I had to stop just 24 seconds in..... Could not contain my joy.....this dress is sooooooo beautiful and looks amazing on you.... Now......back to the regular programmed tutorial........🥰
I have always loved the way shirring makes the fabric pattern look so interesting and pretty! It also is stretchy but not tight and constricting. Lovely Summer dress 🥰🌼🦋
Gasp! I love it, and this is a new skill that I never would have tried, without you showing how easy it is. It turned out beautiful, and that fabric looks gorgeous on you.
Hi Brittany!! Wonderful vlog.. Absolutely love your choice of fabric, flowers & colors are very summery.. Thanks for the tutorial of shirring.. I’ve done it a couple of times but still not comfortable doing it.. Dress looks amazing on you.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Suprisingly flattering. Would not have considered this pattern if I hadn’t seen your version. Also nice to see how the shiring works on a Husqvarna. Thank you! 💕
I love this dress and your tutorial was fabulous. I have been sewing for years but have never done any shirring, watching your video has given me the courage to try it. You are an excellent seamstress and I love watching your tutorials, they are always easy to follow along with and with just enough detail too. 😊
Amazing tutorial as always, thank you! This pattern is on my "to make" list! I like the idea of using shirring, which is a method I've been wanting to give a try for a while!
Thank you so much Brittany, I really really love ❤️ that dress, and it looks stunning and gorgeous too on you. I really really love ❤️ the material you’ve used too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Very pretty! It's lovely on you. The color suits you very well. I wish I could get my patterns to fit me as well as yours do. Your clothes always look like they came right off the rack at a high end store.
Beautiful dress Brittany, love the pattern and your Choice of fabric. Thank you for showing how to sew it together, very helpful information. I think the the only change I would make for myself from the pattern is ,sew the bottom ruffle on right sides together after you have gathered up. Sew up a long 1” finished tube( like your making a belt) gather that piece up , sew on top of seam of dress and ruffle. That way you don’t see any of the wrong side of the fabric when finished. Love watching your videos 🥰
I really love that you don't add music to your sew along tutorials! Very nicely done! Lovely dress! I'm getting ready to make a shirred top! It's all cut out, now I just need to do a practice swatch!
👋 Brittany. Thank you so much for your instructional tutorials. So clear and simple to follow. I have just started sewing garments and this is like learning a new language 🤔 Definitely purchasing the pattern for today. 🙏 . Kia Ora from New Zealand
I love the floral print! I've only been sewing for 5 months, so this is a bit above my skill level. But I see this dress and technique in my future. Thanks
Wow they look so good on you! I'm waiting for my fabric to arrive, so in order to not lose my spirit, i'm watching lots of shirred dress videos, and yours looked really pretty, and you look genuinely hapy & proud wearing it! That happiness is infectious & keep my fighting spirit on (just because i heard shirring rows after rows after rows can be draining lol)
This dress is really cute. I'm inclined to think ill create the channel for the neck line but not put elastic in until after I finish the shirring. I think it might be easier, what do you think? Is there a construction reason to put the elastic in first?
If you can find a bodkin, it makes inserting elastic so easy. Now that I gave you a hint, maybe you can tell me how you always manage to choose the prettiest fabric.
Learned something brand new: reinforcing the shoulders at the circles! Thank you!! The dress seems rather low cut, to me, wd uou hv any suggestions for better bust coverage?
Such a beautiful dress! I made a raglan sleeve elasticized-neckline cotton blouse from Butterick R10632. If I were to start shirring 1/2" below the neckline as you did and go around and around, I would have to shirr the sleeves also. What do you suggest?
Hi Brittany! This video taught me so much! You did such a beautiful job! Question about the shirring, did you back stitch at all? Or was sewing the sides enough to hold it in place?
Hi Brittany, I have a beautiful yellow cotton voile I would love use to make this dress with. My concern is do I use 100% cotton or poly cotton to line the material as it is a bit see through? Suggest a liner that is good for hot weather and as it is lined can the fabric withstand the shirring?
Q: For the sheering of the bodice piece.......are the pattern pieces cut out differently or still follow pattern to cu them......? The fabric you chose was perfect for this style.......print design really complemented this dress. Master seamstress at work.........🥰 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹
Hi there! Great tutorial and beautiful dress! I noticed on the sleeve you said to baste, which we know is temporary. Did you mean to say stitch? Or do you go back at the end and sew it permanently after making some adjustment?
This was such a great tutorial and I've ordered the pattern. I just wondered if you had any advice as I'd need to wear a bra with this but it just occurred to me with the square neckline the straps may pop out?
This is 2nd dress you’ve made I never would have selected before seeing your make! So pretty! I notice u have a walking foot on your sewing machine. Is this something you use a lot?
Q: When u sewing the shirring Is that a straight stitch? When u sew on ruffle do u sew above or below the gathering stitch? Thanks Nice dress and sew alone
Thank you! Correct, when shirring, I am using a straight stitch, just lengthening the stitch to a 3.5. Nothing else changed with the stitch. And yes, for the ruffle, I am sewing the ruffle directly on the gathering row. If it helps to be able to remove the gathers after you've sewn the stitch, you can stitch a little beside it, but I sewed right onto the gathers.
Hi Britney, I made a top using this pattern but had alot of bother with the sleeves. Where you cut into the notch on the fabric actually ripped. I didn't add the bias binding at the top of the bodice as I used the shirring and didn't think I needed it. Did you have any problems with the sleeves. I love your version and want to try it again. Thank you.
Geraldine Gorman hi Geraldine, I’m sorry to hear about the sleeve issues. So did you just do a narrow hem at the top or how did you finish the top of the bodice. Also I didn’t have any issues with the sleeves but I did go back just to stitch a little closer to the clip when I attached the bias tape, to prevent any stress at the area.
@@brittanyjjonestv yes I did do a narrow hem as I though when I was shirring the whole bodice the bias might be bulky! I am giving it another go and this time using bias tape so hopefully it will work ok. Thank you for replying 💕
This is such a cute dress and you look so cute in it! I got confused with the last ruffle on the bottom. Did you put right sides together, or did you place the ruffle on top of the right side of the skirt of the dress and then sew it? Also, when you sewed the shirring did you tie off at each end or did you sew continuously from the top to the bottom? Thanks so much for this video. I learned new things and that's what I like about your videos!
Thank you for watching! Sorry the confusion. Yes I placed the ruffle on top of the right side of the dress and then stitched it. Thats why I went ahead and serged the raw edge of the dress hem. And you stitch it in place lining up the gathering row of the ruffle to the placement line of the dress. Also yes, after each row, I backed stitched and started a new row. Once I was done with the shirring, I did a straight stitch down a side seam just for peace of mind.
Hi Could I ask, as you are shirring this pattern, did you start with a larger size pattern from the onset? As you said that the fabric needs to be 1.5 times the width of bust measurement, I take it the pattern wouldn't be quite that wide, I'm a bit confused by this. Thank you, I would love to make this and already have this pattern, but I don't quite understand how you're meeting the 1.5 increase. X
Hi Brittany! I decided to try this after watching your tutorial, but there is one thing I keep having to unpick: the sleeve corner. I can't quite see if the two bias channels are supposed to connect and how - on first attempt I ended up with the raw edge of clipped corner exposed, the second time around I got a weird fold once everything was turned to the right side. Do you have any tips on how to do it?
Karolina Szuchnik hi Karolina! That part is a little troublesome to get the bias tape sewn on and have a clean finish. I stitch really close to that clipped edge, even sewing a little on the bias tape from the sleeve. I’ll upload a close up pic for you too see on the community tab on my channel. Uploading it now.
This was a wonderful tutorial. I'm so bummed though because I didn't trace out the elastic pattern piece for the sleeve, for some reason I was thinking I didn't need it and it was for the bodice. And I don't feel like printing and taping all the pattern pieces again 😭 sigh. Looks like I'll need to make another order from pdf printing lol
Oh duh. I realized all I had to do was print the pages that made up that pattern piece for the elastic intead of doing the whole thing again LOL. I do have a question though. Do you think it's possible for the sleeves to skip the bias tape around the curved edge and just fold the edge over to make a casing??
Hi Brittany, I am new to sewing and just wanted to thank for such a great and easy to follow tutorial for your dress. Love 💕 the material. I am subscribed but it won’t allow me to set to receive notifications when you upload a video.

