Please. Please. Please. Put it on the list!!! That dress looks like it would be perfect for mothers that are nursing or pumping. Take it from a mom that had to give up because there’s almost no clothes (that are in the right price range) that would allow the portable breast pumps to fit under. ❤❤❤
I hadn't even thought of the nursing access and it's so true! These adjustable clothes ideas are just so perfect for so many stages of life, without alterations! It's like clothing that's intended to be functional and practical 😂 crazy right?
Man, I hate that you had to give up pumping because of that. Just had my first baby and thankfully I own several button down shirts and dresses already or I'd be panicking. It's so hard to figure out what to wear!! How do you see this dress being breastfeeding friendly? I don't see that. I wouldn't want to unwrap the whole front panel just to access the milk zone 😂
@@KHomestead with how the top completely opens, you can put a small tie on the sides under the sashes for when the dress is open so that you can easily feed the baby without being exposed. I’m a mom of three. The first one got breast feed for a month. The second three weeks. The third came 15 years later than the others and by that time there wasn’t clothes that would work for someone who is plus size without being almost completely exposed. I’m so glad that people like Charlie are putting things out that could really help.
I am pregnant and I 💯 want a pattern for this dress. I may or may not have sent your reel to a maternity pattern designer with the request that you two collab to bring this pattern to life. I have tested for her before and would 💯 test this if y’all did.
Absolutely 'Yes, please!' for a tutorial. I alternate between wearing modern undergarments and wearing a corset under my dresses a few times a week as the mood strikes, so a highly adjustable dress like this would be perfection!
I have no idea how your “wingin’ it” method gets such excellent results, time after time, but you totally rocked that dress. That dress is such a flattering design; you are obviously underselling your skill as a sewist😉!
That dress is so freaking cute!!! 😍 I love the print and the colourway, and the fact that it's a woven fabric gives it extra polish making it look so professional! I think I prefer it when you just tied it on the back as it shows off that gorgeous front bodice. That said, having the option to tie it either way makes it look like two different dresses. Well done Charlie!
Yes for more tutorial-ish video! While I got almost everything, there are still things like how did you determine the length of the sash, did you just wrap yourself with measuring tape or was it happy accident that it's perfect length? And if you could try to make version with sleeves that would be cool, because I don't know where they should start and stop so they would actually look like sleeves.
Yes to the wrapping myself with a measuring tape! Sometimes, I just use whatever amount of fabric I have left (and usually end up making them way too long) but on this one, I held the tape to my side seam, wrapped it around the back and to the front, added a bit for a knot, and then went off that measurement!
Okay, this is legit glorious!!! It fits you beautifully and the design is chef's kiss! I may actually attempt to pattern this out for myself. Such a creative make! And I must confess, I felt immense relief when you said you prewashed this particular fabric...cotton wovens love to shrink! 😂 So thank you for that memo!
5:10 apologizing to the chair. these moments are what I appreciate about your content. you dont redo or edit it out. the funny silly small moments. Peak! and +1 to the algorithm gods
I love the fact that whenever I think about construction of how to make something adjustable, think about it for months, and thena video of yours appears out of nowhere which tackles most of my concerns. First with skirts, second with dresses. Now I just have to wait until you make a project about detachable sleeves! 👀
Finally! Someone else who understands my, "noooo, not my daylight, give it back!" reaction to fall. (Halloween is the best though, so I guess fall can stay.)
Wow. This one turned out so adorable! I loved it with it tied in the back. Looked so polished, yet comfy. And you rock the length. Of course, we want more detail as we all want to make our own! LOL. Big Hugs
Yes, please, do a more in depth tutorial at some point. I love your videos - you've got me back into sewing clothes again after many years just doing curtains and cushion covers and stuff. The dress looks fabulous on you - and you look great in it.
I’m loving this dress so much and want one. Totally hoping you make a pattern. In the meantime, I’ll rewatch and see if I can translate this into my size.
