I love that she links this straight from her insta, like yes this is what the people need

This is a really cute pattern, However, if it were me, I would create a pattern piece for the skirt. Given the fact that it has a dropped waist, you simply cannot just cut a big rectangle for the skirt, gather one side, and then attach it to the bodice expecting it to look good. If you did that, you would end up with an uneven hem and a strange pucker in the front below the "V", which is what your video shows. The skirt piece must take into account the dropped "V" waistline. I have been sewing for over 50 years and can modify your pattern so that the result it what is intended. However, if you have beginners trying to make this dress, they are going to waste a lot of fabric, time, and money on the skirt part. Just my two cents.
Thank you so much for your feedback!! I was having trouble with that bit and tried a few different things but all seemed to have that bunching. I’d love to hear more of what you had in mind if you’re willing to share 💗
@@TiaHrubala I will make the pattern piece and email it to you when I am finished!
Thats exactly what happened to me hahah. Spent all day today making the top and then got lost with the skirt and the ruffling and all that. Really cute design tho and ill probably just figure out a way to wear the top as a shirt hehe
@@mariapitel2148 I’m soooo sorry. I didn’t think the bunching was that bad but I’m going to try to modify the pattern Friday to reduce it!!
Yea I’m having trouble understanding the skirt part as well. It’s just a flared out rectangle?
For anyone attempting this project: I sewed this for a friend and would recommend making a first attempt at the bodice from muslin or scrap fabric so that you can mark and make alterations. It will be necessary. Additionally, for the skirt I ended up making a half circle skirt but would definitely recommend a full circle skirt to achieve that level of fullness. Gathering rectangular panels won’t have as much flair. Attaching the skirt to the basque (v-shaped) waistline was very difficult so I would recommend watching different tutorials on how to do that. Hope this helps someone!
Finally getting a chance to sit down and watch this tutorial in depth! I first wanted to say 'thank you' for all of your hard work in to editing this video, creating the physical product itself, and also taking the time to make this a free pattern for us! I know how much work it takes to do this, and your dedication to this art is not unnoticed by me!!! With that being said, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS -- 1. How much yardage did you use for this project, or how much do you recommend? 2. Do the pattern pieces in your tutorial also inlaced the lining (for example: your pattern says "SIDE FRONT CUT 4X) - Does that include the lining? // Thank you so much again, and I look forward to all that you create in the future! You have a huge supporter over here x
Thank you so much for your kind words!
1) As far as the amount of fabric I’d probably recommend 4 yards. It’s quite a bit of gathering for the skirt. I used the duvet cover that was about 2.5 yards but that was two layers of fabric making it 5 yds in total. I didn’t use all of the fabric though.
2) Yes! The number of cuts per piece does include the lining pieces.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see what you make. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
THANK YOU this is so cute!! starting to sew and want to make pieces i cannot afford to buy (and be inspired and create!)
AMAZING - just a thought for the print out - the grey squares with the page numbers actually use a lot of ink to print, so maybe next time you could omit the grey boxes!
Oooh!! Good point. I’ll change that moving forward. Thanks for the feedback!
Your TikTok brought me here and I am so appreciative for your gorgeous free pattern!!!! I want to make this dress in all black!!! Going to make it this months new sewing project of me. Again thank you soooo much I absolutely am in awe of your gorgeous design!
No problem!! I can’t wait to see what you make 💗
Really excited that I found your channel! I really enjoy that you share so much of your fitting and ‘figuring it out’ process from the beginning until the end. That teaches me a lot and helps me to envision how I could approach similar projects! Thank you ❤
i love love how you designed this piece!! It looks amazing and TYVM FOR THIS PATTERN!!
Tysm!! 💞
Thank you for making this free pattern! I'm using it right now and am even planning to make a second version with some modifications -like maybe a v-neck and/or a higher waistline.
ive been thinking about this pattern non stop since i saw it months ago, and i FINALLY found it again!!! so excited to try this pattern
I always think about the hardest sewing project possible and start it trully beliving that I'll finish in the same day, but end it up taking me weeks lol
Sameeee it happens every time and somehow i forget how time consuming it all is when i start the next one.
This is so beautiful. I definitely want to try to make it. Thank you for providing the free pattern. I know that's a lot of work. But honestly I wouldn't be able to try making it if it was a paid pattern. I have some pretty big financial goals im working towards so they are a higher priority than a pattern at the moment.
The first time I watched your video, after seeing the results I had to say “Wowww😲” , then immediately subscribe to your channel. 🎉🎉🎉
I loveeee the silhouette, you executed this so well! 😍
Thank you so much!!
