Such lovely dresses I love them all 😍 xx

for anyone watching in the UK - it's much much cheaper to get style arc patterns sent here from Australia than it is to buy in the shops, with discount codes I just picked up three for £30, including delivery. Just remember that they don't have the same seam allowances as UK patterns. Also that neckline is just so so pretty, you've fit it beautifully.

Love Notions offers on Fridays only a $5.00 pattern of their choice. Keep your eye out for any patterns you'd like to buy. It's PDF patterns.

That Chalk and Notch number is the 90s dress I've never had but always wanted. Love their fabric choice too.

I’ve just made two versions of the Charlie kaftan: the maxi and the mini versions with gathers. I really like them both and they sewed up easily apart from the challenge of the front panel. I recommend watching all the KZfaq tutorials first. I’m just looking for some suitable plain linen to sew up the third version with folds. I recommend the Waves and Wild Kinjarling dress which has a similar bodice with grown on sleeves and then a full gathered skirt with a gorgeous sash and cute side pockets which stick out slightly and are a nice subtle feature.

I made the maxi version of the Charlie caftan in a Lady McElroy viscose. It was my go to dress last summer. The amount of ease is generous and I made a straight size even though my waist and hips would have been the next size up. It will be too big when summer hits again but I'll definitely make another. So many beautiful dress patterns and most of them I would happily make.

I love the Daisy Dress, I've made three of them, and it's such a lovely pattern to sew!

Looking forward to see which dress you make next!😊

Love your version of the Laura Ashley. So pretty!

A great video Amelia all your dresses are so beautiful and the patterns you recommend look good i will look them up, thank you for sharing your beautiful makes they are so professional and your fit is always perfect on you x

Very enjoyable video. I love sundresses! All of your dresses are beautiful! That smocking you did on the Molly dress is awesome. I’ve made 4 summer dresses so far and many more to come. I’m finding myself using some of my older patterns I’m talking 10 years maybe that I hadn’t made. They are turning out beautifully! Always enjoy your videos. Happy summer sewing! 👗🧵🪡🥰

Great video, thanks Amelia. Great to hear about the bust cup options for the last dress 😊. A definite bonus. Love notions also have a full bust/regular bust option for most of their patterns, so tend to be a go to for me. Fabulous patterns.

Loved this video lovely wide selection of dresses But I’m not got confidence yet to wear these dresses But you looked great Keep up great sewing 😀😀😀

Beautiful, beautiful makes❣️

Great inspiration 😊 Loving both the Chalk and Notch and the Know me Puff sleeve patterns

Hi Amelia, this selection of dresses certainly covers all the bases for a great summer wardrobe. The dress you are wearing is wonderful and styled beautifully with your magic shoes. Happy summer to you and the family. Here in Adelaide - it’s been a wet beginning to winter but looking forward to some crisp dry days. I also follow Janelle and while her sewing videos are fantastic, I’m currently loving her Japanese content. 🇦🇺🦘

Thank you for taking the time to give us such a lovely selection of sundresses 😄

I love the Matilda Dress. Maybe not a sundress, but still so cute. I have made it into just a top also, which is such fun for the Summer. I really enjoy your videos and look so forward to each and every one.🥰

Summer dresses are probably my favorite thing to sew! Your Laura Ashley dress is lovely. The Kew Dress and the Charlie Caftan are two I've admired but not made. Some I have made are the Helen's Closet Reynolds (love the square neckline), Liesl & Co Camp Shirtdress (classic and so easy to wear), and Closet Core Elodie (twirly!). I have plans to make a BHL Hannah, Closet Core Crew Periwinkle and Azure, Fibre Mood Vanya, and Liesl and Co St. Germain dresses.

❤Love your selection and the information about the patterns. Helpful in my decision making. 😊

Another excellent video. Thank you, Amelia. I vote for the Shay dress to be bumped up on the Makes list but I am a little biased. Love the Acton Dress from In the Folds! Summer needs to be longer with so many wonderful sundresses out there.

I love all the dresses!

I don’t get to shops being disabled Tesco for food so don’t try on. But good thought I watch you to know what’s about N love family sewing

Brilliant round up of gorgeous summer dresses. I’m in the process of making the Mabel top, just to get to grips with the shirring, then I’m making the dress version. There’s a few dress patterns you mentioned that I will be putting on my list.

I thought I had made my decision on which dresses I am going to make, then you show me the style arc Pixie dress. Although I love the flouncy numbers on other people, I’m much more a simple shift dress girl! (Long time since I was a girl 😂) so a shift with a flounce sounds a perfect blend! Thanks for a great video as usual! Xx

Those dresses look amazing! Thanks for the video

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thank you so much for a a great video. I’d love to make the Mabel dress but I’m not sure if it would suit me…I wear a size G cup bra…so I think I would look very busty in it 😂. Also the price of the pattern put me off a bit. I really like most of the dresses you mentioned. I didn’t know about the re-release of the Laura Ashley design…yours is absolutely stunning. I also do very much like the sew over it Sienna dress from the Summer dreaming booklet and I’ve made the shirred bodice into a sun-top with a peplum. I’ve just bought the Shay dress pattern and I’m really exited about sewing it up ….I’m going to start with the sleeveless version ..but I can imagine lots of different versions….and of course the inclusion of cup sizes is a huge bonus.❤

Nice.

love the dress you are wearing! i really do need to try that one out for myself someday.

My sewing project for the summer is the Protea Capsule Wardrobe - Megan Nielsen

I love the one you're wearing, I may have to track that pattern down!

Your McCall's pattern dress and that fabric pairing is sublime. I absolutely love your version of it! Eagerly awaiting the pattern arrival in Aus! I've already bought the fabric for it, I'm that keen. I think we have similar taste because I have also bought the Know Me pattern...and the fabric for it 😅

On my way to the store to pick up the Charlie Caftan! Thank you- also I really love the fabric of the dress you are wearing in this video, do you mind sharing info about it? Thank you!

Lovely roundup. I noticed in your other vlog that we have the same pfaff machine. Please could you tell me your settings and tips for shirring on this machine as ive found it quite difficult myself. Thank you x

I have just had a Kew dress fail, my straps were too short, are they cut on the fold? my pattern is just cut 2 but they were way too short. Please help 🙏🏻 Your dresses are beautiful btw xx
