This dress looks all kinds of fabulous!! I'm looking forward to seeing how you sewed that zip, after making a mess of trying a zip like that myself. Also, that's exactly how I trace with the Morplan paper. Lynne
I love this tutorial! I just ordered the pattern. I'm curious what type of fabric you used for this. It doesn't look like normal broadcloth/quilters cotton.
Thank you, that was a brilliant and very useful video. I certainly wouldn’t have thought about using the facing pattern for interfacing. Just one thing; didn’t folding back the front seam allowance reduce the curve down at the centre? I am very much looking forward to the rest of these tutorials. Cathy.
Hello! Just found your channel and am enjoying the video.😊 I used to make my own clothes but haven't had a sewing machine for years. 2 weeks ago I was given a sewing machine and this is the pattern I bought to do first. I am in the UK (Scottish Highlands ) and am a 16 uk size. Do you think this style would suit a larger size?. Keep well and stay safe everyone. 💟 sandym 💖
Hi could you help me please I wanted to use commercial patterns to make clothes as a business for people How can I do it, as people have different shape. And I don’t have their exact measurements. Like the shop Zara they are making in mass size 8,10,12,14 ect... how do they manage to make the exact shape for a size 12 for example do you have an idea. How does it work?? I don’t know if my question makes sense. 🙏🏻
I did just trace the size that works for me. I just blend between the size lines that work for me. I am going to do a dedicated video on tracing patterns 😊
I have a question....when I needed to copy a multi-size pattern, I went to a local art supply store and bought artists graphite paper. It is like the old fashion typewriter carbon paper. I have used the first paper out of the roll now for 8 patterns. Might that be helpful with your tracing issues?
I have some carbon paper which is designed to be used with Burda patterns so it's huge, I really ought to dig that out (I do use it to mark darts etc on fabric sometimes) it's definite;y a great way of tracing 😊 I think we each try things until we find something that works for us, there are no one "right" way of doing something 😊
The envelope numbers and measurements mean very little. Check the finished garment measurements on the pattern tissue and use those to pick your size (I'm a size 4/6 in Gertie's patterns if that helps)
It did reduce it a bit which you'll see when Part 2 goes up but not so dramatically that I didn't like and not enough to make me want that front seam in there. Hopefully you'll see what I mean in Part 2
I love this pattern on you. You have a Sophia Loren type figure. Thank you for sharing.
Showing how you made all your alterations to the pattern was very helpful! Thanks!
I’m sure you already know this... in addition to being beautiful, funny and talented... you are amazingly smart!
This is great instruction! Thank you.
Ooh the dress looks stunning, suits you beautifully.

What is the fabric you are using? The textile place is closed so i cant dollow your link.
It was a stretch suiting :)
Great job! I'm going to need more coffee to have any chance of understanding all your alterations, but they are brilliant (as are you!).
Thank you for the instructions. I use thin interfacing to cut out my patterns.
That dress is awesome and you're so pretty!!

Looks great
Thank you. 💖
Thank you for being so patient 😉😊
The dress looks great on you, but I would not be comfortable with the sleeves quite that tight. How would you alter the sleeve across the bicep?
Hi there, where did you get the tracing paper to copy your pattern onto?
Morplan. Link in the description 😊

Hi and welcome! This is a beautiful dress that will suit all sizes (in my opinion) if it helps I'm a UK size 14 in ready to wear 😊

how did you trace the pattern off? Do you just trace the pattern that you need for your measurements, and how to you grade from one size to another?
I did just trace the size that works for me. I just blend between the size lines that work for me. I am going to do a dedicated video on tracing patterns 😊
@@KittenishBehaviourSian that will be fantastic thank you. I'll give the grading a go. Xxx

Is the size very small? I’ve been sewing Girtie Hirch patterns and there I’m a size 10 while here it looks like I’m a size 20 around the waist! 😳

@@KittenishBehaviourSian thank you so much!
How much fabric did you use to Make the dress? I’m buying fabric to make it and I’m not sure how many meters to get 😂
I think I had about 4 metres of the fabric which was perfect :)
No, of course it didn’t reduce the neckline curve - because you only folded back the seam allowance..... Duh! With apologies. Cathy.
It did reduce it a bit which you'll see when Part 2 goes up but not so dramatically that I didn't like and not enough to make me want that front seam in there. Hopefully you'll see what I mean in Part 2
