Hello Friends! I decided to hop aboard a group challenge this month and tackle #ShirtwaistSeptember with a CUTE dress pattern that i bought ages ago and have been itching to make every since. The PatternSewciety Frances Shirt Dress was a dream to sew up, with almost no pattern alterations at all, and is absolutely so comfortable! Highly recommended!

While I appreciate they may have improved I will never ever ever trust them to be above board. There's lots of other options though and therapy can be so helpful. If this is people's only option I suppose it's better than raw dogging life!
Cinema Therapy is on their grift list too, Of Course they think BH is ok.
@@KathrynsRavens It's not necessarily better, if they lead you astray.
@@Costuming_Drama I’m feeling frustrated because I can’t add a comment to the general conversation so I am adding it here…it looks AMAZING! The colour is fantastic, it has a wonderful amount of swoosh and it is really flattering. Excellent result 😊
Better Help is NOT HIPAA compliant. Do not use them.
It's called a Buffalo Check.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It looks wonderful on you! I was always taught buttonhole spacing didn’t matter as much as making sure one button lined up with the full bust line to prevent gapping for us full busted types.
@@dorym8045 Back when my mom did alterations for other people (she's since retired), that was a common fix with some of her customers.
I have recently purchased dress blouses that have a button sewn facing in at the bustline. It's nice that it doesn't show but it still prevents the dreaded gaping.😊
@@lajoyous1568I used to work in clothing retail, and it’s a very common practice for a lot of the middle and higher quality women’s dress shirts to have hidden buttons at the bust line to prevent gaping. Sold a lot of blouses to women looking for business attire, and they were always so pleased with this.
I made sure there was one right there! (Although my busy isn’t very large, I HATE gaping!
I made sure that there was one exactly there, for the same reason!
It would be very fun to paint on a muslin-mock up, rendering it a unique, finished garment. :)
Great idea!
Hilarious that you're terrified by the idea of a shirt while the rest of us gawp at your creations in awe!
Loved this concept so I decided to join the fun. I'm almost finished my shirtdress. It's made from a collection of my son's discarded shirts. I'm so happy with it. Very casual and relaxed fit but feels crisp and feminine.
Btw, I'm an Australian size 20; definitely plus size. The key for me was a higher waistline so that the skirt falls from that point and skims over everything.
Yay joining in on the fun!!!
Funny you should mention Kittenish Behaviour, she is the queen of shirt dresses. The pink and black looks very cool.
Oh that’s funny!
That is hella flattering! You look lovely 😘
Oh thank you!
I must admit that I was questioning the black/pink and was really hoping that you were going to show the other fabric. But the dress came out beautiful! I would I think it would look so sharp just with the top. Well, add a little length to waist! I really enjoyed the mock-up showing the fit of the top. Great job!
It looks fantastic!!!
I hate bullying. I love that you take such a firm stand on the issue ❤❤. Thank you!
💖
So desperately sad that this fun idea came from bullying. A brilliant way to deal with an unnecessarily nasty situation. I love shirt dresses. They do not love me back. I do not have great ankles and every shirt dresses I have tried looks pretty awful. I now wear short shirt dresses as a tunic with leggings or trousers underneath. I find jeans a bit bulky. ❤
I think that’s a wonderful solution!! 💖💖
Love this dress. I have seen that button placket trick before, but never tried it. (make the other dress, too, please.)
So, update. I can walk again. It's just a matter of time building muscles. Importantly, we found that the constant pain I'm feeling is not from my feet, but my back. Yeah, back!
And, I, too, am doing Shirtwaist September. I have a shirt dress that was given to me years ago that is WAY too long in the torso. It has been living in The Pile TM, and I thought that this is the perfect excuse to get it trimmed and re-fitted. I have several vintage patterns for shirtwaist dresses, but right now, I'm making a chemise a la reine and French jumps for a couple of my daughters, and the re-fit is all I will have time for.
Yay for walking!!! Boo for back pain!!! Yay for fixing the shirt dress!! 💖💖💖
Well that's a stunning dress 🤩
Pink and black is a great contrast. I'd love to see the plaid as well 😄
I haven't had a shirt dress in years but you've convinced me to make one.
I did make a flannel button up mens style dress shirt before with a total cheat pattern ( I took apart a shirt that fit just right but was on its last leg) I had to guess what to sew first and didn't even think about interfacing.😂 In the end it came out really well for a first try at a garment with sleeves and buttons. Although the sleeves did shrink up a bit after a few washes in spite of the prewash.
Thanks! I’ll make that plaid one up sometimes soon!
I love it. The dress is lovely and looks great on you!
I had heard about shirtwaist September but not why it was started. It’s so crazy how many people think that they can just destroy others joy! I’ve seen some of the others dresses and think they all look wonderful on everyone!!
If you make the other one I you will show it off!