Girl, this is brilliant and I'm so grateful for you making a pattern and sharing it 🎉❤
Thank you!
First of all, I’m obsessed with this design!! I also have some experience in sewing/editing and would be interested in discussing the video editor role :)
Thank you!! That’s so great to hear. Can you email me regarding the video editing position! I’d love to discuss further. My email is tiahrubala@gmail.com
Lovely dress. Very shapely pattern pieces. Love the lace up feature.
Thank you!
Love this dress!! I think the bunching up of the bodice could be fixed by using some interfacing in between the layers. That’s my plan for when I make this so I’ll let you know how it goes ❤
Ooooh good point! Let me know if that works for you!!
First of all, I love your work girl. You are so stunning too! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! 💞🥰
Your so sweet for making patterns! Oh my gosh that in itself is hard!
awww thank you so much!! it makes me so happy to share them and see what other people make
you just made my summer by posting this so I can make it myself
aww that just made my day! I cant wait to see what you make!
I looove the design of this dress
Such a beautiful dress, you have amazing skills! I do think the V in the front is a little to low (personal preference). Great work - crazy to think that was duvet cover!! 🥰🥰🥰
I joined a sewing club on discord and this is our pattern of the month 🥰🥰
hiya, i would love to join this!! what discord server is it??
Give us the inviteee
Keep on spinning!
I think the original pattern would have worked if you had not gathered the side skirt panels. You could've just cut them into a tapered flare on each side.
Thank you so much for posting! I saw this on Tiktok and have been waiting on the pattern!!
Sorry for the wait haha I hope you enjoy it. I can’t wait to see what you make!
The last dress with the puffed up straps- will you be creating a pattern for that in the future? It looks gorgeous I'd love to make something like that! Also this dress turned out amazing
This is a beautiful simple summer dress! You are amazing!❤️
I love it, your work is amazing!😍
Thank you so much!
How do you not have more followers?? This is soooooo good! I'm gonna try to make this
❤️❤️❤️
I’m making this today!!!!! Running to the fabric store
Ahhh can’t wait to see what you make 💞
I’m new to your channel and I love the dress!
You could cut the shorter side shorter and let it be a fashion statement 😊
Great idea!! I think I should embrace the mistake and do that!!
Hello, I just discovered your channel through IG. And you made me fall in loveeeee 😍 I so much love your style because it's modest and not TOO OUT THERE like 80% of American girls on social media. Totally followed and subscribed everywhere 😊 i also sew and can't wait to make this dress too! Thank you💕
This is my first time on your channel. That dress is absolutely fabulous. It looks stunning on you. I am so impressed with your skills as a pattern draper. Do you do flat pattern drafting as well? And the construction is really well done. The one criticism I have (well, two) have to do with the front "vee" in the skirt. I think it would look a bit cleaner if that were a seam rather than a gather there. It looks a bit "bunchy" and isn't falling correctly. A center front seam would correct that. Secondly, and this is purely a design choice,, the dip kinda looks like a crotch arrow. Not trying to point out (pun intended) anything unseemly, as I realize that that's how you wanted the dress to look, just sayin'. Anyway, it's a really well-done garment, and you look fabulous in it. But, what with your physique, you'd look good in a burlap sack.
Just subscribed because of tiktok! ❤
Aww thank you!!
I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR THIS
Did anyone figure out how to do the skirt? I’ve completed the bodice which looks beautiful - I’m using a bedsheet and have ended up trying to gather the one long rectangle for the skirt and it’s just not working out with the point in the front of the bodice. If the front was straight across I know it would work but I reeeeally want to keep it how it’s shaped…
This is a skirt shape I've been really struggling to find tutorials/patterns for. I am planning to cut a rectangle like she says, but I'll pin it straight across. While it's still pinned straight I'll do a second gathering and pinning along the waistline. After that I can unpin the straight part and trim the extra fabric. Planning to try that with the muslin mockup so I can reference that skirt pattern shape for future projects
I LOVE THIS, THANK YOU!!!
Really beautiful work, I’m inspired to try!
So amazing! Excited to try this out😁
Hope you enjoy it!
Love this!! ❤
So freaking cute! This has been all over my TikTok and loved watching the process here! xx
Thank you so much!!
thank you for the free pattern! loved the dress. I have a question, tho- how do you line up the pattern? like am I supposed to overlap the papers or keep it lined up side by side? I wanted the size of XS and it's really long (the back part and front were like to my knees!) so I was wondering if I'm doing it right! (it will still be long if I overlapped too.. which is why I asked!) also, in the video you mentioned about the other detailed tuition video of this dress? or did you mean something else? Thank you!!
