Cara, first of all….your hair looks fabulous. And as usual I loved everything you’ve made. The fabric choices are divine. You did not look washed out at all in the first dress you had on. You looked great in it. ❤
I think all those fabrics look amazing on you! Not washed out at all! Oh I think I need that Transat dress?? Absolutely stunning in “that” fabric… mine is destined to be a Fringe ❤
Thank you Rachel, can’t wait to see your fringe dress, I was watching your vlog this morning, love the new colour scheme and branding, that hoodie pattern is amazing, I must look that up!
To me, those colors look fabulous on you. I Just LOVE your dress. I made a shirt last week and my husband loved it, I showed him a wrinkle I couldn't get out. He told me I am so critical about my sewing and that he would have never noticed anything but a beautiful blouse. I hope you wear your lovely dress. Cheers!
Oh my word, all of your dresses are gorgeous! Love the design details included in Maison Fauve patterns. I’m looking forward to seeing more new makes. Happy sewing, Cara and give Ali boo a cuddle from me.
All the dresses look super on you Cara. Thank you for the information about how relatively straight forward they are to sew. I am inspired to try the Transat dress. 😀
Your daiquiri dresses are absolutely gorgeous. As for the Cuba Libre - I've just ordered the pattern on your recommendation. Strangely I just got a black and white print viscose and was looking for a pattern for it and this just fits the bill perfectly. Thank you
I don't think the daiquiri dress that your wearing washes you out at all. I think it's because you've got the darker part of the fabric near to your neck and face. I think you look lovely in it.
Love your dresses and yes to embracing the selvedge !! I’m being v frugal with my fabrics and using every bit of it and that means many of my items have the selvedges .
The rainbow fields dress fabric (with the green, pink, and purples) is definitely your colors! You should wear cool colors (no yellow). Gray or gray heathered would also tie in with your hair (I don't mean that as an insult!)
Love the daiquiri dress on you and it does not wash you out. I think if you had some gloss over the lipstick it would further enhance whatyou’re wearing. The black-and-white dress is very striking.
Lovely. I like the first dress with your glasses. All of the items you made are beautiful. You and I have in common that I also sew and my husband is also a cyclist. :-)
Hi. Cara, what beautiful dresses. I love Maison Fauvre patterns and love your videos, they tempt and inspire me to make more. I am off to buy the Cuba Libra pattern but I will need to raise the v neck. Thanks for another great video x
Love your dresses Cara all look beautiful the green is my favourite you could do some top stitching down the selvage so it looks like button band and then sew buttons onto it, just a thought x
You look fantastic in the dresses and I absolutely adore your haircut/color. By the way, you can tell youve lost weight but you dont look like you need to lose any more (imho).You look amazing!
Hi looks amazing on you. Love their patterns too after watching your chats. Have got this pattern love it!!! Made the Pilar jacket too. Thankyou again.😊
Gorgeous dresses, they all look perfect on you. As a fellow larger busted person, can I please ask if you do full bust adjustments on these three patterns? I’m a DD/E cup (in sewing, J in bras) so am always thinking about FBAs!
I love the black and white dress best. There seems to be a weight loss epidemic amongst sewists in the Uk! Is it contagious? BTW I am spending my holidays in the Vendée at the moment, and the sun is shining. Can it get any better?
Such beautiful pattern envelopes! I am a PDF pattern till I die person (I use a projector and have NO time or desire to use paper again), but have to say those look so special, they are a thing of beauty. And I think you're the inspiration for one of the covers? The drawing has grey short hair! IT HAS to be you!
lol thank you for the thought! That’s very kind, I love a pdf too, but these patterns are heavenly, they will be released as pdfs at some point in the future, normally about 18 months after initial launch x
hi Cara, can I just say how fabulous you are looking, and your dress does not wash you out at all, I love all your dresses, I have the transat, not made it yet, can we get the cubra libre dress in paper form in the uk yet? xx
You look amazing in all three dresses and I might just give two of them a go! Eek. Can I just ask, the last one, the Transat, could that be made/worn without the belt? So like a loose shift? Waisted dresses look awful on me due to an unwanted muffin!x
I would love to make them but the pdf pattern is $25.00 usd add in a meter of that gorgeous reddish fabric and it’s over 50.00. That’s a bit steep for a pattern and out of my budget. You look fabulous in them!!
