I wrote down the instructions for myself, hope that's okay. I think the video shows everything really clearly, but I wanted to have something to look at esp. when measuring/marking. I would like to make the bodice longer, so that it ends at the waist instead of under the bust, so I sometimes wrote underbust/waist; not sure if that will work out though! 😬 TOP 1. Cut 2 rectangles Length - 20 cm (above the bust to waist/underboob +1cm seam allowance) Width (side to side) = bust size minus 2cm (80cm for Jess). 2. Mark the rectangles in the middle on top and bottom, then connect the markings to make a straight line 3. Mark (1/4 bust size + 1cm)(21cm for Jess) on both sides from the line in the middle 4. Make a mark at the bottom using the same distance and make straight lines 5. From the middle line, mark (1/2 width between breasts/+2cm) (13cm for Jess), on both sides 6. Mark 7cm down on the outside line 7. Connect the 2 marks from points 5 and 6; curve the line 8. On the edge of fabric, mark on the middle (10cm) 9. Connect this mark with the 7cm mark; curve the line 10. From the middle line, mark 12cm (1/2 width between breasts+1cm) on both sides; make straight lines 11. Cut the outside triangles 12. Fold on the line from step 10 (one at a time); pin 13. Draw a curve along the straight line for your bust 14. Sew along the curved line 15. Fold on the armpit line, draw a curved triangle 1cm to the outside, and sew. Both sides 16. Check the measurements (@3:48) 17. Pin the 2 pieces right sides together (don't sew yet) STRAPS 18. Cut a rectangle 70cm x 4cm 19. Fold the sides to the centre & pin. Better to see @4:25 20. Sew the strap (next to the edge) 21. Put the ends of the straps to the bodice @5:00 22. Sew from the bottom armpit mark to the bottom armpit mark on the other side (leave the bottom line not sewn); seam allowance is the same as the sewing foot 23. Turn the top right sides out & press SKIRT FRONT 24. Cut a rectangle for the front of the skirt (if there is enough fabric cut with pockets) Length (80cm) from the waist/underbust to the knee Width (92cm) - hip size (the widest part of the booty) 25. Change the sewing settings to the longest stitch and stitch along the width 26. Pull on the string to gather the fabric until it is (1/2underboob size + 2cm seam allowance) SKIRT BACK 27. Cut the same rectangle as the front but +2cm in LENGTH (if there is enough fabric cut with pockets) 28. Mark 4cm from the top of the skirt along the whole width 29. Double fold - first 1cm, then 2cm; pin; sew 30. Cut elastic to (1/2underboob+2cm); 1.5cm width; put into the casing 31. Pin the ends of the elastic to the ends of the fabric casing and sew into place 32. Pin the front skirt and back skirt right sides together and pin along the sides 33. Hem the bottom on double fold CONNECT THE TOP TO BOTTOM First, the front of the top has 2 sides, front and back 34. Connect the front side of the bottom (gathered by string) to the front part of the front side of the top - right sides together, but sew on the wrong sides 35. Take the back side of the front part of the top, fold the end, and pin to the bottom part (gathered). Pin from the FRONT side! 36. Sew from the front side (topstitching) 37. Make flaps at the front back - see 10:30 FINISHED! I think the 1 long strap needs to be separated and the ends finished, which wasn't shown in the video, but should be pretty easy to figure out. Fingers crossed it will work out for me!!
🥺🙌🏽 Jess, I really want to thank you for sharing amazing step-by-step tutorials for both pattern drafting and sewing, instead of just linking a pattern for purchase 💖
I love your method of designing, creating the pattern, and sewing. As I’ve commented on another video, I’ve learned so much from you, the way that you measure, transfer the measurements to the flat fabric, make the lines curved where needed, ... . It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to make pretty things for myself and not have to buy patterns - purchased patterns never fit me, and the adjustment process is so lengthy!! Bravo for being self-taught!