Your comment about love songs, and what might happen to current songs in 50 years ago, reminded me of a comment made by a stand up comedian at a gig we went to see. Basically he was Staithes case that the time is coming when playing wartime songs in care homes isn't going to cut it anymore because the people in the homes weren't alive during the war, which led to him reflecting on what some of the songs might be playing when our generation (those of us born in the 70's), are in care homes. x
Genius. I love how 'whole' and elegant the final dress looks. If I understand correctly, you ended up giving it... 3 sets of pockets ? 2 on the inside, plus the smaller ones, and 2 on the outside ? YES TUTORIAL PLEASE
What the heck was Matt doing on the floor? 😂😂😂 I love that dress and definitely we need more. You always make me smile with your chatter. Thanks for all the joy you bring to my life.
Charlie, you're such a creative clothing designer and sewist! You seem so fearless when it comes to ✂️ cutting normally, that seeing you hesitate showed how much you valued the gift of fabric. It was completely relatable!❤❤❤
The dress came out SO COOL! I'm thrilled with the video -- thank you so much for all your kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed partnering with you on this project! And I loved your story at the end -- yes, you ARE a RUclipsr, and a very good one at that. 🥰
OMG! You're the artist who created the fabric design? It's such a wonderful color and texture combination! Thanks for partnering with Charlie. Your fabric design plus her dress design creativity are a perfect match for this dress. And I LOVE that you followed up to comment!❤❤❤
@@luminariastormreaver Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear how much you like my work. ☺ And I agree -- her creativity is outstanding and she did an amazing job on this dress -- I'm a big fan!
Hey Lori! Thank you so much for the beautiful fabric - I love it and so it seems does everyone else! Thank you for gifting me with your beautiful artwork in wearable form!
This design is so fun! I love the coverage you got on the underarm and that it worked out! I would love a tutorial-ish for this style! I'm very new to sewing but this kind of style would be right up my alley!
Congratulations!!! You will like the movement you get from the extra bodice length. I need to shorten my front bodice, myself, but a friend needs the length. The whole point of making your own stuff is the power to make things you don’t have to think about while you’re wearing them. No more tugging on stuff to make it feel like it’s looking correct.
Cool dress and love the look of that fabric. If I were making this dress, I'd definitely make that bodice a little longer and make that skirt 8-10 inches longer. Beautiful job on your lovely dress
Love this idea. As a bigger person I would love to make this dress myself in lots of different fabrics so I have clothes that fit me! Please put it on your list for your style of tutorial 😊❤
I absolutely need a tutorial on this one omg this is the exact silhouette I LOVE and can't find any dresses for a decent price that aren't just cheaply thrown together knits! I would legit buy a tutorial/instructions/pattern and make an entire wardrobe of these in different cotton prints!!!! 😭💖😭💖😭💖
Yes, please! More split side dresses! I’ve been thinking of making one of these for my sister, who is losing weight and changing sizes. I have some ideas but I haven’t done anything yet. It would help a lot to see your construction methods!
Best results ever!! That is attractive, flattering and the fabric is perfectly suited to its purpose. Both the shoulder and the length suit you to a T. I wouldn’t change a thing
Brilliant! *mentally scanning my fabric stash* Where I live, it's a chilly day that doesn't break 90F, and cotton is always cooler than synthetic knits, so this is a version that I can really copy. Thank you!
This dress is adorable and the fabric is cute but the best part of the video is your story at the end and how happy you were about it :):) what a great milestone, personally and professionally, congratulations!
Love watching you. Chaos works for you. A tip for your needles, buy sharps rather than universal ones, for woven fabrics (still the smaller size as needed) and ball point for knits. Makes sewing that much easier with the right needle for the fabric.
You are fearless! I would have stroked if I cut into anything without a pattern! 😂 The dress is beautiful! You are so young and pretty … the skirt length is perfect on you. And yay! You are a RUclipsr! You’ve said it and now it is so! I love watching your channel. Congratulations again on your new home! ❤ Diann
The dress looks fantastic on you. You did an amazing job. The fabric is stunning. Looking forward to the tutorial as I am most interested in how you did the shoulder seams from a reel you saw. Went looking for one but couldn’t find it. Would like a different option besides burrito method. Love your videos and you inspired me so that I bought your favorite dress pattern and made a 1800 degree circle dress.
