Have never seen this type of dress make an attractive silhouette on anyone. You’re better than that and deserve clothes you love and suit you💞💖🇦🇺🥰
Oh Rhonda… that is so true… love that you said it … you know the song ‘I put a spell on you!’ I swear it did do that… I knew it wasn’t my style, I knew my butt was too small, I knew but did I listen - nahhhh. I was like a cartoon animal that can smell the food cooling on the windowsill - and I floated towards it!!! Even though I knew I was gonna get caught 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well I’m outta that dream state now, reality has hit like a rock and I’m saying NO to clothes that don’t deserve me !!!
Thanks Hun for keeping it real 🥰 🇳🇿
🦩🦩💖💓💕💕
Hi Stacey, as a dress belted no, as a duster overshoot lovely
Anne, yes you’re right. If I was going to keep it, which I didn’t. Mum has it. I could never wear it closed! And belted NO. 🦩💖💕🦩💖💖
It’s a nicely made dress but it’s about how it makes you feel so time to move on to something that make brings joy
Wear it open with a bright top underneath. I do like the pattern but would size down at the shoulders for me and do it in a print with short sleeves. Four d your channel through the collar with Ruan. I’m in NZ and I like channels from down under.
Hello and welcome … thank you for tuning in. Mum walked away with the Dress yesterday… she came over specifically just to see if she could fit it and if it looked ok on her. She does love the flowy layers … and it would seem I made the dress for her 😳😜🤣🤣
Like the idea of a shorter sleeve, but alas can see that pattern being released from my studio 🦩🦩💕💖
Karen so true, I believe mum will love it. Much more joy out there for me coming up - thanks for watching. 🦩🦩💕💖
I just found you and I find you so real and hysterical!
Well Tracy join in some of this hysteria and reality… so glad to have you here… love to have you here
Can’t wait to get more comments from you!
🦩🦩💖💕💓💕💖
I love the color and the fabric, but I think you’re right. It hides your shape and overwhelms you. Before you give it away though, think about cutting it off to more of a shirt length… and maybe add fish-eye darts to bring it in a bit. Good luck!
Yeah it was definitely a bit too much around my bottom for my wee bottom.
Mum left today a happy girl as she got to take it home with her!! Happy she is happy with it.
Thanks so much for watching the collab and hope you stick around 🦩🦩🦩💖💕💖💕
I love that on you worn as an open flowy coat. Love the colour on you. Pull the sleeves up a little and you can layer with your thermals underneath. Love the length on you too x
Oh Queenie you are too kind... its too heavy to do that to it... Colour.. yes... rest hun no! 💗💗💗💗🩷🩷🩷🩷🦩🦩🦩🦩
When you know you know and you know how you feel about it. Not everything is a success. The colour is you and it looks beautifully sewn but it’s just not you. Love your vlogs Stacey! 🩵💞
@@ElaineR66 yeah and you know I know 😜🦩🦩
Hi, StaceyJ, just left Ruan’s video and came to see your make. I have fallen in love with the Palmer Dress but still had a similar result as yours. I’ve worn mine several times but I feel overwhelmed in it depending on the day. I was afraid to try the style you made because I have a pear-shape and those raglan sleeves never work for me. Your dress should match your style but the color is nice on you! You encouraged me to try SA patterns after seeing your other makes and I’m a convert but I need to choose my size more wisely. Thank you for sharing this make it may not be for me but I just may give it a go just to see. ❤❤❤🧵🪡✂️👗🙂
Morning Brenda,
Thank you so much for coming over. With Ruans lovely long body, she can really rock that Palmer Dress eh… me again high waisted and small butt-asouros I look 📦
The Palmer is also straight with the slight flare after the waist…. You might have made a size too large.
Yes… you always need to follow your style with the clothes you wear. When I selected that dress to make I was identifying at a 6ft slim model… unfortunately reality and dream state don’t met for me 🤣🤣
Please don’t discount Style Arc… I’m glad Ruan got a challenge to make one.
I’m always here is one hiccups you! I recently had someone contact me in regards to what size they should make ! I’m only a txt away 🆗
🦩🦩🦩💕💖💕🦩
Ruan sent me, liked and subscribed.Thank you for a great video.🌹
Thanks Foxes for coming over and I hope to hang out with you lots more (is that English?)
🦩💓💖💕💖
Hi there, the first dress I liked you in it used as a ShACHET. or Kokomo. Cute.
Thank you 💖🦩
I love it as a loose dress or cover shirt coat . Maybe if it was a different fabric and patterned . Could you put darts in it to shape it for you I’m bigger busted and need shape or it looks like I’m wearing tent xx the colour is beautiful xx
Yes exactly.. the bigger the bust the bigger the tent look.
I gave the dress - and rightly so to Mum. Suits her much better.
I have more left over, so watch this space for what I do with that!
Thanks so much for watching 🦩🦩💖💖💕💕
I agree, it's like a lab coat! 😁
I KNOW RIGHT!!! I pick the buttons and bin that thing 🤣🤣🤣🩷🩷🦩🦩💗
Oh thank you for making this dress - I have it in my stash and have hesitated to make for all the reasons you raise in your version - I am a similar shape and height to you - all bust, no butt or thighs - I now know that if I want to use this pattern it will have to be heavily modified! May just have to pass the pattern on to someone else
Faye… see we both had a dream and my itch was scratched. Modification to this wouldn’t be the same… if we had to do it for our bodies eh!! I’m gonna gift mine on!!
