OMG that dress is so flattering. The color and style are perfect for you.
Thank you so much!
You look great in that dress. The color is very complimentary on you.
Thank you so much!
You look so pretty! Love the fit of this dress on you. One of your most flattering dresses!
Thank you so much!
This dress is gorgeous on you! My favorite so far.
It’s on my list of favorites as well!
Gorgeous dress on the hanger, and even better on you :) Fit and color are perfect. Very, very nice Whitney!
Thank you so much!
Looks gorgeous Whitney. I'm another huge Itch ti Stitch fan. Thanks for the review.
I just love all her stuff!
Fabulous in every way!
Thank you so much!
Very nice dress and looks great with boots!
Thank you!
Beautiful color and dress.
Thank you!
First, never every feel you need to apologize, family first always. Glad the school year is coming together for you and your children. Can’t even imagine the challenge parents are going through. Love love love that dress on you, great color and fabric choice. I saw a review for the dress done up in a different fabric and really didnt care for the look, but after seeing yours I just might order that pattern. I have never sewn Itch to Stich pattern, glad to hear it comes in cup sizes. You always do such a great job, thanks for sharing and caring.
It’s my pleasure! This is the second knit pattern that she’s done in cup sizes (most of her woven ones have cup sizing) and I’m so glad she’s started doing that. Getting a great fit is so easy!
So cute! Love the color!
Thank you! I really love the color as well!
Love those cooler months too! It’s been such a hot summer and I’ve only got air conditioning in my bedroom at my moms house so i spent the summer holed up in here sewing. I’m closing on my new place on the 15th so will be decorating my sewing space and hope to start a channel filming the process. I love this dress! I’ll order one right now plus I think there was some thing else I wanted but was waiting for a new release as a reminder. I’m big on long sleeve tees under things like this, I love the tight turtleneck idea too, have to have it Thanks Whitney!
How exciting - a new sewing space to set up!!
Such a classic dress. I didn't have the time to be a pattern tester for this. So gorgeous on You, the colour is perfect 😁😁😁
It is definitely a classic dress!
Really like this dress! It slims your figure...not that you need it, but it does slim you with the style lines. The color is perfect for you. I agree that you could put a top under it for Winter. I purposefully made some turtlenecks and turtleneck shells to wear under some of my tops for Winter. I found that using a poly or nylon fabric worked best so the outer piece slides over the under piece. I tried cotton over cotton once and that was a big fail! LOL. Won't be doing that again... Thanks for the review. It looks great!
Thank you, Peggy! Yes, cotton over cotton never works well 😂.
It's Gorgeous!!!! 💜💜
Thank you so much!
That dress looks soo good on you!
Thank you!
Really Whitney I think you should wear this dress ALWAYS! Absolutely perfect on you - the swing of the skirt and the fit on the bodice AND that colour - WOW!
Thank you! When she sent the line drawing for the test, this dress formed immediately in my head. I love it!
God first, Family second-and work-wherever it fits in!! +)
The dress fits you nicely, and looks wonderful-great color!!
Have a terrific week! :+)
You are spot on!
The dress looks great on you.
Thank you!
You look beautiful in dress! I love this dress. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Love love love that dress! And the colour on you is fantastic! I’m so jealous of the price you paid on that fabric.
Thank you! I am so glad I grabbed the bolt. It felt like it was probably a rayon, but I couldn’t be sure until I got home and could burn it. It was definitely a steal!
What a lovely dress! The fabric is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. ❤️ I’m glad you took some time when you needed it.
Thank you! It’s been a busy week, but we’re coming out the other side!
Two things - first, you look really, really good in that dress. Total win on the pattern and color with how it flatters you. Second, what is it with all you auburn-haired people and your love of fall? Two of my most precious friends are gingers and they love fall. I love summer, so we're always shaking our heads at each other. They're always saying "it's too hot and humid, you can have this horrible weather, where's the A/C?" and I'm always saying "It's too cold, everything's dying, it's gonna be all cloudy and dreary now!" I think it's genetic with you auburn-heads! I think the one and only thing I like about cold weather is that you can wear boots. Which, btw, yours look fabulous with that dress 😁 🍁👎☀️🥵🏝🌺👍
😂 that’s funny! Fall has been my favorite season my whole life. If I had to pick between cold and hot weather, I always choose the cooler.
That dress is gorgeous on you-really love the colour.I think u r right-will look good with so many things
It’s going to be a wardrobe workhorse this Fall!
Lovely style and colour for you! You look great in this dress x
Thank you!
Love it! You could even put the shirt you're wearing over it (on a cool day) and it would work as a skirt! 😍😍
Definitely!
Gorgeous color- one of your best!
Thank you!
That is a beauty! Makes your waist look minute. Love it and the color is gorgeous.
Well that’s the best compliment I’ve heard all day! Thank you!
That dress looks great on you. I love that color.
Thank you!
Even when you are just holding up the dress it looks gorgeous against your face. Loving your color transformation more and more!
