I love the dress!!!!! however when you label this beginner sewing and start to discuss pattern making etc... it becomes intermediate sewing...Dress amaze balls
Love it love it to pieces!! I have been looking for someone to show me how to do this for a long time. I will def make it tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your gift.
What a beautiful and simple idea for a maxi dress, a knee length dress or a camisole. For beginners who find the construction confusing why not find instructions online for a cami top and follow those.
I love this pattern but you put the straps at the front coming the wrong way they need to go in-between the facing and the dress otherwise your strap will be on the lining xx
I am hoping to make a similar dress. I want to make it less flowing and wide at the hem. I’m going to make it in cheap fabric first and adjust as I go. Wish me luck
Loved the video but I'm stumped on how you figured out how long to make the straps? If you don't mind would you please reply with how you chose the measurement for he straps.
McKenzie Reints Hi McKenzie. You wondered how the skirt part was made. It was all part of the same process but it is difficult to tell from the video. Let me see if I can help. This is how I would do it. Trace your tank top. Making a note of the length of the straps. You need to work out the distance from the shoulder to where the strap meets the dress. Which is, Half the strap length. Then measure from your shoulder to the finished length you want the dress to be. Use a friend to help with this. Next take your pattern piece and mark it down the centre . Now slice it as was demonstrated, cutting very close to the top but try to keep the paper still attached. Once it is sliced you seperate the slits and secure the stretched pattern to another piece of paper. As per the video. Now. My instructions will differ slightly from the demonstration. Cut the new pattern piece down the centre. This cut line becomes your centre back and centre front. You should now have two pattern pieces that match. Fold your fabric in half lengthwise. Place one pattern piece with the centre line on the fold and at the top of the fabric. Now you need that measurement. The one from the shoulder to the top of the bodice. Let’s say it was 12cm. Take your total dress length that you want (shoulder to floor or knee or mid length) and minus the strap length from that. But at this point you also want to add on the hem allowance. I usually allow 3cm. What you do now. Is to measure down the folded side of your fabric from the top of the pattern piece to the hem length you want. ( - the strap length and adding the hem allowance.) Now, your pattern piece has another edge, which is your side seam. You use a long straight edge and lay it beside your side seam. You then draw down your fabric, at an angle, from the under arm to the hem. (Use the same length as you used on the fold) The last step is to draw your cut line for the hem. That is simply a gentle curve from the folded side to the hem line on the selvedge. The affect you are going for is a party cone with the top cut off. Once this fabric is cut out you can use this piece to cut around to get the other half of the dress. I hope that helps.
Mothersuperior67 ahhh thank you so much makes total sense now. Thank you!! I love this dress, please keep the designs coming! I’m a newbie who makes so many mistakes and I’m still in the everything looks homemade phase, LOL! So any helpful things that are easier than most that can help me hone those not so homemade skills is so helpful. So thank you.
McKenzie Reints Come back and tell us how it goes. You could always use an old bed sheet or pick up a duvet from a thrift store to test your pattern. This will also help you know what length of fabric you need to buy.
i love love LOVE this dress!! cant wait for summer to make and wear it. when you spread the tshirt, do you spread it until you come to the bottom of the dress? btw. you are so beautiful and i love your voice ❤️
Vanessa Castro Chesterton i tried it out both ways: to spread it until the end (the bottom), and stop spreading on the knees. and if you go down till the end it looks beautiful, like in the video. only mistake i did, i had the wrong fabric. so in the last two years, since my posting i made this dress 4 times 😂 but i love it and you can wear it everywhere: if you go out, take a nice purse, a nice hair band... and you look chic, on the beach, in the garden... it looks amazing and i got asked alot from where i bought the dress 😂
For those who are lost The part where she puts the two papers together is the actual dress size and shape. The slits were just to widen the width. The outline of the two papers together is how it should look
This is the exact dress that I want to make but gathered a little and more flowy, how can I create the gathered look but same shape? What should I add to the pattern ?
i saw this toturial a time ago. but now its time to do it. can you tell me please how much fabric i need, im very short :-) or did i missed it? thank you very much!

Can you help me with the “skirt” part? I understand you trace a tank top for the top part of the dress, what about the lower part?
McKenzie Reints
Hi McKenzie.
You wondered how the skirt part was made. It was all part of the same process but it is difficult to tell from the video. Let me see if I can help.

I hope that helps.

Come back and tell us how it goes.
You could always use an old bed sheet or pick up a duvet from a thrift store to test your pattern. This will also help you know what length of fabric you need to buy.
this is sweet, thanks for sharing this with me .
You are welcome
beautiful. I will put it in my favorites. I will make the same. And 1 thing more. You are beatiful, my gosh
Happy you like it
Oh, Sis, that is lovely

Thank you
@@OVOKE your welcome 😊
Love your make up!
omg... that is lovely... definitely going to make it...

Great video! I am making this pattern in gauze for a wedding party... How much you use for the width for your dress?
i love love LOVE this dress!! cant wait for summer to make and wear it. when you spread the tshirt, do you spread it until you come to the bottom of the dress? btw. you are so beautiful and i love your voice ❤️
I’m wondering this as well.
Vanessa Castro Chesterton i tried it out both ways: to spread it until the end (the bottom), and stop spreading on the knees. and if you go down till the end it looks beautiful, like in the video. only mistake i did, i had the wrong fabric. so in the last two years, since my posting i made this dress 4 times 😂 but i love it and you can wear it everywhere: if you go out, take a nice purse, a nice hair band... and you look chic, on the beach, in the garden... it looks amazing and i got asked alot from where i bought the dress 😂
Vanessa Castro Chesterton btw: if you have an old bed sheet you can try it out first. if you dont like it that wide, you can cut it smaller any time
wowww amazing plz more dresses share with us
Thank you
very nice! love the fabric.
Very beautiful thank you so much god blesse you 🙏❤
Iloveyou ovoke.. thank you for ur vlog.. im a fan of yours.. God bless
Thank you dear.
For those who are lost
The part where she puts the two papers together is the actual dress size and shape. The slits were just to widen the width.
The outline of the two papers together is how it should look
So how did she reconnect them? With more material? Or did she just reconnect the fabric where she mdade the cuts on the front piece?
Thank you for sharing, you are beautiful!
Fantastic
Are there any hand sewing videos that can show me how to do something like this ?? 😣
Do you have any tips on how to plan the pattern when you want the uop of the dress to be a bit more narrow than the bottom? Greetings from Germany ❤️
Love this!!!!! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful dress!! Great tutorial
Thank you
OVOKE Would this work the same with a knit? Also...do you think ankara would work as the woven fabric? I ask because it is not as flowy as your fabric
How many yards of fabric you have taken??
Love the into music.

OVOKE one thing i forgot to ask how did you measurement the length of the dress and straps (from where to where)
You really have to determine that youself, i measure from my chest for the lenght and my straps are 10 inches
I love it
Beautiful and easy dress. Thanks for sharing. Is the fabric cotton or a knit?
Is Woven
OVOKE Would this work the same with a knit?