OMG! That dress is just so fabulous! I absolutely love the gathered bodice over darts. As an older (68) woman who doesn’t alway wear a bra due to certain physical issues it would be perfect. I wish I could find a bra pattern made that way. Thanks for another wonderful video.
It's fabulous! I would love love love you putting a more detailed tutorial-ish video for this dress on the long list of things you'd like to do :) Just as a nice excuse to go make a few more of these dresses :) I personally much prefer woven fabrics over knit so it certainly would help me finally make myself a few adjustable dresses :) thank you so much for doing this video though, I understand there are you promises for ever getting to a more detailed version so if this ends up being the only one, I'm just glad we have this one ;) Thank you so much, wishing you many many more amazing and creative adventures. (also, I made two splitside skirts based on your video and absolutely love them, so thank you again for those videos too!)
Aw I love hearing that people are trying the split side skirt! I will definitely get to work on a tutorial for the dress soon - I kinda expected there to be interest, but I always like to wait and see. I'm actually really looking forward to making it, cause I want some more!
Yes please to the tutorial! I'm very much excited for the split-side pants too!! I'm a novice at sewing(I am going at it at snail pace, lol) and your videos are super inspiring ❤
Yes pleeease, make a tutorial! The dress is sooo flippin´ cute! I just love your videos and your personality in them - and was so happy to hear you saying you were a RUclipsr - of course you are, and a great one at that! (Also, relieved to hear you prewashed your fabric 😅 - I don´t do it when I sew handbags and backpacks but for quilts and clothes, I always do...). Keep up the amazing work, Charlie!
The fabric is glorious! Cotton lawn is my favourite fabric type, and this print is amazing 😍 The style looks fab on you. No way would I have the courage (craziness?) to cut straight into precious fabric without making a paper pattern and then a muslin... But it turned out brilliantly. Well done!
This is fantastic! I’ve been wanting to do something just like this dress for so long but I do not trust my drafting abilities enough. I would love a more in-depth video, whenever you get to it! It would be interesting to know if you could do this with a gathered skirt, or longer? Just different ideas. The dress is gorgeous ❤
Please do another tutorial! I would love to see some flowy sleeves, maybe of a coordinating color of a sheer fabric. I'm even imagining them being detachable and having some detachable ruffle tiers for the length!
Goodness yes to the tutorial! I am HOOKED! I want to make this and all the variations to this! And that fabric is *seriously* gorgeous and perfect for this dress. *Chefs kiss* This was a fun video! I'm glad I found you!
How did you do that? That dress is so flattering on your figure. The length is absolutely perfect. With that fuller skirt and it ending where it does, it’s just chefs kiss. That fabric is absolutely gorgeous too. Fine work my dear.
I am so glad you did this video! I want to make me a dress for our Renaissance Fair coming up in February. ❤ I was thinking how can I make this work for me to have 1 complete dress I can change into. And here it is! Thank you so much!😊 I hope mine turns out right. ❤❤
I would love to watch this again, or with more details, when I am actually awake. I am trying to wind down from a 22 hour in/out flying visit that my husband made for me from his job.
Oh my goodness I love this! I see the same issue with the wrap pinafore design (wrap things in general really). This has me wanting to try to make it! Please consider the tutorial. I could mostly figure it out but a dedicated explanation would be a big help for sure
This is very cute! I like the fact that the fabric isn't completely a solid colour, but still has a solid appearance. I'm not sure that makes sense. It's a pattern, but it's not overwhelming.
To easily make a very narrow hem on a circle skirt, use double fold bias tape. Sew it on the skirt, right sides together , using the fold as your guide for the seam width. Turn the tape to the inside, press, and then top stitch to catch it. You can also press one of the folds open before beginning to allow you to have wider topstitching.
Split side dress!!! Also, wrangling sleeves onto a split side dress because I want a modest version for myself. Something with minimum half-bicep sleeves.
