ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on KZbin. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@AdirondackRuby]

Great fabric choice. The flowers are so bold and fun. Even the wrong side is super cool, like a watercolor painting.

[@withwendy]

I loved the wrong side! Was such a nice rainbow sheen :) thanks for watching!!

[@09lovewins]

do you have any patterns or blueprints that I could print to copy this? thanks! xoxo

[@shirleysaidsew1969]

That type of fabric is called jacquard (it oftens get compared to brocade) and yes it frays like crazy. You did an amazing job. The dress looks great.

[@PrincessKaji]

I feel like I watch alot of videos of seamstresses and think "wow it's so easy and they don't make mistakes" and seeing you do this video reminds me even the best mess up or have struggles. And that for me helps. Especially in a world that is so insta-perfect. Thank you Wendy. You've been an inspiration for years now :) ❤❤

[@tyrarose1425]

I really wish you showed us how you gathered and sewed the skirt portion of the dress on, I want to make this exact style of dress and your tutorial is the only good one out there for this dress xx

[@serrauncu]

Oh god the thing you had with the bobbin running out happens to me all the time and I absolutely hate it so now I'm trying to make it a habit to check the stiches once in a while to make sure that I'm actually sewing with the thread

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

Add me to that list as well! I'm also guilty to winding more thread than I need, but I can't waste the thread... I just ended up purchasing a dozen new bobbins for when that happens. 😏

[@SinaAlida]

I HATE when that happens, when it does i just have to put the project down and wait a little before I continue lol

[@withwendy]

Yes I am so prone to this issue when I'm in a rush! The reminder to check always comes at such an unwelcome time hahaha

[@letitiakiu]

Your mini iron is SO CUTEEEE. it was an honour to wear this dress 💕

[@Per631]

We should always include pockets, shouldn't we? Pockets are life!

[@sarahwhittaker5356]

Looking super glam. I'm so impressed by your ability to look at a dress and figure out how you are going to make it. Hope you have a very merry Christmas and some time to chill post Christmas- having worked for a church previously I am well aware that Christmas is all hands on deck.

[@anna-dk1sj]

Sarah Whittaker Is

[@withwendy]

Merry Christmas to you too!! Thank you for all your kind words :)

[@merethevik3798]

My sewing machine has an alarm for when the bobbin thread is emty!!

[@merethevik3798]

The old Janome 9000 does that!

[@BaileyDianne]

Ahhhh I’m jealous haha

[@InnaChe]

It’s really good machine 👍

[@waterbitten]

really that's amazing, I'm definitely jealous!

[@maryjflanagan1922]

Cool!

[@stefaniaraco8904]

That blush is 🔥

[@iont8172]

Right?! The dress was beautiful but all I could think is that I'm gonna do this makeup look tomorrow!!! At least I'll try!

[@TekiKekai]

I k n e w I could trust you to make this dress, I've been dying to see someone do a tutorial for it!

[@LeCherrySodaa]

I wish I could've seen the finished dress better, hope you'll upload some pictures to instagram because it seems it would be stunning.

[@shreya9156]

Her collaboration video (the one uploaded before this) shows the dress off beautifully!

[@withwendy]

@@shreya9156 Thanks girl!! There's a link in the bio :)

[@sambarriffe7927]

Nice

[@1VampieNight]

With Ariana's dress I was stuck in a odd place of do I love or hate this? I still don't know. But I think it was the fabric that threw me off. Your dress is amazing!! 🖤🖤

[@MizBri12]

1VampieNight I hate it! Mostly because it looks like she took her baby cousins christening outfit. It’s too short!

[@maryhester5086]

Brianna Bankhead that's *YOUR* opinion

[@pagesinked]

Mary Hester no, it's literally too short and looks like a toddler dress lol

[@taylorott4185]

@@pagesinked that's the point. Its supposed to look child like and pure.

[@sunflowerdaisy5345]

@@pagesinked I'm pretty sure that the type of dress she was wearing was literally called a baby doll dress.

[@awefullcreations9483]

That dress came out soooo cute! It's amazing you finished sewing it up all in one day!!! :D

[@dianavoermans]

This fabric is absolutely stunning on you!

[@evilmissmunchkin]

Ugh this is S T U N N I N G. That fabric is so beautiful to start with, and even with the time constraints you absolutely knocked it out of the park! Happy holidays :)

[@jrdmgl6190]

That fabric is just... gorgeous.... I have no words

[@teekay1906]

Wennnndy!! Omg I’m in love with final look!

[@MildExplosion]

The timeline of this made me feel like I was watching a Project Runway challenge 😅

[@michellebudd3887]

Thank you for making this tutorial! I've been in love with this dress style since I first saw it on Ariana and really wanted to make it myself!!!

[@quinnstearns2137]

this video is honestly super relaxing i love it so much!! love your videos and the dress was beautiful!!

[@RodneyAndMeVideos]

This was the most relaxing and soothing video even through the stress. Your nails were fab too! Have to get myself one of those mini irons

[@user-or6nz4ed6w]

Your dress was A MILLION times Breathtaking I was magically in love with it. It was a really shame that you didn't walk with pride for us to be able to Enjoy it !!!!!!🥰🥰

[@sabasiddique8891]

I loved this!!! I really enjoy watching your process, sometimes of trail and error, and learning about how you work. I really relate, and its so fun to watch

[@Zezzalica]

The dress turned out great! 👗 Well done! By the way, I LOVE you mini iron! 💚💚💚

[@Tinyline]

SOOOO CUTE DRESSSS!!!!

