Do you know what I like most about your channel? Well apart from you and the channel being yours that is: You're unpretentious and you work with what you have. There's no fake glaming things up and theres no need to cos your mastery of your trade is undeniable. Keep keeping things real.

[@TheSILEM]

This means a lot. Thank you

[@elimary6485]

Wow! Very nice video. It seems you didn't add dart to the front piece, only at the back. Won't the front be bigger during shaping?

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you. It would, but that wouldn’t matter when you shape it to your measurement.

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome!

[@themissdeeshow]

Hey hun how do u get ur chest line? Cuz my round arm hole Is 22 half is 11 but whenever I use it the arm hole curve is usually big ends up like 14 or so and if I use the half shoulder plus 1.5 method which is 10.5 it’s smaller than my half round armhole measurement

[@TheSILEM]

Simply measure from your shoulder to your armhole

[@oluwayemisilawal7729]

Like how many inches will i add to the front ,if i dont want to use spread and Slash method?

[@TheSILEM]

I don’t know

[@hannaholamide7693]

Good evening ma i don't know if you seeing this but it's kind of urgent 😢. Si I'm trying to sew this for myself. I have a question where i measured my burst point and you said you took 8 invhes of armit mine they quiet far from each other my burst point and armit measurement is that okay although I'm plus size like xxl. Thank you

[@TheSILEM]

You don’t have to use 8” for your armhole line if that’s not your armhole measurement. Simply mark your own armhole line and bust point line. Then mark quarter of your bust circumference of both lines, and connect them.

[@ataagh3197]

Excellent ❤

[@TheSILEM]

Thanks 😊

[@chukwurachel1146]

Can you make the cowl dress using dullface satin

[@TheSILEM]

Ma’am pls I sew it. The front was okay but the back shortened

[@TheSILEM]

In that case, add 1 or 2” to the back

[@IvyKrah]

@@TheSILEM okay thank you ma’am

[@JoceyItima]

This tutorial is really helpful,but the front is now longer than the back
Im stuck....

[@TheSILEM]

You probably made a mistake while drafting. Next time, you can make the back slightly longer so it’s the same length with the front,

[@gemulostar1367]

Thanks for the wonderful work you're doing. Bless you.😘
Please, why do you say that if the slash is spread more than 7 inches, one's cleavage would be exposed? Is it the same for everyone everytime. Please, explain. I really need to understand this.

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome. For most people, 8” from the shoulder shows cleavage. If you’re unsure, you can measure your client.
