I got definite Dorothy vibes there with you and Lion, even though I don't think Dorothy wears that colour anywhere in the film. I love the way you imbue everything you do with fantasy ❤
I love this dress; the neck line is perfect, this pattern combo is a keeper! You look great in this shade of red, and the overall shape is very flattering. xoxo's Sandie😊
I haven't finished watching this yet but I'm sure your finished dress is going to be gorgeous! Your sewing skills are goals and I'm amazed at your ability to Feanken-pattern and make it fit so beautifully. I didn't notice the doubled daisies until you pointed it out, and the puffy sleeves totally drew my eyes away and I didn't notice it unless I was specifically looking, which is weird, because bust points. So anyone who notices on their own is just telling you they're a weirdo bust watcher. 😄 Also, I hope that by finishing your summer dress you force the weather to cooperate and give us some desperately needed rain. On that note, I plomise I'll wash my car this week. It can't hurt, right? The discoloration on the fabric reminds me of what I sometimes see on fabrics when my washer is a jerk and doesn't fully rinse everything out. I now run every load with an extra rinse because my sensitive skin hates being itchy and I notice a lot fewer spots on my jeans and darker fabrics. Hope that helps! Edited because the finished dress is so beautiful and it looks so good on you!
Oh my goodness I love love love this dress, I have never made any clothes but this is exactly what I'd like to make .... I'm a plus size woman I think this is very flattering ... Thank you so much 💘
Checking out the artist that inspired this dress, you have definitely improved on the original. It's a fabulous dress that makes sense as an easy and fun to wear summer outfit.
I love it. The footage of you running down the path reminded me of a concert I went to many years ago. One of Bette Midler's back up dancers had a body just like you and me. She was a hot, energetic, talented, plus-sized dancer. Hurray for you and Bette and her dancer, for being out there squashing stereo types!! I hope your rehearsals are going great. It can't be easy going from sick bed to stage.
I'd rather add the 12 missing ones in, than pick all the others out! Or are you talking about the ones on the bust point? I think it would leave major scarring to take them out (embroidered things usually do, since the needle has punched so many holes).
I LOVE THIS!!! And the skirt on it!!!! As Miss MonMon says, "because full skirts are everything in life." Now, all you need are a hundred more in all the colors and styles. Bravo!
I made my daughter a dress with that material …the daisies were on blue light blue back ground. A few of them were missing their centers. I just embroidered them on. Others were missing their white petals also got embroidered. I was not happy with that but it was fixable.
Really recommend the Selkie-dress (Batsheva started the trend 4+ years ago) trend as something to go for no matter if you are the type to buy or sew! I wear a very utilitarian form of cottagecore/history-bounding and was worried the princessy-dress trend would be too much for me but I finally saw my "perfect-for-me" selkie-style dress and picked it up. It's really been a game changer to have one; I didn't know what I was missing and I feel like I have a piece of fashion history; this trend really took off because of what's happened over the past few years and I think it's very representative of a snapshot of time (like a flapper dress, a poodle skirt, a disco jumpsuit).
I hadn't thought of it that way, but I think you're totally right. Selkie is a great combination of cottagecore and princesscore, which I agree are kind of the two biggest trends to represent the "pandemic-era"
I'm always amazed at the pleasure you show in your finished garment. Such satisfaction is hard come by sometimes. Have you watched Evelyn Wood's video on How to read the wrinkles? Very helpful. I'm really glad to worked out it was the back bodice that needed adjustment, not the front.
Oooh! This wrinkle-reading video sounds like something I need to look up because I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm trying to make things fit better. Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful job! I also prefer higher necklines so my camisole doesn’t show- it’s nice to see how to alter patterns to fit that. I love how you Frankenstein patterns together, too- it inspires me to think outside the box.
I can't wait for your autumn projects! I found your channel last year through Gunne-Sax-oween, and loved your dresses! I may have to try my own this year.
I haven't tried it with my yellow belt yet, but I really like it with a wide black belt, which is how I've worn it a couple times in the last week or so. I'll have to try yellow too.
This dress came out so well!!! It is a perfect summer-to-fall transition piece! I think your extra side-bust armscye fabric could be because you need to do a full bust adjustment. The big pattern houses fit their patterns to a B cup-can you believe??
Another, beautiful, well fitted dress. I have plans to make something similar for my wife for Christmas, using a Christmas print fabric. Like you, she can get away without using a zipper on most of her loose fitting dresses, which makes the sewing so much easier. (I hate doing zippers) So glad the stains washed out. I remember just finishing a white summer childs dress for my niece and was just doing the final iron when my iron decided to spit out a hugh rusty colour stain right on the front of the skirt.
Awww look at Lion💜💜💜 absolutely gorgeous dress! I absolutely hate when elastic do the wibbely ting, I always throw all of it away since I don't trust it anymore.... About the dirt spots, maybe Dora have been using this as a sleeping spot? Or at lest used it once after being outside, maybe in the rain! And it's probably easy to hand embroider the yellow spots in.