Oh thank you!
That's _adorable._ it fits great.
Thank you!!
It looks wonderful!
Thank you!!
Super cute dress, I love it! Thank you for speaking on shaming on the interwebs. As an oversized person we get enough judgment in the real world and don't need in here too!
You are not oversized, you are perfectly sized for you. 💖
The ONLY thing that has looked awesome on me over the past decades IS a shirt (coat) dress. Thank you, Noelle.
This pattern so simular a dress me had many years ago. It had a short sleave and slightly diffrent neckwith it being V shaped I think. Can check tomorrow on my disability activity second hand. It has not sold 😢 way to big for me now due to bought it when I was at my biggest. But it was way to big to try adjust. But it was defently plus size and from store. They fit all Bosses. Just find the shape and cut you feel the best in and be beatiful. Me more obsessed with the skirts thats just wide and e d at ankle types instead also nowdays
In the 80s, my parents had some friends who could have been models for "The Preppy Handbook," and this shirt dress looks 100% like something the (very stylish, very chic) wife of the couple would wear. I love the pink and the plaid and everything!
Thanks!
Therapy is great. Betterhelp is not
Woohoo it's Noelle..... hurray
This shirt dress hits me right in my late-1980s/early-1990s feelings so hard. I'd totally wear this with combat boots and head out. That fabric's seriously giving.
Thanks for talking about kindness.
Hard yes to combat boots! I did try it on with my high top chick taylors and loved it too!
That turned out soooo cute! And very flattering, I think I need to make one! Also, I very much appreciate you and the fact that you always make a stand on your channel for kindness and inclusivety.
Thank you! 😊
Oooh, that’s an awesome dress! The last shirt dress I tried was a disaster, and this one looks like it would fit much better. Off to shopping!
Let me know if you do give it a go! It was so easy to put together!
Shirt dresses are like Regency, as long as it fits properly, no one looks bad in them.
Fully agree!
awww man i've been looking for something like that pink fabric
Cali fabrics has it!
@@Costuming_Drama nice!
This looks so good on you! It needs one of those leather belts that clips at the front with a big buckle.
Yes it does!
The dress turned out so nicely, if there weren't a million shirt dress patterns I'd be sad that this one only goes to an xxl. I may need to make a shirt dress soon-ish
Hard agree! I try and only buy patterns where I am mid-range, just on principle, but this one was cute and there are tons of them, so I didn’t feel too horrible!
Love a shirtdress! I should make one, I make buttonless dresses to save on effort.
That’s for sure a mood I can vibe with!
Agree; buying interfacing in bulk makes so much sense! I buy mine by the 5 metre length :)
Last time I made a new shirt pattern, looked up how to do a full bicep adjustment, and was VERY glad I did (the sleeve had been described as "modern, slim & sleek"... er no).
The only thing that is unflattering to someone's shape is...well the cut of the clothing. I'm very high waisted which means I can't wear anything off the peg - and even most patterns I buy I have to adjust to bring the waistline higher otherwise I look like a badly stuffed sausage, no filling at the top with everything squawged around my stomach and hips. The wrong length of hem can make you look squat, and high neck line can give the impression of no neck. If people used the energy in learning about their body shape as they do jumping online and mashing the keyboard - they'd probably feel so much better about themselves.
Sure nobody can where everything - that's just life, but work out what you can wear and get on with life. It's short so enjoy it whilst you can.
Lookin' good btw and love the fabric choice *chefs kiss*
So excited to have a video of yours today! ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
Looks totally awesome!
Thank you!!
Beautiful! Love it! Isn't that fabric called buffalo check, or is that only when it's red and black? It looks GREAT on you! I hate bullies, too, and you showed them they were full of it. :D A hood would be AMAZING! I have a hooded sweatshirt dress I adore. Thanks for being you and posting, I'm always so happy to watch your videos! (And pardon my scream of consciousness, was just reacting to bits here and there. :D)
Oh I’m so happy to hear that! 💖💖
Thanks for sharing the tricks with french seaming, my brain always spins in place when I try to figure out what has to go where and how, and adding pocketses to the equation just bluescreens my brain...
And I have 20m of two colours of flannel, this is a really cute way to make a dress (I literally said, "holy shit that is CUTE!" when you twirled in it, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do). Though I'm not awesome at buttonholes and currently none of my machines that are theoretically capable of it want to do buttonholes. But realistically there's no reason I couldn't make it with a zipper and fake buttons, or only have holes for the buttons I NEED to undo to get into it. Curious how it'll work with flannel, which is (to quote TheClosetHistorian) very floopy.
Oh my fabric was thin as all get out and way more floopy than flannel! It will be great! And I’d maybe use snaps instead of buttons?
I would put a plain black belt instead of a matching one.
