- I am sharing a review on the Lyric dress and peplum (Love Notions), fit adjustments and how to sew the neckline with bias binding that is not seen on the outside for a clean finish. I am also showing some buttonhole tips and also on hemming both garments. You can see them on too!
The Lyric dress/peplum has all the options you need to make it your own. A fitted bodice with cup sizes A-D and a flattering V neckline. Flared or gathered skirt with optional pockets and 6 sleeve options. My two sleeveless Lyrics will be on heavy rotation!

It never occurred to me to use a slightly smaller button in the button foot gauge in order to have a more secure fitting. Great idea Katrina.
Love the Rhapsody on you!, I loved the style in a top but looks fabulous in the dress length.
Very pretty! Red is your super colour!
Is it. I feel amazing in red. Thank you so much 😊
Your garments are lovely and very becoming. You've awesome sewing skills.
Your garments are very flattering. Your excitement, your phenomenal sewing skills, and good taste for style, fabric drape, and color make you a true winner!! 👗😍💖
Thank you so much 😊. So many compliments, I’m honored. I truly love what I do. I’m glad it shows.
Very flattering on you! Love ALL your videos. This pattern is too small for me, but I still enjoyed seeing it made.
It will have a sizing update in June :)
Thank you for the visual. Bias tape construction so clear. Nice fabrics.
Thank you so much. Bias tape has its needs.
I don’t think that I’ve ever understitched the bias binding on the sleeves and necklines! It’s the little things that make the difference. The top and dress are amazing on you. Another pattern I have to add to my collection. YAY!
If you look at RTW with bias binding, you’ll se the under Stitch and the top stitch. For many years, studying how RTW was made, was my actual sewing school. I hope you like the pattern, it’s very feminine.
I LOVE topstitching but I’ll add the understitching. I’m the benefactor of your RTW sewing school (amongst others)! I bought the pattern from your link. It’s in the queue!
love your work, thanks for sharing, it's very kind of you
My pleasure!
Your face just glows with your pretty dress! It looks like a great summer dress and your top is very nice with your denim skirt
I enjoyed my dress this weekend and felt amazing. Thanks for watching 😊.
You do get your makes to fit you really well. The fabric also drapes so well. My hubby is threatening to stop me watching your vlogs coz I want to buy all the patterns! Lol This is a battle he will NOT win.....😁
That is so funny about your husband. Fit for me is paramount and I have a pretty high standard. Saying that, fitting Love Notions has been easy for me. All I usually do is drop the bust dart and lengthen skirts/bodices a tad because I’m taller.
Only joking. He’s brilliant about my sewing and even bought me a super machine. He says it keeps me quiet and out of his hair! Lol
Hilarious. Mine goes by the Indian saying “happy wife, happy life” 😁
Wow!!! Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to film the process. It was so clear and precise. Great Job!!!
I’m glad you liked it. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Yay, I just got the Lyric on sale *again*, ha ha! I guess the sales are fairly cyclical. Anyway, I hoped you'd have a video, Karina, and it even looks like there's 2! Yes, after getting back into sewing more the last few years I am getting a touch bored with knit fabrics-- just in the sense that they don't look classic. This dress is SO classic! Super excited to make my muslin very soon, I hope. I love all your tips. I sure don't need to sew *more* (too many makes already!) But what I sew from now on I want to be really carefully done. All the understitching and topstitching, yes, please!! ❤😊
Beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊
I know this is an older vlog, but I went looking for it specially. I'm cutting my first ever Lyric peplum top and I knew your attention to detail and practical guidance would give me confidence - I wasn't wrong. Thank you Karina!
Just catching up with all your videos - that was a great pattern to sew😊
Great makes... they look amazing on you! Great job and thanks for sharing your tips
Thanks for watching 😊.
Gorgeous!😊
Thank you so much 😊
Oh wow this dress is stunning! I agree that a fitted bodice and a v neck are the best element to a woven top! I gravitate more around woven that before!
The nicer fabrics are usually wovens and the drape.... V necklines are simply the best. I absolutely love my dress and top. Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely beautiful top and dress. The fit is just perfect 😊. Love it!