I am so glad this helped you🦩🦩💖💓💕
You can use it as a duster? I think maybe it would be better in a drapier fabric? Its also a little too big for you. I have problems with the raglan sleeves, it does not suite me. Made the hope dress, and gave it away.
Hi…. Duster as in a cleaner … 🤣🤣. I love it. Might use the flesh of the dress ti make a hat.
I think a chiffon on my body would be much much better.
The shoulders and bust fit … the rest just hangs with yards of fabric. My mum has made the Hope Dress a couple of times. I personally am not a Hope Dress girl either. I made the Sydney and handed that over to my bestie. Oh well eh! It’s only fabric 😜 and I have a load of it. The Fernbird it the only dress I’ve found I like that doesn’t have a waistband
Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🦩🦩💖💕💖🦩
On a good note, the shoes are lovely.
Annette, if you could see the boots I purchased today... but yes, the shoes a cute eh 🩷🩷🦩🦩💗💗
Oh bless ya! I think you could make that work. I’d be tempted to remove the pockets and take some off the sides. Maybe a little off the bottom and wear a lovely tan coloured belt. You’d rock it! Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone 🎉
Thank you so much Ruan, for taking the challenge, and running with it... as always, stunning on you.... it almost does seem a waste not to change it up... all those buttons I had to sew on 🤭🤣.
I am so glad you have now opened up another world of patterns, as you have realised, these patterns are just awesome!!
You will love Canva, been a member of it for over 4 years.
Thanks again Hun 🩷🦩💗🦩🦩
Stacy, I think you are spot on with calling the dress. There's something about the wide collar that does nothing for the overall appearance of the dress. Beautiful work, as always. We win some and we lose some.😊
Thanks exactly. That is what I thought but as it was something that was sitting in my mind like maybe it would work. I know it won’t but maybe it’ll work. I knew it wouldn’t and it didn’t and I’m good with that.
Now to the one I know will work 💓💓💓🦩🦩💖
I love the colour and the duster look. As a dress I think it looks best unbelted. I wonder what it would look like with slightly curved darts at the waistline?
I cut buttons off as well.
Carol so glad someone else takes off the buttons… I mean they’re not cheap are they.
As for the Anais… I know she ain’t my lady… as I said in my Fridaysews yesterday - I saw it loved the look.. knew it wouldn’t be something I could wear…. But I had to try it or it would keep nagging at me… now I’m free the only Anais I’ll wear now is the Anais Anais perfume 🤣🤣🤣
🦩💖💕💓💕💖
I think the dress looks elegant! Maybe wear casual shoes or wedge ones
Vicki, thank you for your kind words… I Mary Condered it… thanked it for its time but it gave me no joy and moved on… Mum came over yesterday and removed it from my studio yesterday 😜
Thank you though 🦩🦩💕💖
I find Style Arc patterns run large. I would have down sized. I think maybe by 2 sizes in your case. I love the colour and fabric choice! Could you take the dress in?❤
There is a lot that do run big Alison, Sydney is one for sure. Gifted that to Queenie.
I made a size 14 with an FBA. I felt the shoulders were a little snug. I would have to maintain the 14 on top with FBA but down to a 10 near the butt… totally blaming my mum for this 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I think I feel a Sunday Sitdown coming… maybe a live !
Would I take in the dress - yeahhhh nahhhh I’m not unhappy with the results as far as making it and it not suiting me… I super loved the challenge… and glad I have opened the world of Style Arc to Ruan… all my subscribers have seen me do a load of sew alongs with Stule Arc, but I’m only new to the community and have a small number of followers… now Ruan is world known with 12k followers and she can show them that style arc isn’t scary. Yeah I know you would think Style Arc would make me an ambassador eh 🤣🤣🤣. Nup don’t have enough followers apparently 🤔🤷♀️
🦩💖💓💕💓💕💖🦩🦩
@StaceyJsStudio The best Style Arc pattern I have made is the Logan Shacket. Ruan's Palmer Dress looked great.
All the best with your next make. ❤️
@@alisonodonnell7832 I also know that the Palmer dress would not suit my body type. The Tatum is going to be part of my Make 9.
Thanks again 💖🦩🦩💖💕💓
It looks lovely when worn open over your jeans... And you looked so much happier with it. Perhaps you would have liked it more in a print? It does look better with the white belt than without one
It would look way better on someone else right 🤣🤣
Maybe a chiffon print eh.
