Good tip about pressing the shoulder straps before sewing and turning them! This is why I watch all of your sew-alongs, even for garments I'm not planning on making: there's always something -- ranging from "ooh, interesting!" to "what is this sorcery?" -- that I can use in my own projects. The dress looks great!
It's those small details such as pressing the shoulder straps before sewing & turning them that I feel really elevate the quality of your work. It's something that I'm also going to be doing going forward! 🧵
Thanks Sîan ! Great video. I love how you consider each detail and the way you order yiu tasks to achieve the finish you like. Great content! Will definitely be watching more than once. I know you tube loves the shorts but I think you tube is great because of this legacy style of video that is a great reference material! Bravo 🙌
Thank you for doing this video. The tips and tricks/finishing details that you show have me adding this video to my “watch again” list and I will watch it again and again.
The dress turned out great! Stitching the straps in at the front and adjusting them in the back is an 'interesting' choice. Definitely a good example of why you should always read and think through the instructions before following them. Good luck with the current summer! I'm sitting here with a blanket over my lap. ❤
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. I like your videos a lot because no time is wasted on showing the machine running the stitches. Do you have a tutorial on how to grade between sizes in the right way so that all the seams match up? Thank you! You are the best!❤
🤩. Lovely dress and a great video. I really appreciate your explanation of doing the different initial widths for the French seams. I will have to mark this video for future reference as it contains so much good information . Looking forward to the complete sew a long. 😊
I did actually cut it on the fold originally and then had to cut the piece apart!! I'll adjust the pattern to eliminate the centre back seam for the next one :)
Just so happened to pick this pattern up the other day! So happy to find a sew along for it, thank you! Also happy you discuss the bust adjustment as I am a bit between sizes and was wondering if I should go up or down- snug vs looser bust fit.
Yay, turned out so great! I've had my eye on this pattern for a little while (since you had it in the patreon vote!) Now I'll definitely need to get it! #sianmademedoit 😄
Great tip about French seaming princess seams. One of the things that annoys me about generic commercial patterns is how rubbish they are at telling you how and when to finish raw edges. Also having a 5/8 allowance on a straight seam you immediately have to trim down, like those straps. what is the point
Great Video! I’m a circle skirt fanatic too. I have a request. Can you please do a tutorial on Butterick 6925 (c) with the sleeves of (b) added to the blouse. My goal is to use that as the bodice for a circle skirt dress. Pretty Please with Cherries on top?
I made this dress recently but realised I should have lined it as clipped princess seams are not pretty overlocked! Having watched this I may attempt french seams for my next one if my fabric isnt sheer!
I have started doing the list of pieces I need after watching your vids - such a small tip but when you spend half an hour searching for your neck binding to realise that you didn’t trace it is frustrating!

Thank you for doing this as a sew along! I really learned a lot of great tips!
It's stunning! 😍 The style is perfect for your hourglass figure, and the fabric - oh my word, the fabric...🤩 Dreams are made of this!
Ooh. Lovely dress

🧵 looks a great addition to your T & T
Gorgeous dress, thanks for the sew a long much appreciated.
Lovely dress, amazing fabric. So swishy!
Beautiful dress ❤. I never understand why the big 4 wants you to cut two pieces on the center back and not cut on the fold when there is no zipper.
I did actually cut it on the fold originally and then had to cut the piece apart!! I'll adjust the pattern to eliminate the centre back seam for the next one :)
Gorgeous dress. Looking forward to the sleeve version because i really struggled with it but i did make in chiffon 😊
That came out so pretty! I think I had something made of that exact fabric pattern back in the late 80s, early 90s. It looks so familiar!
Well done you, the dress looks fantastic on you👌
So pretty, it’s perfect for you
Perfect!!! Now I can make it too!!!
Thanks for your detailed discussion of how your are doing french seams for the different seams. I love french seams so appreciate this new detail!
It's a gorgeous dress and looks stunning on you! I've had this pattern for a while, so I really need to try it!

Lovely dress, Sian! Love all your videos! BTW, do you have a sew along for the Sirocco jumpsuit? I searched UA-cam but couldn’t find it? Thank you
I haven't done a Sirocco Sew-Along .... yet!
i think there is one from Andrea from beyond the pink door
Thank you @mim73.
Hi Sian, did you know the Textile Centre is trading again?
I did! I need to behave and stay off it though 🤣
