Your dress is stunning, and you look beautiful wearing it. Thank you for showing us and teaching us how to make it. You're a 💎.

[@mylifeasliz855]

Just starting to make my own clothes and I love your video! lovely dress!

[@fabulessme811]

Love the pattern that you use but in making this maxi dress I would use interfacing for the bust area we need some uplifting.

[@michelecline8250]

I love that you showed a Rayon dress. Videos are hard to find. Thank you Beautiful dress

[@kristileigh7336]

I had no problems at all understanding this video. I'm advanced and work as a seamstress, but I used this video to teach a friend to sew. I only had to give a little guidance here & there. For example, you cut one inch in the skirt to make a small. Since she is closer to a large, we cut about 1 1/2 inch. Just a lucky guess. I think you did a great job! I'm hoping to use more of your videos to teach others to sew so keep em coming!

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Thanks Krist!! That means so much😍

[@kristileigh7336]

Well, I saw several comments complaining that your instructions weren't easy enough to follow, and I had to put my 2 cents in. You did a wonderful job, and anyone with the smallest amount of knowledge about sewing should be able to figure it out. I loved it because I'm trying to teach someone to sew without patterns because she would like to eventually design her own items. I think this was a great start. As soon as she finished her hems and the last few details, I'll share a picture of her dress.

[@EmilyGilbeywilbey]

Kristi Leigh yeah it's easy if you already know how to make a circle skirt but more difficult if not as the filing technique was brief and camera work not showing detail. lovely easy tutorial for those with basic knowledge though.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊 you are amazing and very very brave. I don't think I could ever make a beautiful garment like that without a pattern. And you are so beautiful 😍 you'd look 👀 good in a sack.

[@marieuwamahoro3337]

this is really beautiful, I get everything else except how to cut the skirt doesn't show the whole process plz help

[@maryjflanagan1922]

Some of the explanations were confusing, but your demonstration was very good. This is a very pretty, easy to make dress.

[@jaelldixon]

👏 CONGRATULATIONS on your up coming wedding.. Looking forward to lots of pics. ♥

[@kimabola8258]

You always look like you're just cutting things willy nilly, but they always come out looking perfect! YOU ARE A SORCERESS!

[@mydiscoveryII]

I loved it and had no issue following along.

[@Spiritofmyancestors_71]

You made that seem so simple. It's a beautiful dress.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Rebecca Williams Thanks love!

[@Dianevara]

Love it! I want to try it also. Greetings from Suriname.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Thank you!

[@tamiaaa9645]

after you folded the fabric into a triangle , you folded it again into a smaller triangle??

[@DanaDlites]

This I s a beautiful style. I am hoping I can make it for my baby shower. I have about 6 yards of material I hope it's enough to cover my bump. Thank you for sharing . X

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Thanks love!!

[@esmihulse515]

Beautiful, i watched d whole process,bt was confused,like its nt quite,i dont knw wat to say

[@donnajocatlady3839]

Never thought of using the table to stabilize the scissors for cutting straight lines!!!

[@lucianbercean8928]

You are awesome!!! Your outfits are great! Good job! I love what you do!

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Lucian Bercean thank you!!

[@renadabennett251]

I didn't understand cutting the skirt, full circle? film doesn't show fold nor the curved cut can U explain? beautiful dress

[@mumblesandwool1243]

look up a circle skirt tutorial. you have to fold the fabric, then take your waist measurement. divide that by 6.28 and that will be a fourth of your circle (since the skirt is folded, when you cut it, it will be a full circle unfolded) draw a curve by taking the measuring tape of your final measurement (the number you get after 6.28) from the corner of the fabric, and keep the top of the measure tape lined uo to the cirber, and mark however many inches the last mwasurement was. pivot the tape and mark from one end all the way to the other end of the fabric. you should have a small curved line near the corner of the fabric. after that, decide how long you want the skirt to be, take note if that measurement and do the exact same thing you did for the waist, only this time using the measurement of length you just took. then with the fabric still folded, cut along the curved lines you made from the measurement. annika victoria has a great tutorial here kn yourube for measurements for a circle skirt and how to figure it out. i hope this helps!

[@mumblesandwool1243]

+Katherine Sillaman you have to fold the fabric twice, vertical and then horizontally and then use one corner*

[@AprendaArtesanato]

Perfeito adoreiii..

[@Tiki12t4]

What type of fabric do you use?