Bonjour, vos tissus sont magnifiques ❤ et votre couture est superbe, bravo j’adore vos robes elles vous vont très bien c’est votre style et aussi le pantalon large est super ! Oui vous voici prête pour l’été 👍 bravo moi je suis en retard 😅
I had to change the colours that I wear when I grew out my grey hair, the first dress is beautiful but the wrong colour. We need cool colours when grey.
I had my colors done in the ‘80s, and it was the best money I ever spent. I used to sew everything in soft, heathered summer colors that washed me out. Friends thought I didn’t wear any makeup when I wore everything! I’m a winter and when I wore the right colors, even strangers complimented me.
As soon as you said that you felt the colour washed you out I replied (yes, out loud because that’s how I roll) well go strawberry blonde then! lol, my subconscious mind is connected directly to my mouth, bypassing my brain… it happens a lot but actually it’s right more often than not 🤣. So if you fancy a change 😉, thank me later 🤣😂🤣😂 x
That’s very kind of you, I’m now pretty much at target weight, my husband and I just wanted to refocus on what we eat and weight loss has been part of that
Thank you Cara, these patterns are easy to sew and your explanations are very clear ! As you said it, these are the perfect Summer dresses :D
They sure are! I thoroughly enjoy wearing them and helping to inspire others to sew, thank you, I just need some sunshine ☀️
I think the colors you are wearing look beautiful on you!!! They are warm and lovely on your skin tone!
Thank you so much, it’s lovely to hear from you
Cara, first of all….your hair looks fabulous. And as usual I loved everything you’ve made. The fabric choices are divine. You did not look washed out at all in the first dress you had on. You looked great in it. ❤
Ah you are so lovely, good for my soul! Thank you
Truly lovely dresses. I think the pleats on the first dress looked better when you switched the way the pleats were sewn. Hello from Texas!
Gosh hi from Texas, wow that’s amazing, lovely to hear from you
I think all those fabrics look amazing on you! Not washed out at all! Oh I think I need that Transat dress?? Absolutely stunning in “that” fabric… mine is destined to be a Fringe ❤
Thank you Rachel, can’t wait to see your fringe dress, I was watching your vlog this morning, love the new colour scheme and branding, that hoodie pattern is amazing, I must look that up!

Thank you so much! I’ve decided to embrace the dress and I’m wearing it today 😊 it’s so lovely to hear from you
Oh my word, all of your dresses are gorgeous! Love the design details included in Maison Fauve patterns. I’m looking forward to seeing more new makes. Happy sewing, Cara and give Ali boo a cuddle from me.
Thank you so much Laura ill definitely give Ali boo a hug from you xx
Wow, Cara...these are all just fabulous! I can see why that last fabric sold out -- what a gorgeous colour combo. Brava!
Thank you so much! That’s very kind, How are you? I hope you’re keeping well. What are you sewing at the moment?
@@sosewmad I’m currently finishing up a swimsuit and hoping to get back to filming soon! Hope you’re having a lovely summer. 🤗
All the dresses look super on you Cara. Thank you for the information about how relatively straight forward they are to sew. I am inspired to try the Transat dress. 😀
Go for it! I’m looking forward to making more x
Very sophisticated dress on you!!
Thank you very much it’s lovely to hear from you
Loved the second dress on you. That was a great colour choice!
That’s very kind, I absolutely love it
Great dresses, that I think might even suit my short plus sized figure. Love the second one
They are truly beautiful patterns, it’s lovely to hear from you
Your daiquiri dresses are absolutely gorgeous. As for the Cuba Libre - I've just ordered the pattern on your recommendation. Strangely I just got a black and white print viscose and was looking for a pattern for it and this just fits the bill perfectly. Thank you
Ooo that sounds absolutely perfect! You’ll love it ❤️
I think your dress is beautiful and it doesn’t wash you out . I love the fabric and the color you’ve chosen.!
Thank you so much, it’s lovely to hear from you I really appreciate it
I think it looks lovely ,put plenty of gold on , necklace and earrings and sparkle away 👍
Ooo that’s a lovely idea thank you
I don't think the daiquiri dress that your wearing washes you out at all. I think it's because you've got the darker part of the fabric near to your neck and face. I think you look lovely in it.
