Anita I stopped in the middle of this video and bought the pattern. You are such a “bad influence”. You have become my sewing muse my friend.
Donna!!! 🤣😂🤣 You've got me screaming!!! I LOVE it! You've got me smiling from my heart, SEW Sister! Have fun sewing your dress!
Lovely Anita!! This dress looks better on you than the model on the pattern
You actually "pair" this dress extremely well. I wouldn't change a thing!
Love the logo on the t shirt Amen!
Love what your shirts saying . So true for myself, also
I LOVE how the necklaces and the zipper compliment each other. Zipper jewelry :). Nice versatile dress!
Yeeesss! "Zipper Jewelry!" I love how the necklaces complimented the zipper too. I'm gonna get so much wear from this dress.
As always you and your dress are gorgeous. Love your different ways to style the dress. God Bless.
Thank you so much! God bless you too. 💕
SEE! You can still cover yourself up and still look attractive. Nice fashion show; love all the styles from one dress. God has blessed you with talent and may God continue to bless you. I'm subscribing! 😃😁🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
Love the dress, love your styling and you are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you so much!
So many of the women in my family are seamstress that I decided to give into my God given talent and join them! Yesterday I picked up my Singer 4452 and started watching UA-cam videos. I'm SO glad I found your channel. You are THE most clear, informative and thorough instructor I've found. New subscriber here 😉. Blessings
Yaaayyy, Kimberly! Welcome to the sewing community! Oh my goodness! Your family must be dancing and singing about you joining them. Oooohhh, how I wish my sisters would sew. What a beautiful gift you have. I'm so glad to have you join me here. I hope you will enjoy your time on the channel. Blessings to you too, SEW Sister! 💕
I love ALL the different ways you put this dress together. You are so talented. I am just getting back into garment sewing after (life happens!) being away for 40 years! You inspire me. Thank you!
Awesome! Welcome back to sewing.
I have done the same, recently.
I love this dress. I’ve made it twice already. I eliminated the zipper even though the zipper makes the dress. I’ve never put in a exposed zipper before and didn’t want to mess it up. I am determined to make it with the zipper once I’ve watched more videos on how to insert the zipper. Thanks for the video! 👗🧵🪡🥰
Oh yes, Sharon! You must try it with the zipper.
You are so correct, sewing inspiration can be found anywhere... I once found it on the moss of a tree (seriously).😊 That dress is a timeless classic, and I love your t-shirt. I feel exactly the same way...JESUS and a sewing machine!
This is beautiful. Thank you for your instructions.
You are so welcome!
Loved this pattern. I’m going to make three; one for me, my daughter and my granddaughter. It would look great with a crop or long sleeveless vest. I’ve been sewing since I was a young teenager and now I’m an old lady and my love of sewing has never wavered even when it’s popularity changed. I’ve sewn for my children, grandchildren and strangers. Your videos help to bring back a skill that I thought was going to fall by the wayside for young ladies, who never even learned to sew on a button. Thanks
Oh Nona, you just made my heart smile. Wow! You've done a lot of sewing. After I came back from a long break from sewing to raise my family, I was shocked to see so many people sewing through online communities. I'm thrilled that the internet provides opportunity for people to learn sewing from anywhere. Thank you so much for being here and leaving a comment.
Love this but would have to wear some serious shapewear. I’m 76 and have quite a big tummy
Beautiful dress, so versatile. You look wonderful in it. One lady said your videos are such a bad influence, she goes and buys the pattern mid way through to make what you are showing. I’m afraid I will be doing the same thing! Thank you for your videos and your time!!
You are very welcome. Have fun making your dress.
oh mercy, you rock that dress. This could be the one dress wonder!
"The one dress wonder!" 😂 YES! I love it! 💕
You are soooo inspiring. Thank you for what you are doing for those of us who are a bit intimidated by sewing.
You are so welcome, and it is my pleasure. I really enjoy sharing.
You are one lovely, sassy, classy chic (Sew Sister)! I liked ALL the looks! Be blessed.😃👍🏽👌🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much! You be blessed too.