[@janelleelbourne283]

yes i love this dress could you tell me the kind of cloth you have to use please

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Rayon

[@cora_kathlena]

Such a pretty dress, and I'm a pretty advanced sewer, and this was so confusing. Idk if it's the way you filmed it, or how it was explained but yea.

[@stormygomez9524]

+Everyday Kathlena Yes, I left confused too because to me she really didn't explain just showed us and I still don't understand.. I'm guessing she measure her chest area and that's how she got 10 inches across, idk...

[@stormieinapril9626]

I agree with you. And not saying anything negative about her because she is very talented. But I've noticed a lot of her videos are somewhat confusing. I think this is for people who are more advanced but nevertheless, I still have learned a lot from her. 😄

[@ngomocarine1866]

Everyday Kathlena I got lost at the triangle part. didn't even know what was happening and the dress is so beautiful 😭😭

[@simisolaxtian5999]

The design is beautiful but instruction is not great at all

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Hi Nicole! I included a link o the fabric in the description bar.

[@plussizeinsider1237]

+Teiraney j Yeah.

[@moongoddesslilly4987]

I am lost as to which way the to fold the fabric in the beginning salvage edges meeting or cut edges meeting?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Salvage edges are together, folded hot dog style. Just as it comes off the bolt.

[@moongoddesslilly4987]

Thank you

[@nipunikaushalya4094]

can you plz tell me the another fabric for this dress.bcz here i cant find that material.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Any 100% rayon will work. You could also use 100% cotton.

[@TheSmurfalusion]

how do you measure and cut the waist on the skirt section? I am asking because I see you cut the corner of the triangle

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Hi Tiffany When you cut out the circle skirt, you want to cut the waist the size of your waist measurement. You can start by cutting an inch off...then open the skirt put it up to your waist cut more until its your size. Or you could fold the tape measure and cut the waist size.

[@AprendaArtesanato]

Gostei

[@seximimi101m]

Hi... I wanted to know what was the reason for the first cut of the fabric if you were going to sew it back? Otherwise this tutorial was excellent!

[@jamesandericthechamps3360]

For the zipper

[@marquishaatkins2897]

the first fold, do you fold it in half and then cut

[@brandiesha]

Do you think 5 yards is enough fabric for a plus size dress?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

brandiesha 5 yards will cover the skirt and straps. You may want an additional yard for the top.

[@tonyawilliams992]

when are you coming back with more tutorials?

[@LadyZ2190]

How long does it normally take to me a maxi dress?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

It's a few hours, because its so much fabric.

[@janedowellaful]

is that stretch

[@tonyawilliams992]

Mrs Teirany J when are you going to return?....missing your tutorials

[@Ur_fav_josie]

Hi! Super excited to find this video. Love your dress! I have a spandex fabric....will that work?? Also, I only bought two yards (though I want to use it only for the skirt and make the top out of a different fabric). Will that work?? Or do I need more fabric for the skirt portion? Thanks a million!!!

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Hi you can make a shorter skirt with 2 yards... Like knee length or a little above. You will need 5 yards to get the long, full skirt. That will also be enough left to make the top. Thanks for watching!

[@ginaembry2931]

This is Beautiful

[@kimberlymitchell3990]

should the fabric be folded length wise at :45 seconds? im unsure about this portion! plz help

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Yes! Folded lengthwise and another way to say it is hot dog style.

[@AniyaSB]

Good job! I love this tutorial it gives me some really good ideas. Nicole you can use a light weight knit or and silky print. This looks like a silky print. Beautiful! I wanna see yours Nicole, so get to it. Once again Teiraney Ousley not a good job but a great job! By the way I subscribed!

[@kittysshrink628]

Beautiful dress but very confusing.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

kittys shrink Just keep trying it gets easier over time!

[@princessaduongtq]

Nice

[@koriejohnson7211]

Does this diy call for stretch fabric???

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Korie Johnson I didn't use a stretchy fabric. But you could, it would make it a lot easier.

[@koriejohnson7211]

thank you SO much Teiraney j

[@theonewhereginacooks5596]

Gorgeous!!

[@kelvinamoore8774]

Hello Ms.J I wanted to know if chiffon would work for the skirt? And I have leather vinyl for the top part. (It's all white) and I brought 120" chiffon cause I couldn't get how to cut n sew it together for the length but anyway will chiffon work or Nah. Lol😄

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Kelvina Moore yes you can use chiffon for the skirt. You are still going to have to combine them to get the width and length equal. You need it to be an even square. I hope that helps.

[@queenzooh5390]

i love it ....how much yards did you use?

[@stormygomez9524]

+Queen Zooh She said 5yards...