Thank you! It really is shocking what a difference wearing “my colors” makes!
Love the dress and color on you! I too was a tester. This is the most amazing dress pattern, it's looks amazing on everyone.
I agree! It looks fantastic on all the testers!
The dress is so pretty and you look FANTASTIC in it!
Thank you so much!
Another home run! Love the color, and the dress is SO flattering on you! These things are just getting better and better! It’s just gorgeous, Whitney!
Thank you so much! I’m very happy with it!
Love, love, love the dress also the colour is gorgeous too.
Thank you!
Lovely dress. Gorgeous colour. Glad to hear things are settling down. 💕
Thank you! We are starting to settle into a routine!
Fabulous! 👍
Thank you!
Love it!! I like the cooler months -- but not the cold ones!! Having lived in Indiana, I can honestly say I don't miss the deep winter up there. I'm in Memphis and winter here is just fine - but May to September? Yikes. Good thing it's been a mild summer here this year! PS I do like the thought of the layered look. You'll have to try it!
Thank you! I will definitely play around with the layered look!
The dress looks beautiful on you. I agree that it is your perfect dress pattern.
Thank you!
You know Whitney, I don't think you should be apologising to us ever for anything. I think we should just be grateful that you make vids. That color....amazing on you.
Aww. Thank you!
the dress matches well with the t shirt you are wearing for layering too. Definitely a colour for you! Lovely.
You’re right! I noticed that when I was editing the footage!
What a lovely dress!! I wear mostly easy peasy dresses around the house due to comfort and this dress adds classic lines to the comfort. Good review!
It would be perfect for that!
Hi Whiteney, Your Kids school lessens comr first, as is very important for us. The dress looks great on you.
Thank you, Cheryl. We are finally figuring out our schedule and things are calming down!
Love the dress and the color is perfect on you. When you get kids schedules down pat something will change!
Thank you! We are starting to get a schedule and routine down. Things are definitely getting better!
I had forgotten about your boots! They look fantastic with this dress, which is so "you", Whitney!
I agree. I can’t wait to pull them back out!
Your version of Megan Nielsen's Matilda dress is the best I have seen so far! I wonder if you made any alterations to achieve that look, bcs on everybody else the waist sits too high and the dress is too tight in the waist area. I didn't find a Matilda video, that is why I am writing here.
Thank you! I made that dress before the channel which is why it never made it on here. I did a FBA on the pattern and left the added width from that in the waist. I loved that dress, but unfortunately, ruined that version in a laundry mishap. I need to make another one!
Love the dress - great fabric choice! Looks great on you!
Thank you!
That colour is amazing on you, I love how you styled the dress! You make me want to get my colours done as well.
Thank you! The color analysis really was a game changer for me!
This is a great dress and it looks great on you. Love it with the boots!!
Thank you! I love it with the boots as well.
LOVE the dress. looks great on you!!!
Thank you!
I bought that pattern yesterday as soon as I saw it. It’s perfect to hide my mid-life midriff. I love that it has cup sizes- no FBA needed! I’m hoping to get my muslin cut this weekend. So glad to hear that you and your family are settling into your new school routine. The adjustments are difficult for so many- parents are really stepping up though.
It’s such a good pattern! You’re going to love it!
Your dress is really gorgeous...it’s so my style I love it and the colour is perfect... I think I need this 🥰xx
It sewed up so easily and is so comfortable to wear!
Such a gorgeous dress on you Whitney 👌💕😁...you need some more of those in your wardrobe I think 👍. I love it with the boots too 😍👌😘
I agree! It’s a great dress!
Love this dress on you! The color is perfect!
Thank you!
This looks beautiful on you! Bought with your affiliate...plus another I've had in my basket for awhile! Xx
Oh good!
Your Antrim dress was my favorite of all the tester makes and it looks great on you! Love that warm neutral color. I wish there were some brick and mortar fabric shops near me - especially ones with those kind of prices. I miss the experience of seeing everything and being able to feel fabrics.
It was definitely a good fabric shopping day when I scored this haul. So far, I’ve been very pleased with everything I’ve sewn up!
So nice. My imagination is all over this...hope I can snag this before the sale ends.
She usually runs it for a week!
Love it!! Looking for that color myself. Getting the pattern right now!
Oh good! It’s a really great pattern!
Hi Whitney, this dress suits your figure so much! It is one of my favorite test makes so far. Can you please recommend a suitable fabric that is flowy and moves well, not too thin. I don't want a fabric that hugs your body and off all your lumps and bumps. I would be grateful for your suggestions. Jenny
I made mine out of a rayon ribbed knit, however, one of the suggested fabrics (and one many of the testers used) is double brushed poly. It think it’s a bit warm to wear, but if you’re making something for cooler weather it could be a good option! You could also do this one in a lightweight ponte. Something with a high percentage of viscose or rayon would drape nicely. Cotton/spandex jersey would work good for skimming over bumps. It would create a fuller skirt because it doesn’t drape as much, but that can be beautiful!