Thank you. It’s strange, watching it back I actually really like it 😅
You could use small pieces of selvedge to create bra straps, too.
Yes that’s a great plan
Does not wash you out. Perfection
That’s so lovely of you thank you
Love multi colored dress!!!❤
Thank you so much
Beautiful dresses Cara ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Love your dresses and yes to embracing the selvedge !! I’m being v frugal with my fabrics and using every bit of it and that means many of my items have the selvedges .
Thank you, I think it’s pretty, luckily a useable selvedge!
Absolutely gorgeous dresses ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Beautiful fabrics into beautiful makes. Thank you for sharing.
That’s very kind of you thank you
Cara, your Daquiri dress is absolutely stunning. i love the fabric and details on the dress.
Thank you Linda I really appreciate that x
The rainbow fields dress fabric (with the green, pink, and purples) is definitely your colors! You should wear cool colors (no yellow). Gray or gray heathered would also tie in with your hair (I don't mean that as an insult!)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
I love your dresses and I’m tempted to make both the Transat and the Daquiri. You really suit the green cotton.
Thank you so much, honestly go for it, they are amazing!
Gorgeous, as always! No zippers or buttonholes. Perfection! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know! Genius ❤️❤️❤️
Love your dresses! You are such a prolific sewist, I wish I could be half as productive. I want to buy the Cuba Libre
Ooo go for it! It’s an amazing pattern, so simple but so stylish.im not certain why I can sew so quickly, but I love it ❤️
Lovely. I like the first dress with your glasses. All of the items you made are beautiful. You and I have in common that I also sew and my husband is also a cyclist. :-)
Thank you, it’s lovely to hear from you, ah a fellow cycling wifey, it’s lovely that we have hobbies x

You look beautiful in those colors❤ The green dress is stunning ❤ Gorgeous...the 2nd pattern.
Thank you so much that’s very kind of you, lovely to hear from you
Gorgeous dresses, they all look perfect on you. As a fellow larger busted person, can I please ask if you do full bust adjustments on these three patterns? I’m a DD/E cup (in sewing, J in bras) so am always thinking about FBAs!
Ooo that’s a great question and I’m sorry I didn’t mention it, no I didn’t and I’m a 34 F they all fit like a dream!
Your dresses are lovely and the vee necks look fabulous on you , because you have a wonderful frontelage😆
lol thank you! It’s so lovely to hear from you
I love the black and white dress best. There seems to be a weight loss epidemic amongst sewists in the Uk! Is it contagious?
BTW I am spending my holidays in the Vendée at the moment, and the sun is shining. Can it get any better?
I’m super jealous of you being in the Vendee! Have a wonderful time, yes it’s true lots of us are loosing weight 😅

Thank you Nicky I really appreciate that
So sew glad I found you!! I’m off to buy these patterns for my holiday in Thailand ❤❤❤
They will be perfect! Lovely to have you here xx
Love all your dress Cara I’ve made 2 Daiquiri dresses and 2 blouses just love them, about to order the Transat dress just love your version 🥰💕🤩
Ooo that sounds very exciting! A fellow addict here too!
hi Cara, can I just say how fabulous you are looking, and your dress does not wash you out at all, I love all your dresses, I have the transat, not made it yet, can we get the cubra libre dress in paper form in the uk yet? xx
That’s very kind thank you, yes the fold line have the Cuba libre in stock, it’s lovely to hear from you
Love all your dresses. I have to have these patterns. I also have some of the teal jacquard fabric. Lovely.
Thank you for your lovely words, whats your plan for the teal fabric?
@@sosewmad Sorry it took a while to reply. I thought the Soliflore dress from Maison Fauve might be nice
@jeanettespracklen5777 absolutely one of my favourites!
You wear each dress so beautifully! Not everyone can carry off the styles and fabrics that you wear so easily. Lovely!
That’s very kind of you, what a lovely thing to say 😊❤️
With the green dress, could you repeat the cut out with paint? A shade of gray (experiment for good camouflage match) fill in the area in the back?