I love the way you explain everything. It makes it so easy for someone like me (who doesn't know how to sew or how to do a pattern 😂) to understand! Plus, everything you do is so pretty
Thanks a lot! I learn sewing by myself and I don't want to follow the complicated techniques. So I understand the feeling for beginners when it come to this part. Therefore I just want to show them that there're other way that are simple but still beautiful to make clothes
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My dress turned out great! As some other comments said, remember that you need to make 2 straps. The straps weren't long enough to tie a nice bow and have some loose strap hanging down, so I added 40cm to each strap, so each measured 110cm long. I also stretched the elastic out when measuring it to make sure it would be tight enough when the garment was finished. I also recommend doing 2 seams for the gathering and using high-quality cotton, as mine broke twice and I had to keep redoing it! I chose to leave the sides of my dress a bit open, so I only attached about 12cm of the bottom front of the top to the skirt, leaving an extra 12cm open either side so you could see more of my waist/flanks. Just a personal design choice :) I’m really happy with my dress and am grateful for the tutorial! Thank you!
Jess… I’ve never made anything with a sewing machine (I’m a knitter and crocheter). I’ve got myself a second hand machine and it’s sitting on my table as I’m “terrified “ of it 😂 I’ve practised some stitching on scrap fabric and I need to make something or I’ll never figure this out. Your videos are so inspiring and seem so easy to do! I think this one can be very beginner friendly. Let’s make it! Thank you also for using metric, most of the world uses metric but with so many US and UK creators it’s hard to find tutorials where I don’t have to be translating all to metric! 😅 THANK U, JESS!
Thank you so much for making this video and always having such clear instructions!!! I made the dress but with a closed back instead of open and I love it! I hope you continue to make these videos
guys, i tried this and it was a huge success!!! i'm just a beginner but this was pretty do-able enough for me. it looked so good!! like i got it from the mall or a boutique. it's honestly my best and most wearable creation yet. try it out!! also, thank you so much for making these tutorials. it's brilliant and easy to follow!!
I saw a similar dress online the other day and thought I should be able to make it. Having you do a tutorial on it makes it even better as I'm not that well at sewing just yet aha
Really loving your videos! Not only am I getting inspiration, but seeing how your brain works to make these dresses is so wonderful. Commercial patterns are confusing to me, but your techniques of patterning off of your own measurements with simple shapes is very helpful!
I don't know how you come up with all these simple but ingenious sewing tutorials. They are so cute and seem so easy to do. I love and watch all your videos.
I just made it and it's perfect. My new favorite dress for sure. Super dreamy and great for summer. I have the same measurements as hers so I didn't change the pattern (just underbust 39 instead of 37). I am so in love thank you so much for such an amazing tutorial 😍
This was so beautiful to make, and so easy and quick (made it in one afternoon). Your instructions are straight to the point as very clear to understand, thank you so much for posting this and making beautiful projects available. I would only recommend to those making this to make the straps a bit longer (i.e. instead of 70 cm try 80 cm) and to measure the elastic a bit stretched out, otherwise it will be a bit loose.
Wowi! Just finished sewing my dress, it came our adorable! It took time as it was my first sewing project, but it was worth it. Your tutorials are simple to follow and clear, thank you!
I love this girl so much! She figured this out all by herself??!!! WOW! Even though sometimes her accent makes it hard for me to understand a word or two, I like how she writes out what she is doing! I love her channel and she seems like she would be super nice too!🥰🥰🥰😊
Beautiful summer dress and seems easy to sew but for beginner like me I have to keep going back each time for the measurements. I am sure with practice I will get it. Thank you for sharing
Amazing diy , it’s so pretty, and what I like the most is that you always wear your finished garments, thanks for sharing Jess, you really inspire to sew. God bless you
Thanks a lot! The reason why I got into sewing because I want to make my own clothes to wear everyday. So I want them to look like I bought them from a store :)
I just finished a dress following this tutorial, i just made my dress shorter. I am so happy! Thank you, Jess. Your videos making it easier for a beginner like me. 😊
i'm so grateful i found your channel! i've been wanting to get into sewing for so long but have been too intimidated to spend actual money on paper or pdf patterns in case i'm terrible at it. but your videos make it look so much easier than i would've expected! after spending way too much money on my fall and winter wardrobe, i'm definitely going to try my hand at sewing my spring/summer wardrobe this year. thank you so much!
I dont know how many times i watch this video to make for my niece. And it turns out very cute, i hope its fit well . i love all your design in sewing.
