Wouldn't it make sense to show what the dress looks like at the BEGINNING of the video and again while wearing it at the end so viewers can decide if it's something they want to make?
Arline Kay i know right?!
I agree! Definitely at the beginning as well.
For the people who do not follow her online, she should post a pic

I don't follow her online, either. You pretty much have to treat You Tube as a separate entity, as many people come across videos here due to searches, not following someone. Sorry - just imho
you really are a natural teacher! especially for people like me whose patience (&attention span?) is very low. thank you.
Would have love to see the dress on once you completed it so that I have some idea how it looks once completed.

She couldn't have shown a finished product. Because if you guys were paying attention, she said 19.5 inches length for the bodice and 47 inches length for the skirt. All totaled for the two piece together would be 66.5 inches for the dress. The average maxi dress is 50 inches from shoulder to hemline or with up to 4 inches more added for taller females or to accommodate heels. Definitely no more than that! The female would have to be an Amazon Woman to have a dress 66.5 inches in length. The first lesson of sewing 'MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE'.
deechabee I was wondering same. Why would Belly button to heel be 47??
Anyways, it's an excellent tutorial. Everyone is expected to use their individual measurements and not the one in the video.
deechabee What's wrong in it... 19.5 - 1 inches or 1.5 sewing allowance now its 18 r 17.5 n 2 r 2.5 inches from the 47 of skirt, left length is 45 r 44.5 so the total length will be 62 r 63... mine is the same wid 4 inchs heels n may be U noticed her maxy isn't just floor length its laying on floor.
belly button to floor,? maybe she didn't put her heels on
I love this tutorial. I've watched A LOT of sewing videos and this is one of the BEST. This was very easy to follow. Thank you. You are an Awesome teacher.
Mimi, that dress is so cute! Looks so simple to make. Would have loved to see it on you when you were finished! Thanks for the very well explained video and for showing us step by step!
this is my favorite dress to make and best sew along video ever. it was free and most important a modest and classy look for my style.
Perfect tutorial, but missing a final look with the finished product! How does it look? :) Good instructions though.

This link works .......
I just want to say you are such a brilliant seamstress! I absolutely adore your teaching. You make it very simple and straightforward. I watched a video on how to pattern and make a skater dress and the girl made the top part a little complicated. I wish i would have watched this video first. The part of cutting the slits for the armhole and chest dip (for lack of better words LOL) are genius!! I am part of two amazing sewing groups on Facebook and am going to share your tutorial to them. Thank you again for a spot on, professional tutorial.
Thanks for trying your beautiful dress on. Your design's should be in high end fashion stores. You're very gifted.
That pattern is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!! I have the same kind of fabric and I wanted it to be a maxi dress. Although I only have 2 yards, so I guess I'll only make 2 sides without panels.
This was very helpful! Thanks!!
best thing is that you discussed the fabric...thanks a lot for this tutorial.same request as many others, please let us see the finished product.
I got my Michael Levine fAbric today thanks to you Never knew about them. Excited to start this dress. Thank you for the best videos on this site. You're so thorough especially for an old beginning like me..Michele...
Since I am guessing that you already made the dress - do you know if she is measuring shoulder to belly button vertically across the chest or straight down length? Looks like she is using her hands to indicate diagonal. Shoulder to Belly Button. Thanks! Already posted above so I better not post again - and will look for answer from someone else who may have asked.
Sandra Nutt shoulder to belly button vertically (straight down)
Thanks!
LOVE THIS!! i can never find dresses LONG enough for me, i hate when they stop and my shins i can definitely see myself doing then... when i get a better sewing maching
Love the dress very much.. Simple easy and well explained. Thanks sister. Helps me to create my bodices much easier. Remain blessed.
Excellent tutorial I followed the instructions step by step and my dress came out very nice. Only I made it a short version not a maxi. Thankyou!!
I to wondered what the final dress looked like, but with a little searching I found it. Could this be made in more of an empire style? Love your instructional style. You don’t leave anything out and are so clear.
Like so many, I would have loved more of a complete presentation. I tried to find some good pics of the dress completed but could not. I'd like to see that before I decide if I want to make it.
***** By the way, I just found the pic of the dress. But I had to go on a hunt for it. ML... it would really help if it was all in the same video.
Hi. Great tutorial. Was wondering why the skirts were not cut on fold ?
I so love your video and love that super sewing machine you have. I love to see you work again. your great at what you do Thanks for putting your time to teach others your talent many Blessings for you....
But what does the finished garment look like? Good delivery though! Thanks.
I wish I could see the finished dress....thank you for your super easy tutorial..
You r an amazing teacher and i am going to try to make a maxi dress. Thanks so much for your tutorial.
Well one thing I didn't like was that we do not get to see the finished product. :(

