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

Thank you 💓

[@adenikeadedoyin8680]

Thank you very much for this. I really understood it better
I just want to know how you turned the armhole since you didn't use a sleeve in your dress
Did you use bias as well?

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome. I turned the armhole with a bias tape

[@graciousqueeneth3810]

Thanks dear

[@IvyKrah]

@@TheSILEM pls is the after you have cut the cowl neck top or before

[@josephinedadzie2117]

well done💯👍

[@TheSILEM]

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.

[@user-zo5tt1zm9q]

Wow, thank you so much for this but i just have a question to ask. Can i use Ankara for the cow neck??? Will it drop well as this?

[@TheSILEM]

Ankara wouldn’t drape as well as satin, silk or chiffon

[@nonyejudith8079]

How many yards of fabric would do

[@famusanmilucia2010]

Is so beautiful!!

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you!

[@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

[@adaodumeke3167]

Tnk u ma. Pls can u help me suggest materials that will be great for cowl neck styles?

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome! Duchess satin and silk are great options.

[@laisanekedrabuka1515]

Thank you
What material did you use?

[@TheSILEM]

Duchess satin

[@gladcentamaka841]

Thanks so much. Pls how did you pipe the armhole?

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome! I used a bias tape

[@ifunanyauboma2805]

Can I use an ankara material for a cowl neck?

[@TheSILEM]

Yes, you can. But it might be a little stiff

[@christianaolisakwe9937]

Thank for the tutorial but can I fix the zip by the side? I want to use invisible zip

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome! Yes, you can

[@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.

[@lucyibezimako7321]

Weldone dear,God bless u💋💋💋Bt u didn’t show us how u finshed or turned d armhole,did u pipe it or wat?

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you 😊 I turned it with a bias tape

[@michelleamoussouvi3196]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial... But Please what did you do to the armhole?

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome. I piped the armhole.

[@Sewingfreely]

Very nice and easy.❤❤

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you!

[@princeamoah3032]

Please which fabric did you use for your cowl neckline

[@TheSILEM]

Duchess satin

[@chukwurachel1146]

Can you make the cowl dress using dullface satin

[@TheSILEM]

It’s best made with duchess satin

[@chukwurachel1146]

Okay ma
But can you still get same results with bridal dullface satin

[@anasteciambah4448]

Pls ma,can you do a video on the sleeveless cowlneck with criss cross bck

[@TheSILEM]

Okay, I will.

[@debbyejiro7867]

Thanks sis please how many yards did you use in total.

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome dear. I used 3 yards for the entire dress.

[@ichokuchioma8669]

Please do the off shoulder please

[@TheSILEM]

Okay

[@user-sn6mn7kj3z]

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,

[@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

[@harrietoforiwaa7467]

Please my fabric is too stretchy do i need zip?

[@TheSILEM]

No, you don’t need zip if you’re using a stretchy fabric

[@bukolatemitope1094]

Please what's the name of the material u use for this style ma

[@TheSILEM]

It’s called duchess satin

[@bukolatemitope1094]

@@TheSILEM tnks ma

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome

[@themissdeeshow]

How come u added a dart but didn’t add a dart allowance to the original measurements you took when taking the round horizontal measurements

[@TheSILEM]

Please add dart allowance to yours

[@adenikeadelakun3574]

Thanks so much, one thing I like about your tutorial it's your explanations first and second I watched your tutorial I really like it, then when making ruched skirt be it long or short how many inches can I add to it,in other to have my main measurements back and well ruched, please are you on Facebook, please i want to make a request ma thanks

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome! You have to double your desired length when making a ruched skirt.

[@adenikeadelakun3574]

@@TheSILEM am grateful ma

[@oluwayemisilawal7729]

🎉

[@IvyKrah]

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

[@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.

[@gemulostar1367]