💖💓🦩💕💓
Oh I feel it for you, made so beautiful, and great expectations, speaking to you today I got the message you didn't like it and not your style, really...... Me off when that happens, great Collab with Ruan and pleased a convert to style arc, recon you should be getting some freebies from them 😂the amount of time you mention the company luvya ❤🎉❤🎉❤
N
Yeah I know mum, it really was like a ... mmmmm oh well!!! You remember that blue fabric we saw today and I said oh thats shear... and you were like yeah... there was pink, blue and maroon, maybe out of that fabric.... ???? No buttons and mmmm.. yeah... 🤷♀️💗💗🦩🦩🩷🩷
Yes something lighter and more what people call a duster, do I see a visit to lincraft coming up 😂😂😂😂😂🎉❤🎉❤
@@dianapower-qo8gy 🤣🤣🤣
Great review and you know what I think of it on you. Love the way it’s sewen but your mum has said she did want it on Ruan’s vlog😂. What’s next.? ❤🎉
What’s next. Mmmm not sure 🤔. Except my collab with Erin 😛
🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩💖💓
I stay away from Style Arc for the same reason!😅😅😅 I'm at my MD appointment listening to you❤
Zelda, I love style arc, but not all of their patterns. Their vast range is fantastic. Just the Anais and me - yeah nahhhh this girls booty is far too small. There is definitely no delicious in my booty!!
Love that you take me everywhere with you 🥰🥰🥰
🦩🦩🦩💕💖
@@StaceyJsStudio Lolololol.
@@ZeldaSews 🤣💖
Greetings Stacy! I’m here from Ruan s urging. I’m wondering if the raglan sleeves are not flattering for your shape and the fabric being slightly heavier hand are both part of the problem. I agree the color is wonderful! Thank you for encouraging Ruan and doing this challenge!
Hi, thanks for popping over to see my shirt dress… I feel the shape is definitely the problem, it’s never been a good one on me, but I’ve been eyeing this pattern for about a year and thought - hey let’s give it a burl! Done and dusted now .. no longer do I need to worry about it!
Glad I got her out of the comfort zone and into a new world 😜
💓🦩💖💕
Lab coat sprung to mind too! I don't like it belted but I think it would work as a dress if it was taken in at the sides and shortened at the back. Just my two cents!
Totally Steph. Lab 🥼 coat. The style would totally change if it took it in at the sides.
File 13 babe File 13. Ohhhh I could make a newsboy hat or 5 from it. That is a shed load of fabric!
Keep cool to after school hun 🦩💖💕💓💓💕💖🦩🦩
How about adding some two pointed darts, in front and back, for a little more shape? You could baste it and see…
Got the idea from looking at Style Arc patterns. There’s one similar to yours, but slightly shaped.
The dress looks nice as an outer garment, and might make a nice shirt, as well. But maybe you’re done, and I understand that feeling, for sure.
Hi Debora,
To be fair I had an itch with this pattern. IT was something I’d seen and thought… hey why not. Then I made it and remembered ’oh yeah that’s why not!’ 🤣🤣🤣
I have another style arc I want to make (dress) and I know it will suit me much better!
Thanks heaps for watching
💖💓💓🦩💖🦩🦩🦩
Your dress is absolutely beautifully made but you are 100% right - it’s not the best on you. It does look like a lab coat 😂 I completely missed that I won a pattern!! I’m off to your community page now… xx
Bout time you caught up girl!
Yeah not at all happy with the dress but happy with now not wondering about that pattern!!
Let me know which one and of course then where to send it 💓💓💖🦩🦩🦩💕
Hi Stacey, new subscriber here. I have a similar body shape and I have found that oversize long dresses without waist shaping always make me feel dowdy. I like the dress open as a coat but it doesn't hang right as a dress; the side seams swing forward. It looks well sewn though. Now off to watch some of your other videos!
Natalie welcome to my show. Thanks for joining me. Yes I’ve always known that a full dress like that is not good for my body but it was plaguing my mind and I had to make it. Made now and the plague has gone.
I was always gonna make it so it was always gonna have the same outcome only. I obviously did it and the biggest display with doing a Collab with Ruan.
Next one will be the shape I need to wear to help shape this body of mine 😛
Let me know what you think of my other content and again thank you so much for joining me and my Crazy.
🦩🦩💓💕💖
First thing I have learnt is that’s it’s not us sensei, it’s the clothes. Belted is better but neither is really you. Even the colour doesn’t bring that flamazing glow to your face like the embrace me cardi from PE. And your mum is right, SA should be giving you an ambassadorial role, you give them so much love to us all. I even have a couple of their patterns now (note to self, make one!!)! Also sometimes when you have an itch to try a particular pattern you just have to go down that rabbit hole. And definitely lab coat vibes! I think a palette cleanser make would be great next sew… how about a dodo?!🤣. Have a flamazing tomorrow and weekend sensei and see you soon, PS hand surgery for left hand now booked in for August 2nd. Will be trying to get another couple of makes done in the meantime😱🦤🦩🧡🦗
PPS: loved the intro music!!
I like it on you without the belt and free flow ..it’s a gorgeous colour ..as a Brit I have loads of style arc patterns love them .the size 16 fits me great .
Hi Joan, sorry for the delay in my response.
Mum is the proud owner of the Anais… I’ll stick to Anais Anais the perfume 🤣🤣
The colour is gorgeous yes… the dress on me…. Yeah nah… but I can tell you the itch I had to make it when I saw the pattern is gone…. Yaye.
