omg....i luv u...i could watch u all day....i am new to sewing..after i had a nervous breakdown ..and i found you to be very easy to not only follow..but understand what u are doing...
OMG!!! Thank you for all the diy tutorials I have to say I am not a good/ great sewer,( high school home economic skill level, lol) but I've been trying your Diys while improving my sewing skills and now some of your patterns, you make it so much easier to grasp. could there be a chance for a maxi skirt with a long split, or a tutorial on working with chiffon .
I agree about sizing. I'm generally on the cusp of the size split on many patterns, so if I need to go up or down a size afterwards, it can be a challenge. I can't open the pattern in the middle of the store to check the finished measurements. So far, I've done ok.
Bri Woods My fashion school professor always says you're supposed to open the pattern envolpe in the store. That's exactly why they never seal the envolpes. This way you can check to see if the pattern instructions are too complicated. If you're searching for ease it's on the back of the envolpe so you can check the garment's finished measurements before buying.
Hi Mimi G, love love love your videos, can't wait for each one to come out. Just wondering if you could do a video on how to buy a pattern for ones size. I'm never sure what size to buy...help please.....
moonglow1948 -- I literally once asked the local Joann's store if I could try on their sample dress. Got a slightly odd look, but they let me. Based on the envelope I'd be different measurements for bust, thighs, and hips! But turns out I'm a size 10 in Simplicity nonetheless.
I love this dress but the only problem is that we hardly ever get patterns to buy in my country. We usually make our own patterns. But this dress is beautiful & your explanations exquisite. Blessings to you.
Hi you are so talented .... I love your sawing ...... can you please tell me were can I get those patterns from??? I live in Palau can I order them.............. Please let me no Im waiting for your reply
I'm currently trying to sew this dress, and for some reason my #3 is way shorter than my #1. I'm making a size 18 dress and cut all my patterns accordingly. I'm getting really frustrated, can you help?
I also noticed that you didn’t STAY-STITCH the skirt pieces (4), (5), or (6). Is there a reason for this? And how crucial is it that am suppose to do it, if you, Mimi, do not?
Hi, Mimi. I noticed that you didn’t do the 1st step in the direction sheet which was: 1. EASE-STITCH front edge of right bodice front (1) between notches. Why skip this step? And how necessary is it that I follow this step? And, why didn't you? Is there any particular reason?
Maybe I am loosing it but the instructions never stated to cut the fabric on the right side for any pieces and yet it looks as if you cut it different. Now I have cut up fabric that I messed up. 😒
Vestido hermoso, hermoso, gracias, bella.❤❤❤
This is so excellent. Top notch! I thought it makes it really easy to see and understand when the wrong side of the fabric is white.
omg....i luv u...i could watch u all day....i am new to sewing..after i had a nervous breakdown ..and i found you to be very easy to not only follow..but understand what u are doing...

New Look 6627 offers this as a 2-piece set with a pencil skirt, which may be versatile with other garments.

Bri Woods Look under "Garment Measurements" for ease (size of the completed garment)

Why didn't you show the dress being modeled?After all the help it was strange not to see the finished garment worn.
Hello, Love this dress but do you have the sewing tutorials for the maxi dress for this pattern that I saw on pinterest. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie yes go to MIMIG pinterest page and click on visit it is Simplicity pattern 8123. I hope this help you!
How do you keep the fabric straight when it's going under the foot?
Thank you for placing the camera closer to the sewing machine.
I’m from New Zealand and I want to buy this pattern. Is there still any chance that I could? thanks

@juanita hurt Try a walking foot.
I am having such a hard time making sense of the straight version of this dress. I'm new to sewing and I am truly baffled
Maybe I am loosing it but the instructions never stated to cut the fabric on the right side for any pieces and yet it looks as if you cut it different. Now I have cut up fabric that I messed up. 😒
one thing i didnot see how u cut the dress
