    You do the best sewing tutorials on the internet! I think this looks more like a bridesmaid’s dress than a sundress, but it is lovely nonetheless.

    Looks good. I like the sheer fabric for the sleeves. And I really enjoyed and appreciated watching you add a lining. It seems a little difficult for me to find fabrics that are opaque enough to use for clothing that would be comfortable to wear. Your instructions on adding that lining will encourage me.

    It came out really nice. As you say, it has a much earlier period look. Very becoming. A lot of extra work to add the lining but well worth it.

  • @skirtedgalleons
    @skirtedgalleons 2 года назад +7

    Your videos are perfect sewing lessons with lots of extra tips on techniques and most importantly, how to adjust on the fly. That adjustment to the back hem was so instructive: that is, thinking about how a piece fits on the body. Great video, thank you!

    Your dress is beautiful and looks great on you. It brought back memories of the 70's. I was newly married. My cousin and I went to see the movie The Stepford Wife's. And fell in love with the dresses they were wearing at the supermarket. We went home and each of us made one of those dresses. LOL The dresses were very similar to the one you made, ours were ankle length.

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 года назад +2

      Oh yes! So I know that the Stepford Wives were supposed to be the creepy ones in the movie, but they did dress really nice. And those hats!!!

      Hi Gina. I would consider myself to be largely "self taught" in that there was not one particular place or method I studied... I have sewn personally and at times professionally for most of my life and truly love the process :)

    Hi Marie my name is Rosie (from tailoring by Rosie) I have been in business for 30 years and love love your videos I have almost watched all of them and although I know how to sew I always learn something from you when it comes to sewing from a pattern. Well my question is what pattern did you use when you made the blue dress you are wearing love the color and the style. Thank you😊

    @faithmathingsdal79 2 года назад +1

    You so fancy!! ;) A beautiful finished garment and worth all the extra effort. Your stretch lace is a year older than me!!! That hemming contraption is great. I've seen them before, but had no idea what you'd do with them. Mystery solved! Whats the name of the super lightweight interfacing you used? I bought some recently thinking it was sheer, but it seems to be much heavier than I wanted. Thank you Marie for your awesome videos!

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 года назад +2

      Hi Faith! The label at the end of the bolt says Pellon P44F JAS Fusible Interfacing 20'' White. At Joann Fabrics it is usually a $1.98 per yard regular price. I wait till I can use a coupon and then I get a whole bunch. By the way that sounds like an old person phrase "I've got stretch lace older than you!!" 😂😁

    Have been unlucky trying to find stay tape like you use. Seems a good idea to me. Will you tell me your source and brand. I know you said tailoring supplies.

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 года назад +1

      Hi Mary! The tape that I think you are thinking of is sewkeyse woven stay tape. The one in the blue packaging. I see it on amazon for about $11.00 I am actually in the process of trying to find a less expensive alternative but no luck so far.
