Wonderful job. I love it. As a plus size lady, I sometimes find my skirt bottom edge doesn't fit on the fabric. So... I piece it. Piecing fabric is historical so why not modern too.
That is a really cute dress! Great tip to look at the actual finished sizes when there is so much ease! One of the things I look at when trying to pick the right size is the back shoulder measurement. You picked the right size and your shoulder seams are sitting in the right place. It’s not the only thing to consider, but it can help guide your choice of sizes. It’s rarely listed so you have to just print the pattern and measure, but I find it really helpful.
Dress looks fantastic on you! Love your choice of material. The step by step instructions you provide, along with your calm voice, are extremely beneficial. Thank you for the tutorial and another great video. See you soon.
It’s so adorable on you! Your fabric choice is so fun! I just finished a Lydia Deetz themed shirtwaist and have at least 5 more planned. They are absolutely beautiful on all sizes and shapes. Super versatile too. They can be fun and playful or business appropriate depending on your fabric choices.
Such a nice pattern! It’s fits you so well! The way you handled the placket was genius! When you were thinking it through, I wondered if you had enough to piece it together so that you could strategically place the “piecing seams” behind buttons and/or at the waist. Just a thought! I would have been in the car immediately to buy a piece of tan or brown remnant at Walmart, or something from a thrift store!
Such a cute dress! The fabric pattern is adorably spooky yet refined. Perfect. I don't like buttonholes by machine either. That's mainly what keeps me from making a shirtwaist dress. Given the gracious ease of the Mood pattern, your adjustment for fewer buttons should work for me too. Mood patterns are ones I definitely pay attention to the finished measurements when deciding what size to cut out. They do tend to err on too much ease.
You're is so cute! I made one that should have buttons but i didn't have any in the right size. i just sewed the placket closed and haven't bothered to get buttons for months. Might not ever get them. I'd need 15 or 20 i think to go the length of the dress for the look. It's a lot and I'm lazy... Oh well. 😆
@@PocketFullofPoseys same, but also the buttons for my dress would just be decorative at this point so I'm even less motivated to bother with them. I've got other things I want to make instead. The dress has been worn 15 times already without buttons a bit longer won't hurt. 🤣
For future fabric shortages (cos we all know it happens), why not make the button plackets in a completely contrasting fabric like a lot of mens expensive shirts do? Let the gape show gorgeous colour differences. Maybe not for the front placket if that's not your way, but why not the pocket? Or the under collar? Save the main fabric for the main pieces.
Well done! The shirtdress came out great. Hope you didn’t get much damage from the storm. We are 4.5 days without power from Helene; the most I ever did in Louisiana was 5 days without power. I think this outage will beat my record.
Another hit! 😁. I really like this dress on you. You’ve inspired me to add this pattern to my list once my Halloween costume is done. Thank you so much!
It’s a 2nd bustle era dress with a peacock theme. 😁. I’ve been making the underpinnings and everything since spring. Just the bodice and hat left to go!
I appreciate the free patterns but it helps to know what you doing. My fav is the fleur bathrobe. I have a ton of shirtwaists but I am at the point that I hate button hole making.
Love the dress you did a good job, got the pattern will do it eventually I’m in the middle of cleaning up the sewing area and it takes me a while because of my health thank you
Technically a shirtwaist dress doesn’t require it to button all the way, just to the waist is a must of course. Personally I agree with your design choices. I always leave out side pockets because I never use them and I think it’s a sloppy look. No hate please just my opinion pertaining to my body shape. The dress is adorable! Love it! ♥️👍🤓
I downloaded the pattern in 2022 and never used it. Now that I see how cute it is , it's time to get to work. Your fabric choice is fabulous. The finished dress looks great on you. I have to admit that if I could find that fabric, I would use it. But being up in Canada with different suppliers, it would be almost an impossibility. So I'll just have to find something just as cute.
I love this dress, and you did an amazing job on it! Where in Louisiana are you? I’m in Baton Rouge, and we were fine for Francine. I think we lost electricity for a few hours overnight, but that was it.
That looks wonderful on you.... very cute!
@@Melodyflea Thank you!
I literally just downloaded that pattern not a half hour ago. You made it look so easy. I am ready to tackle it.
@@singingtick Yay! Best of luck with your dress!

@@patriciakellyadams134 Thank you! Piecing is definitely an option!
Wonderful job on the dress! Love the fabric and your belt is the perfect pop of colour. Best of all, you look so happy wearing it 😃

@@jeansando6849 Great tip! Thanks!
This pattern is very flattering on you. Does everyone look amazing in shirtwaist dresses? And is that why they are so popular?
@@TruFlyFox Thank you! I think they work for everyone!

looks great! I use a lot of free patterns, because low income. Some patterns companies have better instructions then others.

I love this style of dress, hopefully I can make it as a new(brand new) beginner. With some help. It's so pretty and looks good on most people.

@@lighteningbug It's very comfortable! ❤️
We have the same measurements, can I borrow the dress? lol I love it! Looks great on you!
@@greyhaircrafter 😃 Thank you!
Very pretty dress, I love shirt waist dresses but don't wear them as I have a big symmetry and they just look odd.❤

It's the 30th of September and I am in the midst of this pattern myself! It might end up being shirtwaist October
@@WatchedPlot That's ok, too! ❤️
The dress came out great! Where did you get that fabric? I love it.
@@msviolet9 I ordered it online. It's an Alexander Henry print.
I love this dress, and you did an amazing job on it!

@@SSBankester Abita Springs, so we didn't get much of anything, just rain.
Is it cool enough to wear in the Louisiana heat? Looks very nice and the contrasting pieces don't show at all. Good job!
@@lauralazar659 It is nice and cool! Thank you!