Thanks so much for watching…. I hope you stick around 🦩🦩💖💕
What a nice make. It is a lot of fabric around your small frame. As a dress, nope too much fabric, and too closed up.The duster idea will work. Play with the sleeves as well. My Sis is petite n busty n we play with her necklines, an exposure level comfortable to her, length n volume of garment, and the sleeves. With my Sis, more skin makes her look taller than she is. Sis is 5' 1". I am 6' and yes we have same Mom n Dad..oh we questioned that for sure 😊. But back to the subject. Also the dress/duster could use side slits as well. That would allow more of your body, with jeans or skirt, to show. I would opt for strappy shoes with more foot showing , elongating the leg. I know for me, once I have put a "negative" like "dowdy" out in the universe, it is hard to see things differently. Hopefully you get use from the garment. If not it finds a loving home. 😊 happy sewing
Exactly, as I said in the vlog more skin less looking like a piece of fabric!! Will the bust being 110… I definitely agree more flesh This bull looking. I knew it wasn’t my style but I really like the look of it and there was a small part of me that thought it might be okay so you know when you decide just to do something just to see and if it doesn’t work, it takes that out of your brain of what if - what if - what if, that’s what Dress was.
I should have stuck with my original style arch dress I was going to make but I already had that pattern and thought that I might as well give it a burl….
I understand the height differences within a family… my eldest is 6’2 and his brother has reached about 6’. Their father was 6 foot. But with my youngest passing Mr. Christopher he is just shy 6 foot. My daughter is my height and I was the shortest in my family at 5’5 1/2”. That half counts 🤣🤣
It’s gonna be a give away for sure or a bin.
I have a place I sent my fabrics that are trimmed off for scraps and might end up in there so the kids can play with it when they are doing something
Thanks for watching 🥰
🦩💓💖💕💕💖💓🦩
Unfortunately this kind of dress doesn’t suit anyone who is far from an hourglass shape. I’m pear shaped and it wouldn’t suit me any more than it does you. Shame cos I love the idea of it and find the shirt ends at the bottom really cute. Ruan looks good in a very similar dress but she’s a lot closer to the traditional hourglass shape. A few years back I signed up for a course that would recommend clothes based on my body type and that really helped me understand and accept the figure I have and stop trying to have someone else’s body. I wished I’d done something like that in my teens as it would have saved me a lot o heartache and a lot of money! Great to see a video talking about this issue.
Hi Hope,
Exactly…. I knew it wasn’t gonna suit me, and the itch is scratched.
I did a few Sunday Sitdowns on body types etc. I learn in my teens about clothing my friends could wear and I couldn’t.
As I sew for a living, I have to steer
My clients away from some looks… but explain it to them.
And now the itch is scratched I can move away from it - miles and miles away 🤣🤣🤣🤣
About 15 years ago, a friend tried to get me to try on a full skirt from the waist… I tried to tell her it wouldn’t suit me… I had to put it on to prove to her they didn’t suit me 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting. I truly appreciate it 🦩💓💖💕💖🦩🦩
I actually like it open, though I would style it with a slim trouser and heels instead of jeans. The color is lovely, and I love the white shoes you were wearing with it.
Hiya Sheila, thank you … I think that it’s better in the hands of my Mum. She came over in Monday and tried it on… and she won it 🤣🤣🤣
Looked great on her open and closed… phew. Not a waste!?
I LOVE the colour too so thank you. I have some of the material left so will make something else. Maybe trs.
Those shoes are super cute eh… been a while since I’ve worn them…. Think I’m making a dress for a cocktail wedding reception and will wear those - I do love a cute shoe
🦩🦩💕💖💕🦩
Totally agree not for you shapeless you are drowning in it. Love your channel
Totally totally eh…. Totally drowning in it. Like Smurfette in papa smurfs lab 🥼 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for watching and loving 🥰
🦩💓💖💕💖💓🦩
I agree with you I think it is a bit overwhelming on your body but I do also think that if it had been in a dark background print, it would have been more wearable for you. You made it beautifully though.
I really liked it duster style! It didn’t seem too dowdy in my opinion.
That's a shame that you don't love your dress, i am quite busty and flat bummed find that unstructured bodices make me feel frumpy, even though i am 67 i like to feel stylish my favourite style arc is the belle woven, a couple of adjustments just love style arc but sometimes it takes a little head scratching
I had a funny feeling that the dress wouldn't suit me, because of the style... and at 67 you are allowed to stylish... its what gives us a boost, looking at ourselves and being happy with the reflection... bonus for mum though as she got the dress.... I should have stuck to the original dress the Tatum... that will teach me right... I have the Belle dress.... might be keen to have a second look at it now!! Style Arc is out there to keep us on our toes right 🤔
💕💕🦩🦩😍
You should use it like a duster/coat
Already removed it from the studio… my mum has it and will and can wear it both ways. 💖💖💕
🦩🦩💖💖
I think you need more shaping; could you put in fish eye darts?