Dear Anita, you have done it again perfect shoes and boots for this sofisticated dress, no tips needed. I think it would also adapt to a pencil skirt.
Ooooohhhh, YES! I would love this as a pencil skirt. Great idea!
Oh my. This dress looks great on you. It reminds me of my favorite top I had in junior high. 😍
Love this! I recently found your channel. I used to sew dresses for my daughter when she was young. I stopped when she got older. I never sewed for myself. The thought of all the adjustments seemed too daunting. About 2 years ago I pulled out the machine and started making quilts inspired by my Aunt and dresses for my granddaughters. I'm just now reconsidering making clothes for myself now that the rust is off (lol, it's been 10+ yrs). I've got one of your sew-alongs on my list for 2022. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yaaayyy! I'm so happy to hear you're planning to sew something for yourself. Have fun and please come back and tell me how it went.
Love, love all the styles! You are an inspiration and I review your older UA-cam lessons ALL the time❣️
Awesome! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support. 💕
Oh wow.....that is a hot dress!
That was fun! Your pageant days are still paying off 😁 This makes me want to sew knits
Amy!!!!! Thank you so much. OMGosh! You remember that I did pageants??? That's just awesome! Thank you so much for being here, my SEW Sister! You just made my whole heart smile. 💕💕💕
I saw ur shirt and knew I wanted to see your site, WOW I was very impressed 👍,
Oh, thank you so much. I'm so glad you stopped by to visit with me. Please come back again. 💕
VERY PRETTY, Anita! Thank You!😀
It so cute!!
I just purchased the pattern yesterday. I love the leopard scarf vest combination. I’ve been neglecting my page because I got so involved with yours. ☺️ Thanks for being awesome.
Yaaayyy! I'm so glad you purchased the pattern. OMGoodness, I thought the scarf vest was cute too. Okay, you just made me laugh so hard about neglecting your page 🤣😂🤣 Well, I'm taking that as a compliment. Thank you, my sister! 💕
Wow, you look wonderful. You are such a inspiration for me, I thank you a lot!
Love and kisses from Berlin/ Germany👍💖

That dress looks so..... sharp. Thank you, thank you for demonstrating how you can orient a favorite fabric to determine if there's enough stretch for the pattern. Loved the fashion show!
You are so welcome!
I made this with a camo jersey and love it! Very flattering dress!
Ooooohhhhh!!!!! Shirley, that sounds amazing!!! I just purchase a tan rib knit to make another one. It's a great dress.
Love your T-shirt! I want one.
It looks stunning on you! Thanks for the walk through on the pattern, especially the part about the zipper length. Love your channel!
You're very welcome, Andrea! I'm glad you found this to be helpful.
Very well done! Explained completely ❣️
Glad you liked it!!
lm so glad you made this dress. I purchased this pattern last summer and had not made it, but this looks great on you. I'l hoping for the same results. Now I can't wait to pick out my fabric. Thank you Anita.
You are so welcome! It's a great pattern. Have fun sewing your dress.
I just love you and I love your shirt! You explain things so wonderfully and model them so well!
Bonnie!!! Oh, thank you so much. I'm very happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos.
Anita, you just make me smile! I’m so glad you took on this pattern! I put mine away after I installed the too short recommended zipper and then ripped it back out! It is still in the bottom of my sewing bag! I temporarily gave up on it, and probably never would have finished it, but ran into your review and tutorial today! You have given me the sewjo to return to it!
Of course it looks fabulous on you, as even a paper sack would! I love your patience and style of teaching. When your hands are shown in the videos, I find myself thinking God Bless those hands! Your book is great, and I have it in my sewing room for inspiration!❤️
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Have fun getting back into your sewing.
love your tshirt😀
Girl!!! You are working that dress!!!! Ya Look Good. This will be my go fly dress. When I fly I try to wear something easy and comfortable. Thanks!
Oh my gosh, YES! This would be a great dress to fly in because it is super comfortable.💕
Beautiful and classy lady. You did a fabulous job. Love all your accessories… you look wonderful
Thank you so much!
That dress is fabulous. It could be styled with a bolero jacket. A vest could be worn with it.
Yes, great styling options. I like it.