Im going to cry. Perfect dress. Perfect skirt. No sewing skill and no time for another life-consuming hobby. I already have too many of those. Saving my pennies to commission a seamstress to make several of your dresses 😭
Yes yes yes a tutorial and maybe even a pattern. I' ve watched all of your videos about the the side split..... and still have no clue how te recreate it for myself.😅 Oh yeh, by the way, I love your content. Thank you for being so entertaining. ❤
24:39 THIS IS THE EXACT REASON I WAS YELLING "YES" WHEN YOU ASKED THAT AT THE BEGINNING. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE RE: PERFECT BODICES. (Bodiceeees? Bodice... outcomes?? Pff, whatever, let's not pretend I'm any better at learning from my experiences (winging it is never a mistake in our world, right?)). Anyway the important part is it turned out SO WELL and it's LOVELY and looks so good on! You nailed this one--and with woven fabric no less. Another level up! Also important: how relatable your delight at ripping the fabric is. ...Also also: Team Chaos
I love everything about this. The fabric, the print, the style, the construction. It's perfect. I'd enjoy a thorough tutorial. Please add it to the docket.
I set up the ironing board at the same height as, and right beside my sewing table, so now I can swivel around slightly on my chair and iron seams and folds as I go! Gertie here on RUclips showed me this setup, and I love it! I like not having to get up and also having everything I need right next to me :) Just sharing in case anyone else are bad at ironing when we should lol
I love the dress! It looks super cute on you! The pattern and the fabric go really well together! I think I'm gonna try to make something similar 👀 A tutorial would be super helpful! Especially on adjusting the arm hole for sleeves or no sleeves Btw, thank you for taking the time to add/adjust the subtitles. It's really helpful and also just really funny *mouth farts*
What a beautiful fabric and a great dress! By the way, if you are curious what modern songs played in a retro style (1950s, 1960s) sound like, I highly recommend Postmodern Jukebox :)
I am sooooooo happy i procrastinated trying to do this same idea that i had when your split side pinafore video came out Cuz now i'm gunna adapt the patterning idea i came up with for it a bit because i like how you did your bodice better!❤❤❤
According to the darts video by TheClosetHistorian, doing gathering like you did is still doing darts! I'm still very confused about the rest of the construction but I'm super happy for you that it worked out. I'm always learning something from your vids!
This is literately prefect timing. I just bought fabric for a dress. Now, I have the inspiration of how I might want to design it. Your result is absolutely amazing. I looks fabulous.
Please. Please. Please. Put it on the list!!! That dress looks like it would be perfect for mothers that are nursing or pumping. Take it from a mom that had to give up because there’s almost no clothes (that are in the right price range) that would allow the portable breast pumps to fit under. ❤❤❤
I hadn't even thought of the nursing access and it's so true! These adjustable clothes ideas are just so perfect for so many stages of life, without alterations! It's like clothing that's intended to be functional and practical 😂 crazy right?

Man, I hate that you had to give up pumping because of that. Just had my first baby and thankfully I own several button down shirts and dresses already or I'd be panicking. It's so hard to figure out what to wear!!

A version with sleeves would be *incredible*!
This one is my favorite ever! Super cute on you!

And I must confess, I felt immense relief when you said you prewashed this particular fabric...cotton wovens love to shrink! 😂 So thank you for that memo!
i'm feeling the same way! it's such a cute design and i'm feeling super inspired by how lovely charlie's looks 😄
You’ve basically improved the wrap around dress!
5:10 apologizing to the chair. these moments are what I appreciate about your content. you dont redo or edit it out. the funny silly small moments. Peak! and +1 to the algorithm gods
This looks like a fantastic maternity dress! Fully adjustable for all levels of belly.

What the heck was Matt doing on the floor? 😂😂😂
I love that dress and definitely we need more.
You always make me smile with your chatter. Thanks for all the joy you bring to my life.
I think it was, " hi, honey I'm home" action
Bahahaha we're always rolling around on the floor with the puppy
This is amazing! Love the combo design with just ONE skirt to deal with! Great for nursing, weight change, and just something different!
Charlie, you're such a creative clothing designer and sewist! You seem so fearless when it comes to ✂️ cutting normally, that seeing you hesitate showed how much you valued the gift of fabric. It was completely relatable!❤❤❤
My brain: 👀
Me, sternly: No! No more new sewing projects until we finish something!
This turned out hella cute!

You have inspired me to learn to sew. Loved this dress. Please tutorial!!
Yes, please! More split side dresses! I’ve been thinking of making one of these for my sister, who is losing weight and changing sizes. I have some ideas but I haven’t done anything yet. It would help a lot to see your construction methods!