I still need to pattern last year's 1910s dress! I also always feel weird about the idea of patterning something I cobbled together from commercial patterns - I don't know where the line is drawn for ownership.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions when I was in fashion school it was made clear you only had to change one line to make it "your design". I did think about it before I posted my comment and I think you have changed both of the patterns you used. The neckline in the bodice is the biggest change obviously but it's a circle skirt and a puffy sleeve honestly those are basics that even the pattern companies can't lay claim too. The way you put them together with modifications especially for us bigger girls in my opinion makes it unique.
All your fitting adjustments are GOLD to beginner sewists like me ! I learn so much ! I DO know that you should use half distilled & half tap water in most irons. The mineral deposits may be the issue with staining ???? (Guilty of using water from my Brita filter!)
Turned out super cute! Also congrats at ECCC! I was watching your video of the con and heard a familiar name. Modulus Props is my brother! I spotted him in the background behind the amazing Elsa. 😀
If the missing daisy centres were front and centre I'd suggest some dinky buttons or sequins as replacements. That would allow you to make it a feature, not a bug. But since they're on the back of the skirt nobody is going to really notice.
According to my pattern-making book, this excess fabric under the arm is because there should be a wider dart on the shoulder (pattern makers usually don't like that dart so they make is so it's compensated in other places... can't remember where 😣)... i have the exact same problem with literally every commercial pattern so i'm intending to try that out (when i'm less exhausted from work though)!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions me neither, that was my first time seeing (and sewing) one! It is limiting in terms of design though, so that's probably why it's not used anymore (or that's just a French patterning thing lmao at this point I wouldn't be surprised)
@@barbaraferron7994 perpendicular to the shoulder seam line, on the front i think it went to my bust point and the width of the dart had to do with (i thiink) the lengh of your neckline?? Not too sure abt this one i'd have to check. On the back panel it was pretty standard i think, something like 2 to 3cms wide and no more than 9cms long.
I’ve heard that the armpit fabric can be dealt with if you do your bust darts differently. How they have to be done depends on your individual body shape, but boobs are dumb like that. I personally have to do two darts, horizontal and perpendicular, even if it’s a off the rack thing I’m buying. Otherwise it just straight up won’t fit okay
Try opening the seams over the bust before altering anywhere else. If the seams gape, as the wrinkles suggest they will, that means you need to add not subtract fabric. An easy fix. Otherwise just pinch a dart there at the armscye
If it makes you feel any better about forgetting this fabric, I bought a bunch of fabric to make summer dresses, then the problems I have with my hands got worse and I ended up with a tremor when I got covid and I haven't been able to sew in months. Summer dresses for next year 🤷🏼♀️
you say you hope you get many chances to wear it before summer is over. why can you not wear it beyond summer? i have never understood the concept of seasonal clothes with the exception of perhaps shorts and short dresses/skirts. i live in kansas and we get extremely cold winters. i just put a coat over whatever clothes i like. if its a strap dress, a cute blouse under it, which i've seen you do lots of times. i'm just curious about this, not judging. super cute dress. i'ld like to try to make as similar one.
For this one, it's really the sleeves. They won't fit in sweaters, and I'm not sure if it will fit in a coat (but also, if I'm wearing a coat, then I would want to be wearing long sleeves). That's why I was a little tempted to make this a jumper dress at first, since those are so much more versatile for changing seasons.
awesome as always. I really love the silhouette of this. I wish I could get away with puffy sleeves like this, but my shoulders are just too broad and I end up looking like a linebacker in puff sleeves. not a good look.
Love the franken-pattern, it looks amazing. And you've certainly gotten your wish. The weather is staying nice enough (though thankfully a bit cooler) for you to get plenty of wear out of this dress. It was also lovely seeing Lion getting in on the reveal video action, looked like a great park.
I think I've showed it in some old videos, but basically, I just go around with a ruler or tape measure from waist to hem, and cut off any excess that has dropped too low, then either do a bias tape hem or a narrow turned hem like this.
I wonder if the shoulders are too wide. I’m still trying to figure out how to make a good fit, and often have similar issues until I narrow the shoulder, but with the sleeves it’s less noticiable. I love the color and pattern.
As an alternative to the elastic, would it be comfortable enough to put in little straps on the inside of the sleeve. Like suspenders or garters, where the straps are the length you like, leaving the sleeve itself to puff up? Almost like an inner sleeve but a few straps instead of full fabric.
Hey, did you ever figure out how much yardage you started with? I'm very fond of cobbling patterns together and therefore am never sure how much fabric to buy!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions sometimes I have picked off embroidery to find it marked but steaming the spot refreshes the base textile. Be worth trying a scrap to test.
The dress is very cute, but that belt I cannot approve of. A white one would be much better. A man on a galloping horse will never notice the flowers missing their centres, as my mother would have said!
I honestly agree. I thought it looked cute when I put it on, but looking at the footage, I don't like it. It's too narrow and too pale. I've since worn it with a wide black one, and that's much better.