Love the color. I am expecting next month and this would be a perfect nursing-friendly option!
This would be a fabulous nursing dress! Congrats!!
Great dress design. Layer that one with your tee! I like that color too. Thank you, Whitney. ~ L
I noticed how well they went together when I was editing 😂.
Hi Whitney, That’s a lovely dress. The color in the lines are just perfect. Would you say that’s a soft classic design? I’m still trying to figure out what I am.
I would classify it as soft classic. I had a hard time picking as well, but once I settled on soft classic it really made the most sense.
😀
❤️
You mention your "colors" often. Is there a particular service that you recommend? Do you think the free tests or quizzes online do an adequate job? I always thought I leaned more toward warm, but the couple of online tests that I've done suggest that I'm a soft summer. Would love your thoughts! P.S. I just went to the Zinck's in Lancaster, PA (based on your recommendation) on Monday and did a huge haul! I'm going to record a video on my finds this week :) I just searched on your channel and found the video where you tell about your color matching experience - watching it now!!
Yay for Zinck’s! I was blown away by my professional assessment and it has totally changed my wardrobe for the better!
Can we talk about the shirt your wearing? I’m sure you’ve probably shared a million times, but what pattern is that? It’s has a very flattering neckline.
Thank you! This is a thrifted t-shirt, but I think I’m going to have to make a pattern off of it because I do love it!
Love you in this dress! The style, color, fit and even the length is perfect for you! Btw, did you have to do your normal narrow shoulder adjustment?
Thank you! I actually don’t have to do narrow shoulder adjustments on the Itch to Stitch patterns. Aside from shortening, they fit me as is!
Whitney, I too am 5'2" with a short torso (size C cup), so I know I will always have to shorten the bodic. You mentioned you shortened your bodic. Did you consider making the petite bodic adjustment or based on the cup size option did you find that it wasn't necessay. I'm getting ready to make the Antrim and will of course make a muslin but was wondering what your thoughts were. Thanks a bunch. I really enjoy your channel and your sweet personality.
When I’m sewing patterns with cup sizes, I find I can make smaller sizes that fit my frame better. Because of that, I usually don’t have to do a petite adjustment. I sometimes shorten the bodice if I need to raise the waist to sit on my high waist.
@@TomKatStitchery thank you very much.
I wish wish wish I could wear a dress like that!! My stomach sticks out too much. I'm thin everywhere else and have a small bust. But from my profile, I look pregnant!
Oh, mine does as well. When I’m having some autoimmune inflammation, mine does the same thing!
@@TomKatStitchery Ah, but at least you have a bustline to offset it! A profile of a dress on me falls from the neckline straight out to my stomach because I have no measurable bustline to balance it. Well, we all have our unique challenges!
Love that colour - do you think it's Marsala - the Pantone colour of the year a few years ago? Here's a link www.housebeautiful.com/uk/decorate/g25463774/pantone-colour-of-the-year/?slide=16. That dress is definitely on my list for autumn sewing.
I like the cooler months too - I just love getting my sweaters and woollens out and putting away all that flimsy cotton! My friend and I are counting down to OTD - that's 'Opaque Tights Day' for the uninitiated - the first day it's cold enough get out the opaque tights. 😀
I love OTD! I love the cooler weather as well! The color of the dress is mix between a rust and a caramel. It’s brown, but there’s definitely orange in there as well. It was so unique that I bought the rest of the bolt 😂.
It’s a beautiful dress. I have a question. What coverstitch machine do you have and would you recommend the brand. I’m considering buying one and don’t know where to start. Thanks
I have a Janome CoverPro 900x that I just got this summer. I love it and would definitely recommend it!
TomKat Stitchery ......thanks so much for your reply, I will go to my dealership and try one out!
How does the fit and construction compare to the Willow pattern?
I’d say it’s similar. I do like the waistband on this dress as it adds more of a waist to my body, but they are pretty similar.
Is this beginner dress? Thank you
I’d say a beginner could do this one!
@@TomKatStitchery thank you
LOL too funny! I want to cover my boobs too! Hahahaha! I absolutely love that colour on you! I think I will be buying this pattern! Do you think you could use a lighter weight scuba? For the warmer fall weather you could wear it with your natural coloured wedges with ivory/beige accessories (woven rope style stretchy belt etc).
You could definitely use a lighter weight scuba. That will give you a pretty full skirt, but that would be beautiful!
@@TomKatStitchery Thanks Whitney, ordered the pattern and have it downloaded ready to print! If I used power mesh in the waist band of a regular knit, not the scuba do you think that would offer more support for the fabric to stay where it's suppose to if the fabric is a bit too light? I have a fall patterned knit that is more 'fluffy' for the lack of a better way to explain it, almost like a very light sweater knit. And thought I could line the bodice and waist with a light power mesh to keep the integrity of the fabric, would that work or am I grasping here? lol
Cecile Hoare I think a power net in the inner waistband would be perfect! It would definitely add some support through there.
