- Two flowy dresses with woven fabrics, a V neckline, princess seams, practical pockets and discreet gathers make this design comfortable, but not boxy thanks to the well-fitting cup sizes. I have made 2 Celeste dresses from Itch to Stitch: one without changes as a pattern tester and the second one, with a two tier gather hack to the center. Super cute. Come and join all the practical sewing in this video!
The Celeste Dress from Itch to Stitch has been updated to include sizes 00-40US (A-DD cup sizes) and is 20% OFF through Monday 30th of August 2021. This is my affiliate link, thank you for supporting me 😊

I love your explanation style! Detailed without being too slow. Sometimes videos of this type make me very impatient but this one didn't. I also really appreciate your reassuring tone and the "old school" techniques--Im that way too.
I really appreciate this video because the way you show and explain the construction tells me more about how it will fit and look on me and how easy it is.
I came back to watch your video. And refresh my memory on the techniques. I'm testing the extended sizes. Thank you for all your videos.
How exciting! You’ll love the Celeste. One of my all time faves :)
That V neck technique is very nice!
Both dresses are very pretty.
You are helping me be more creative.
Great video. So glad I found your site. The dress pattern and fabric are flattering. Looking forward to viewing your past and future videos.
That gathered tier on the second dress is brilliant!
Thank you so much
Awesome job on both versions and very flattering! The second brings to mind a date night with dinner and dancing. Great tweaks to an already beautiful dress design. Thank and Bless you.
Your problem solving amazes me. You are so talented.
Thank you so much 😊. I learnt this in my teens from my great aunt. She’d do so many things with minimal fabric and even though it’s more time consuming... I still enjoy it :)
Hi Karina: I just found your channel a few days ago and am so impressed. I love your presentations and very clear instructions! Your joy for sewing is contagious! I have been away from sewing for a number of years, but am excited to get back to it! I love Itch-to-Stitch patterns but what a bonus to have your sew alongside. One of my first makes is going to be this dress. In fact you have inspired me to start wearing more dresses! Thank you, sending love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Both dresses are wonderful. Lots of pieces but it wont put me off as I can watch what you did!
You can do it! It's a lot of fun to assemble :) and worth it to have a gorgeous dress.
Thank for the tutorial on the v-neck construction.😊
You’re welcome 😊
I bought this pattern awhile back, it’s printed and ready to put together. So glad to see this video for those great tips. Thanks!
Yay! You’ll love it.
Hi there, love love the second dress and the hack. Great job
Thank you so much 😊
Both versions of this dress are simply BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you so much 😊
Oh my goodness, this popped up for me a YEAR after you made it! I surely do love watching you sew and learning your tips and tricks. Thank you!
Love these tutorials. So practical in a super cute accent!
Love the zipper under the arm. I have issues with my shoulders. Will definitely be trying this dress.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. You make it seem so easy. I haven't worn a dress in 30 years but I'm considering this one. I made the Danube skirt after watching your video and I love it. Looking forward to more videos.
I’m so glad the Danube was a hit for you. You’ll have it for years to come :)
Dresses are so fun. I wear one daily and wear pants not too often.
That dress looks great on you. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I am glad I belong to you Patreon group... the tips and tricks you show are mind-blowing!!!!
Thank you so much 😊 for being there!
Hi Karina, thank you for your review and details I loved it. Both versions are beautiful. Val❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
It’s beautiful Karina
Thank you so much 😊
Love the bright printed version with the two tiers of gathering!!
Thank you so much 😊
Wow both dresses are so beautiful! really flattering! I am so encouraged to make one, I really love the sleeveless one and that twist in design is so amazing! 💓
What a gorgeous dress! Beautiful work as always. 🥰🌺
Thank you so much for this video. I have had this pattern for a year but only got the courage to attempt the dress after watching your video! My dress looks beautiful and I am making a 2nd one with a more flowy fabric now. Will be making plenty more of this pattern - fun sew and great comfortable dress for our South African year round summer ;-)
Very inspiring fabrics for that pattern. So pretty. Its funny how over the years some of my most loved and complemented garments were "altered" because of lack of enough fabric! LOL
Yes! For sure. Creativity needs a push sometimes.
Love love love it.
