Great review and your dress looks absolutely stunning on you. Thanks so much for covering the design details, sadly missing elsewhere. You've done a lot of viewers a big favour! Cheers ❤
Love the dress on you! That fabric is awesome. Agree about the bias binding- I hate doing it and I don't like facings either. I would line the bodice in a light batiste and have it look smooth and plain all around the neckline and armholes.
I'm so glad I saw this because I bought the pattern. I was holding off making it until a little later in the summer, or if we ever go back to the office. I really liked the long sleeved version.
Super cute. I’ve looked at this pattern lots but have never purchased. Adorable in sleeveless version. Never once occurred to me that topstitching bias armholes and necks looks sportier. Never! I detest facings and avoid them unless I have no choice.
Pockets are getting to be important to me. I hate carrying a purse! I've made this pattern before but I think I'd like to do it again. Previously I used a lightweight poly woven that I grabbed from Hobby Lobby. But I like the sateen on you - I think this would be really cute in even just a quilting cotton. I made the maxi but the shorter version looks so cute on you I may try that. The back of this dress is what really makes it - the way it dips down and fits is so pretty. That with the pockets makes it winner in my book! ❤️ p.s. Anti-waistliners unite ✊
Thank you for reviewing this pattern. I own it and wAs just thinking about whipping it up..... now I’m gonna HAVE to! It’s cute and flowy,,, just what I need in *100+ heat.
From a distance it had a animal print vibe, then as you got closer i could see it isnt. You do such a good job. Very professional looking. You are very inspiring. I love your channel
Cute cute cute. I made this dress and the bodice was perfect. Length was fine for me. I'm 5'2". I'll definitely make another dress from this pattern. Thank you for your videos as they are always inspiring. It's very interesting to see how different fabrics look on a patttern. The bias tape looks perfect on this dress. Personally I would use bias on everything vs facings.
I love this little dress! Cotton sateen is one of my favorite fabrics to wear in the summer. Honestly, I feel facings are still a preference for me. Bias bindings seem like they would be quicker and might be for some people. I just think a longer facing gives the garmet a high end professional appearance. But, to each his own.
So cute! I agree about the top stitching, but I'm learning to like it more than I used to. And the no floppy pockets stance: Absolutely!! My next venture is to put pockets in a brand new RTW jean jacket. Yes, with alllll those front seams, there are no pockets. Figuring it out but will probably need to resort to inside pockets only. Oh well, lesson learned.
Very cute Lindsey:) I dislike floppy pockets also, so I don’t usually add them. I liked your method of sewing them into the waist seam, they look much better that way:)
I love the fabric choice of cotton sateen. I do like the print also. If I were to make this dress, I would definitely line the top. I very thin cotton lawn would work just fine and keep the dress cool. Also, a nice day to film your review.
I’m thinking of using a voile next time. Also, it’s so hard to find good days to film anymore. Either it’s too sunny or raining. So I gotta siege the moment on these in the middle days. I’m trying to decorate my patio to get more used space. If it comes together like how I have in my head I’ll be able to film outside any day I want.
Love the fabric and pattern! May have to try it since I'm 5' (according to my license lol). You're like Beyonce with your hair and dress flowing in the breeze!
Cute dress! I love your pattern description! I think I would like to make this for my daughter who is 5'1", but she has a large bust. Do you think I could make it work for her?
I started to make this and came to see what people are saying about it. And what do you know - you have made it and reviewed it! The envelope tells me I should make size 16, while I'm normally 10-12. Was it way oversized or have they adjusted their sizing, everybody?
I could see what you were talking about the sporty look, when you did the close up of the armhole. Love your review and love the dress. Your fabric looked very flowy for a cotton sateen, I think I might choose a lighter weight cotton for me since I live in sw Florida. Just what I've been looking for. My go to dress. Thanks
Awesome job everything you sew is beautiful ❤️On Facebook if you look up bias tape maker kit that makes it look real easy also there’s a special foot you can add for your sewing machine that does the bias binding it’s new and looked neat the website for it was called greenstress .com give it a try .
I agree with the topstitching issue...I don't like it either so I hand stitch the binding down for a cleaner look. Cute dress for the summer ! Love cotton sateen...
Is it really gathered? It looks for all the world like pleats, both on the pattern drawings, sample, and your make. Also, I TOTALLY agree with you on the top stitching. There are some garments/ fabrics where top stitching just looks out of place. I usually avoid the whole facing or other neck edge finish by lining the bodice. I just usually find it a quick and easy work around
Recently bought this same pattern. Anxious to get busy and get it sewn.
I like your clear and concise review. Attempting this pattern on my beginner sewing class

