In case anyone is attempting to recreate this dress, April's tip about being aware of the width of your fabric is very important. Both of the fabrics she used here are in the range of 50-60" wide which is why she has so much fabric to work with. If you try this with a 45" wide fabric, you're going to need to buy more. So for example for that width of fabric she used 1 yd each, but in a shorter width she would need approx. 1.5 yd to yield the same amount of fabric. Hope this helps! (Source: have worked at the big green fabric and craft store I'm pretty sure she bought these from for 5+ years)

I attempted to make this today as my first ever piece of clothing (I've made some bags and small things, but I'm definitely an amateur). I definitely recommend making sure the fabric is wide enough based on your size. It definitely came out like an amateur made it (and a bit undersized due to my fabric size, so it wasn't as wide and flowy), but the steps were super easy to follow along with. Saving this to try again with the new knowledge I've learned! :)

Im 14, when i was little i used to hand sew clothes for my dolls, and now i have a machine! Its good to find a nice begginer project that doesnt use a lot of fabric, because my parents dont give me a lot of money and fabric is kinda expensive for my wallet. Thanks a bunch!

I think I’ll try to make it as a maternity dress since none of my trousers fit comfortably anymore lol Nice to know it doesn’t need much fabric since most projects I’ve been looking at to make require at least another yard and I don’t want to spent too much $$ since I’m kinda broke and just saving for the baby lol.
