Hi everyone! Today's video is a step by step tutorial on how to transform a basic bodice block into a dress with princess seams. I have been asked before to make a tutorial on princess seams pattern making, so here it is! I really hope you guys like it. The dress I made has a boat neckline in the front, a flared a-line skirt, and a deep v neckline in the back. In this video I also teach you how to make the dress fully lined, so the inside looks really professional and well finished. If you'd like for me to work on a pattern for this style to add to my shop, please let me know in the comments!

So chic! And the shorts you wore while making this are identical to all the shorts I wore as a 17 thru 20 something year old girl! Nostalgia! Magnific!
Thank you, my dear! The shorts are actually thrifted and vintage! I love them so much.
@@coralinestreet then they could very well be an old pair of mine! What an amazing thought that is!
Please please please do more pattern making!! There's like no youtubers who do it ❤😢
I will 💜
There are! Don't know if I'm allowed to write their channel names here. But, they're both Vietnamese. One doesn't talk at all but the videos are SUPER CLEAR and easy to understand and follow
@@sweetLemonist I would love to know what their channels are called!
@@Amapola454 one is Thuy. She has multiple channels. Try with " Thuy sewing" first. Her videos are gold for beginners. The other one, you might know. It's Jess Dang. In her older videos she always explains how to make the pattern before she sews the item. Hope it helps.
@Amapola454 Jess Dang also makes pattern making video's. She makes it really easy to follow :).
Ficou perfeito!😍😍😍
Obrigada
Já estou aqui hahaha animada❤
Yay s2
Grata pelo vídeo! Amei sua explicação, estou aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 e falou os nomes brasileiros perfeitamente 😻🤩

What a beautiful design, and as usual, your instructions are so clear. I'll definitely buy this pattern!!
Could you show us how to add sleeves to make a winter version?
I would love to see how to add sleeves to this one also
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 💜
Beautiful design, sort of looks like the audrey hepburn dress!
Thank you! Yes, it does! I want to make a Black one too
Estou apaixonada por este vestido, é difícil encontrar moldes e peças realmente bonitas. Comprei os materiais para fazê-lo e estou esperando chegar.❤
Fico muito feliz de saber 💜
Hey Caroline!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing piece ❤ I'm thinking of making this dress with a square neck and I was thinking if I could make this dress out of a stretchy fabric I have so that I don't have to put on a zipper, what would you think about that?
Vest tutorial please! Thank you for sharing how to make my own bodice pattern ❤
I do really want to make one!
Nossa muito legal! Eu vi um vídeo da Bernadette Banner sobre costura a mão e fiquei com vontade de fazer um vestido a mão! Mas um mini primeiro 😂 não sou tão louca! Ficou perfeitooooo, vou estudar bastante sobre a modelagem antes, que sou noob demais kkkk faço apenas reparos e umas aplicações bestinhas, só que quero melhorar o game 💪🏼
Super neat
Thank you 💜
THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE SO FAR CALL IT ALICE BIAS PLZ
🤣 I already have a pattern named Alice, so I can't do that this time!
I love this! Do you have any tips for how to add pockets to this pattern?
I'm glad you liked it, my dear! You can follow this tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/thlzJj1EHiY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oNr7kgF-0xfzWGuH
Amazing video, thank you very much for it! I plan to try your basic pattern block tutorial as soon as I get my hands on some sturdy big paper, and this one probably in time as well!
I just wonder, how do you decide straight grain line angle? Perpendicular to the waist line?
You could try gluing some sheets of printer paper as well, to make a bigger sheet! That's how I used to do it in the beginning.
The grainline depends! In this case, I made it parallel to the center seam of the dress. It happens to also be perpendicular to the waist line this time, but that's not always the case! If it's confusing to you, please ignore the following part.
But for a better fit, sometimes we can't have the waist line being a straight line. Because of the design of this dress, and the diamond darts we have at the front and the back, it's okay for the waist line to be straight! But for some skirts, it's better to make it a bit lower at the front center seam of the skirt, and a bit higher at the back center seam (to accommodate the curves of the body better). So it's better to think of it as perpendicular to the floor, rather than perpendicular to the waist line! And when we're making half patterns, the center seam is usually perpendicular to the floor. So that's the line I usually use to base my grainline! But it's not a rule for all garments.
@@coralinestreet Thank you very much for your answer! And I still hope you will make pattern to buy for that purple dress!
This dress and model are stunning!! what fabric did you use? Thank you for your amazing channel, I've learned so much!
You're welcome, my dear! I used a mediumweight twill cotton canvas.
This is so cute!! thank you so much for the tutorial
Thank you! I used less than 1 meter
Lana del rey National Anthem vibes, beautiful dress! 🤍
Thank you 💜
Hi Coraline!! Your videos are amazing and I appreciate how well you explain everything. Would you be able to make a pattern for the yellow dress in the Barbie movie? It is my favourite dress of all time but I haven’t been able to find anything like it!!