Absolutely, yes. My elderly mother would find this so easy to put on.
This just sounds crazy. I can’t stop watching. Talk about entertaining, this is the definition of entertainment. You are so brave.
Best results ever!! That is attractive, flattering and the fabric is perfectly suited to its purpose. Both the shoulder and the length suit you to a T. I wouldn’t change a thing

Pleeeeeese longer tutorial and thank you. That dress is so cute 😆 and so many pockets!
I would love a tutorial! I'd really love to make a thousand of these!!!
❤the print is beautiful, looks almost like a soft denim on screen. And you did a beautiful job on the dress. Definitely make more for yourself.
This dress is adorable and the fabric is cute but the best part of the video is your story at the end and how happy you were about it :):) what a great milestone, personally and professionally, congratulations!
I’d love to see your bodice block journey and see what you end up designing from it!I love the shorter length. Good call, Matt!

Yes please do a tutorial! I liven the southern hemisphere & we're just coming up to summer, and I would LOVE to add some of these to my wardrobe!!!!!!
Hi there, RUclipsr; THAT is adorable! And it's a great success! Love the fabrics at Spoonflower and you are blessed to be gifted this one!
This is fantastic! I’ve been wanting to do something just like this dress for so long but I do not trust my drafting abilities enough. I would love a more in-depth video, whenever you get to it! It would be interesting to know if you could do this with a gathered skirt, or longer? Just different ideas. The dress is gorgeous ❤
wow, hands down the most beautiful dress (and fabric) you have ever made!! You look amazing!!
Please do another tutorial! I would love to see some flowy sleeves, maybe of a coordinating color of a sheer fabric. I'm even imagining them being detachable and having some detachable ruffle tiers for the length!
Goodness yes to the tutorial! I am HOOKED! I want to make this and all the variations to this! And that fabric is *seriously* gorgeous and perfect for this dress. *Chefs kiss*
This was a fun video! I'm glad I found you!
Please add it to the list! Also just wanted to say I really appreciate your detailed captions. Keep up the stellar work!
How did you do that? That dress is so flattering on your figure. The length is absolutely perfect. With that fuller skirt and it ending where it does, it’s just chefs kiss. That fabric is absolutely gorgeous too. Fine work my dear.
Yes, this is so cute. I have such admiration fof the way you just jump in without a paper pattern.
I love a good ruffle but that was a great call leaving it off. This one falls right under the patchwork dress. 😍
Yes, please break it down! It looks amazing!❤
Yes please put it on the list! I want to make my whole wardrobe adjustable!!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has to put up the hair when I really mean business.
Violet Beaudelaire move.
Possibly my favorite style you made, so far…and I have loved everything!! Yes, on the tutorial please 💚
Yes!! Tutorial please!! Possibly your best make yet? It's super cute! 🥰
This split side dress is amazing. I need this in my life
I am so glad you did this video! I want to make me a dress for our Renaissance Fair coming up in February. ❤ I was thinking how can I make this work for me to have 1 complete dress I can change into. And here it is! Thank you so much!😊 I hope mine turns out right. ❤❤
Yes please to a tutorial! I am also looking forward to seeing how you add sleeves, because I want to make this but I definitely would want sleeves.
I would love to learn how to make this pattern for myself. Such a cute dress. The bodice would work so well for my shape!!!
I would love to watch this again, or with more details, when I am actually awake. I am trying to wind down from a 22 hour in/out flying visit that my husband made for me from his job.
Oh my goodness I love this! I see the same issue with the wrap pinafore design (wrap things in general really). This has me wanting to try to make it! Please consider the tutorial. I could mostly figure it out but a dedicated explanation would be a big help for sure
Yes, please make a tutorial on that type of skirt/wrap dress! I would like to make one someday and may not be as good at figuring it out as you were!
This is very cute! I like the fact that the fabric isn't completely a solid colour, but still has a solid appearance. I'm not sure that makes sense. It's a pattern, but it's not overwhelming.