Hi Jackie, thanks for your comment. Already gifted it to my Mum. She came over yesterday to try it on and she had more to offer it 😜. She went away a very happy visitor 🤣🤣. Now let’s see if I can steal on of her cardigans she knits for me as a happy replacement 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks heaps 🦩🦩💕💖💕💖🦩
Yeah!! NO! I agree with you ☺️
Yeah, No - I KNOW RIGHT …. Roll on the next pattern. Happy to remove that from my mind 🦩🦩💖💓💕💓💖
I have made the Anais dress twice and wear one with a belt that is out of stiffer fabric, and one out of softer fabric without. I shortened the dress significantly, as I am short but also made the back and front the same length. I also found the shoulders stick out a bit funny - but I do have broad shoulders. However, after saying all that, I do like the dresses. I do agree that yours does give off lab coat vibes. I think the fabric is what is turning you off the pattern.
Hi Stacy, I love the Anais dress but my body doesn’t like the Anais dress … I knew it wouldn’t … I have a large bust and no hips, and to add to it my waist is under my bust almost immediately! I am so genetically made it isn’t funny. My mum was big busted. High waisted small bottomed. My father long bodied no bottom so there wasn’t much of a chance for me to get a booty so I have to use it to my advantage and there are a lot of my clients that come to me with exactly the same body shape and I’m lucky I can really understand the woos and work with them. So it’s kind of wanted to make the dress. Didn’t think the dress is gonna suit me. That’s proof that it hasn’t and definitely definitely know now I can step back from the pattern and stop wondering. When I was in the Air Force in Australia, our frocks that came out were belted and we could wear the belt or we could go without the belt. I didn’t with the belt but the dress was fitting (1940’s style)which actually super super (in my youth) suited me.
I’m not upset that it didn’t suit me because it gave me clarity on a pattern that now all gift to somebody else.
It was a fabric I saw in Lincraft yesterday quite sheer fabric that might be nice for that but at the end of the day I made it as a winter dress to keep me warm because I don’t wear dresses a winter and I want to try to start but C’est la vie
Thank you so much for checking in and watching. It’s nice to have Stacy on the channel and I will hope you have subscribed and will keep watching.

Ruan loves her dress. I think convert ❤
@@annesullivan1171 she is and I am so happy that she did the challenge I feel it wasn’t allowing her to know some wonderful patterns thru the rumour of slack instructions…. (My work here is done 😜) 💓💓💓🦩🦩🦩
Always a problem with a big bust …as are many current patterns that hang from the bust ,colour glorious ,but cut for you not really !love the vlogs😀
Hi Mary,
Yes, I do have another style arc that I will make, shirt dress and I know that one will definitely be the one for me. I just love the look and thought I would see... answer given and no more will I wonder about it... it was good to make... Yea I do love the color... dem da breaks eh ... 🦩🦩🦩🩷
It's sad that you're not happy with your make. I agree that it is definitely not you, although, as a coat, it was kinda cute. I think if it was in a darker, more vibrant color, you might like it more. Love you, though! Keep on truckin'!😍
Jumping in the Kenworth Hun and left the Anais zone 🤣🤣
Yes I think I wasn’t that upset because I knew it wouldn’t work on my body, I just needed to make it to prove it. Love it when I’m right but yeah I should have made the one I have waiting as part of my make 9 🙄
Thank you thank you for watching I truly appreciate it. 💕🦩💖🦩🦩
Ah Stacey, thats a lovely style dress but it’s wearing you rather than you wearing it. I love the fabric colour. Try a very skinny belt, I think it looks better waist tied or wide open as a duster coat. I’d take a big chunk of length off it too. If you know you won’t wear it as is, chop it about to work for you
The dress is a good make and lovely colour but the dress is not for you in my opinion. It looks like am overall on you but did look better when you had it wide open. Maybe you could cut it down to a shirt length as the style and colour is very nice, and perfectly made.
Love the cardigan. Happy sewing thank you for your time very much appreciated 💕
I do like the shaping of the raglan sleeve with the collar. For me, I prefer more shaping, so I wouldn’t choose this pattern. Yours looks lovely in the “coat” style of wearing it, Stacey. We don’t need coats in South Carolina, so it’s a no for me. 😘🦩
Lynn, I have been the lover of a Raglan for years, and well as this would definitely suit someone, that someone isn't me... and I am ok with that...
Oh I do love a good coat, but I would love to go out in the summer and NOT take something warm to wear after the sun goes down...
Maybe a sheer fabric one might be quite gorgeous ... mmmm actually ... I think I know just the fabric... 🩷🩷🦩🦩💗
I think it is great as a duster. I am built from the ground up similar to you but smaller as I am only 5 foot tall. I never use a tie waist as it makes my hips look big and then my boobs are almost at my waist! Great honest video.
I know right… I hear you so clearly. Long lets short body grrrr. Cheers ma!!
You should see me in my dressing gown. Not a good look!
Thank you 🦩🦩💖💓💕
I love, love the color on you. Honestly, I think it is too big - and it hides your shape. I like it is better as a duster rather than a dress for you. (I follow Ruan and that is how I found you.)
Thank you so much… yes I love the colour, and yes it’s drowns me.
I want to thank you for coming over and checking me out. Hope you enjoy watching 💖💖💖🦩💕💓
Calling the dress dowdy 😊
And that is truly appropriate…. Mum has just taken it off my hands… outta my studio and off my property 🤣🤣🤣. Now I will only see it if she wears it out when we hang out !
