I made this dress twice. Both times I cut the bodice on the fold and omitted the zipper. I am too old to try to zip something up the back. I love this pattern.
Hi Lisa, I love this dress on you. I love the boxyness of it. I was surprised when you said your height, I had the impression you were taller. I like the looseness of it It’s cooler for the weather we’re having at the moment. Have a great day. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
I’m getting ready to make this dress, thanks for the heads up about the length, I’m 5’2” as well and I want a skirt that ends on my knees to make it easy for me to ride my bike.
Hope you enjoy it! I found it enjoyable and didn't question anything in the instructions, it all pretty much made sense to me. The instructions don't give good details on zip install, but Marcy Harriell has an excellent one on her channel. I don't need the zip at this size so I won't do it next time and that will save a bit of time!
This was very helpful. And you look so cute in it! Great fabric choice with the chambray. I have the pattern - haven't made it yet but I've been considering doing it in a stable knit. I have a trip and I'm wondering . . . can I get it done in time? Hopefully!
You can do it! Thanks Jen! Yes, it took me time, but I was working a lot. I think this is pretty simple and should have taken me 2 days if I didn't have to work lol
Oh man, I'm working on this now, and I'm just not getting a good fit. Seems to fit great from bust up, but the waist is so tight. Not real sure I like the pattern yet. Working on the muslin right now
The Galaxy tshirt? That fabric was from Joann’s and I didn’t buy it yesterday but I saw it there. I think it was on sale at my Joann’s yesterday, and it was on sale when I bought it a few weeks back. It was in the knit fabrics section…I can’t remember if it was a pop! Fabric.
It is a pop! Fabric and I just checked on Joann’s website. If it’s not on sale, maybe you can use a coupon? Download the app on your phone and you should be able to pull up a 40 or 50% off one to use.

I am in my seventies and also have difficult with a zipper so I too might omit it. Is the dress very loose - it looks it. Is it a slightly drop waist?
Looks cute. yes I think straps on the side to tie the waist will cinch it in nicely 😀 but t still looks cute and super comfy! Love the bee fabric ❤

Thanks for watching!

I'm glad to help! I like skirts to hit my knees too, its just the look I prefer and easy to wear/do things in. Enjoy the sew, I really liked it!
I have this pattern and now am more interested in making it! Thanks for the review.

@@onelisashow I’ll keep an eye on whether I need a zip as well. Thank you again!
Looks great! I have this pattern but haven't made it. Thanks for the review, I didn't know we could use both woven & knits. Have a great week!
Thanks Granny! I hope you are having a good week too!
I would size down a size if making it in a knit. Very cute on you.
Thanks Gloria!

Good luck with adjusting! I wonder if you can grade up a few sizes for the waist area only?
Hi lisa I love the fabric of your top. I'm at joanns now was it on sale?

Hi lisa .
I found it! And got it.
Now I have to figure out how to print pattern of galaxy. Thank you!!!!!
I was able to use my 40% coupon!!!
It looks good. Good sewing. For the gathers, did you try sewing 2 rows of basting stitches?
Thanks! Yes, I did 2 rows of gathering stitches. I am hoping to try using elastic the next time.
I am making this dress right now. I need to complete the neck & heming it. How could I get you the pictures?
I’d love to see your version when you are done! Are you on Instagram by chance? You could tag me if you are
@@onelisashow Yes I am on instagram I will do that when I get it done. Yours looks beautiful on you!
thanks!
I would post a photo, but don't think it will let me on here
