Its super classic with the mix of fabric giving a little bit of an edge 💙💙💙I absolutely love how this turned out, the style, the fit, the fabric….. I think a few more cocktails evenings are in order👍🍸👍 I hope you enjoy. Susanne💕

    I don’t often write comments to videos I’ve watched. I think everyone who takes the time to put together a sewing video deserves a medal good bad or just perhaps not the one for me. However..I’ve watched three of your videos, subscribed to your channel, tapped the bell so I don’t miss out on anything ..oh yeah and I “liked”it. The whole kit and kaboodle lol. I never do that.They are so well put together, your , your instructions are clear, you move along quickly but miss nothing. I really want to thank you for all the time you have obviously put into each lesson/workshop. I love the different techniques you’ve used for seam finishing. I love turning a garment inside out to see how much love 💗 went into the garment I’m looking at. It’s a pretty rare commodity these days. It really is. Well that’s enough from me. I could keep going on..I just enjoyed it so much but I would rather go and watch you make this cocktail dress. I feel inspired to sew again. I’ve been absolutely stuck for a couple of years. So thank you..for that I’m truly grateful ..thank you so much.

    Beautiful dress with the wow factor which looks gorgeous on you. Love seeing all your sewing techniques. A little thing I do is when I tie off the dart thread I then thread it back into the inside of the dart so that you don't see the knot. Thank you for all the hard work you do in bringing these videos to us.

    Wow! You look wonderful in this beautiful dress! Now I want one too LOL!! If you have time, could you please tell us about the fabrics used; perhaps I could buy them online? I love your videos; I learn so much from watching you sew. I'm a very visual learner, and it's so great how you edit your videos so the "picture flow" is easy to follow. I don't lose my place when I watch your videos like I can do when I watch others or when I read the steps in an instruction sheet. Thank you thank you!

It sounds like the hemline one is a must to try👍 I’ll definitely have look out for it👌thanks again Wendy, you are so generous sharing your tips and knowledge 👍👍👍 have a fabulous weekend 💕💕💕