This tiered dress hack is my most favourite dress that you have made. It's really lovely, flattering and a beautiful print.
Mine too! I’ve wanted to do something similar in a knit and with a V neckband.
Cute dress. Looks great!! Thank you for all your instructions!
Wow! Both of those dresses are super cute! Not only that but it looks like it would be super comfortable💕🦋
They are super comfy! Best of both worlds, cute AND comfy :)
So many good things to say about this video. First, your lipstick color is great. If it is the same one then the lighting was extra good when you filmed. I am crazy for the fabrics you used. The black, typically not my go to color made me think of pinecones. When my kids when young we would take craft paint and gather leaves, acorns, pinecones, etc. The tapered white design looks like the pine cones we painted and pressed onto a tablecloth. The multi-color dress I am naming fractured geodes. It is a wonderful fabric and you wear your birthday gift well. So many tips that will make my sewing better and may even make me use rayon. Your ideas and problem solving shows your skill level. Thank-you for sharing your talents. Any thoughts of using 2 fabrics, one for the center panels and another for the remainder of the dress. Have a wonderful day.
The lipstick is RED, love it and feel great and very me with a red lip. When I wear clothes that don’t go with red, I use a dark dark pink and those are the only colors I use. Simple :)
Pairing with pine cones sounds so fun! Using two fabrics is a great option. I was limited in my choices this time.
Both dresses are really nice . I really like the tiered one the best
Thank you so much 😊
LOVE this!
Thank you so much 😊
I love your hack version...fabric, shape, tiers, sleeveless, everything!
Thank you so much!
Im so sad i found your review of this dress a day after the discount had ended! Just my luck. Lol! Thank you for all the videos you do. They're very helpful!
Oh :(
If you subscribe and tap on the bell, you’ll see my videos pop up faster :)
This is such a different construction with the pockets than I've ever seen before. Lots of pieces so it's definitely something I would need a few days to focus on uninterrupted.
I really liked these pockets and they are simple, compared to others with pocket bags. It's a fun make, so fun, that I made two in two days :)
Lovely I like both on you .As always great video
Thank you so much 😊
Love this
Both versions are outstanding. Great tip on the sleeveless version. Your videos are so well made and easy to understand. Thank you!
I’m so glad you liked the video :)
Great job! I enjoyed how you explained everything.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I truly enjoyed your explanation for the construction of this dress. Thank you for your help. Feliz día.
Smart solutions as usual.
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent video. I like the two dresses you created and the thorough instructions for assembly and for the hack. Really well done. Suggestion on the sleeveless armhole: why not take the sleeveless armhole from a pattern that you have tested and trace it on to this one. Front and back. Might save a lot of fussing.
About transferring the armscye, I would consider doing that with a knit garment, but with a woven, I need to consider how the bust will fit. This pattern has princess seams and already fits my bust with minimal armcyse gaping. What I did was easier than any other method. I would not be happy to just trace another armhole from a woven pattern drafted differently.
You have just made two of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen on you and I love them! Wow! Very well done! Yeaaaaa!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you. This was great and cleared up some confusion I had after reading the pattern instructions. The instructions are good, I'm just inexperienced. You are clever, lovely, and appreciated.
I’m do happy this simplified the pattern for you. You’ll love it :)
Love this pattern and your great hack. Also happy that you can leave out the zipper. 😊 🇨🇦
A zipper is always uncomfortable and this design does not need it... yay!
That is an interesting pattern! Love all the seam lines, like the look and it helps with fitting. Nice hack. You’re so creative. 💕
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful dresses, I love that vee construction, I’m going to adopt it , also.
It’s brilliant. So far, I’d sew all the way up, sew over the seam allowance and then snip and trim like mad to avoid the bulk 🤦🏻♀️. This is so much better.
I am in love with this Pattern! Both dresses look beautiful on you Karina! Thanks for all the tips and tricks.💕
I’m glad you liked it. I’m totally enamored 🥰
Again anything you pick is beautiful , didn’t think I. Would like it I love it
Usually princess seams and cup sizes are a combination that work :) Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I think it will be so helpful when I tackle this pattern.
Karina, you are so very talented and creative! I just love your work. Everything is sewn so exquisitely.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful pattern from Itch to Stitch again! I love your versions, Katrina!