Love them both! Super flattering, and feminine.
I can’t get enough of these!
Great to see how happy you are with these makes. And right you are! Really flattering and beautifully made. Tempted. Midi version of the dress could be perfect summer dress for me...
You could look at all the tester photos. The midi length is the most popular one. I always find it looks better on others but not me for some reason. Thank you so much for watching. I’m very happy with my new garments.
So sweet!
What gorgeous pieces Karina!! I they look beautiful on you! I love, love, love V necklines!! You always do so well with your projects!
A V neckline is always a win, so flattering. I’m all about a well fitting woven dress :) thank you so much 😊
Just beautiful
Dear Karina, you look very elegant with this design. Meticoulous work, as always, I admire your love of sewing and hope to be inspired and make similar blouses for myself... Happy sewing...
Thank you so much. It is a passion and a love for this type of art.
Love it! The perfect holy grail pattern. I've just ordered it through your link and can't wait to make it.
All the best! I hope you love it as much as I do 😊
Karina, it's almost as if Love Notions designed this pattern with you in mind-both the top & dress are gorgeous on you! The red crepe is such a lovely colour and the tropical fabric-wow! Great construction tips-as always. I've used your method to lower bust darts and would love some tips on shortening darts-could you possibly demonstrate your method? Thanks for sharing this fab pattern! 😊
I know right?! Tami just jammed pack all the best features into a pattern: V neck, buttons, darts and all the options. About shortening the dart, I’ll show it soon. Thank you so much 😊
So flattering, love the V neck. The dress is great too. You do such beautiful work.
Thank you so much 😊
What a great pattern, and as always you did a fantastic job. It's nice to see a very feminine pattern without ruffles and frills. (Sorry all of the ruffle lovers out there). A nice classic that doesn't really go out of style. The crepe isn't hot in your climate?
Hello, I’m a proud frills and ruffles disliker 😂, hence the absence of those in my makes. I agree, this is a classic design and timeless. The crepe is not hot for me. I’m mostly in air conditioned areas. The weather now is becoming nice in autumn 🍂. Thanks for watching 😊.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I've always liked your style and have never ever been a ruffler. I think on a bridesmaids dress once and it was sheer torture.
Oh I’d feel so bad about myself if I had to wear a dress I had no control of. I feel for you.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles That's the problem with weddings. You have no say in what the bride thinks is the 'look' for her special day. It was the early 70's, pink and white checked gingham and I remember standing there at the alter thinking to myself..:This marriage is not going to last' and they got divorced 18 months later. Thanks for the chat and that silly memory.
I love both! I don't wear dresses anymore but tops - I love the loose fit around the hips. You did a great job on both.
Thank you so much 😊. Tops definitely get more wear and that’s why I made a solid red one too.
Gorgeous :) so tempted, I just worry that it will look like a sack on me ! I feel that about all dresses though :(
Believe me, there’s no sack quality to this dress with all the darts. I tend to feel a bit sack-like in a midi length though. At the end of the day, it’s all about how we feel isn’t it? I’m super happy with both 😊
Karina it's a lovely top and dress, perfect fit and flair style without being overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your trick of using a button slightly smaller to ensure right sized button holes. How do you attached your buttons; by hand or by machine?
Thank you so much 😊. I do my buttons old school: by hand. I don’t have the foot to do it by machine and I’d rather match them exactly to my buttonholes one by one.
$5 on sale today 6/10/2022!
Thank you for this! How wide do you make your bias strips for these dresses/tops?
I use the bias tape maker with an 18 on the back. It turns out a tad smaller than 3/4”
I just bought this pattern today on Love Notions' huge sale! So excited because it looks so versatile! I am going to try to lengthen the bodice to make a straight (without peplum) shirt. Do you think that will work?
You’d need to adapt it quite a lot actually, to get it to fit your hips. I did something similar with the Sonata dress. You can see it here and apply the same Concept : ua-cam.com/video/Qphfuk-0_5A/v-deo.html
