Some feedback from me, who has actually made this: - First of all, Jess, thank you so much. This was my first maxi dress and first time smocking/shirring and I’m so pleased with the result! I am about 184 cm tall and made it floor length, but 3M of fabric was still enough. I used a lightweight cotton instead of linen bc linen was too expensive, and it still turned out great. The shirring part was indeed not that hard but defo time consuming. It took me two rolls of elastic thread so make sure you have enough. I thought drawing the lines first was too much work haha, so I just used my presser foot to see more or less how much space I should leave between each line and the line before it. Worked totally fine, and the shirring is very forgiving, you won’t see little mistakes. For the straps: really see where you want them when you try the dress on, I put my back straps way to far to the side bc I didn’t. Pattern overall worked great and the shoulder straps (which I thought were quite long) worked perfect. Make sure to cut all your pattern pieces on the fold like Jenn does. Good luck and thanks again!
I plan to do it in the next weeks, i read this and I thank you. I tried shirring before but i think I got the wrong type of elastic and the dimension reduced more than 2 times, i was unlucky even if I did test before.
I'm about to try make this dress. I'm 5'10 and roughly size 14 top 12 bottom but long bodied. How long would you make the top part? Also do you still think 3 metres is enough for me please? I love the shirred floaty look. Thank you 😊
I just found your account 1week ago and it ended up with 10m of new fabric and 3 new dresses :) I love your videos, they are explained perferctly, even for me as a beginner :)
I love the "precise/comprehensible" measurement instructions!: 'measure the top rectangle, X = 1.5 xs Bust Measurement!" That's 'Univeral Math/Algebra!" Thank you! I *will* be making/sewing this dress!
That's kind of my plan. I've a double sided patchwork quilt cover one side is plain. Will cut into panels. Although it's just cotton not linen. Linen is expensive in the UK. I hope mine turns out. How dis yours work?
Thank you so much for this video and all your DIY videos, your designs are amazing and your instructions so clear, it make it so easy! Can't wait for your next tutorials! 💕😃
Simple yet adorable! I love how the dress turns out and the prints of the fabric give a summer vibes. Always in love with your DIY projects. Keep inspiring through your creation, Jess!
I can not wait to start this project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate that you explain how to make the pattern in every video I've seen so far.
All of your projects are amazing! Thank you! I am so inspired, and I'm gonna try several of your projects. I can't thank you enough for these informative and clear videos!!
Me scrolling through the comments to see if anyone put the instructions in words. PS. Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm really looking into trying it! I really want to get into the fashion industry when I'm older. (I'm 12. ) so i think its time for me to learn. One like=1 hour of practice
It's great to know what you want to do and try to learn it. I believe you can do it when you get older. Start with the small thing firs. But do it with lot of time to make it perfectly in the way you think the best. Then you'll get the skill you need for the future :)
hello! i will be trying to do this with a crepe fabric and your tutorial by far was the most straightforward and easy on youtube! thanks for the video! stay safe!
You are such a Sweetie. Your dresses are fantastic. I am going to try them all. Fingers crossed I will succeed. Big kiss from NZ and thanks for your time 😊
I absolutely love your summer dress!! Your tutorial was awesome! short and to the point! I had no idea shirring on a sewing machine was that easy!! Thank you for sharing this and keep them coming. Your dress looks adorable on you!!
Followed this tutorial for my first handmade dress and it came out wonderfully! The only thing I would change is to sew the top to the skirt portion before shirring because I struggled with stretching the top part to match the skirt. That might just be because I'm new to sewing though. When making the frill for the skirt tiers, mark the skirt tiers in eighths, and after making the frill match up those markings! It helps to ensure the frills are even around.
I wanted to do a shirred dress for my sister and was looking for a good model of skirt among your videos until I found this tutorial. It's the exact model that she wanted so i'm gonna try doing it... Thank you so much for your videos, I love the clothes you create and the fact that we can make it without pattern ! ♥
Stunning dress! I've just gotten into sewing, will make this for summer - thank you for the inspiration, and the video is of really great production quality!
Jess i‘ve been following your channel for a long time (since you had about 20k subs) and it was so exciting to see it grow. I love your DIYs and how simple and clear your instructions are. You are a true inspiration! Keep up the good work 🌸🌸🌸
I love it! 💖 It looks stunning! I have a couple of meters of a fabric I've been saving for a special design, and seems this is the dress I want to make with that fabric! Thank you for sharing this tutorial! Stay safe 💕✨
This tutorial is amazing! I made this dress and it turned out so great, I'm really happy!! Thank you for explaining all the steps so well and for giving us this wonderful inspiration! This is the first real dress i ever made and i couldn't be happier with the result :)
Hello Jess, thank you so much for this amazing tutorial ! It was rather easy to follow and the dress is so pretty 🥰 my mom was so impressed hahaha. I can’t wait to sew something else thanks to your videos 💞
Thank you for this video! 💖 I’ve made this dress yesterday, and I’m so happy with the result! I decided to make it with a stiffer cotton fabric, because I wanted a dress with a bit more ‘drama’. It was a bit difficult using the cotton, but it worked out in the end! Thank you again for these clear directions ☺️
Who else thinks the fabric is soo stunningly appealing🌹🌺
Meeee
YES
y-e-s YES

Jess always seems to find the cutest fabrics! I want to go shopping with her 😎

O yeah and make sure to try the shirring on a scrap piece first! :)
Wow, thank you for a very detail feedback. It would help others a lot
I plan to do it in the next weeks, i read this and I thank you. I tried shirring before but i think I got the wrong type of elastic and the dimension reduced more than 2 times, i was unlucky even if I did test before.
