DIY: How to make a dress without a pattern. Sewing a dress with dolman sleeves.

I show you a lot of different techniques and designs.
Today we are going to make a dress with one-piece sleeves. The dress will be made of jersey fabric.
Natalie will help me today. First we will show you how to take measurements. After that we’ll show you the sketch once again.
The 1st measurement is the bust. Me bust measurement is 118cm, so I write down that ½ bust is
There will be seams both on the center back and the center front. The bottom will be overcast.
The neckline will be edged with the bias binding.
Bust, waist, hips, back width, back length, item length, sleeve length, sleeve circumference - these are the only measurements we need.
I’m not going to make a pattern of tracing paper. I’ll be drawing right on fabric.
The length of my item is 105cm. You can make it as long as you want.
I’ll show you how to draw a dress on fabric, how to mark the measurements and how to draw sleeves.
I will also show you what is different in the back and the front.
I want to make a dress with ¾ sleeves. You can make a dress with long sleeves.
What should you do if you have a tight waist? Draw a side seam the way I did, and then make a waist tuck.
If you draw a round side seam, you won’t be able to make a dress fit you.
The only things we need to change in the front are the neckline and the shoulder.
Learn to sew using this technique. It’s very convenient.
The technique doesn’t depend on a body. It’s the same for all bodies.
My body is perfectly square, and so is my pattern.
You can see that the piece of fabric I’m using is bigger than needed to make a dress. Remember that we will need to cut a bias binding.
You can make a neckline as deep as you want.
Everything is so simple. I think that it will take you about 10-15 minutes to make such dress.
Do not forget to make notches on the waistline.
I decided to make this seam just because I like seams on the center front. You don’t necessarily have to make it.
Now you know how to make such an amazing dress fast and easy.
You can make it wider or more close fitting.
This is a very comfortable casual dress. I can wear it to work. Such dresses are very convenient.
Be different and beautiful.

Just watched the circle skirt version and had to come see how to make the template. Thanks for such a straight forward tutorial, I am definately going to attempt this pattern making myself, and it will be my first ever attempt. Love your videos, thanks for the uploads into english. Your channel will definitely grow as there arent that many engaged in actual teaching and for me as a home sewer, this is what I am after, learning new skills so I can grow as a dressmaker for myself. Once again, huge thanks to you. 😘

[@radhasrikrishnan621]

You are an excellent teacher. Are you taking on line classes. I would like to learn how to make a basic body sloper

[@windyone555]

Wonderful! I really enjoy your videos! I have been sewing for years, and need to branch out into some custom designs rather than searching for exactly the pattern I want. Can you do a pintuck front shirt? This is my favorite style. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

[@purebluellc886]

Thanks 😊

[@mahlietderje2533]

l like it!! thanks so much

[@rosaelinarivera7618]

I love it’s 😻😻😻

[@Manotz]

We can only use jersey for such sleeves dress or any other fabric also?

[@bevmcmullen8758]

I love your videos, thank you. Quick question…I’ve always been taught that the back shoulder seam on a Dolman style should be higher than the front, but I see you raise your front shoulder seam. . The dress looked so lovely on you, perfect fit, so now I’m thinking maybe I’ve got it wrong all this time. Please could you comment on this. Thank you in advance xx

[@valariemcgee6316]

love your teaching. whereare you located anddo you have classes

[@margaretmonteiro8249]

I just watched the video for a dolman sleeve dress pattern ana want to make this simple dress with a geometric print jersey knit fabric. Can I cut the front of the dress on the fold so that the print is not broken? I can not wait to wear this dress. Thank you very much for your tutorial.

[@GlobalFashionWorkshop]

Hello. Yes, you can cut the front piece on the fold.

[@AEmamdee1757]

Thank you , if I want to put a zipper at the back do I have to put darts at the back to give the dress a shape ?

[@alexandrahenderson4368]

I need a double step fancy dress but I'm so bad at figuring out how to make em myself

[@MomShots]

So I have a question, when you raise the front shoulder 1, 2, or 3 cm what determines how many centimeters? I assume it is bust size. If I am a D cup, is 2cm enough or should I raise it 3cm? Thanks again for your kindness to share your knowledge with us.

[@moneakcanady3550]

Do I have to have a seam in front

[@pj89-96]

Moneak you can cut it on the fold and won't have the center seam. That's what I did. Hope this helps, I know it's a little late but I just found her channel and I'm really enjoying it.

[@thepaintedmirror]

Gorgeous as always! What type of fabric is this? Is this something like neoprene/scuba or pique? Such a lovely dress from such a simple design. It really flatters your figure. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@annanna8075]

Jersey

[@MariaKiki2]

Hi! Love your tutorials! And this one is very easy and versatile!. Can I adapt it to make it an A-line dress or not? Thank you!

[@margaretmonteiro8249]

How much ease do I add to my measurements ?

[@GlobalFashionWorkshop]

2 cm.

[@whatstrending3845]

this is the most hardest thing ever for something so simple way confusing

[@Manotz]

Hi lovely... I m making this pattern for my daughter. Can we use any other fabric like linen cotton or lawn???

[@noorjahanpkibrahimkutty1801]

Just came across this video and your question. Did you get a reply? Is it possible to make this dress from non-stretch fabric?

[@ggzoarab1258]

Rest in peace. A great loss.

[@janeteholmes]

What sort of fabric did you use?

[@annanna8075]

Janet Holmes, the fabric is jersey
