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

[@oncheugbabe6509]

There's always something to appreciate about you. I'm feeling the hairstyle.

[@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

[@praiseojo5580]

So educative...can you pls do tutorial on back cowl neck?

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you. It's the same process. Just follow thesame steps, but do it on the back pattern

[@o_salam9934]

Nice tutorial, please can I use crepe material for this

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you. Yes, you can

[@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

[@eniolaadeyemi4070]

Thanks so much
I really appreciate
Please I want to asked if it's compulsory for us to cut on pattern paper before cutting on the fabric

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome ☺️ No, it’s not compulsory but it makes it easier

[@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.

[@matildachigor8790]

You are a great teacher thank you so much ❤️🥰 you made it simple for me

[@FalodunTaiwo-f6j]

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

[@princeamoah3032]

Please which fabric did you use for your cowl neckline

[@TheSILEM]

Duchess satin

[@gladcentamaka841]

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

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome! I used a bias tape

[@famusanmilucia2010]

Is so beautiful!!

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you!

[@giftytenewaankansah8913]

Thanks very much
Please if you want one sleeve to be off shoulder how will you do it

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome. You’ll cut off one shoulder and attach the off shoulder sleeve

[@IvyKrah]

[@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

[@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

[@bomadagogo7881]

You are doing a great job

[@TheSILEM]

Thank you!

[@fortuneasikoagu7440]

Can it also be done on gown

[@TheSILEM]

Yes

[@ChristianaKobe]

Thank you very much for this great explanation

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome

[@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.

[@olubunmiogunsan1741]

Thanks alot, i got the style well it looks good on my body

[@TheSILEM]

You’re welcome

[@michelleking3196]

Okay, I will.

[@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,

[@lucyibezimako7321]

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.