What a cute little dress 👗 Particularly love that empire line and I did not notice any top stitching at all! x
From a distance it had a animal print vibe, then as you got closer i could see it isnt. You do such a good job. Very professional looking. You are very inspiring. I love your channel
Adorable! I’m making one tomorrow in linen.
Linen is perfect for this dress!
I have this pattern Lindsey, thanks for showing me what it looks like made up. It looks FAB on you. 😙
I love the look of that pattern. I have it so you made me love it more. Great fabric choice. You look so cool and cute.

Very cute, thanks for the practical information .
Very pretty! Love the flow! I would have to make it longer too!
So cute! I agree about the top stitching, but I'm learning to like it more than I used to. And the no floppy pockets stance: Absolutely!!

I almost bought this pattern the other day but put it back down. Maybe now I'll get it. You make it look so cute!
Thank you for the input. I have been holding on to this pattern for a year. I’m 4’10” sooooo I’ll definitely will be making this lol
Very cute Lindsey:) I dislike floppy pockets also, so I don’t usually add them. I liked your method of sewing them into the waist seam, they look much better that way:)
Super cute and breezy (literally!)
Lol. There were so many outtakes because this isn’t “that” kind of channel! Lol! 🤭
Really cute dress and I love the fabric..looks so good on you!😍
I really like the dress. And like you I don't like using bias tape to finish off necklines and arm holes. But that seems to be popular right now.

Really cute dress. Looks great!! Nice job, thinking about making one for our granddaughter....:+)
Thanks!
Pretty. I love the fabric. I have this pattern. Will have to try it. I am 5'3"

Lol. Mother Nature’s diva fan! Haha!
Cute dress! I love your pattern description! I think I would like to make this for my daughter who is 5'1", but she has a large bust. Do you think I could make it work for her?
The width of the pattern seems fine. So just double check finished garment measurements and you should be good.
HOW does it fit you like that out of the envelope? I have still yet to have that glorious experience. It looks great on you ❤
Really cute!
I started to make this and came to see what people are saying about it. And what do you know - you have made it and reviewed it! The envelope tells me I should make size 16, while I'm normally 10-12. Was it way oversized or have they adjusted their sizing, everybody?
Normally a 10-12 in simplicity patterns?
Very cute!
Love this on you and your pattern chice
I could see what you were talking about the sporty look, when you did the close up of the armhole. Love your review and love the dress. Your fabric looked very flowy for a cotton sateen, I think I might choose a lighter weight cotton for me since I live in sw Florida. Just what I've been looking for.
My go to dress. Thanks
Love it
Looks great. I am your size but i look terrible in a dress like that.
Might try it on days oof!
Have you used a bias binding foot? Also, I was thinking of lining this bodice anyway to avoid having to wear a bra.
I haven’t. My machine doesn’t love all those super special feet. Have you?
@@InsidetheHem It's been many years, but I'll be pulling it out to make pot holders (a safe project to practice on).
Awesome job everything you sew is beautiful ❤️On Facebook if you look up bias tape maker kit that makes it look real easy also there’s a special foot you can add for your sewing machine that does the bias binding it’s new and looked neat the website for it was called greenstress .com give it a try .
I will look it up!!! Thanks!!
I agree with the topstitching issue...I don't like it either so I hand stitch the binding down for a cleaner look. Cute dress for the summer ! Love cotton sateen...
Beautiful. Simplicity just revamp the envelope. That pattern has been around for a while. Love your pattern selection from Mood....

You are cute as a button in that sundress! It's not too short - just use sunscreen - lol.
Toooo short but. Sooo cute
I know I know. I did the best I could with what I had though.
@@InsidetheHem This length would be good for swimsuit cover up if you don't want to be flashing anyone.