Thank you so much!
Thank you Karina, you did it again... I love this pattern, I always prefer to see it made before I buy... Living in Southern Africa Patterns get so expensive our exchange rate is 18 - 1 US$ so need to know if it's worth the money. I would like to make the sleeve longer how do you suggest I do this... Stay Safe, Jody
I will rarely do this but I found an article that explains how I would do this based on another well fitting sleeve to get the right length and width of the wrist. www.mybluprint.com/article/how-to-make-sleeves-longer
Beautiful Dresses Karina, they look great on you. Love the Fabrics . You inspired me to make that Dress.
Thanks so much. 🤗
Enjoy! It’s so comfy.
I really love your two versions of this beautiful dress.You look so gorgeous in both of them!!!
Thank you so much!
Both versions were so pretty. I am going to give this pattern a try. Thank you for all of your hard work.
You’ll really love it :)
This looks like such a nice casual chic dress. I think it would look especially nice with the center front and back panels in one color and a contrast fabric for the sides!
Yup I agree. It would look super cool.
Beautifully done Karina! Both dresses look amazing on you. Stunning work as usual.
Thank you so much 😊. I loved sewing them.
Thank you for the excellent explanation of the details! From fabric choices to hacks to stitch length, and the explanations of why the techniques work...all such great information. The dresses are beautiful and clearly, I am going to have to buy this pattern and make this!
I’m so glad you liked the video. I love making them. The sale is about to end 😊. Today is the last day.
These dresses are so beautiful! I love both fabrics, the colours of the second one 😍
My son actually chose that one for me!
Looks like a great dress for summer and working at home. I do wish there were a few more sizes up, but maybe there is enough ease to not have to do too much work to get it to fit.
I know Itch to Stitch is working on sizes 22-40 for future patterns. It’s in the works.
Thanks so much, love all the tips and tricks, and the dress is lovely. Cheers Mary
Thank you so much 😊
Impeccable sewing as always. I love both dresses but the second one is my favorite.
Thank you so much 😊
What an absolutely gorgeous pattern!! such my style....especially your second print rayon...it is everything that is me!!!!! Love that sneaky trick for the armhole xxxxxxxxxxxx
Sneaky when it’s possible 😄. Thank you so much 😊
This looks amazing on you! I love all of the details and the neckline technique produced such a nice finish!!
I’ll be sewing my V necks with a seam this way going forward. It’s so neat.
Such a great video showing so many great techniques, Karina! And it looked like you pattern-matched the pocket pieces?! That's amazing!
If I did match them, it was unintentional 😄. Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful as usual Karina!! Creative thinking for sure on the Rayon one!!
Thank you! 😊 I was so happy sewing it and seeing it come to life.
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing Fit. You did it again!
Oh thank you!
I have just bought this pattern and have some linen fabric to use. I am about 30 years older than you and do not like to wear sleeves that short. Do you have a video showing how to lengthen the sleeve when that is not an option in the pattern? And your two dresses are absolutely beautiful. The 2 tiers was genius!!
th-cam.com/video/X_ZQUuyD-0Y/w-d-xo.html in this one I made the regular sleeve longer. It’s another pattern but it’s for woven and the concept is the same :)
😍😍😍
La necesidad es la madre de los inventos :-) nice hack!
My hack: drapey denim block it by using a lighter shade of blue for the middle panel, decorative zipper at the upper front panel ;-), even teenagers would like that hack (I think)
I LOVE your hack! I'd make it with tencel that has the shade of blue as denim. I might do that!! can I?
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles of course, I love sharing my ideas and I would love to see it when you make it ;-)
Awesome :)
You are so resourceful with making a 2 level ruffle. I would not have thought of that. By the way, the pattern’s name « Celeste » is also a French word , meaning heavenly.
Well our languages come from Latin and it actually means heavenly in Spanish too, in another context 😀. I took it from the color he he. In English it could be “celestial”. Languages are always very interesting.
Love this, Karina!
I decided to but it but cant make your affiliate link work.
All you need to do it click on it and it’ll take you to the pattern. That’s it. You don’t need to do anything extra because it’s an automated process 😃
This is amazing. I adore this pattern and your two dresses. I would add long sleeves and wear with knee high boots for fall winter wear. I am deeply inspired. Thank you for sharing your skill, enthusiasm and creativity. Best wishes from Canada.