That’s an amazing suggestion thank you, I’m embracing the selvedge for now, but love your suggestion x
I love the patterns. Been buying her patterns few years now. But don’t have these. I feel a shopping spree coming on.
Oooo exciting! Go for it, they are amazing xx
You look amazing in all three dresses and I might just give two of them a go! Eek. Can I just ask, the last one, the Transat, could that be made/worn without the belt? So like a loose shift? Waisted dresses look awful on me due to an unwanted muffin!x
Hiya, yes you could opt to not see the side belts and if you wanted to you could taper the sides in, very straight forward x
@@sosewmad perfect! Going to buy this one and the daiquiri - thank you for being so inspirational x
Could you sew a row of contrasting buttons down the back of the green eyelet dress?
Ah good idea thanks
Put some more blush on, it looks fab on you❤
Ok, thank you ❤️
Maybe you can share ur measurements? You made all maison fauve dresses in 42 size? I am still trying to decide the size of the cuba libre!😊
No problem I do periodically, the Maison Fauve sizes are very true to size using their chart x
@@sosewmad they are quite detailed but they dont share hip finished measurements. This is where I am struggling.
I would love to make them but the pdf pattern is $25.00 usd add in a meter of that gorgeous reddish fabric and it’s over 50.00. That’s a bit steep for a pattern and out of my budget. You look fabulous in them!!
It’s such a beautiful design and creatitvity from a bespoke company in France, just heavenly
Hi Cara (I hope I spelled your name right), The dress you are wearing does look very comfortable and flattering.❤
That’s so kind, yes Cara, thank you so much, that means a lot to me x
I adore the Cubra Libre dress! Is it possible to alter the neckline so it is higher? I don’t like my v neck so low.
Hi yes I believe you would be able to redraft the v to make it higher, it’s an amazing pattern isn’t it!
Love that Cuba Libre Dress, so flattering. ❤
Thank you Emma it’s such a lovely pattern
Lovely dresses Cara, especially the v necked ones, unfortunately for me I would have to make the v much smaller otherwise would not be a pretty sight😂
Thank you, it’s lovely to hear from you
Bonjour, vos tissus sont magnifiques ❤ et votre couture est superbe, bravo j’adore vos robes elles vous vont très bien c’est votre style et aussi le pantalon large est super ! Oui vous voici prête pour l’été 👍 bravo moi je suis en retard 😅
Thank you so much, it’s lovely to hear from you
@@sosewmadmerci beaucoup
Hi where did you get that material from I love the colors
Thank you, lots of different places but the the pink door and lady McElroy
I had to change the colours that I wear when I grew out my grey hair, the first dress is beautiful but the wrong colour. We need cool colours when grey.
Great advice, thank you!

The seagulls were stealing the show😂.
lol they’ll be asking for royalties 😅
It looks like your second version (of the first dress!) Is a bias facing rather than a binding? 😊
Yes that’s right on the top I have used the facing pieces for the arm holes but a bias binding for the neckline
Just put "keepers" at the shoulders to keep in place
Thank you I’ve not heard of that before?
The daiquiri dress is good on you the burgundy is at your face and picks up your color.
That’s so kind of you, I’ve worn it today and love it 🥰
I like the dress on you.
Thank you so much, it’s lovely to hear from you xx
When you present the patterns, perhaps you could leave them in view a little bit longer. Or put a video index on those parts.
Ok thanks
As soon as you said that you felt the colour washed you out I replied (yes, out loud because that’s how I roll) well go strawberry blonde then! lol, my subconscious mind is connected directly to my mouth, bypassing my brain… it happens a lot but actually it’s right more often than not 🤣. So if you fancy a change 😉, thank me later 🤣😂🤣😂 x
Thank you! It’s lovely to hear from you
Pockets please
These could definitely be added 😊
👏🏻👗
Thank you so much ☺️
As you were speaking about this dress, I thought that the colors were all wrong. Your beautiful hey hair needs black, whites, and tru brights.
Thank you
🧵✨
Thank you ❤️
Are you trying to lose weight? You look beautiful the way you are
That’s very kind of you, I’m now pretty much at target weight, my husband and I just wanted to refocus on what we eat and weight loss has been part of that
