    So glad I found this video. I’m literally in the process of hemming my Nell dress and when I’ve tried it on it seems so big and unflattering so I’m in the process of adding waist ties! What a great idea. Also agree with you about the buttons, I have done the button holes and buttons and luckily they turned out ok but I can easily get it on over my head so in my next version I’ll do faux buttonholes!!

    Your various Nell blouses and dress are all beautiful! I like your idea for altering the width at the waist and adding waist ties to the dress. I’m currently making the Nell Dress.

    What is the difference between a popper and a snap? Haven’t heard of poppers in the US.

    • @WendyPooleTheDressmaker
      @WendyPooleTheDressmaker 18 дней назад

      @@delpha2419 Hiya, I hadn’t thought of it this way and they’re very similar. In the UK what I mean is that a “popper” could also be a press stud or a snap fastener. (I may have been using old fashioned terminology). So it would be 2 interlocking discs, made out of plastic or metal that are sewn into place, then snap together when one side is pushed into the other. Or they can be like jeans fasteners, where there is no sewing involved and a small gadget is used to attach them to the fabric.

    Your versions are gorgeous. I have made the blouse and then modified the fit for me and made a dress. I think the fabric I chose isn’t as successful as your viscose versions (I used cottons). I notice that your cotton version also sits a touch away from your body like mine, so I know now that it is the fabric. I’m going to try a viscose version next as I think I’ll much prefer that. I was going to try ties on the waist, so your hunt is really useful. Thank you. I fancy mashing the Fleur and Nell together as I love elements of each of them.

    • @WendyPooleTheDressmaker
      @WendyPooleTheDressmaker 11 дней назад

      That’s a great idea, I think I prefer both in a more floaty fabric, as for me it’s more flattering.😁

    I love all your versions and found your adjustments for the back really helpful as I’m 5ft 4” too. I love your side vent on the gingham version. I really hope to make one soon. I’d be interested to know how you’d compare the peplum Nell to the Fleur blouse as they are very similar even though there are some differences.

    • @WendyPooleTheDressmaker
      @WendyPooleTheDressmaker 11 дней назад

      Thank you, although the peplums are very similar- I made the Fleur top using a double gauze which is more bulky than the gingham viscose, so they look quite different. But with either of them if I was making the top again with a structured fabric - I’d put less fullness in the peplum. But if I using a viscose, I’d keep it the same. 😁

    I’ve never made a shirt before so I may well look into getting the Tony shirt. What is the fit like in the body as my husband likes a slim fit, but he has quite broad shoulders. Love your Fleur blouse xx

    • @WendyPooleTheDressmaker
      @WendyPooleTheDressmaker 24 дня назад

      I personally thought the fit was good, not tailored like a slim fitting formal shirt, but just a nicely fitting casual shirt that wasn’t oversized. I’d measure the shoulder width on one of his shirts that already fits well and just grade out to that size across the shoulders. Hope that helps.😀

    I'm glad to have come across your channel. I'm a pretty new sewist, just beginning my adventure into making garments. I'm using Closet Core's course to learn to sew clothes, and one of the three patterns they include in that is the Cielo. It was quite good to hear what an experienced sewist thinks of it and that you like it so much. I haven't made it yet, because I've chosen to start with their Fiore skirt, which I'm currently in the process of tracing before I take the deep breath of cutting fabric and actually sewing it up. The Cielo will be what I make next, however long it takes me to finish the skirt and move on to it.

    Hi Wendy - just found you and really enjoyed your video so I have subscribed. I work in Truro and didn't realise Truro Fabrics did a Sewing Society. I have been learning to sew for about a year - have all the gear but no idea - actually that is untrue as I have made several garments which I do wear but recently have lost my confidence so I have signed up for the next fortnightly session (this weeks was full I guess as I couldn't click on it) I love your Cielo top and dress - I think I will order this. I have made the Patina twice and have a 3rd one cut out which has been on my table for 3 weeks ..... look forward to your video re fitting as this would be so useful - thank you