Great tutorial, and fantastic looking dress! Thanks for posting the link to the pictures of the finished product. It is even nicer than I could have imagined :D
Loved the way you explaining dear. God bless you 😇
Interested with you video it's very clear teaching I really like to watch more about pensil dress ,,this I really make right now and look really good I'm so happy thank a lot for working hard to give other learning
can I cut on the fold so I only have side seems great easy to follow vid xx
I do love this. Thanks for the detailed explanations and reasons for every decision.
I will get it done in a royal blue chiffon.
:)
This is such an amazing tutorial, and you really hit on some of simple but powerful construction. Not only am I going to make a maxi dress, but I'm going to make a series of blouses for work using these measurements. Are there any other resources that you can point me to for simple measurements/markings to make simple and clean garments? THANK YOU!
Wonderful very clear instructions and easy to follow🌷🌷🌷thank you - new subscriber from New Zealand 🇳🇿
so much love for this tutorial. This is the only one that I could find with such explicit institutions. Dhanyawaad!!(Thank you in Hindi!!)
I am going to make this!! Thank you so much for posting this! I made the swim suit and it looks AMAZING!! You ROCK!!!!
It would be great to see the dress on styled at the end so we can see the project finished.
Love this dress but a little bit complicated for as a beginner. Can you do something for the beginners please and how to do the measures. Thanks 😊👍
Thanks for sharing us your beautiful talent the God give you.
It's actually not complicated at all. I was able to follow along pretty easily and I did this after only about a month of learning to sew. Take your time and rewatch the parts the seem a bit confusing; I promise you'll find it way easier than you expected. Also, she does give instructions on how to do your measurements at the beginning, somewhere between the 1-3 minute portion of the video. You'll need to pause the video and write the instructions down. Good luck and I hope you do try it!
Ok didn't get the finale...where the dress? Beautiful work but didn't see the final prduct

You are gorgeous, Mimi 😍
Love your designs. I have one of you Summer patten that's a dress but I want it to be a short pant jumpsuit. Help
That's what I was thinking .... But when you take the hip measurement then add was it 4inches?? The extra that you add on would include seam allowance for sewing all 4 pieces of the skirt together... So if you only have two then you only have two seams.... So wouldn't the add on inches be reduced??
Hi Madam , I have a question for you please, I want to sew over embellished fabric and I was afraid to break my needle or damage my machine as I have a beginner sewing machine, thank you very much.
Hi! I love this tutorial by the way! Wondering if there would be any different steps to the shoulder gather if I add sleeves. Is it safe to add them after the gather is made?
Thank you for these instruction, I really appreciate them
I like your tutorials a lot.
Can you tell me the brand of your sewing machine please?
Superb!!! I need 50 of these!
Ive seen your patterns in Joann fab lately... Id like to get one, preferably one that you have tut on, like a sew along.Can you tell me if and which patterns you have tutorials?
Thank you for the tutorial. Can't wait to try this. Thanks!
i mimi can i know what kind type u use for ur machine for sew?janome or singer or what kind brand n type...thxs GBU
What's the pattern? what does it look like? I'm disappointed I have no idea what the final dress looks like!
Tried making this dress but converting inches to cm was a nightmare and my dress ended up huge in size. Any suggestions?
Hi I'm deciding on getting a sewing machine witch one do you think is better the
SINGER 4411 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine with Metal Frame and Stainless Steel Bedpl
or the
Brother XL2600 Sewing Machine
or the ( last one)
Brother 37-Stitch Special Edition Butterfly Blossom Sewing Machine, Model BB370 I really need your help really bad
This way Great! I sure learned allot from this video. Loved it.
Can you do a 3 ruffled, sleeveless, long floral wrap around maxi dress. because I can't find one online anywhere . One like JLo at Arods party shown on Instagram and interested in making one for myself.
Hi Mimi G, I love this dress and I am making in it all kind of which ways lol. Could you please Please teach me how to make a killer cotton mermaid skirt which just hugs the curves all the right ways? I hope you can because Jersey does not like me. If you have a pattern I can buy then even better. Blessings.
Thanks girl for ur help, fantastic job but what sewing machine are you using?
In your video you should put the dress on the manequin to show the result.