Beautiful ❤❤❤
VERY cute!
omgggggggg thank you so much!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Hey girl roughly what measurements did you use on the skirt part! So excited to get this dress finished!!
beautiful!!
Thank you!!
This is a gorgeous design! I'm a video editor and I have some experience with sewing. I would be interested to discuss the video editor role.
So beautiful thank you so muchhj
You are so welcome!
Hi love your videos!!! 🎀🐻
Que vestido perfeito!! ❤
Vi no pintrest e como tinha a opção de ver aqui pelo UA-cam como você fez, resolvi conferir.
Thank you!!
i'm a beginner at sewing and was wondering if anyone could give a more detailed method on how to do the skirt portion. Thanks!
Which size did you make it in for yourself? This way I can take this as a reference :)
I followed size XS
AHHHHH YAAAASSS
can you please do a video on how you do your fashion sketches?! they are perfect!
Yes!! I'll try to film that sometime next week.
@@TiaHrubala thank you!! I can't wait :)
Woooow!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love this dress so much! Also if you're still looking for a video editor I would be super interested.
I love this! Thank you so much for the pattern and the tutorial. Do you know approximately how much fabric is needed ?
If I had to guess I’d recommend 4 yards! The duvet cover that I used was about 2 1/2 yards, but it was two layers of fabric, making it 5 yards in total. I didn’t used all of the duvet cover, but the skirt takes quite a bit of fabric!
This is so beautiful! I want to make a dress like this for a wedding this summer but is it possible to modify so that it has thin straps rather than the boat neck?
I live this dress and am so excited about trying the pattern! Do you plan to make it in A4 format? From what I see it is in letter size now and I can't print it in my country :( it is too wide for A4
It looks so great ❤. Did one of the curvy girlies tried that? I'm a bit anxious to invest the time and not beeing confident enough to wear it in the end.
I’m trying to make one for my cousin
I'm a video editor and I have been sewing for over 20 years. Upcycling, garments, quilts etc. You've probably already found someone but I thought I'd let you know.
Hi! I'm doing a trial run with a video editor this month, but I'll keep you in mind if it doesn't workout. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this pattern and all the hard work you do! Would you happen to know how large the grey squares are on the back of the pages? I want to make sure I am printing it out in the right scale :)
Hey! If I were to add boning, would I add it from the neckline all the way down to the skirt, along the front side piece seams? I was thinking of adding it but wanted to get some guidance :)
Nice dress but I would have made the front of the dress on the bottom straight across not a v shape. I'm new at sewing. I just subscribed to your channel.
Oooh good point! Maybe I’ll try that next time 💗
Thrilled for this Thrift Flip journey and to learn the Drop Waist Dress Tutorial! 🌟👗 We've sent you an email, we would love to connect and collaborate with you.
Hey, this looks so pretty🤩 Would you recommend this pattern for a beginner like me? I loooooove the stripes, but I might use fabric without a pattern on it if I try to make this dress (because the stripes make it more difficult I think…). Which size did you use? I’m also thinking of making a top from the free pattern :) TYSM for this video and the free pattern💞
Stripes can be tricky! If you're up for a challenge go for the stripes, but if you want to make it a little easier a solid fabric would look nice as well. I used the XXS Size!
😍
lemmie know if the editing job is still available since id love to edit for you!! (also super excited to use the pattern)
Hi! Can you share what sewing machine you use during these tutorials when making clothes?
Would this look good on an hourglass body shape?
❤🧡💛
How much yardage would I need for the xs? (In striped fabric)
I wanna try this!!! 😍 If I may ask: how big was your fabric piece to begin with? I'm not sure if I'll find one second hand or if I'll go to the fabric store.
She said 5yds
Hola que tipo de iPad o Tablet usan para hacer los figurines? Me recomiendan uno económico pero bueno??
Can you please describe the fabric ❤ love the dress
Yes! It's a cotton mix with medium/light weight!
can you pleeease share where is your top from, ive been looking for exactly that for months
do you think there’s anyway to make this into a romper?
Hii, just wondering, where does the zipper go? I'm assuming into the side seam of the bodice??
I put it in the very back because the lace up feature ends up covering it!
hi please provide link for free pattern of your green silk dress
can you pleeease share where is your top (blue, in the begining of the video) from? ive been looking for exactly that for
@@TiaHrubala thank you so much, i love your style an your projects btw:)
Not sure if you already found someone to help you out, but if not reach out to me! I love video editing and study fashion design :)