I’ve made quite a few comments on your page but I’ve never given any helpful tips because I’m exactly like you I have taught myself to sew and I learn a lot from you personally and haven’t felt qualified to give any tips. But After watching you for over a year, I think that I’m ready to share just a little. I think the most helpful tip I can give you is to keep explaining things thoroughly, saying why you’re doing a certain method or not...it’s very very helpful, especially when it comes to making the pattern. I can follow any direction but if I don’t understand why I’m doing it then I can’t repeat the process on my own, and as a sewist I hope that I can expand my knowledge and become more creative on my own. For instance, today you actually showed the type of measurement you were taking on your body while you were explaining making the top. Something else that’s really helpful is when you give the formulas for how you come to your measurements, for example (again with the top), half the breast circumference +2 cm = the measurement for the front of the top. I think thorough explanations are just the best thing that any teacher can do. One thing I think would take this further, is by adding in those formulas you use to calculate the garments into the description box. You and I are the same size so doing a formula for us I can remember that. But let’s say I want to make the exact same garment for someone who’s three times my size, I really don’t have a clear understanding of how I would do that. When we do projects with you we’re always doing them for ourselves but I wanna know how to sew some thing for others. OK, those are my only tips, I hope they made sense. You’ve been my first sewing teacher from the beginning and it’s been about a year and a half and I still love your channel and I love you as a teacher and I hope you just continue to be encouraged that you’re doing a wonderful job and I’ve learned so much. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Kenzie, Thank you so much for such a super nice comment and sharing. I'm so glad that all my expectations in the video went well to you. And thank you for the tips about the other people sizes. I'll try to improve it in the future videos.
I can't thank you enough! I have wanted to learn how to sew my whole life, but my mum died when I was young and she wasn't able to teach me. My grandmother was a tailor when she was younger, but I wasn't able to learn from her either. I grew up wearing my grandmother made upcycled clothes. And I had special clothes made by my mum. I want to do that for my grandchildren one day, and to teach my daughter how to sew, but have always struggled and felt intimidated. But your tutorials are so helpful, I finally have to confidence to start doing it. Your explanations make so much sense to me!! Thank you so so much xx
THIS IS SO PRETTY. I am going to see my therapist and I love her sm. I was planning to make a dress to go there. I love dressing up nicely to go meet her and this is definitely such a cute dress. I will update! 😂
I´ve been already waiting for such a tutorial:) And what I really love this time, is that you´ve filmed how to measure out all of the lenghts! Thanks!!
The reason why i'm interested in this channel is because i love to make boho outfit in the simple & easy technique the way you do.....also i love hearing your accent... Love from Indonesia to vietnam....... See you next hhhwwweeekkkkkkkkk ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊👍👍🍇🍒🍑🍓🍉🌼🌻🍍🍋🍊🍏🍅🥕
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I can’t wait to try it! Please can you give some more clarity on which way to adjust the curves / darts for larger busts?
For larger bust, it's more important to adjust the rectangle at the front bodice. For the curves, it'll be more curve at the end. But you can also try that part on your body (inside out) to adjust the bust area to fit your body better
Hi Jess - I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! I am a brand new sewer and just finished making this dress because of your brilliant tutorial. I can't wait to follow along to more of your videos. You are such a great teacher!
I just made this in 4T based on measurements I took and it came out SO AMAZING!! I used nautical print and soft rope for the strap. My daughter feels like a million bucks in it. Thank you!! Looking forward to making more of your tutorials and making this dress in different prints plus a matching one for myself 😀
The moment you say u leaned to sew by yourself it actually gives me boost up I'm also a student I'm learning online so thank you for teaching other students like us keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The fabric is very beautiful. And of course your design too, thanks Jess for the great tutorials, I am learning a lot about sewing thanks to you and your videos
I ended up making it straight away! At first I got some measurements wrong but I figured it out as I went along. Thankyou so much for the tutorial it turned out perfectly!!!