Thank you! And you're probably right about the discoloration coming from soap residue (hence why it luckily washed out!)

Just tried to "like" this one twice while watching - that's how much I like this look and cleverness!👏
I bought this fabric in yellow for a summer sheath dress. It screamed buy me from the shelves of Joann’s. Love how yours turned out.
Thanks! That's what this fabric did to me too!
If they are embroidered, you could try on a scrap to see if you could pick them out.

What a pretty dress!!😍 You and Lion having fun on a walk was sooo ADORABLE!! 🥰
That color is fantastic on you, you are just so clever, love from Tasmania.
“Frankin-pattern”! I love it.
That colour is super flattering on you. Makes your complexion glow

I lost the bet I made with myself. I was sure you'd go for a bright yellow belt to bring out the centres of the daisies.
I haven't tried it with my yellow belt yet, but I really like it with a wide black belt, which is how I've worn it a couple times in the last week or so. I'll have to try yellow too.
I love Lion in the reveal footage. The dress is beautiful
Unrelated, love that blue and orange plaid shirt! So cute!
Thanks! It's actually a dress! You'll see a lot more of it in this Saturday's video.

I love this one! I so want to see it in summer with some white flats or sandals and a wide white belt, maybe with a daisy buckle??
I am glad you added the belt, it's cute
I think it turned out beautiful and I don't think the fit is too big, with a belt it is perfect....
The dress is really cute. You should be able to wear it this fall before it gets cold.
Cute dress! The pattern you cobbled together would be a fun jumping off point for your fall gunne sax dress. ❤️
That's my plan! 😉 And thanks!
It looks great I hope Lion enjoyed the walk in the park
so lovely to see Lion help you model your lovely dress. you could pop a yellow sharpie dot on the daisies.xx

That neckline is very flattering 😃
Such a pretty dress 👗

I love the whole dress on you.
That dress is so cheerful! I love looking at it!

This fabric is so cute! Also I think some sort of fba would have eliminated some of the armscye issues but it looks like you worked it out. :)
Great dress. I love the color.
So stinkin cute!
The dress is so wonderful I wish I had one.
I’ve had irons do that too. It happened just before it died.
No, don't say that -- this one is a new iron!

You're inspiring me to wear more flowy dresses, great job!
Hi, love your new dress, looks gorgeous on you 😘, instead of taking the waist in what about adding some elastic to the back of the waist. 💖
That's an interesting idea, but I don't think I would like the scrunches it would cause.
This is something Minnie Mouse would wear 🥰
Hi👋 strange with the 12 flowers. Maybe you can embroider the yellow Center in the 12 Flowers yourself?🙂 i guess that would not take so long?

Thanks! That was our first time there, and I took Lion because it has a whole dog park section too!
I would love to see how you level after the skirt has dropped. Thanks Nona
I think I've showed it in some old videos, but basically, I just go around with a ruler or tape measure from waist to hem, and cut off any excess that has dropped too low, then either do a bias tape hem or a narrow turned hem like this.

I adore this dress so much!!!!
Gonna start dating your pattern notes? I do that with all my notes at work (the rules change so frequently).
I really probably should!
Color out a daisy with orange marker?
It's just a blank space in the center of the daisy, where it should be yellow. But it hides in the full skirt.
Do you have any suggestions on a big 3 pattern that might work for a plus size Raggedy Anne dress as well as for the bloomers?
I'm not really familiar with what raggedy Anne's outfit looks like, but for bloomers, pretty much any big 3 costume pattern will work.
As an alternative to the elastic, would it be comfortable enough to put in little straps on the inside of the sleeve. Like suspenders or garters, where the straps are the length you like, leaving the sleeve itself to puff up? Almost like an inner sleeve but a few straps instead of full fabric.
That's an interesting idea, and it sounds like it would work similarly to bustle tapes, but elastic is way easier!
Hey, did you ever figure out how much yardage you started with? I'm very fond of cobbling patterns together and therefore am never sure how much fabric to buy!
I think it worked out to 5.8 yards. I have a feeling I bought 6, and lost some due to shrinkage.
Since the daisies are embroidered, couldn't you pick out the extra flower on the LSF?
It would wind up leaving a really big scar.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions too bad. 🙁
@@LadyRebeccaFashions sometimes I have picked off embroidery to find it marked but steaming the spot refreshes the base textile. Be worth trying a scrap to test.