She is super happy that she got it over Queenie getting it 🤔🤣🤣

🤔 There just seems to be so much fabric in the dress Abuelita, they’ve gone overkill with the amount of ease in the pattern . I do like the colour though and it’s definitely wearable as a duster. 💞🦁💞🦁💞

@@Craftytutu the ease of the dress about the hips would be better if I had some BUTT to fill it 🤣🤣
Because of the inverted triangle body it’s the opposite to a pattern sizing small bust and bigger hips. That I am not 🤔

Love the dress but I agree that it just overwhelms you as is. I like mclements6313's suggestions about shortening it
Hi Cynthia, I have handed over the batten to Mum. Hers to worry about now 🙄😉
It was a pattern that was itching. So I scratched it.
A beautiful make but I agree it has issues not relating to your sewing. I think it’s too big on the lower half, maybe also too long? I liked it with the elastic belt but think it’s too wide to work well with your waist as it looks like it sitting high due to the width of the belt. I think the colour is beautiful but maybe makes it look like a nightdress? I think I would be tempted to shorten it to tunic or even shirt length, it’s too good a make not to try and turn it into something you would be more comfortable in.
Giggled when I read your first line… oh yeah. The first issue was me dreaming it might (very small might) suit me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My biggest problem is I don’t have a waist and then no arse. WHAT - I know right!! Mum and dad combined!!
Just a thought. What about elastic in the back at the waist… only the back though!!
🤔
💖💖🦩🦩💓💓
Open👏🏻👗
Would be the only way right !! 🦩🦩💖💓💕
I agree, it doesn't do anything for your figure. I do like it all the way open.
Yeah that is so right eh… not my cuppa tea 🤔. Think it’s ready for file 13!!
I think you should roll the sleeves and pop the collar up belt it and go.. I like it without the belt though.. just opened as a topper with pants
Cindy… wear it like I own it. True, and maybe just maybe if I had made the dress out of chiffon… open would have been perfect 👌
However Mum had it now so she could wear it both ways - no belt though.

Hi Stacey, you wanted me to be honest, it’s not the shape for you, I think it is designed for a pear shaped person, you (like me) are the opposite to that shape. I have looked at that pattern before because I love a raglan sleeve, but the shape from the waist down is too wide for an inverted V shape. I think dowdy is the right word, you usually look so cool, I’d be giving it away you have so many better styles for your body shape, such a shame when you put work into it, but we all live and learn. I need to cull my wardrobe again before I pack, so I’m not keeping anything I won’t reach for, it’s just a waste of space, have a great sewing week, Deb
Hi Deb,
Yes it definitely isn't a pattern I normally reach for, but thought I would give it a burl... should have stuck to my original one grrrr.... I will make that next mes think!!
Love the raglan, but it stops there ... the bust is a perfect fit... I knew I didn't like it... but it was a fun collab, and I know that I will not be wearing it in public ...
Good luck with your culling... I have done that to my wardrobe a few weeks back....
Might just unpick the buttons and bin it... no real loss...
Enjoy hun 🩷🩷🦩🦩💗
Having watched for the second time I think the colour suits you to perfection and I think you could turn it into a beautiful shirt,as it is the dress looks to big , so disappointing.🌹
You know what Elaine, I think a cut down to a shirt would be the one think I would do too. I have more of this fabric (in my tiny wee stash) so I will have some to wear…. Ohhh what do you think about a bomber like style jacket shirt! (Mouthful I know right ?!😜)
💓💖🦩💕
A bomber jacket is a good idea but whatever you decide you must wear that colour as it looks lovely on you. I think the collar looks amazing and it frames your face really well.
@@foxeymoore oh that is so nice… I have about 3 mtrs of it left! So might make a bomber jacket cause I have the recipe for one 🦩
Lab coat is exactly what that dress is on you. The cardigan at the end has an interesting shape, and is lovely worn open. The dress is better open, but doesn't have much movement. Maybe in a floatier fabric? It's better belted, but the fabric doesn't seem to like being belted, and looks bunchy. And, honestly, you're so dissatisfied with it, I'm not sure you'd see it much differently, even if you got lots of comments saying it's great. You just don't feel great in it. Shame it wasn't the result you hoped for, but that's how we learn, isn't it? 🙂
Hi, lab coat, duster coat, my dads coat if I was 5 years old... the cardigan is the Embrace me Cardigan, by @patternemporium.
Yes maybe a floatier fabric, I think I wrote in my mums comments about some fabric we saw today.
I knew it wasn't for me, the pattern that is, but I knew I needed to scrub that out of my entire realm or I would always ponder it... so gone burger now...
Funny I am not sure anyone will say it looks good on me, and that doesn't worry me, cause I know it doesn't... one of my sunday sitdowns was explaining the body type.. and I knew.. but I really wanted to try it.... 🤷♀️🤭

@@StaceyJsStudio I understand that. Sometimes, you just have to get something out of your system. :-)
@@callitags and honey ITS OUT 🤣🤣🤣. Now where to send the pattern! 😬😳
🦩🦩💖
I think it has a nightie look when not worn with belt
Exactly. And with a belt isn’t much better. Mum has it and is very happy with her score! 🤣🤣🤣
🦩🦩🦩💖💕
I agree with you ..don’t think the long shape suits you .. too straight and shapeless ..perhaps shorten to shirt length.. lovely colour ..looks great fabric.