I'm so gad that you like it. :)
To easily make a very narrow hem on a circle skirt, use double fold bias tape. Sew it on the skirt, right sides together , using the fold as your guide for the seam width. Turn the tape to the inside, press, and then top stitch to catch it. You can also press one of the folds open before beginning to allow you to have wider topstitching.
I had the same thought. Thanks for posting it!
Would love a more detailed tutorial for this!
Great dress, looks fantastic
Thanks for having full captions on the video! It really means a lot to me
Put it on the list, put it on the list please, please, please! This dress is so freaking adorable! ❤
Yes! I'd love a tutorial! It all makes sense until I start trying to math it out for myself.
Put it high on the list for tutorials! I definitely want one!
Yes yes yes for a tutorial. I am busty and dart patterns never fit right!! I need to try this but more guidance would be awesome.
Split side dress!!! Also, wrangling sleeves onto a split side dress because I want a modest version for myself. Something with minimum half-bicep sleeves.
I absolutely love this! Love the fabric, love the style. A million percent yes please to a future tutorial. You inspire me.
This is such a beautiful dress!
I would definitely make one if you make a tutorial.
Wowzer. I love this dress! And the print is awesome, too. I'll have to watch this again to get it figured.
You are a hoot. I'd so sew/wear this in a heartbeat
Im going to cry. Perfect dress. Perfect skirt. No sewing skill and no time for another life-consuming hobby. I already have too many of those. Saving my pennies to commission a seamstress to make several of your dresses 😭
Yes yes yes a tutorial and maybe even a pattern. I' ve watched all of your videos about the the side split..... and still have no clue how te recreate it for myself.😅
Oh yeh, by the way, I love your content. Thank you for being so entertaining. ❤
24:39 THIS IS THE EXACT REASON I WAS YELLING "YES" WHEN YOU ASKED THAT AT THE BEGINNING. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE RE: PERFECT BODICES. (Bodiceeees? Bodice... outcomes?? Pff, whatever, let's not pretend I'm any better at learning from my experiences (winging it is never a mistake in our world, right?)).
Anyway the important part is it turned out SO WELL and it's LOVELY and looks so good on! You nailed this one--and with woven fabric no less. Another level up! Also important: how relatable your delight at ripping the fabric is.
...Also also: Team Chaos
I love everything about this. The fabric, the print, the style, the construction. It's perfect. I'd enjoy a thorough tutorial. Please add it to the docket.
I set up the ironing board at the same height as, and right beside my sewing table, so now I can swivel around slightly on my chair and iron seams and folds as I go! Gertie here on RUclips showed me this setup, and I love it! I like not having to get up and also having everything I need right next to me :) Just sharing in case anyone else are bad at ironing when we should lol
Oo.... okay that is a fabulous idea. If I don't have to get up, there is way more chance of me actually ironing.
I love the dress! It looks super cute on you! The pattern and the fabric go really well together! I think I'm gonna try to make something similar 👀 A tutorial would be super helpful! Especially on adjusting the arm hole for sleeves or no sleeves
Btw, thank you for taking the time to add/adjust the subtitles. It's really helpful and also just really funny *mouth farts*
Absolutely love this dress!! Beautiful work, design, and fabric!!
So very awesome!!! Love to see you settling into your house and making it a home!!
Ohhh it looks sooo soo chique and comfortabel!! Please consider making a pattern❤
Yes please! Put it on the list❤. Thank you😁
I love this and the pattern is super cool!! Definity would love a tutorial on this!! I am for sure adding this to my personal projects list!
What a beautiful fabric and a great dress! By the way, if you are curious what modern songs played in a retro style (1950s, 1960s) sound like, I highly recommend Postmodern Jukebox :)
I am sooooooo happy i procrastinated trying to do this same idea that i had when your split side pinafore video came out
Cuz now i'm gunna adapt the patterning idea i came up with for it a bit because i like how you did your bodice better!❤❤❤
According to the darts video by TheClosetHistorian, doing gathering like you did is still doing darts! I'm still very confused about the rest of the construction but I'm super happy for you that it worked out. I'm always learning something from your vids!
Oh yes, please put it in the list! I need to make that!
This is literately prefect timing. I just bought fabric for a dress. Now, I have the inspiration of how I might want to design it. Your result is absolutely amazing. I looks fabulous.