Olga Ling thanx, (y) :) ..but it would be better in the video. I also went on the website, searched myself silly, befor coming back here to search the comments
Exacto ! No muesra como se ve !,
Only thing is that I was hoping she would have put on the dress in the end...
Hi Mimi, would you please make and demo a maxi without waist - like a kaftan. That would be lovely. Thanks.
Good morning, can you do a video on how to sew a maxi dress and or skirt with pockets. Please... I love pockets and I am just starting out with sewing. Truthfully I am terrified. Thank you .. Tigga
I see you on that Sapphire 930! Ok, girl! ;)
What points do you measure for the neckline? You said your measurement was 8 inches. Was it from the top of the shoulder to the point where you want your neckline to stop?
Great tutorial! If I want to make this more of an empire waist so it is more of a maternity style dress do you think I would have to change much? It seems like I could maybe just shorten the rectangles used for the bodice and lengthen the skirt to make up the difference. And maybe make it in a knit for some stretch? Your input would be greatly appreciated!
Not 100% sure as I am only still learning, buy maybe instead of measuring from the bellybutton down, you can measure from the underbust down, and from the shoulder to the underbust instead of from shoulder to bellybutton. And add a elastic at the underbust (or a little below the underbust). But as I said I'm not an expert!
hi mimi this was explained perfectly! thank u. what type of machine are u using? is your sewing machine also a surger?
amazing!
You are a gr8 teacher!
gonna try this!
Does yhe measurements do fo all types of patterns ?
this is not easy idk i need beginners video. But the dress looks great. I love your pinterest looks Mimi
I just finished this dress. how do I upload a foto? thank you. This is my first sewing project ever. No pattern, no sewing classes, just TH-cam and God, Jehova.
Love that you acknowledge God. God bless you. John 14:6
Why are people asking for the finished product when she is wearing at the beginning of the video? Come on people!
Give a time stamp maybe? I don’t see her wearing any dress
Oh wow!! Who are you and where did you come from lol that was an amazing tutorial. So where do I sign up for classes lol. Very good explanation very descriptive luv it!! 👍👍👌

Stephanie Miller thanks!! I've already viewd some of her other videos she's good 👍👍
you really need to put a link to the finished product in your videos. I couldn´t find any photos on the lowpricefabric page.. I had to come back here and search the comments.
Is the dress semi-sheer using this material? If so, what type of liner could be added?
WHAT KIND OF DRESS IS IT?IS IT SHORT SLEEVED?IS IT A JUMPER?IS IT A SHIFT?HOW WOULD I KNOW IF IT LOOKS RIGHT?
Great tutorial!! i could made a nice dress for me by watching this tutorial. Thanks for the video. :)
Hi, lovely tutorial, I want to know whats the model of your sewing machine. Thanks
I need your help jajajaj. ive cut out my size but I always get it wrong on tops. it is always to small on my breast area
I love sewing but haven't really got something I love out of it
what sewing machine are you using? and can you also suggest one or two other good alternatives. thanks
She couldn't have shown a finished product. Because if you guys were paying attention, she said 19.5 inches length for the bodice and 47 inches length for the skirt. All totaled for the two piece together would be 66.5 inches for the dress.

The female would have to be an Amazon Woman to have a dress 66.5 inches . The first lesson of sewing 'MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE'
What machine is that.. i would love to get one..wow..
Would this work if I wanted to do a gathered skirt bottom
Loved the tutorial but couldn't find the pics for the dress
I want to use a patterned fabric..... What would the measurements be if I wanted to make my skirt with only two pieces, a front and a back?
I would think instead of dividing by four, divide by two, since you will only have two pieces.
Please upload full video of the finished dress not incomplete...
please make vedio on how to made long loose dress please
Can this dress be made out of a stretch knit fabric?
I loved it! you are a gud instructor!!
Are you measuring shoulder to belly button vertical, straight down length or diagonal? Looks like you are using your hands to indicate diagonal. Shoulder to Belly Button. Thanks!
did you ever find the answer to this question?
Mam,What's the difference between A-line dress & Maxi dress ?
Priyanka Jain I'm taking it as an A-lined dress may have a tail or train-like feature. while a maxi just falls straight down.
where do you get a fabric marker like you have please?
Right before the video is in motion is a pic of her with the dress on, ppls
I enjoyed your tutorial but you didn't hold up the dress so that it can be seen. I was waiting for that..I hit the link but the dress wasn't there.
What did you make? You didn't show what you made ...