[@tonyagraham9886]

This so beautiful. What kind of fabric is this?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Rayon, thank you!

[@mildredmusimanga9353]

so interested

[@sweetdrops3]

ALWAYS GET SO CDONFUSED... BUT HOW TO I SEW THE SKIRT TO WAISTBAND ON TOP AND I AM ALWAYS LEFT WITH THE LEFT OVER WINGS FROM THE TOP PART. SAD. I AM A BEGINNER

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Sweet Drop that's okay! So did I on the first try. Try just attaching the top like normal. Laying the top on the skirt and pin down and sew across. To fix the extra fabric in the top, the wings... Just out the in more on the edges. I hope that was helpful

[@christinacox9170]

What do you mean, 'creating a small'?

[@ro3554]

Hi what is the width of the fabric pls?

[@angeladixon6516]

Plus size peeps who used this pattern, did you find it flattering? Asking before I cut ;)

[@Soshesaysjessica]

For the life of me I cannot make a circle skirt,the front comes up higher than the rest. Any idea as to why? I'll be watching your vids all night! Lol

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Lol! You need to move your skirt over as you cut. That will help keep it straight. If that doesn't help...cut a circle skirt out of newspaper, much easier to handle and control. Open it up and check thats its a good circle. Use that as a pattern when cutting your skirt.

[@jumodas9319]

Tem como traduzir para o português por gentileza

[@valerielemons7733]

Thank u...

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

You're welcome!! I hope it was helpful.

[@valerielemons7733]

Yes very helpful. hope to create very soon to post

[@golddiy7967]

Awesome Diy project ...

[@ximenaaraya5396]

hermosoooooo!

[@helen4997]

Hello there, This dress is gorgeous on you. As i read the comments below i try to understand what they are saying, i am not a seamstress, but, i believe these ladies would like to know how is it that you arrived at the measuring of your body to reflect on the material measurements, then the cutting will make more sense in their minds. one of the readers would like to know if you could translate the video which is very hard to do. But, thank so much, you did a great video, you would have a lot more following if you did this video or another one showing how to do the body measuring and putting it like on a butcher paper or something like that and then cut. Thanks for listening.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Thanks for the feedback Helen. Yes, I plan to update a few of my videos with clearer instructions. This was my first video! Stay tuned!

[@Alishaspieces]

how do I figure the size of the triangles?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

You can measure width and length of bust area. 10 inches is pretty good for size for most people.

[@sierrakonesky365]

Using a chopstick works too

[@SnuggleBunny.]

Sierra Konesky I use a pencil...using the eraser side to push fabric through✏️

[@swinnfamily]

How many inches did you make the straps?

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

The straps were 23 inches. I would measure where the tip of triangles stop in front to the waist to get the length.

[@TheSmurfalusion]

Thank you for the tip

[@jullyjohnson8240]

Love

Thank you

Thanks for watching!!

[@LadyZ2190]

[@321raain]

Love this dress...too bad it wouldn't work for plus size

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

Jessica Kimmel this could work for any size. Look up empire waist on plus size...looks great!!

[@minaalgeria5688]

T'es trop belle

[@octaviaeddings3765]

I understood everything up until the very end. This is a DIY, I need just a little more guidance then verbally telling me instructions. That defeats the purpose for me to look at KZbin videos. Don't mean to be harsh and I'm sorry if I do. That's my honest opinion/critique on this video.

[@AveCaesar2025]

You say you cut down an inch from the top of the circle skirt for the waistline, this creates a waist size of approx 6". Did you give the incorrect figure, cause the only real way to safely work out the waist circumference is using algebra. Looks like a truly lovely dress but the instructions are so confusing, and I'm an extremely experienced sewer..

[@AveCaesar2025]

Have just laid out fabric for a circle skirt and then cut an inch down from the point just to see the exact size waist that gave, and it comes out at 5". Other than Barbi I doubt that waist will fit anybody.

[@sali1276]

Not enough detail at all but lovely dress .....gonna have to find a better tutorial to follow

[@SewcraftymeT]

Liked and Subscribed.... 💜

[@shamsunnoor433]

Good video but music is too loud, had to remove my headphones

[@helen4997]

Wow, what a beautiful dress; But, there's always a butt, lol, the music was horrible.( Sorry, about the bad critic, I have to sandwich my comment ) the material was gorgeous and you looked great in it.

[@DIYwithTeiraney]

I agree, it was way too loud. I will be updating some videos. This was my first shot at this...so I'm taking notes and making adjustments. Thanks for watching!