When the movie came out it was also one of my favorite looks! I think I could hack the Aimee Bias Cut dress pattern to make it look similar, just adding a sleeve to it! If I end up making that, I'll let you know!
mds sigo a um tempo e nao sabia que era br 🤍🤍
hahaha
This is just gorgeous! I'm thinking about making my formal wedding dress in this princess style, only I want a completely straight but low neckline and then straps. Could i simply cut the pattern underneath the arms and add straps? ❤
If the neckline is straight and low, I think you would have a better fit if the front princess cut ended at the shoulders instead! You can watch this video here where I made it like this, maybe it will be more helpful: th-cam.com/video/WNQgAaBh6EA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Il9KxRXD-o7zntuv
The princess cut can be done following the already existing shoulder dart, but since it's a tight bodice, you'll probably need to enter a little bit on each side of the shoulder dart. Make a toile and test the fit before going for the more expensive fabric!
@@coralinestreet thank you for answering, I will try that! So sweet of you!
Hi Caroline, this dress is so pretty! Do you have a video anywhere showing how to draft an a-line dress with a side slit? I’d really like to make something like this but I don’t want to do it wrong and waste my fabric!
I made it in this video right here: th-cam.com/video/vyr43F8su_I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7xgLYfeLKoi6-xY6
But for the slit, you can follow the patternmaking process the same way I made this pattern. Since there are separate pattern pieces for the Center Front and Side Front, all you have to do is mark on the pattern how high you want your slit to hit, and when sewing the front panels together, you only sew up until that part. The rest you just have to hem. Watch the video so you can understand a bit better! But it's basically the same pattern as this one. The only thing that changes is the sewing part.
@@coralinestreet thanks!
Obrigada pela legenda ❤
De nada ❤️
Que tutorial excelente! Sei que tem a parte do busto e tudo mais mas você acha que daria certo de fazer pra usar dos dois lados? Em um momento com decote e em outro momento sem o decote.
Se você for que nem eu, um pouco mais "reta" na parte da frente, acho que até dá. Mas se o seu busto for grande, eu não recomendaria fazer esse estilo reversível com tecido plano. Acho que só daria certo se fosse com uma malha que estica. Porque pra acomodar o busto, você precisa das pences (nesse caso os recortes), e as costas não tem o mesmo volume da frente. Então se tiver pences grandes o suficiente nas costas pra acomodar o busto, e você deixar nas costas, o vestido vai ter um calombo nas costas hahaha mas com uma malha que estica bastante, você não precisaria de pences, então daria mais certo.
Where did you get your French curve ruler??
Can you please do the vest? It would look so good!
I really want to!
❤❤❤
s2
please make the vest too
I will!
Please make a long vest tutorial❤
Currently working on it!
If I wanted to make a dress with the same neckline and A-line shape but midi length, how would you go about it? Thank you!
When I'm drafting the skirt panel, I tell you to measure how long you want your skirt to be. Just make the center line longer, as much as you'd like. And I used 5cm/2 inches as a measurement to flare the skirt to the sides, but I recommend using more than that at the bottom if it's a long skirt. Maybe 15 cm? It will depend on how flared you want it!
I want to make this dress longer because I don't like short dresses (about knee lenght). Do you have any recommendations for that so that it doesn't look awkward?
If you're making it knee length, maybe it would be better to make it more flared at the hem, because if it's too form fitting you might have trouble walking. But if you'd like to make it tighter, I would recommend making a slit at the center back seam, so you don't get your movements restricted
Can you iron fabrics just on a plain table? Or is that a special table you had there?
I don't think we're supposed to do that at all 😂 but can you believe I don't own an ironing board? Need to get one hahaha
Você compra seus materiais de costura online? Se sim, aonde? Queria muito comprar réguas, esse quadriculado verde, etc. de algum site confiável. Aliás ficou lindo o vestido! ❤
Eu comprei minhas réguas no próprio curso que fiz, e o quadriculado verde comprei no Mercado Livre mesmo! Obrigada 💜
Qual curso você fez? Comecei a costurar tem pouco tempo e gosto muito de acompanhar seus vídeos. Parabéns pela explicação, muito boa!!
Is the 15cm for the darts same for everyone?
In the book I'm reading, darts should end atleast 3/4 inch before the fullest measurement. So you may want to draw your hip measurement in before you do the lower waist dart. Your waist and hip line might be closer or further apart so it's worth a bit of trial and error
Your final pattern pieces do not appear to have seam allowance added to the side seams, is this correct?
Yes, you are correct! The reason for that is because in my Basic Bodice Block tutorial I already included 1 cm seam allowance at the sides when drafting the pattern. So the sides already had seam allowance! And for the skirt I also added 1cm seam allowance at the hips when drafting (the waist measurement used was the same one as the bodice, with seam allowance included!)
I reckon it could be a bit confusing, so I'm sorry for that! I should have mentioned it in the video!
can i make the pattern without the princess seams? I just want to use the darts but i don't know if it works
You would need to sew the darts close, and only draw the neckline on the pattern once the sholder dart is closed. I personally think it looks more smooth with the method I made, separating the front and back into 2 parts. Sometimes the darts can look a bit pointy. And if you're lining, it might be too volumnous. But it's up to you! You can try it out and tell me if it worked out.
Can we make denim dress with this pattern?
Yes!
what fabric did you use?
Cotton canvas