I just finished sewing mine with my hand-printed silk, it was a bit slippery, but turned out nice and I love it! Thank you so so so much Jess for the tutorial 🫶🏻💓❤️🔥
It's so hot in the Philippines right now but I still want to go out and flaunt and I saw this video. Will definitely try to make one 😍 Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
Omg!! Just made one instead of skirt I made it into "CUTE OPEN BACK JUMPSUIT", the measurements it so amazingly clear and easy to follow you are one of the best DIY content creator in you tube sewing!!👍👍👍👍👍 if I can only post my photo 📸 super proud of my self now😊
Thank you so much. You're amazing and this tutorial is a life saver. I purchased an open backed pattern from France but don't speak French. If you publish this as a pattern I'll buy it. X
Your pieces never cease to amaze! :) This dress will be perfect for my honeymoon. I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for sharing all your hard work and talent with us, Jess! 💕
I just wanted to thank you! This is the very first dress I made and I am so happy with the result! It really gave me the confidence to try, explore, learn and create even more :)
amazing diy :D I just did the top part of the dress without the bottom and the top looks really nice on their own. Thanks for describing every step so thoroughly

I wrote down the instructions for myself, hope that's okay. I think the video shows everything really clearly, but I wanted to have something to look at esp. when measuring/marking.
I would like to make the bodice longer, so that it ends at the waist instead of under the bust, so I sometimes wrote underbust/waist; not sure if that will work out though! 😬

Because I don't learn sewing as a professional designer. So every time I want to make the design, I always try to find the simple way to make it
I love how you show your patterns makings process not like others. I love your channel. I'm a beginner
Thank you for adding footage for where we should take measurements!!!! can't wait to try this one out Jess (-:
Hope you like it!
This dress is gorgeous! I’ve been seeing dresses like this all over the internet and been wanting to sew one. Thanks for the video!!

Hi Kenzie,
Thank you so much for such a super nice comment and sharing. I'm so glad that all my expectations in the video went well to you. And thank you for the tips about the other people sizes. I'll try to improve it in the future videos.
What an amazing and kind woman helping other women feel pretty and confident in their bodies through their clothing. I love this. New subscriber!
Thank you so much!
Hi Jess, Thank you for taking the time to write the instructions in the video. English is my second language and this helps so much, love the dress!
Thank you so much too!
I can't thank you enough! I have wanted to learn how to sew my whole life, but my mum died when I was young and she wasn't able to teach me. My grandmother was a tailor when she was younger, but I wasn't able to learn from her either. I grew up wearing my grandmother made upcycled clothes. And I had special clothes made by my mum. I want to do that for my grandchildren one day, and to teach my daughter how to sew, but have always struggled and felt intimidated. But your tutorials are so helpful, I finally have to confidence to start doing it. Your explanations make so much sense to me!! Thank you so so much xx
It's my pleasure to share these tutorials
You are a Gem, doing amazing work with your gift. I needed this. Thank you❤
I love your tutorials Ms. Jess. Hopefully soon you can also make a vlog on how to make busters.
Thank you! I have a video on making a bustier top from a men's shirt. You can check it out on my channel
THIS IS SO PRETTY. I am going to see my therapist and I love her sm. I was planning to make a dress to go there. I love dressing up nicely to go meet her and this is definitely such a cute dress. I will update! 😂

Thanks a lot!
Such a beautiful dress! Thank you so much for this easy-to- follow tutorial!!
My pleasure
I´ve been already waiting for such a tutorial:) And what I really love this time, is that you´ve filmed how to measure out all of the lenghts! Thanks!!
Yes, I tried to show in more details how I got my measurements. So everyone can make it for themselves
The reason why i'm interested in this channel is because i love to make boho outfit in the simple & easy technique the way you do.....also i love hearing your accent... Love from Indonesia to vietnam....... See you next hhhwwweeekkkkkkkkk ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊👍👍🍇🍒🍑🍓🍉🌼🌻🍍🍋🍊🍏🍅🥕
Thank you so much! And yeah, see you next weekkkkkkk
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I can’t wait to try it! Please can you give some more clarity on which way to adjust the curves / darts for larger busts?
For larger bust, it's more important to adjust the rectangle at the front bodice. For the curves, it'll be more curve at the end. But you can also try that part on your body (inside out) to adjust the bust area to fit your body better
Hi Jess - I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! I am a brand new sewer and just finished making this dress because of your brilliant tutorial. I can't wait to follow along to more of your videos. You are such a great teacher!
So great to know that you made it!
I just made this in 4T based on measurements I took and it came out SO AMAZING!! I used nautical print and soft rope for the strap. My daughter feels like a million bucks in it. Thank you!! Looking forward to making more of your tutorials and making this dress in different prints plus a matching one for myself 😀
