The only thing you need to add to your description is that people need to make sure that the side seams leave enough space in the middle to fit the wearer. I'm a US size 20, so I would stitch a little closer to the edges - someone who is size 10 could place the seams further from the edges.
I've just made 2 of these for my mother. She is bigger than you, so I sew in about 5 inches instead, for the neck rather than fold in and sew, I use bias bind instead. Just discovered your channel and binge watching many of your videos. You're superb. I loved the contrast on the edges and will try this on the next Kaftan I make my mom. Thank you
I am going to attempt to make one for my mother as well. She is an extremely large lady, so I need to be extremely careful with my measurements. Tank you for your amazing video. Best pattern yet!!
Gorgeous! I was looking for one here in Brazil but couldn't find at the stores and buying on the internet is expensive. Found your tutorial and now I want to do one for me, thanks for sharing!! ♥️
She had a 3 yd or 108" fabric that is 42-44" wide. If you fold the 108" in half to equal 54" you can see there will be a front 54" and a back 54". The width of the fabric, 42-44" is folded in half and equals 21"-22" wide. Now your fabric will appear to be 54" long and 21"-22" wide, everything has been doubled. If you are wider than her, aren't we all 🙂 ;-) , you won't be able to measure in the whole 8-10". Instead, Measure your hips plus ease, at least 2". For example if your hips are 40" add sitting ease of at lest 2" ease. Your wing effect will not be like hers because you only have about 2" of "wings" But you can buy wider fabric. Some fabric comes in 54-60". Then you can get that nice flowy look at the elbows etc. I hope this helps someone in the future 🙂
Cut about 5-6 inches wide of fabric, fold in two and pin to the edge of the garment to sew. Watch this if unclear ua-cam.com/video/m1XV6BeQCr0/v-deo.html
Life saver. Thank you so much, did it in 40 minutes, easiest tutorial for me!!!!
Amazing!!! Glad I was able to help!

Thank you for the feedback, will bear that in mind for next tutorial 😊💓
I love the fabric used for the trim.

This is a great tutorial! I'm going to try making one right away.
Lovely this! You’re sew clever! ❤️🔥 ♥️
Thank you so much
Looks easy but I don’t understand did you fold the fabric into four or like how did you get the back of the dress or am dumb
I and all keep rewatching the video so don't feel like it's you alone 😅
Will do another tutorial for the same thing

Hi I love this dress
Hello and thank you ❤️
Very easy to make I love it
Please the 8 inches you took it for the butterfly effect can it be used for all sizes
Especially people with bigger hips
Sorry I have been offline for a long time. That measurement will be dependent on your size. The measurements in the vid are accurate for my size
@@MadeByDeolahow do you determine the measurements for this dress? I know you provided what works for you. I’m new to sewing.
HERMOSISIMO.
Thanks you 🙏🏾
Beautiful

How many metres of cloth does it need?
Depends on your size. I used 2
❤❤❤❤
How did you sew the sides of the dress?
Cut about 5-6 inches wide of fabric, fold in two and pin to the edge of the garment to sew. Watch this if unclear ua-cam.com/video/m1XV6BeQCr0/v-deo.html