Cuuuuuute Brit Brit!! 😄🥰
Great job! Thanks for the tutorial.

Fabulous, twirl that dress sis!

Beautiful!

Beautiful.

If you can find a bodkin, it makes inserting elastic so easy. Now that I gave you a hint, maybe you can tell me how you always manage to choose the prettiest fabric.
Lol. I actually have a bodkin already, I'm just a safety pin girl. lol! And I honestly just search online and whatever jumps out at me, I buy it!
Learned something brand new: reinforcing the shoulders at the circles! Thank you!! The dress seems rather low cut, to me, wd uou hv any suggestions for better bust coverage?

Beautiful dress. You made me laugh as in. Australia we pronounce "shirring" as "shering" as in "curling". It sounds so cute the way you say it.

Heyyy! Sorry I missed your question!! Yes I cut everything out the same. I didn’t change anything to the pattern pieces. Thanks for watching!
做得真好，穿上漂亮！！
Hi there! Great tutorial and beautiful dress! I noticed on the sleeve you said to baste, which we know is temporary. Did you mean to say stitch? Or do you go back at the end and sew it permanently after making some adjustment?
Hi Brittany , did you are more fabric than the pattern required to do the shirring? The video shows that you cut it according to the pattern peice.
This was such a great tutorial and I've ordered the pattern. I just wondered if you had any advice as I'd need to wear a bra with this but it just occurred to me with the square neckline the straps may pop out?
This is 2nd dress you’ve made I never would have selected before seeing your make! So pretty!
