[@farahateeq5178]

Thanks for making this video. I've used it to make a great fitting dress and modified it to make a top as well.

[@mrgarner4796]

Thank you, Jess, for this fantastic tutorial. This dress is exactly what I have been looking for... and to have it fit me... Amazing. Your choice of gingham fabric is perfect.

[@teper.ponyatno]

Сшила уже 2 платья по вашим мастер классам👍❤️ Спасибо большое, всё так хорошо и понятно объясняете 🤝🌷

[@AM-dm1pl]

Jess! I've missed your videos! This dress is so cute! Perfect for spring/summer. It's getting cold where I live. Would love to see more winter items. I have yet to find a DIY button up pj set. Or maybe shackets? Winter dresses? Quilt jacket? Leggings? Love all your work! Thanks so much for teaching us all your ways

[@JessDangDIY]

I'll try to make them soon

Hello, I'm Thai, I love watching your videos. It was an idea and taught me to cut clothes very well. Make clips often.

[@JessDangDIY]

Happy to hear that!

[@blair3936]

Thank you, Jess! 😃 That is a beautiful dress and I am going to make one soon. It is encouraging that you are self-taught in pattern drafting since I am also learning. Thanks for your tutorials!! 🎊 Congratulations on your marriage! 🎊

[@laurak2742]

Hi Jess, I would really love to make this dress. Could you make a short segment what measurements I have to take from my body to make this dress to fit me?

[@JessDangDIY]

You need to measure your body size which are bust, waist and hip size. Also need to measure the length from the shoulder to above the belly button which is the length of the bodice part. The length of the skirt part is the length from above the belly button to over the knee. The length of the sleeve is the length from the shoulder to above the elbow.

[@tabiba2b30]

I made the dress it looks beautiful thank you so much, only im stuck on the last bit where you add the long piece of fabric 😢 do i sew it pretty side to pretty side ? Do i fold it in? Im not sure how to finish my dress 😅

[@JessDangDIY]

Sorry I don't really get which part you got stuck

[@datwinsprojects]

Jess, your techniques are so amazing! Do you just use the overcast stitch for the seams?

[@JessDangDIY]

Yes, I used the zigzag stitching and the fake overlocking presser foot for it

[@Fcamila100]

Lol😂😂

[@evawijaya4141]

Omg my dreams make this dress❤🥰

[@LegumesEtFleurs]

I just love this dress. I wish I could understand the whole process of making a pattern. 😢

[@JessDangDIY]

I hope you can get it if you take it slow at each step.

[@bob3Rann]

beautiful dress! the pattern drafting process may as well be witchcraft though, I'm so lost haha, wondering if anyone with measurements similar to mine has successfully made this dress? I'm about a size up from jess, 32-28-35 (in) 81-71-89(cm)

[@mariadelourdeshernandezonc2896]

Hola jess gracias me encantó

[@milagroswillmott6236]

Hi Jess! A question. If I only make the top part, would it be enough for a shirt? Or will I have to change something else? Thank you very much for your tutorials!

[@JessDangDIY]

If you want to make the top part only and turn it into a shirt, you need to adjust the darts a bit. Because the shirt is longer to your hip. So the width at the end of the top must be bigger than your hip size there

[@milagroswillmott6236]

Thank you! ❤

[@feryalferyal4849]

So cute , thank you for the video . I want to try it with velvet fabric will it work ?

[@JessDangDIY]

You're so welcome. Yes, it works for most of the fabrics, preferred the thick or hard one.

[@aycankesan2668]

can i use viscose?

[@lucillewong1161]

So lovely❤

Jess i drafted the pattern twice and followed the instructions but i noticed my front bodice shoulder does not match with the back bodice. The fromt is significantly bigger. I looked at yours when you placed them together and yours are the same.

[@Fcamila100]

Please help 😢

[@Fcamila100]

Yayyy....I fixed the problem. And I have made my beautiful dress.

Can you tell me how many metres is needed?

[@JessDangDIY]

I used around 2.5m of fabric

[@hepa7034]

Why didn't show how to do button holes? It is the most difficult.

[@JessDangDIY]

I'll try to show it in the other video. Actually it's not to difficult as the sewing machine do that job for you

[@hepa7034]

@@JessDangDIY yes, but I struggle with measurements. What distance should I keep between the buttons?

[@Fcamila100]

This is really good question. I also struggle with this. Apparently there is a tool for this purpose. Maybe Jess can do a video on it

[@donnabetz6725]

I’m 😮😊

[@peggysue038]

[@kanikatalukdar6244]

Can you please explain what did you mean by “measure the total width of the sleeve Lines at the front and back bodice”? Does it mean I need to find the sum of the length of both lines?

[@JessDangDIY]

Yes. At the pattern of the front and the back bodice, check the sleeve lines there and combine them together. Make sure you don't count the seam allowance
