Lovely dress and it looks great on you. I agree with the walking foot use. I have found that walking feet need maintenance to keep them functioning well. Don't for get to clean and oil your walking foot.
Thanks so much! That's a great tip about oiling your walking foot, quite frankly I don't even think I ever thought about that. I'll definitely look up how to do that.
I love looking at the directions of vi Tage patterns because they usually have super interesting construction techniques. Sometimes they are a bit hard to follow but they can turn out awesome like your maxi dress! Also love vintage sewing books for the same reason!
They do have interesting techniques! I mean sometimes they’re silly (feeding one shoulder into another to assemble a facing-no thanks I’ll burrito it lol) but sometimes so clever! I really like how the casings are formed in this bodice.
I'm going to adopt your journal ideas for myself. I do have a note book for projects but I don't really take notes on the construction. This I need to do. The dress came out so well and you look darling in it. I hope you get to go to a garden party! 🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵️
So much useful construction info in this video, thank you! Le sigh, I love the dress, it's super cute. Wouldn't have thought of black, but yeah, really nice.
It turned out so well! Do you have strapless bra recommendations, or is the boning and cup-ish construction of this one supportive enough to go braless?
Thanks! I wish I could say I do have a recommendation, but really, the strapless bra I have is... fine. Nothing remarkable that is worthy of recommending. 😂 I wear a D cup so it wouldn't be enough without a bra for me. I'd love a more retro strapless bra but so far haven't found one, so this is just a regular modern round cup strapless. I honestly don't wear them enough to have spent too much time trying to find something better. 😊
Whether (and which) strapless is going to work, is more a factor of one's body and breast structure. Some bodies are more self-supporting of breast tissue, and then there's the shape of the breast tissue... There's a site/group "a bra that fits" which explains a lot of this, and has suggestions/links to what has worked well for other people with similar breasts. Best of luck!
The alternative, being to find/make/alter a bra to have aesthetic straps, and embrace the extra criss-crossing strappy lines with this shape of outfit.
That is so lovely! It's a very nice construction. I defiantly see the use of a journal keeps you on track.
Thanks! It's a fun constructions, very clever. Was happy to have notes from last time!

Love when a garment highlights and showcases one's tattoos so well. This shape is so lovely!

You’re very welcome! I don’t think I set out to but I’ve really ended up liking lots of florals on black backgrounds.
It’s gorgeous Tasha.I also love the fitted bodice of the dress you are wearing.What pattern is that please ? xx
Thanks! Do you mean the yellow peasant blouse I'm wearing? That's a Charm Patterns Rita top made in jersey fabric. 😊

Ohhhh! That is so sad about that pretty fabric being rotten. Dagnabbit.
I know, it was such a bummer! Someone suggested maybe framing a piece. I haven't gotten rid of it yet, in case I come up with something for it.