Sounds great! Your take is awesome. I miss having winter so bad because I love the look of boots. I have them in all colors and miss wearing them.
Beautiful dress!! Especially love the colorful graphic one. Ordering the pattern. Question: how about using a stable knit? I love the care factor of knits and most of my sewing is with knits. Never want to iron when I can avoid it. Thanks for a very good step by step tutorial.
I thought about knits but would attempt this with a lighter flowy one due to the gathers. They would be bulky with a ponte, for example. I would size down one size and finish the neckline with a V neckband instead.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thanks for the guidance!!
I Love this dress and have bought the pattern. I just want to know why you don’t recommend rayon? I love the drape of yours and it seems to work perfectly. 🌺
I took special care to interface the whole front piece and edges of the bodice to conserve their shape. It’s not part of the instructions to do so because rayon is not a recommended fabric. I don’t recommend it unless the extra steps are taken because rayon will stretch out a lot :)
You are perfect as always! Such a beautiful dress, I bought the pattern because of you. Can you please tell me what size did you cut, if you don’t mind? Thank you!
Hi Kristin. I hope you enjoy the dress. I always post the details on my size in the description box of the video and in my blog post. I made a 14 with a C cup.
Hello Karina, while this video is a couple years old, I love it and your direction. I do have a question, I just ordered the pattern from Itch To Stitch, and a beautiful viscose fabric. Would you recommend using viscose or does it have too much drape?
I used it and it was fiddly. I’d interface the Center front & the facing with rayon.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you so much for your quick reply. I also have a beautiful off white Linen, I’ll use it instead.
Wow, i love this dress. You look great. Do you think i would be able to lengthen the sleeve?
You can use a sleeve you know fits the length of your arm as a reference and that you like the width of the cuff. I would do it like it says here
www.mybluprint.com/article/how-to-make-sleeves-longer
I love this dress! I am seriously tempted to get the pattern. I wonder if you could do the liner in the burrito method? Did you have a problem getting it on without the zipper?
In the testing group, only one person needed the zipper, the ease at the bust and waist is enough to pull it on easily. The liner and burrito? I don’t think it’s doable due to the V neckline and that the facing only covers the front partially.
cute
Thank you :)
love your 2 tiers hack! Looks lovely. I am interested in this pattern. How many A0 sheets does it require, Karina?
I just looked and it’s 5 pages. It includes all the cup sizes, so not all of them need to be printed. The document has a little chart saying what pages need to be printed for each cup sizes, so you’ll need to print only 3 pages.
💖
Looking at the line drawings, I thought it would be an easy make but actually it is quite involved because of the facing and the V neck.😬 It is a great looking pattern but I think a bit fiddly for me. I could see myself making a real mess of that neckline and facing unfortunately.
The neckline can easily be simplified:
*serging the bodice seam with the gathered detail.
*making the front facing smaller, like a regular facing.
*eliminating the center front seam of the bodice and cutting it in the fold
I plan to make a simplified version soon:)
Karina would this be appropriate for a pear shape body?
Of course. There are instructions in the pattern on how to blend the side seam to the hip size needed. The ease is not a lot, just enough to flow nicely and not create extra bulk.
I’m convinced. I want the pattern. May I ask, how tall are you? I am very short waisted, so back princess seams worry me.
I’m 5ft 8” but short waisted and tend to have a waist height of a shorter person. This is why I made a quick muslin of the bodice to check the fit 😊
I like both dresses. My favourite print is the first one. How difficult would it be to add sleeves to a sleeveless pattern? I wanting to do this to Kwik Sew K2836.
Adding sleeves is not straightforward, the sleeveless armhole has a shorter armscye and a different depth, no ease there. A sleeve on that shape would restrict movement. A short partial cap sleeve cut on the bias would work.
I love this pattern! On your hacked dress it looks like you left out the pockets? The print makes it hard to see
Yup, no pockets. Rayon is too flimsy for the pockets and I had limited amount of this print :)
I'm defenitely going to buy this pattern. This time I'll remember to put in your affiliate link, I forgot to last time
You are so cute..
Thankies :)