Your dress is Very flattering on you! I watch Sewrena all the time. She's the cutest. Why do people have to be so mean?!?!?!? There's tooooooo many haters out there. Thank heaven there's nice people doing videos too.
💖💖💖💖 thank you!
Looks great! I think that plaid is called a buffalo plaid. I have no idea why. I enjoyed the quick demo of the blind hen as well. I’ve never done that on my machine so it was nice to see the quickie demonstration
Glad to help! It really does look so nice when you take a minute to prep it!
It suits you so well! I feel like it is the perfect blend of your two different styles. And the fit is amazing. Thank you so much for participating and elevating our little challenge ❤️
You know what was actually the sadest is that it mostly wasn't people on other people bullying, it was people saying disparaging things about themselves and why they felt they couldn't wear it. I really wanted to empower people to see themselves in a different way. It has been so nice to see all the different versions on so many different people. ❤
Thank you so much, and thank you for inviting me!! And yes, but I think that’s still bullying. It’s just bullying themselves. It is incredibly sad though, that people have internalized that garbage so much. I am so happy to help show that that simply doesn’t have to be how it is!
I love it!! Super cute and VERY FLATTERING!! I think I might go order that pattern - I'm in my dresses are everything phase (aka perimenopause 😂)
Yay! Thank you!
OMG that dress is ADORABLE and looks GREAT on you!!!!!
Thank you!!
This turned out SO well!! I'm saving your video to my Favourites so I can come back to it. I want to make a shirt dress, sans collar.
Yay I’m so glad that you found it helpful!!
Not even 5 minutes in and loving this! Thank you for showing your fit check.
Yay!!!
You look great! And, yes, make a bunch of them! When you tried the muslin on, the effect was already stunning despite the needed adjustments....A solid version would be amazing too....I live in shirtdresses, they combine elegance and comfort and you can choose lots of fun patterns for the fabric!
Thank you! I actually love the bright yellow solid one in their promo for it, so I may do that someday, although I have no idea if yellow looks good on me!
Great job! Looks super cute. I've had this pattern saved, so I'll have to get it at some point. I'm making a black and white plaid dress myself and quilting a quilt. You MUST watch Agatha All Along. As of today, 3 episodes have been released. Really enjoying it. Listening to the audiobook of "The Making of Another Motion Picture Masterpiece" by Tom Hanks. Tom reads part of the book along with a bunch of other actors. I'm liking it so far. I'm about a 3rd of the way through. To the end.
Ooo thanks for the recommendations and YES to Agatha!!
I love that dress! It looks great and tempts me to try making one. I have some flannel I adore and think this dress would be amazing. It could be a dress or a jacket...love the idea.
You should! It was very easy to throw together!
'Ello!
👋🏻
With the amazing ensembles you've made and you never made a shirt was an ohh moment for me but it's beautiful, I'm so sorry to hear that your friends were treated so badly, ❤
Hahaha yeah, there’s always something new that you haven’t ever done with this sport
I'm watching this in the midst of a shirt dress project which is a copy of a copy of one I thrifted. They're so useful and easy to wear. Love yours!
Also glad to have another Sewciety pattern recommendation. I get on really well with those but I know not everyone does.
Oh that’s interesting! Yeah, this one was great!
Very cute! I am going to have to add this pattern to my “to-make” list. I can imagine it working well in multiple fabrics for different seasons. A light weight linen for summer would probably be so comfortable.
Great idea! I might also do that!
GORGEOUS!! (I have a hard time with blind hems too....they're hard to wrap my head around) I have a shirt dress in my queue that I just washed the fabric for
Oh awesome! They do look good on everyone!
Oh man you did a better help ad. They've been caught selling their users information & other shady things in the past more than once.
Love the dress
Hi there! If you go look at the pinned comment, there’s a very good 3rd party review of what actually happened and all the steps that they have taken to be better. They are highly regulated at this point and that isn’t an issue. I believe that the company is currently in a very good place to be safe for people to use and that’s why, like with all sponsors, I did my research and actually think it’s a good product before I decided to take the sponsorships.
Very cute. I'm of a certain age, so I grew up with my grandmothers & mom wearing shirt dresses. I really like the look.
SAME 🤣
Pockets are very important. I have a gown I need to raise the pockets on and I’m debating adding a hood. I have like four polarfleece medieval kirtles with pockets.
Pockets are everything!
Yep, beautiful on you just as we anticipated! Goth Barbie is a good look! 🖤💕
Oh thank you!
It turned out super cute! it definitely suits you :)
I was just a bit surprised that you hemmed the skirt right away without letting it hang a bit, since it`s a circle skirt, or did I miss that?
Thank you! And nope, I did it before letting it hang! I think this one is meant to be sort of multi-level, so I don’t mind it it stretches out a bit…
Oh... it's so cute. You look great. A matching headband wouldn't he too much at all.
