Since she didn't really explain, she attached what looks like iron on interfacing to the "ribbon" fabric to make the final ribbon more stiff and give it the very flat ends to make it more cute. Otherwise the fabric might be too floppy.
Thankyou I noticed that. I presume its light/medium weight? Also I can't quite figure out how to change the sizing from hers to mine? Am I being totally dumb here as a novice sewer? ❤
@@donaunsworth5620you could try marking a rectangle for the bodice front. Measure from where you want the neckline to start (say your neck/top of your chest) to where you want it to end (say your waist) and that should be the height/width of the rectangle. Length can be half your bust measurement. Cut out the top corners like she did to account for your armpits, and then put the rectangle on your body to check the fit. You'll find places that need to be folded over/puckered/cut away for the bodice to fit your form properly, mark these as your darts. Two on the sides of your bust and two on the waist. You'll have to eyeball it and divide the total folded over measurement into two for both the waist area and the sides of the bust. That'll give you a preliminary pattern, you can add seam allowances and make it into a proper pattern piece. Then for the back you can make the width of the straps an inch or 1/2 an inch less than the width of your bodice front. Her length is probably good, but you could make it less or more. I'd recommend tying a bow with some fabric around your waist first to figure out how much you need. For the skirt I'd watch a circle skirt video, but you could probably get away with cutting out a waist measurement that's twice your waist measurement (or 3x, or as much or as little as you like, depending on how ruffly you want it to be), and extrapolating a circle from there, kind of. Like you mark out 1/2 the waist circumference, and then put your measuring tape on that line. Mark down to the length you want it to be, and then mark. Keep doing this by putting your measuring tape on a different point at the waist line and measuring down from there. Add seam allowance and cut it out. Cut out two pieces and ta-da, you have a skirt. For the ruffle you can use her measurements and also for the pockets. But you can change them around if you want. Longer ruffles means more gathers. Shorter ones means less gathers. Pockets can be made bigger or just gotten rid of entirely, if you'd rather not go through the hassle of sewing them. And there you have it. I hope this made some modicum of sense, and I'm sorry if this explanation wasn't very good.
@@donaunsworth5620 I made this dress as someone who is medium/large. I would recommend adding a few inches width-wise to the bodice. I made mine 20 inches long ratehr than 17 and made the incisions 5-6 inches instead of 4.5. I kept all of the positions the same. If you need more space around your sides, add a few inches to the ribbon part so you can still tie it around your back. I hope this helped!
So pretty! Great idea to use the sheets. I love thrifting pretty sheets. Would love to see some sweat shirt/pants sets, some 2 piece loungers sets, and dresses for winter.
My uncle is gonna gift me the blue brother sewing machine and i am totally making this! We have 2 fitted dark blue bedsheets here we dont use anymore and i am willing to use them to make this thank you so much for jnspiring me to do this i have improved alot on sewing because of you. Thank you so much for making content that motivates and inspires people like me :))
I've been stuck in my college dorm room in Shanghai for a month and a half now cause of covid and am currently sewing this dress by hand out of my bedsheets 😅 So far so good! The bodice is almost done :)))
I love the finished dress so much, I'm going to try and make it for my sister who is going to have a baby next summer as this will fit over her bump without restricting while still looking super cute 😍❤️ thanks for sharing it with us 💜🙏
@@nekoneko644 it turned out lovely and came in handy now that it's getting very warm here and she has gotten reaaally pregnant by now (she's due in the middle of June) 😊 I widened the front of the skirt a bit to have some more room for gathering just to be safe and didn't add the ruffle for a more minimalistic look and less tripping hazard 😂 and she loves it. Will also be great for nursing in the future as it gives quick and easy access 😊😂 hope your sister will be as happy with it as mine is, sending you happy vibes 🙏✌️😊
Using sheets for fabric is both economical and, and easy to find. The first thing to watch out for is what the sheets are made of because some can wrinkle very easily.
I saw this video in Mia Maples's new video this week! She's one of my favorite content creators and I thought it was so cool to see your channel mentioned - here is a link to the video where she mentions you in case you haven't seen it yet: th-cam.com/video/eLxAtge6BxA/w-d-xo.html Congrats! 😊✨
OMG seriously, like, when I imagine what Studio Ghibli characters would look like IRL, you are EXACTLY what I always pictured Sophie Hatter would look like. That's so crazy!
Great idea!!! The dress is soooo pretty 😍 ! But I still can’t wrap my head around how to make the bust. Like.. how can I make the measurements fit my body?
I do the exact same thing with ruffles: divide them into four sections, pin to four equal points on bodice or dress before going ahead to gather in order to ensure even fullness all round. Wow!
I made a modified version of this. I don't have elastic so, I added an 1/3 extra to the skirt. Then attached the top (which I extended width wise by 2-3 inches) in the middle. After I sewed the waist ribbon along the length of the skirt. That way its a wrap around. And instead of attached the shoulder straps to the front and back, I increased their length and attached only to the front. So its dual tying
omg it looks so good on you! I made a very similar piece to this hat was actually inspired by your previous pink dress that also had ties in the back! And it's such a flattering piece it will look great on anyone that decides to make it! much love 💕
I made this dress (self-draft) without the bottom ruffle. Super cute but man i cannot tie a bow behind my back to save my life LOL. I struggled a bit with sizing the skirt, I ended up sizing a typical 3/4 circle skirt to my waist measurement and added 6in to the waist measurement before calculating the radius. This turned out to be less fluffy and very few ruffles, so if you want a fuller ruffle look, definitely increase the waist measurement more than I did (I've seen 25-50%) I also have a longer torso and wanted more coverage, so I kept the back ribbons at 10in wide.
Oh right, I also skipped the bottom darts since my bust and waist measurements aren't too different. And I made the side darts 2in wide, 4.5in deep to align eitb my bust measurement and increased the height accordingly. Width of the bodice I increased only a few inches, since the ribbon is tied in the back the bodice sizing is pretty flexible
forgot to ask what i should do if i dont have the surging machine? also how how do you surge the edges of the dress cuz that confused me a bit. love this dress and REALLY want to make it myself😍
Hey can you include Paypal to your payment methods? Because im a student from Germany and have no kredit card... idk how it is in other countries but i think the minority in germany have a kredit card :(
I watched Mia Maples videos, and I'm sew too, I hope to watch more as I made my cousin prom dress, and I didn't think it was hard but you make sew look easy! I don't why but I might start sewing again, thank you!
I’m a beginner and I’ve been trying to find good tutorials because most of the ones I watch are too fast for me but I absolutely LOVE your tutorials and they are so easy to follow. Thank you so much this was really helpful!!!
This is SO Gorgeous and looks SO easy to make!! Heading to the thrift store Now . . . . I'll let ya'll know how this goes!!! XD (You just got yourself a loyal subscriber!!)
This gives me kinda ‘’casual fairy vibes’’ Like I imagine a fairy or an elf would wear this while taking a stroll through an enchanted forest! Anyways love the video and the dress turned out super pretty! 🥰 Edit: Omg I just realized I was probably thinking of a fairy because the blonde hair and green dress reminds me of Tinker Bell 😂✨
I'm a bit confused with the measurements, since not everyone is the same size. Like how do I get from my waist measurement to the piece sizes? Because Im pretty sure if I would use your measurementts, neither my waist nor my bust would fit?
I’m binge watching all of your videos bc they are so interesting (new subscriber) i have never sewed anything in my life. I’m recently trying to learn how to crochet but my schedule never allows enough time to learn hobbies that I want to pick up. Maybe one day I’ll it a try. But nonetheless your creations are so beautiful!!! Cant wait until your future updates 🤩
The dresses you make are my style, what's weird is we also have the same sizes. I'd be happy to make this but I haven't got my sewing machine so I gotta be patient
You got me pockets and sheets. I have a stack of bedding ive been gifted for toiles as a beginner sewer without patterns. What weight of interfacing is it in the bow please? ❤

