Can I just say, I love how she doesn't use any fancy, curved rulers and tools to make her patterns. Usually kills my motivation in other DIY videos. Thanks for keeping it simple Jess

[@JessDangDIY]

It's my pleasure!

[@AngelDivinity111]

Thank you for the pattern drafting tutorial! It's always frustrating as a bigger girl when patterns dont go up to my size and now I can just make my own :)

[@JessDangDIY]

You're so welcome!

[@chemistrycat3961]

These videos keep getting better and better! This dress will be the fifth thing I make from you. I feel like you really take any suggestions seriously and are constantly trying to improve your videos and it really shows! It’s been great learning to sew using your content. I find it much easier than store bought sewing patterns most of the time.

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that

[@noniakaji6342]

I really appreciate you way of teaching.. my first learning on stiching from you..... Thankyou so much...

[@JessDangDIY]

It's great to know you made it. Hope to see you wearing it soon

[@Aitherea]

Literally every dress I want to try to make she has on her channel, for free, with step by step instructions. I'm a beginner so I cant quite see buying a 15$ pattern for a dress like this. I just love this woman and her channel.

[@CandyKate09]

Bought a sewing machine at the weekend. This is the first project i'm undertaking! As a newbie, this was a challenge (i'm not finished yet, im about 3 days in, on and off throughout the day) but i'm so close to finishing and I'm really proud of myself! I've enjoyed all of it. Thank you for letting us access this video!

[@baylee8659]

How did your dress go?!

[@JessDangDIY]

Hope you made one for yourself

Excelente, te quedó divino!

[@Helena-sq9uu]

Thank you for the easy and understandable sewing tutorial :) . I really like this style of dress. The instructions are easy to follow and it didn't take me long to sew this dress. With the fabric I chose I didn't like the fit of the skirt. I think it was way too voluminous. So I ended up shortening the dress and sewing some darts at the side seams. I also think that a shorter zipper (40 cm) would have worked maybe a bit better. And what you can't see in the video: don't forget to finish the seams and press them open if needed. edit: The way the circle skirt is made in the video doesn't work for a fabric with a directional pattern because otherwise the pattern would be diagonally. So I used some white fabric to draft the skirt how it's explained in the video and used this draft to cut out the skirt pieces from the actual fabric.

[@Crouteceleste]

Thank you SO MUCH for this complete pattern making tutorial ! I have a figure that’s full of extremes (very small shoulders, very large bust, small waist, very large bottom, short height) so I was afraid of buying a pre-made dress (expensive so better be sure it fits !), and pre-made patterns can have the same issue with fitting me. Now I can draft my own tailored whimsical cute dress !
