I keep seeing comments about how easy this is... I wonder what level of "beginner" I really am (is there an "infant" level?)... this looks like a lot of steps for a beginner sewer.. Regardless, this is still super aspirational for an "infant" sewer like me!

[@Sonrisaanimada]

Maybe, it is easy for everyone experienced in partern making and sewing? 🤷‍♀️

[@JessDangDIY]

If you have a sewing machine and get use to using it with basic projects before. You can try this one. It's easy and beginner friendly as it doesn't require too much technique in term of making the pattern like a tailor. But the result is still very cute and wearable.

[@faveychi]

Same here I really wonder what level of beginner I am😂😂

[@bournonville13]

Me too, its so cute, so i hope i Can make it 😅😅

[@laura1391]

It is actually really simple with the technical skills that you need 🫶🏻 but don’t worry I have failed making this dress because i have never worked without a paper pattern🥹🥲

[@CreatingIntentionally]

This is such a cute cozy dress. And it'll hide so much🤭 Also I love how Jess puts propper pockets in all her pieces. We love outfits with big functional pockets. Thank you so much for sharing. P.S I love how she actually wears her previous makes in her videos.

[@alanax_]

I absolutely love this dress! The v-neck I haven't seen on this style very often, so that's a big plus!

[@JessDangDIY]

Thanks a lot!

[@marieclairevictoria2180]

Oh, I like.... I feel like this is just the motivation I need to go back to sewing. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@JessDangDIY]

You're so welcome

[@karlasaint9405]

I loved jess dang the way you make the base body for the dress and it's very simplified, especially for beginners who learn easily. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.😍💕💕👏👏

[@autumnpinkney2004]

I am a literal beginner on the sewing machine and want to make pieces for myself to build the wardrobe I want! Your videos are AMAZING! I am currently doing this project as my second ever sewing project and it is coming out SO perfect! Thank you for having such easy to follow tutorials and making cute clothes. I am also so grateful you teach how to make your own pattern so that I can hopefully be capable of making my own patterns and pieces in the future. I appreciate you, and you are making this sewing journey so fun and easy.

[@kthebestgirl]

Is this correct? It seems too easy!! Jess, thank you for your hard work. Every week I look forward to seeing what other project you have tackled and what more I can learn from you. Even if I don't make all the clothes you show us, there is so much I've learned. You really do make things in a simple way, and the result is always cute. Thank you!!!

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you so so much! And it's truly just like that. So hope you could try it out soon

[@hebanasr222]

@@JessDangDIY I tried to make it but it's very tight in the waste area. I think it's better to depend on the waste width instead of the shoulders width in the upper top width. But thank you very much for the beautiful patterns and the big offer 🌸 best channel in KZbin 🌸

[@rebeccawilliams071]

Perfect timing! I have been looking for a baby doll dress pattern all week!

[@JessDangDIY]

I'm so glad!

I just wanted to thank you for your tutorials, they are so cute, simple to follow and not overwhelmingly complicated 🙌❤️ I've made several dresses from this particular video and they all turned out so amazing 😍 it got me excited and more confident in my abilities, all thanks to you 🙏 this dress is easy to whip up in a day and the result is super comfy, cute and easy to wear and adjust size wise 😊 I'm making one for my sister right now, who is pregnant at the moment and needs something, that'll still fit comfortably in a few weeks 😊

[@JessDangDIY]

[@cemiletor861]

Harika bir model. Sen anlatınca ne kadar kolay. Çok teşekkür ederim. Bu modeli kızıma yapacağım.🤗🥰

[@liagoarin1746]

I discover this channel by accident (and this video) because i click on it by mistake. I find the dress cute and because I'll start in September to sew with a machine I give a chance to the video. Well I'm impressed! It's seems pretty easy (except when she make the thing at the end of the sleeves I don't know the name it's seems difficult). I need a dress for a wedding in June 2023 I think I'll made this dress it's so cute and my mother in law we'll be really happy to see that she boost my motivation for sewing my own clothes and that she help me with my passion more than anyone ! (She deserves the world !!!)

[@LikeitMakeitDIY]

Cute and simple ! I love it! Thank you Jess! 💙💙

[@JessDangDIY]

It's my pleasure

[@soapyfir7967]

Just finished making my own baby doll dress, I love it! Easy to follow instructions although I found attaching the cuffs the right way round to the sleeves a bit tricky but got there eventually with a few attempts! Made it using a polycotton this time and I'm thinking of making another one in linen :D

[@JessDangDIY]

Wonderful!

[@alexl3041]

I love this! I made this is a fine wale corduroy and added extra length to make it nice and cozy for fall and winter!

[@JessDangDIY]

[@Banananananna]

Im a beginner sewer and i thought that this tutorial would be difficult but if you take it one step at a time its really not too hard!! I love how my dress turned but i would recommend using a thin fabric so that the skirt part is not too puffy. Either way I ❤ my dress!! Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! ☺️

[@JessDangDIY]

Glad you made it!

[@ggurung494]

You make everything look so easy 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@JessDangDIY]

So happy you made it soon.

[@Julie-qh4go]

Thank you so much for your incredible tutorials! I started sewing this dress and am very excited for the result! I was wondering if you had some tips/ explanation on how to sew the "V tip" of the neckline ? I have been struggling to make it look good as I am unsure on ho to proceed where the seams overlap.. Thank you!!

Hi I’m have the same problem, the v neck is not easy. Hope Jess Dang will help .