Been subscribed for a while, but I'm back after watching Mia Maples make this dress for her bridesmaids 🥰
SAME
Exactly the same
Yesssss same
SAME, im thinking about making my own graduation dress!
Exactly the same lol

Thank you!
When you tie it multpile times and wash it does it stay creased or easily ironed out?
Thankyou I noticed that. I presume its light/medium weight? Also I can't quite figure out how to change the sizing from hers to mine? Am I being totally dumb here as a novice sewer? ❤

I bet this will look so cute with a turtleneck underneath for winter! We love a good layered piece:)
Love the dress. Something about olive green ruffles makes me happy 😊
ok. this is officially my favorite dress ever
I made this recently!! I'm a beginner when it comes to using a sewing machine so I appreciate the easy tutorial!!
Just watched Mia Maples video yesterday and this popped up on my recommended! How cool!
I've been stuck in my college dorm room in Shanghai for a month and a half now cause of covid and am currently sewing this dress by hand out of my bedsheets 😅 So far so good! The bodice is almost done :)))
Omg!! Did you finish it? I hope you’re doing ok! :)
BY HAND?! woah, goodluck!
I know this is 2 years later but this is iconic and if you see this, how did it turn out?? ❤😂
I love the finished dress so much, I'm going to try and make it for my sister who is going to have a baby next summer as this will fit over her bump without restricting while still looking super cute 😍❤️ thanks for sharing it with us 💜🙏
I am doing the same thing for my expecting sister! How did yours turn out? I made one for myself that I love, hoping the one I make her fits well!