Mum has it, looks good on her. It fits way better.
Too straight and shapeless… me or the dress 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I wanna say a bit of both to be perfectly honest … except the bust… 🤔😜
I have more of that fabric so will be making something else for sure
Thanks heaps for watching and commenting 🦩🦩💕💕💖💖
I think you're right, the dress style doesn't suit you. I've been sewing over 50 years and still I make things that don't suit me sometimes. It happens. Oh well , on to the next thing. I love the My Embrace cardigan too. I have 3 of them. Yours looks fab on you.
Michelle, exactly... when I was younger I always wanted to wear what the other girls were, and wondered why is looked so bad on me... I knew better but I just wanted to fake it... 🤭
I am the opposite to the 'pattern' stylings... large on top and small on the bottom... hence why I normally follow a strict style.... back on the right path now though!!

It looks huge on you. Maybe in a floral. The colour is not good on you it’s too pale. Love your vlogs. Happy sewing.
Hi Noeleen,
See I don't mind the colour but yip, that thing hangs off me like I'm 5 and playing dress ups in my mums clothes (no offence mum) I think a rayon would be way better...
🩷🩷🦩💗💗💗
I, too, have a larger bust. I tend to stay away from raglans because a FBA that is effective is just hardly ever successful. I also find that anything that “tents” off the girls is never a good look. I can remember when I first saw your Fernbird and knew immediately that it was perfect for you. (I still have that one on my list). This is just not your dress. There is absolutely no one who can successfully wear all the styles. They are designed for different bodies and a perfect body does not exist. (Though many of us keep thinking that might be true if we were just a little more or less this or that) This one might look ok on a tall, leggy, straight (smaller busted) figure but I’d need to see that to be sure.
This pattern is just not worth the effort. By the time you got it to suit you and me it wouldn’t be the same pattern anymore. Too many beautiful Style Arc’s for you to bother with this one.
Keep up the good work!
Perfectly said and yes yes. I was surprised about the fernbird because of the hanging from the bust. And was pleasantly surprised. Yet this, as much as I wanted it to be my thang was far from it. I think maybe the Fernbird (although totally different- but still a bust hanger) sent me into delusional thoughts 🤔 maybe I had put on enough weight to make me look good in it 😳🫣🙄.
Get the Fernbird off your list girl and get it on your body. Summer is coming. Or are you in it now. Even mum is pumping out the FB tops.
Tall and lean has never been my scene… DD at 12. Joys oh joys. (Back to genetics and my Sunday Sitdown talk) thanks mum and Nana. 🙄
I have another StyleArc that I am making for my make 9’s. You’ll love this one on me/us.
Yes - Changing the Anais (think I’ll just stick to the perfume) will totally change the style. And that’s why I’m happy that Mum has removed the dress from my studio.
Love love love this long comment and the time it took you to write it, thank you sew much 🥰
Us FBA girl need to stick together right 🤔🥰
🦩🦩💕💖💕🦩💕💖
I totally agree with you about the lab coat look. I don't know if it would be more flattering in a different fabric - something patterned and drapey?
But I just think the shape is not for you. Sorry 😢
Don’t be sorry chick, I knew it wasn’t but it was plaguing my dreams so I had to make it.
Looks like I might take up science when I have it on 🤣🤣🤣
Much prefer honest too 🥰
💓💖🦩🦩🦩🦩💕
It’s way too long for me, I would prefer it as a tunic top
True.. as it was a dress and I am not that much of a dress going wearer, I thought long and flowy… but apparently (and internally I knew this) I’m a specific kinda dress wearer.
The next one I’m super excited to make.
Thanks heaps for watching
🦩🦩🦩💕💖
Duster looked nice, colour nice, as a dress no, sorry after all that hard work x
Deb - hard work not wasted my friend… mum took it home today… with a smile on her dial!
Thanks for the comment 🦩🦩🦩💕💖💕💖
@@StaceyJsStudio win, win for mum 😉
@@debtaylor2387 she is over the moon… my bigger issues usually head to Queenie. So yes she happy 🤣🤣
🦩🦩💕💖
It is quite roomy-if you wear it over jeans and a top-it's still very big. Could you shorten it or maybe you don't care to mess with it anymore🤷♀️.
I am totally happy I made the dress. I really wanted to get the dress made… it was dancing in my head… made now and happy to fix the ‘should I make it’ thoughts.
💖🦩💓💕
There seems to be way too much fabric in front from waist down.
Looked better as a coat.
Nicki, send home… out of my studio and now will be in mums closet! 😮💨
Yes much better as a coat on me. But much better all over for mum
💕thank you for your support and comment 🦩🦩💕💖💕💖🦩
I think if u size down ,it will work better
I think I need to size down quite a few for my hips. Definitely not my bust … so that would totally alter the shape.
Thank you so much for watching 💓💖🦩💕
Ah I think there is too much fabric on the sides for you. I think it doesn’t do much for you. Colour nice but such a shame after all your hard work.
