Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy my round-up of Summer woven dresses! What is your favourite? Be sure to watch my next episode with all of my favourite Summer Knit dresses too!
I have some favorite sewing channels I regularly watch, and had to say how gifted you are, especially in your fabric choices. I see lots of people choose and sew fabrics that are such a range of colors/patterns, and only a few that are really flattering to the design of the garment, and to the wearer. You impressed me with every choice, and there wasn't a single fabric I wouldn't love to purchase for myself. You have a great understanding of your figure type, what you enjoy sewing, your best colors and how to combine them all into an outstanding dress. Kudos.
This was a great video showcasing easy and soft flowing patterns that look makeable for a novice sewer like me. Loved all the styles. The hard part is picking one to start with!
I love all these dresses, I look forward to your next video.Thank you it’s been great fun . I’m not much of a sewer, but I’m going to dust off my sewing machine, and go find a pattern and some material. 😉
I love, yes LOVE when you do this type of video. It's a perfect way to inspire one to sew a seasonal garment. I place a red circle sticker on my knit patterns differentiating them from the wovens.
Beautiful dresses!!! I'm blown away and sold in the Sew House Seven dresses. Fantastic fashion show!!! Thanks so much for highlighting these summer makes
I took a break this A.M. and decided to search RUclips for Summer dress patterns. I looked over a few channels before I landed in the Dahlia Sew-ciety and let me tell you the others were downright boring and mostly uninspiring in comparison to your picks. Not only that- I found a few websites I had never visited before (I simply love diving down this sort of rabbit hole)with dresses that made my heart do a bit of a leap. And you generously shared your fabric finds! : D You have won me over. Thank you.
I don’t think I have a dress in my closet. You have inspired me. Just difficult sizing myself since I live along.🥲love the navy and white wrap. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Waw my dear sister I love all your dresses so much,also you are so beautiful woman, and this color of dresses make you like prences respect from Algeria .
I don't know how you video came up but i'm so glad it did. I have very similar coloring and body shape. I love your choice of fabrics and colors. I haven't sewn in years but after watching this i'm inspired to try making something as beautiful as these dresses.
You inspire me and I take my old machine, and today I brought material for 3 dresses and I would take all the great ideas and teachings you give us. Thank you very much,
Thank you for the inspiration! Appreciate seeing your warm weather makes as I am in warmer weather season. Great to hear your descriptions of fabric types that work with the pattern style!
Absolutely beautiful dresses that look so lovely on you. Glorious colors made in prints and also in solids...I truly enjoyed your choices, so so idealic: you make a beautiful Eve in her Garden. Thank you for sharing your talent and experience with these patterns, fabrics, and the dresses sewn. A totally inspirational and awe inducing fashion show!
I love the 1st dress. You're very talented. Amazing how different a pattern looks with different materials and colours. Your winter day looks lovely. New Zealand has such terrible strong winds constantly where I live.
@@thedahliasewciety NZ has terrible summers lol currently have a cyclone going over the north island. Our westerlies are terrible. We can swap places lol
Hi Kristen! These dresses were so pretty! Each one had it's own style and attitude. I loved them all and particularly the fabrics. The first one was so feminine. Just loved them all.
Your Sophia dress is the best of all! The bodice shaping is very complimentary on you and midi length is definitely your best. You are to be commended for such a huge commitment 🧵.
Ahh you look lovely in all of those dresses and you know what colors, patterns, and styles look good w your bone structure and coloring, which is important! 🤩
Gorgeous. You’ chosen such a beautiful variety of fabrics. I get overwhelmed looking for patterns and this is so helpful to narrow it down and see how they turn out.
Your dresses are beautiful! I especially love the Eva, the Hope and Sydney Designer dresses. I’ve made the Eva dress and love it so much I need to make another in the sleeveless version, but then I see all the dresses you’ve made and think I should just try something else! So many choices, so little time! It’s so great to see all these dresses made up, it is really inspiring! Thank you!
That was really useful Kristen, thank you. I think the Lola dress is just what I need for the beautiful piece of silk I got for £1,99 (!) at a charity shop. Both those lantern shaped dresses look really beautiful on you, I think it would suit me too...🤔
I love it! I truly enjoy seeing what you make. Some of these dress have been in my "maybe" list but seeing them on someone has moved some of them into "yes" list thank you for showing all of dress for us :)
So beautiful! Each dress is simply gorgeous! I love your fabric choices for each and the details are so cute! You are very talented and the dresses fit you so well. And can I say that I just love your accent! I live in the southern part of America and our accents are so country, it’s so refreshing to hear others’ accents. Thank you for sharing your lovely crafted dresses with us!
So much fun to see all these in one go - what a task that must have been! I'm always inspired by your enthusiasm and your fabulous eye for color and print.
Well you know my favorite dress - but I have to say that I love the shirred dress! I would have done the same thing with the shoulders; I don't like things falling off either. I have to say, I also like the Sydney Designer Dress from Style Arc too - that shape is just beautiful. May have to give that one a try. Thanks for showing us all of these, especially when I know it was chilly outside! ❤️🤗
@@vickyls8132 thanks so much! I’m wearing a half slip in a very light viscose jersey but only under the dresses that are transparent! On a very hot day ( over 35 cels) Id probably avoid wearing it though!
Hi just looking at your fabulous creations have given me inspitation to start making something, thank you for sharing this video with us, sending love from Ireland☘
@@thedahliasewciety thank you for the empathy. No, fortunately i'm not affected. We have had a lot of rain but not that much. I live in the region "ammerland" . It is close to the north sea. The floods are more south. Cologne, Duesseldorf...
Great video, thanks for taking the time to model all these dresses. It really helps the viewers to make informed decisions on what works well for us :)
All the dresses are gorgeous on you Kristen! I think my favourite on you would be …. Tough choice…. I think the Elodie in the black with florals georgette. 🖤
I loved every single dress on you but my fav was the tulip sleeve one. I have loved that sleeve style ever since my mom made a dress for me like that for my shower! I don’t know whatever happened to that pattern. Thank you for this. And I might add that your garden/patio background looks great too :)
Wow, Thanks for the display of beautiful dresses. Love the pairing of fabrics and patterns. Jus t bought the Style Arc Hope Woven Dress, which I am keen to make.
Goodness hard to pick a favourite in that lot! All so very pretty. I’ve made a few of them but that very first one caught my eye. I made that fabric up in stitchbird dress which came up quite nicely. Can’t wait for spring. Our winter days here have been around + 17 or 18 c. Can’t beat that for winter. And in a few days the days start to get longer. How crazy is that. I think I’ll put the brakes on sewing up winter garments. Can’t wait for your knit dresses video.
Hi Dahlia I am Liz from Texas 🙃🎈👏. All of your dresses are fantastic. The fabrics are wonderful! These dresses are so unique and I have not seen any of these in Dallas Texas. I want one of each gorgeous prints! Also you ate Beautiful and have made a terrific video, thank you thank you thank you love!
First of all you look absolutely stunning! and I love the patterns and most of the dresses. It's great to be able to sew, as it's so difficult to find dresses that fits perfectly and is the right cut and style for my body. Thank you for creating this video!
Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy my round-up of Summer woven dresses! What is your favourite? Be sure to watch my next episode with all of my favourite Summer Knit dresses too!
Where do you find fabric? Thanks!
I love the one you tie in the front vintage style.... oh my goodness, super gorgeous.
Very feminine and impressive ! Who knew you could do that with polyester?? Wow 😳
Did I mention I think the bright colors are breathtaking???

Excellent Idea!
