Nice clean sewing job and clear tutorial! The only thing I would recommend to newbies is to hem the ruffle first. Such a large loop is a lot easier to work with while it is still flat, ungathered, and not connected to the rest of the dress. 😅

I used to make this kind of dress for my daughter when she was a little girl, starting when she was about two. She is now in her 40’s. I would make it be a top to wear with shorts or make it dress length. I would use a piece of fabric selvage-to-selvage wide and sew as many rows of shirting as it needed to make it small enough to fit her circumference. And make it as long as needed for a top or dress. I made the straps like you did, only without elastic inside. I might try making one for myself now.

You are an amazing teacher! I'm quite dodgy at shirring. I just made it today. I love the pattern I just needed to listen when you said draw lines if it's not a pattern with lines cause that shirring is wack I made bigger straps for me too. Great beginners dress would recommend and I personally love your style of teaching I can't wait to try more from you! Learned to actually take the measurements and cut everything correctly thank you! 😊 ❤

This is so pretty! 😃 That colour looks amazing against your skintone, really really flattering on your bronzed skin.♥️ Yellow would make me look even more white... 🤣 ...but I have some gorgeous pale blue cotton with tiny white flowers all over and that's what I'll be using to make this dress. ☺️ We're supposed to be getting 32°c here by mid August so i might make a few of these to keep me cooler whilst looking pretty. (Plus cotton is great against the boobs for keeping the sweat at bay!) 😵 New subscriber! 😁 I've been sewing years, craft items or home items, like bags, book covers, cushions, curtains etc...but I've just started attempting clothing for myself. Never attempted shirring before so let's hope I am ok at it! 🙄 From one UK Tami to another Tammy, thank you! 😘😘😘

Adding pleats to the skirt part helps immensely!

@sammidavis8702 Ай бұрын

@@ashleyroland1167 would you need to do two separate pieces for the top and bottom if adding pleats?

@ashleyroland1167 Ай бұрын

Depends, Make it a couple inches larger.And when you're done with the elastic or bunched up sewing at the top you pleat it at the bottom of the bust/right above waist. Gives the whole ensemble a better twirl

@eslek6644 24 күн бұрын

⁠@@ashleyroland1167this sounds very interesting, but I don’t understand how you can add pleats to the skirt when it is one piece of fabric and the top is already shirred? I would love to understand though! Could you maybe try to explain again?🙏🏼

@joancollier4488 2 күн бұрын

Brilliant…..the dress looks super on and you explained the whole process really well. The only think I saw when I read the comments was that instead of multiplying the bust measurement by 1.5 slightly larger bods might need to consider multiplying by 2. This could be written somewhere at the beginning so any larger bods don’t find themselves in difficulty…❤

Hi Tammy I’m a complete newbie but luckily found your channel 😆 My 1.5 x bust measurement comes out at 58.5” however I have a smaller piece of fabric with a width of 55” and wondering if I can squeeze this dress out of it by reducing the top section width down a bit. Surely with all the elastic shirring this might be doable? What are your thoughts? Apologies if this is a daft question 😊Many thanks.
