This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I've been searching for hours for a tutorial because I saw the exact same dress on Pinterest & thought "I could totally make that" ha! Thank you so much for the video, detailed instructions, and suggestions at the end.
The whole reason I started sewing my own clothes was because I saw super expensive dresses and I thought maybe I can just sew that. This is probably the most clear directions and explanations on how to measure and put together this type of dress, to me. I will have to save this and reference back to it. Thank you!
I think what would be a fun alteration is to either put a little elastic at the front neckline (it seems like the original dress is also a little ruffled there), or to cut the top pieces in a soft trapez shape so that it's tighter at the neckline, but still flowy at the bottom. either way I really like this and will try it myself with one of the alterations!
this is perfect 😍 ive been dreaming of making this dress since it was all over my pinterest a few months ago. I have so much scrap from old clothes and stuff I want to try and make this. thank you for sharing!!
@@Mindfulmae yesss! i had so many old black and white dresses i wasn’t wearing so i’m cutting out as much as i can to make this. thank you for doing all the math for me, we’re like the same size so this is perfect
@@hanpear yesss that’s the best when you’re the same size as someone with a pattern 😆 I hope you enjoy the project! just remember to test your strap length; Mine were too long initially! 🤦🏼♀️
SEW 2 rows of basting stitches (long, loose stitches, either by machine or by hand) and pull the fabric to the desired length, spacing the gathers as evenly as you can for all around gathers. Not difficult to explain!!
Placement of straps can't be same width, back distance between straps should be 1/2" wider than front on either side, this way straps stay in place without falling...
I'm super new to sewing and would love to make something like this. But if I were to accidentally make it too loose at the bust/neck like yours did, is there a way to fix it? I heard of something called a dart that goes on the chest, is that how you would tighten it? If I get scared of flashing boobs every time I lean over, I'd never wear the item so I don't want that to happen after going through the effort of sewing it.

Ah! That makes me so glad to hear! I love those “I could make that” moments 😂

@@superawesomejunkmonk I love that! Sewing is so fun for that reason. It makes anything possible!
Yours is better!! Great mix of neutral fabrics. Love it!
@@JohannaVanWinkle thank you! I am a fan of neutrals!
Very pretty. Love the muted tones of the fabric
@@arlenem6659 thank you! I’m a big fan of neutrals!

Such a pretty dress. Great tutorial, too. Figuring out the measurements is not easy for me. You made it easy.
@@jimmie200 I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼♥️
girl you ATE THIS UP
ah, thank you so much!!
this is literally my pinterest dream dress ! thank you, thank you !!!!
Same!! The algorithm kept showing it to me on Pinterest 😆 so I knew I needed to make my own!
Cute. Love the color pallette.
Your videos get better and better! I absolutely loved this one! The dress is stunning and the way you make your videos is just so fun. 😝
thank you so much - that means a lot!!
Thanks for the tutorial! I made the dress, took a very very long time though because I made it really gathered. Love the result! Plus I added pockets
ah I want to see!!! I wish I made mine more gathered AND added pockets. You're my hero.
I definitely hope to make one someday and will use this when that day comes❤
this dress seems very up your alley!
Well done missy❤
@@TerriTownsend thank you!

I've been searching for a tutorial for this style for forever!! Im so excited 😍😍 tysm!
@@minimotleymomof3 yay! I felt the same and that’s why I made it 😅
OMG I want to make this dress so badly! It looks so beautiful!
Do it! It’s so fun to use up scraps! 🤩
Thank you for your time and creativity:) Your dress looks very beautiful. I have some linen scraps I am going to attempt something like this.
So fun! I would love to make one of these in linen! Hope it goes well ✨
I absolutely love this! Can’t wait to try it out myself! ❤
I absolutely love your dress! Thanks for the fine tutorial!
Thanks Eve!!
Love the result, the soft colors, will make it for sure, thank you for sharing!💛
Beautiful dress! 💕
Thank you! 😊
Hi. Adorable dress. Something to think about. Thank you 👌.
This was a great tutorial, thanks for sharing!! :)
I'm so glad! Thank YOU for watching! :)
This is great! Could you give some tips on gathering the fabric that isn’t something i’ve tried yet.
Hi! It’s tricky to explain in words. I would definitely recommend watching a RUclips video on how to do gathering stitches!
SEW 2 rows of basting stitches (long, loose stitches, either by machine or by hand) and pull the fabric to the desired length, spacing the gathers as evenly as you can for all around gathers. Not difficult to explain!!
Placement of straps can't be same width, back distance between straps should be 1/2" wider than front on either side, this way straps stay in place without falling...
Subscribed, super cute dress. I love it :)
@@dalenewton6015 thank you!
So curious about how you did the gather connections
Hi! Do you mean how each tier was added?
Extra has to be added for ease, beside seam allowances...
Me gustaría,tuviera subtítulos en español
¿Tiene un botón de traducción automática? Creo que eso es todo lo que puedo hacer. que tenga un buen día :)
@@Mindfulmae si,pero está en inglés 😞😞

Absolutely you could add darts! That's a great way to bring in the top without having to redo everything!

Do you think it would be easy to make a shorter version? Like a knee length one?
Totally! Just shorten each of the bottom two tiers!
100%! Like @ReedxMyxLips said, just shorten the bottom 2 tiers or leave the last one off and length tier 2!
$435? I'm totally under pricing my dresses. Lol!! I need to know these rich people.
Same! 😆
Acculy it's what cloths should cost if people get a fair paycheck when working a d make cloths
@ Not $435. I make a lot of clothes and that price is ridiculous.
@wileycovington4497 then you don't want a living wages
@ I expect people to pay what things are actually worth. That price is not a living wage price. That’s greed. The dress is simple to make.
This is a really good way to use left over fabric. But I can't understand how someone would pay over $400 for this dress that inspired you.
It is surprising! but people have different values! Maybe if I had a lot of money I would buy it instead of making it 😆
