This dress pattern is meant for someone with a bust size between 32 and 46 inches, and this pattern has more of a 'Balconette' shape. I have a new Regency Dress pattern called 'Mix and Match' and it fits bust sizes 30 to 48 inches. I am currently working on expanded sizing for plus sizes for my 'Mix and Match' pattern. You can check out videos for it on youtube. This dress is an empire style dress, so fit mostly matters at the bust and underbust. Hips and waist are free. And you can adjust the skirt length to your height as needed. I love a Regency dress on any body shape, but I adore the Regency silhouette of an empire waist gown. If you're interested in making a regency dress I recommend checking out my 'Mix and Match Regency Dress Pattern'. It has the most variation and more videos showing the sewing process. The bodice should also be the easiest to fit. I hope this helps!

That pattern is available in my Etsy and I have a Video for it as well :) It does take alot of elastic and can be quite challenging, but it is very cute! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsuGhtmqy7qcfmQ.htmlsi=Svdq5qPvboa89TqG

@@KittyJBerry Thank you so much will purchase with this one.

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for giving my pattern a go! 💓

Love Daphne 💙 I think she had the best wardrobe 💎 ✨

I’m not sure what you mean. It could be pins to secure the fabric to the cotton interlining, or chalk to draw darts. If you could be more specific that would help me.

I don’t understand your question? It’s a dress, but the pattern offers different skirt shapes.

At the 2:29 minute marker there is a quick example of the flutter sleeve made in a striped cotton fabric and the bottom edge finished with binding. Right now that is the only example i have on video. I hope this helps!

Did you cut out size labeled 36? If you want the bodice very fitted you can test size 34. Make sure you followed the correct lines- sometimes it gets confusing following the lines. If necessary you can tweak the bodice, like lengthening the straps to help is sit lower. If you’re still struggling you can try sending some photos on Etsy and I’ll take a look.

@@KittyJBerry I’ll try lengthening the straps. Thank you!

@@KittyJBerry I found out my issue. I was attaching the sleeve incorrectly. I was trying to attach the small arm hole to the bodice

@@genniferwest I'm glad you got it sorted! Sorry I couldn't be more help, it's so tricky when I can't see! I hope it's smooth sailing from here on out for you!

Thank you!! I was hoping for that effect 💙✨

Thank you! This is my first attempt, I've made so many dresses since 💙 I will check out your video ☺

@@KittyJBerry turned out amazing 🤩

Thank you! 💜 I will check out your video!

I’ve seen photos and she has many beautiful dresses, but I need to take a better look at them 😊 it’s a fun project idea! 💓

@@KittyJBerry Yes, it is!! I'll try to sew her first wedding dress and see what happens

Thank you 💓💓💓

Thanks you!! 🥰

I couldn't say, I have never tested this. You could lay the pattern piece out and mark it with pins or chalk and see if you can get both to fit. I would also check the waist line measurement. The two things to consider is getting enough skirt to go around the bodice, and if it can fit on 2.5 meters of fabric. I think 2.5 won't be enough, especialy if you're cutting the bodice pieces and sleeves from the solid fabric. Maybe 3 or 3.5 meters would be enough? but this is only a guess, I can't say for sure. Check the measurements and Lay the pattern pieces out and see if you can tetris it to fit. Good Luck!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊I'm not very familiar with UK sizing, but if your bust is around 42 inches you will need about 7 meters of fabric if you want a dress like the one in this video. I used 7 meters to make this dress. If your fabric has a design or pattern, or a narrow width, or you're rather tall, you might need a little extra. You will also want about 1/2 meter of cotton for interlining the bodice. I hope this helps!

@KittyJBerry thank you so much! then I should be good cause I already got my fabric about 8 metre. Your tutorial is amazing and such a help. Xxx

Thank you so much! It was certainly Labor of Love to make all the videos 😊

Thank you! 🥹💗

Thank you for giving my patterns a go! 💓 I hope the stays worked well for you! Hopefully this pattern has what you were looking for, it certainly has a lot of pieces!

@@KittyJBerry the stays worked beautifully! I usually have a difficult time finding patterns that work cause my bust measurement is about 16" more than my waist 😅 but your pattern worked perfectly!

@@samwhiffin I am so so happy to hear that!!☺ It can be tricky getting things to fit just right, i guess that's the beauty and the pain of sewing your own things 😅 but I am so happy to hear the stays worked out! If I can help at all with the dress let me know 💓

Thank you!!! ^^

Thank you for watching the video! I hope the pattern works out well for you!! Excited to see what you make!

Thank you so much for giving this pattern a go! I might make a lace up example down the road. I think it would be easy enough to make a dress with a lace up / corset style back. I would make the bodice with the cotton interlining for sure (to support the eyelets).Then I would finish up the back as usual - adding the lining. Then I would use an awl to poke holes into the center back and add eyelets using eyelet Pliers. I think I would add several 4mm or 5mm eyelets up and down both sides- I've always been partial to the Prym Eyelet Pliers and Eyelets with Washers. Then you could just use ribbon to tie it up. Of course hand-sewing eyelets would be a lovely historical way to add eyelets. Thank you for your suggestion! I will certainly have to see if I can work on a lace up example in the future!

@@KittyJBerry Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful
