravel when you cut into the fabric!
When I cut into the shirred fabric it just unravels 😕 Any tips??
Maybe give the shirring a steam and press with your iron first?
My next project. TQ for sharing the tutorial ❤
The shirring turned out beautiful Janelle. Love your dress. Thank you for sharing. Remain blessed xxx
Hi, you use shirring elastic only on the bottom right, that is only in the bobbin right? You use normal thread on the good side of the material, right?
Yes that's right
It’s just lovely.
It turned out so amazing!! So smart to shirr it before cutting! I might need to try that. Beautiful job!!
Oh my gosh you have rekindled my love for making clothes, you make it look so achievable, and your videos are so easy to follow! Thank you

So lovely :)
Do you stretch the fabric straight at every shirring line?
Yes I do! If you sew over the previous gathered up creases it’s really noticeable and won’t look as nice 😊
it looks good
I love seeing how versatile your pattern is and how to manage to hack it multiple ways to make so many different makes. Thank you!