I love your cardi tho. V flattering.
Doesn’t eh… not much at all for me. I have my cardi on today before changing to head to a funeral. Need to put on bright pink… requested.
Thanks 🙏 for your comment 🦩🦩💖💕
Not the dress for you IMO. Colour ok. Fabric too stiff to suit you. Maybe if done in a floatier fabric it might be ok. Thanks for the video, I learned lots. 🤗
Thanks Catherine…. You’re right. It is now in mums wardrobe… not sure I’ll keep the pattern either 😉
Yes colour is nice and have more so will get to make something else with it💕🦩💖🦩🦩
It seems altogether too large, and you are a different shape, as you said. You need to emphasise your narrower hips and your feminine bust line. Love to see something else, love from Victoria.😊
I know I know.... but you know when you see a pattern, and you think... maybe this is gonna look different to me ... but hey... the next one will be one that fits the bill... I should have made the one I want, but just wanted to sneak in the Anais to trial it... the other one is in my list of Make 9 for this year... 🦩🦩💗💗🩷🩷🦩🦩
You’re right……it does nothing for you. You know what suits you and that isn’t it.
Exactly Evie, and I’m not upset about it… it’s now put that pattern outta my mind! 💖💕💓🦩
I was so disappointed for you in making the Anais.. With respect I think you used the wrong fabric, it looked to thick, colour was flat.. your dress look more like a shacket or a topper.. Stacey, I know you over it but could I suggest you go and check out Cloth Edit youtube channel, Gabrielle made the Anais twice and she rocks it. Her sisterhood might not be a big as yours (F cuppers) but it looks like hers are quite impressive too.. (sorry Gabrielle if wrong). Gabrielle Anais is more fitted around the shoulders and boobies. Yours seem too big ..
No offence meant but maybe something went wrong in the translation as they say.. love and respect always to you Stacey..
Kerry, firstly NOT OFFENDED babe, my body shape is not made for that style, especially when my butt is small. I watched Gabrielle vlog early this year on it. Unfortunately Gabrielle has more of a bootie than me … giving her more of a waist. My Anais would have to drop a few sizes under the bust to shape for me better. Then it would loose its shape.
Fabric understandingly was wrong.
I was living a dream in hope that for some reason this dress would suit me - in my head I knew other wise.
Didn’t help that I had actually lost a little bit of weight (shhh keep that under your cap)
But honestly I’m good. I just wanted to see if i could wear it. No harm no foul!
Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰
💖💓🦩🦩💕💖💓
You did hit the nail on the head, lab coat it is! You need something shaped inwards below your waste, you have lovely slim legs and this pattern does nothing to accentuate this part of your body. I like the colour but feel it’s a little too light with your blonde hair. Also the collar makes the top a little old fashioned looking. Belting it for me would be a no no. Sorry.
No no do not be sorry Linda… facts are facts!
I saw it, I dreamt about being able to wear it… I collaborated with it… and I lost … let’s say… I fought the law and the law won!
I have another dress I am going to make should have made this time but didn’t make 🙄. You’ll love it on me. I promise 🤔😜
Thanks for watching 🦩🦩💕💖
I prefer the dress as an overcoat with the buttons undone. I don't think it suits you as a dress.
No thinking involve hun, it doesn’t suit me at all. And l’m definitely the first to admit it 😳🙄🫣
Mum had removed it from my studio with glee… happy to get my cast offs. Normally they head north to Queenie… not this time 🤣🤣🤣
🦩💖🦩💖💕
Hi Stacey
Well. I love the colour on you and l like it open with your jeans.
But as a dress sorry but l dont think that it suits you.
What a bummer😢
Guess what Libby, besides being totally right, mum scored the dress and it looks great open and as a dress. More her style than mine! Colour yeah right lovely. 🥰
All good in the hood and have a happy mum
🦩🦩💖💕💖🦩💖💕
Lucky her
@@libbybennett3067 🤣🤣she thinks so
Love the colour on you but it doesn’t compliment your shape and give definite lab coat vibes
Definitely lab coat right! Yeah I’m fond of the colour too. Think the fabric was wrong they style was wrong and it scratched an itch on that patterns.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts- I totally agree with them 💖💖
🦩🦩💖💕💓
I wore a lab coat at work for years and even had blue ones for a number of years....
@@sheelaghheugh9152 so my dress would either scare you or bring back fond memories 🤔🥰
Fond memories luckily 😂
No I don’t like
Well said 💖… me neither! But had to prove it to myself 🤣🤣 very publicly 😳🤣😜.
I had another in mind to make and should have but you know when ya get something in your head… and you do it in spite of what you know it will be like - that’s exactly what I did.
I do have quite a bit of that fabric left so watch the space to see what I make out of that it better be something I will wear 🤔🤣
💖💖💓💓🦩🦩💕
I'm agree with you 100% where I saw it i was not impressed I don't like it just being honest 😊😊😊
I think I was honest enough for you all to agree with me... I saw it.. there wasn't much (except the exceptional FBA) that looked good on me... but it was one that I was hoping would work, and secretly knowing it wouldn't - C'est La Vie