Thanks! I’m gonna make one tonight!
needs a black patent leather belt.
This looks amazing. Regarding the need to put a little tuck in the back while attaching the collar, while it looks good and works, check the seam allowances for sewing the collar. For some reason, a lot of patterns used to narrow the seam allowance for these areas therefore making the collar bigger. I foresee more shirtdresses in your future and if I am correct in the seam allowances, your sewing might be easier. I would also make a different pocket pattern so it attaches to the waist seam without the need for adjustments. Look forward to seeing the plaid made up.
Oh for sure on that pocket!!
Yay, Noelle! Hello!
The dress looks amazing and fits you great! I love the idea, I am immediately tempted to use an existing shirt and add a skirt to it :D The biggest skirt possible, of course, although double circle sounds like a lot :D
Great idea!! Do it!!
Yay!!! Well done, beautiful dress. :) 😊
Thank you! 😊
beautifully done, sweet project
Thank you very much!
Instantly goes to get the pattern. It looks great and i have been searching for a dress pattern just like this! I love the fabric as well!
Yay! I hope yours turns out beautifully!
It looks great!
I too have to look up how to the blind hem every time I need it. I don't know why it isn't used more often it is such a nice look.
It’s SUCH a good look, but it’s also kinda fussy, but I do it whenever possible!
Adorable. It's looks so comfy-cozy.
Thank you! It really is!
It looks amazing!!! And the hoodie would be amazing!!!!! I really hope you do that, even if it is a detachable one!!!
I’m pretty sure I will! I need to make a practice hood first, but then I’m on it!
@@Costuming_Drama I can wait to see it! Hoodies make everything heavenly. 😂😂😂 I wouldn't be caught dead without one if I am going out in public. Lol
You look adorable in that dress! Wonderful!
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing. How long did it take you to make your shirt dress?
Maybe like 2-3 days if you sew a fair bit! Not very long at all! The most time consuming part was the hem!
oh honey to fix the outside button stand, you clip the seam allowance on the waist and swap the seam to the outside. If you do it about a half inch deeper in than the folded edge, the top stitched stand will cover up the seam showing and on the inside, the swap over is a half in in from the edge. xo
Also, LOVE THIS DRESS!!!! You did a gorgeous job of it and I love the barbie goth vibe.
Yeah… I thought about that after it was done… sigh. Next time! But thank you!! 💖
STUNNING! Looks fantastic and I really do need to learn the French seams on pockets and seams thing; I tend to flat fell them. But I’m now keen to try that. I do have a theory on how pockets themselves could be French seamed… 🤔
When it comes to the blind hem stitch, being the recently medically retired nurse that I am, I remember it as the one that looks most like an ECG trace on a monitor 😂
Oh the method I used did French seam the pockets as well! Check out kittenish behavior on YT for her tutorial!
@@Costuming_Drama I shall indeed! Thank you
Squeeeeeeeeal, Noelle time!!!
You look fabulous!🥰
Thank you so much!
When we did our shirt module in fashion construction at design school, we were told that folding the button plackets to the outside generally signified a more casual, day-to-day style (perfect for a shirt waist dress), and folding to the inside was for formal/dress shirts. If the designer wanted an outside “fold” but their fabric had a wrong side, they could do a pin tuck, or a “sewn on” placket (as opposed to a “grown on” like the Frances Dress).
Oh yeah, that makes sense! I guess I could absolutely do that! I didn’t even think of that!
Oh yay I’m so glad to be helpful! Your dress looks fantastic, and I love that now that you’re familiar with the pattern you’re already thinking about things that you’ll change/adjust for the next one. I agree about adding stays to help support inseam pockets; I did something similar recently with a Style Arc pattern for some loose pants.
This is the first I’ve heard of Shirtwaist September, but I love the thinking behind it. As it happens, I very recently bought the Jenna Shirt + Dress pattern from Closet Core, but I don’t think I’ll have it sewn up by the end of the month. I have however just finished my first Closet Core Pouf, inspired by your video! 🎉
The dress is very pretty and you look great in it :)
Thank you so much!
Very cute! I like the full skirt a lot.
Thank you! 😊
Excellent, the dress looks great!😊
Thank you! 😊
It is very lovely!! It looks fabulous on you!
Thank you so much
Woah!!! It looks SO GREAT!
Thank you!!
wonderful and you look fantastic in it.
Thank you so much!
I love a shirt dress and you look awesome in it!
Thank you!!
Mock up was great! I have to re learn blind hem too each time. I still have trouble with collars.
It came out great!
Thank you!
@@Costuming_Drama good pattern!
What a cute dress! Nice job. 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
So cute! I’d love to see that with a hoodie!
I think it’s be so cute!
I love your finished dress!
Thank you!
Supper cute , nice job 👍🏼
Thank you! 🤗
Well done! Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
So cute.
Thank you!!