[@youtupelover17]

Watching this after yesterdays video is crazy… it’s amazing how far you’ve come :)

[@prettylittlecharm]

Thanks for creating this video Wendy!! You've given me the inspiration I wanted to start sewing dresses again!!

[@selamgetu6564]

Your videos are so relaxing, so inspiring, and the end result is always so beautiful!!! Love it Wendy

[@MyFairDiva]

So beautiful Wendy! And it looks easy too, but the result is amazing. I love your fabric choice even when it was complicated to handle, but seriously girl, you killed it in that dress! I hope everyone commented on it at the party, it looked like you were having so much fun

[@L518C]

This dress is sooooo cute!

[@vinopan3625]

I love how to dress is coming out the way you want them to be! I hope there is more instruction of how you make the bottom part puffy in that way, like how you attach them together because the fullness of the skirt is beautiful!

[@vcantdrive]

OMG I'M SO HAPPY YOU UPLOADED A VIDEO ABOUT ITTT!! xx

[@HAVgiraffe]

So great we got to see how you made it! Super cute!

[@Lovin1sa]

I love your channel wendy you have inspired me to keep on sewing even when I feel hopeless 💓

[@melisa9223]

Yayyy it's finally out! Been anticipating for this vid :)

[@chaitanyab3207]

Loved loved loved the dress omg so adorable

[@alice.lefthandedscissors]

This is such an amazing dress!! The fabric is BEAUTIFUL! I would not look good in a fit like this but it definitely made me want to make it!

[@toniturner6742]

That fabric is GORGEOUS

[@synetriajackson9576]

The dress is so pretty love it can't wait to try it

[@iridescentchild6512]

Gosh even the inside of that fabric is SO pretty!

[@georgianapper2479]

honestly love you Wendy xx you're amazing

[@LydiaNaomi]

this is amazing! I think yours is so much more sophisticated and looove the fabric!

[@thompsonh4]

That fabric would make such a pretty romper or even a pair of cigarette pants... 😍

[@iont8172]

Oh the pants idea is on point! It would look amazing!

[@thompsonh4]

Ion T Riiiight! Maybe like a mid to high waist pattern...

[@TemptressMoon]

Cigarette pants for sure

[@YGhappyvirus]

Omg a pair of formal shirts would be bomb

[@BetaMaxx_]

WENDY yours looks even better than the inspo! also, where'd you get the iron/mat at 5:40? that set up seems so convenient omg

[@j4cobblank]

I had the same thought! I found it on Amazon based on what it looks like. The ironing mat seems to be in the "Frequently purchased together" section. www.amazon.com/Small-Mini-Iron-Non-Stick-Extra-Long/dp/B01AK9ZUGO If the link doesn't work, it's the "Small Mini Iron" by Ivation.

[@BetaMaxx_]

Oh my gosh thank you so much!

[@Thepillarcelebration]

It came out beautifully! I want one now.

[@marinaromanova3475]

OBSESSED WITH THIS, WENDY!

[@kikusama]

I love that fabric!

[@emilybutterfield3339]

I LOVE this. I especially love that you include the "guys look I just made this huge mistake, now to fix it" part (rather than just fixing it and not mentioning it) because it's so relatable, and making/fixing mistakes is such a huge part of sewing. It makes me feel less frustrated knowing that that's just part of the process. (And to answer your question - me, sew without a bobbin thread for like a mile before realizing it? Nooooo nevvvverrrrr)

[@breanahayes3030]

The dress turned out soo good!

[@madelinecedillo4821]

amazing dress!!!! love your videos, keep up the good work!!

[@starbright5504]

I love this dress !

[@helloeli7162]

It makes me feel good that even experienced people freak out when working on their sewing projects.

[@Sewmazing]

Gorgeous dress! Love it!😍

[@TaraSaAustralia]

You inspired me so much to start sewing again too. sending some love Wendy!

[@pinkpandapopper]

Amazing job! And beautiful fabric too!

[@koalabrows6755]

The fabric is SOO pretty

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Really loved this video. This one showed how to "dupe" clothing you admire from afar...via Google images. Thanks for showing us how. And your hubby looks so proud of being your arm candy!!! Looks like a fun holiday party. Have a great safe winter holidays and exciting NYE! Cant wait to see what you have planned for 2019!!!!

[@chickenleg002]

So cute! Turned out very nicely! Not a style everyone can wear, but you looked terrific in it!

[@sarahel2017]

I freaking LOVE it. Well done ! 🖤

[@deeptabarua5997]

I love the flowers 😍😍😍 and the dress

[@Kimiko11111]

u look amazing!!!!! love the way u styled it

[@AfroBeauT21]

Omg! This video is so me, except I would have been blubbering into my fabric by the end. Nice to see how you persevered.

[@withwendy]

I been there with the blubbering, not all fabrics are good for crying into unfortunately hahaha :)

[@zoeburkart1830]

I saw this dress in your last vid, and totally thought of Ariana! I love this dress and I am so happy you’ve made it!!!

[@Sibzzzy]

When the fabric is as amazing on reverse 😍 very cute nicely made

[@cmkristi]

[@bestgreendaygirlever]

[@tanishawallace3661]

[@misaa7216]

So so so beautiful and I'm inspired to try and make this!!!!

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I saw some fabric like this at my local store. I thought it'd make a very pretty New Year's dress. I haven't seem one of your videos in a long time. You're still brilliant!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Very beautiful fabric and the dress turned out gorgeous.

[@hanaali44]

I love the back side of the fabric so pretty.

[@lurenetraut]