You make this look so easy! Thanks for coming back to this project. 💕💕
Your cherry sweater is so cute!
Love the dress!! I'm pretty much a beginner and can't wait to find a nice fabric and try this put 💖
Hii ! I also want to try the dress and your videos inspires me a lot since from 11 Nov . I started basics of sewing 😅.
Lots of love from India 😍❤️

So cute! I love the fabric color!!
Really love the big bow
Love this 😍 I would maybe make it with a smaller bow in the back but that would be a big change in the pattern 👀
Absolutely beautiful. Love the tie on back.
You should make a matching bag, hat, etc. for this dress from the leftover sheet!
I love the bag designs from Don Kim! All are reversible.
Or headband, bracelet, flowers, etc!
You go me at ' it has pockets'!!!!!
Beautiful good job ally you have such a creative Mind!
OMG seriously, like, when I imagine what Studio Ghibli characters would look like IRL, you are EXACTLY what I always pictured Sophie Hatter would look like. That's so crazy!
Oh my gosh this is literally the best compliment I have ever received 🥺😭🤧💛✨
Great idea!!! The dress is soooo pretty 😍 ! But I still can’t wrap my head around how to make the bust. Like.. how can I make the measurements fit my body?
i love this dress I have no where to go with it but i am still making it
I did not expect it to look so good. Going to copy you😁
I live in a city where it is Autumn Weather all year round (33 to 70 F everyday) and I can´t wait for you to upload cold weather stuff

Mia sent me 👀
i came from Mia Maples bridesmaid dresses i’m absolutely in love with how they turned out and I’m so excited to try your patterns!! 🤍🤍🤍
It's absolutely beautiful and the sheet material looks soft and comfy. ❤❤❤❤, suitable for the holidays.
eventho i've watched this multiple time already, but watching it again because of Mia Maples 🥰
Did you see @Mia Maple's video? She made this dress
I just watched it!!😄
Hey can you include Paypal to your payment methods? Because im a student from Germany and have no kredit card... idk how it is in other countries but i think the minority in germany have a kredit card :(
You did such a great job! It looks beautiful. Now how do i make this in a bigger size?lol
I watched Mia Maples videos, and I'm sew too, I hope to watch more as I made my cousin prom dress, and I didn't think it was hard but you make sew look easy! I don't why but I might start sewing again, thank you!
Hello, I bought this pattern, but is there a full version of it so I can get it printed in one big pattern instead of pages by pages? Thank you!
I’m a beginner and I’ve been trying to find good tutorials because most of the ones I watch are too fast for me but I absolutely LOVE your tutorials and they are so easy to follow. Thank you so much this was really helpful!!!
This is so cute! 😁
beginner here, do you need the pattern to be able to sew it??
The official Mia Maples bridesmaid dress 💕
Can you explain why you cut off a part from de top at 3.45?
I love this beautiful dress and would like to sew it up! Can I also use a cotton fabric? Or which fabric should I use?
ฉันชอบชุดนี้มากค่ะ
I’m confused on where she serged after adding the elastic
omg yes
This is SO Gorgeous and looks SO easy to make!! Heading to the thrift store Now . . . . I'll let ya'll know how this goes!!! XD
(You just got yourself a loyal subscriber!!)
This color looks great on you! This dress would look lovely with a cream turtleneck or sweater underneath
This ribbon back could totally be crossed in the back and tied in the front too, with a little length added! I love this as an alternative to buttons
I made mine with crossed straps in the back and I love how it turned out.
Lovely dress...you are so talent...👏👏👏👏
"Mom, I'm going to get a sheet and pillowcases to make a nice outfit here"
This gives me kinda ‘’casual fairy vibes’’
Like I imagine a fairy or an elf would wear this while taking a stroll through an enchanted forest!
Anyways love the video and the dress turned out super pretty! 🥰
Edit: Omg I just realized I was probably thinking of a fairy because the blonde hair and green dress reminds me of Tinker Bell 😂✨
how did you learn to make your own patterns??
Beautiful dress. Love your hair - suits you.
I need a patron of this 👗 please
She sell it on her website 🩷
I'm a bit confused with the measurements, since not everyone is the same size. Like how do I get from my waist measurement to the piece sizes? Because Im pretty sure if I would use your measurementts, neither my waist nor my bust would fit?
Can you please tell me
Where did you learn to sew?
I’m binge watching all of your videos bc they are so interesting (new subscriber) i have never sewed anything in my life. I’m recently trying to learn how to crochet but my schedule never allows enough time to learn hobbies that I want to pick up. Maybe one day I’ll it a try.

I’m here for Mia Maples
I love it! I might actually try to make it my self, I do live in the Southern Hemisphere so it would be perfect for now
Is the pattern meant to be 83 pages. It's printing out now. Feeling overwhelmed!!
I love the cherry cardigan you're wearing! May I ask where you got it?
When she sewed the darts did she sew the darts on both sides of the bodice or just one side?
both sides!
The dresses you make are my style, what's weird is we also have the same sizes. I'd be happy to make this but I haven't got my sewing machine so I gotta be patient
You got me pockets and sheets. I have a stack of bedding ive been gifted for toiles as a beginner sewer without patterns. What weight of interfacing is it in the bow please? ❤
Absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorites, but then most of your dresses are my favorites. Too hard to choose.
What type of fabric did you use?
