    Just a note to everyone. She shows the finished product both at the beginning and end, but it is easiest to just watch the video and then at the end go back to 0:08 secs to see it and pause it.
    Mimi, I just discovered your channel and love it. Thank you. That was very well explained! You did a great job, and that dress looks amazing on you! :)

    Miss Mimi, until I watched this tutorial, it never crossed my mind to be creative. I'm now researching beginner sewing classes out here in L.A.. I absolutely love your dress designs. And I wear only pants. Keep inspiring girl!

    you make creating clothing look simple and fun. I have never been interested in fashion due to it been hard to fine things that flatter my body size and due to cost. You have inspired an interest in making my own clothes. I'm going to sign up for a basic sewing class just got a sewing machine for Christmas!

    • @childoftheking7777
      @childoftheking7777 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am not Mimi but I sew enough and for a long time now to tell you that you can fashion your dress however you would like. I'm sure Mimi would say yes to that. I just read how someone said that she was going to add ruffles to the bottom of her dress. Great idea!

    I've been watching your DYI's and as a beginner I've been wanting to ask, when sewing cotton (t-shirt) material, what size needle are you using? Everytime I try this I get a big hole or my needle/fabric is not moving. It's just stitching in the same spot.

  • @lanafalana
    @lanafalana 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I finally have the two XL t-shsirts and either the ones I have are not a women's XL as marked or the shirt in the video is a different sizing; maybe junior size? Just guessing but Im glad I tried it on before doing the elastic casing part because it hits me below the calf like a midi dress. Maybe the sizing is according to brand. Not all t-shirts are created equal. I like it but I have to figure out how to make the top part more fitted as it is huge even on me at 5'3" (150).
    I went back to look at the two shirts I have both marked XL, BUT ONE IS DEFINITELY SIZED INCORRECTLY, MUCH SMALLER at the sleeves/top.
