[@alaynabiltcliff468]

This is beautiful! In your opinion, how do you think the dress would look/work out if I lengthened the hem to make it floor length?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Great idea! It would look beautiful! Just measure from your waist down to your desired length, and add that to the pattern/fabric layout :)

[@annmariereid5136]

This is beautiful and you describe the process beautiful! Going to look into purchasing this pattern and trying this :). Thank you!

[@DressmakingAmore]

Thank you for watching this video! For this dress only stretch knit fabric will fit, though if you would like to use a woven fabric I recommend the Eloise dress sewing pattern! Here’s the link to it:dressmakingamore.com/products/eloisepattern

Hello dear Please how did you calculate the measurement of the elastic that goes on the upper part of the sleeve?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi! There is more information on how long the elastic should be in the instructions, on the fabric layout page :)

[@ayowtfella]

@@DressmakingAmore Oh okay thanks a lot💕

[@satoruchan348]

This pattern looks really pretty! could i ask if this is lined on the inside? because if i make this for a friend with sensitive skin, it would be better if its lined.

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi, thank you! The dress is not lined, but you can line it if you would like! Just be sure to use a knit fabric :)

[@chillhjs]

Hi, in one of the photos (crop top version) on your website, it looks like the sleeves are sheer. Is that a different fabric from the rest of the dress?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi! Yes, I used chiffon for the sleeves for that top!

[@krisraf]

I bought this pattern and tried it. I love the design, but I wanted to ask what stitch do I use for attaching the skirt to the bodice? Can I just serge it? I used straight stitch last time and serge and it broke my straight stitch, do you use a zigzag or stretch stitch for attaching the waist seam instead?

[@DressmakingAmore]

hi! It depends on the fabric, sometimes I use a straight stitch, other times only serger or both - for really stretchy fabric use a zigzag. So you need to choose the stitch that is most suitable for your fabric, testing it. With experience you will automatically make right choice :)

[@victoriarichards8633]

Quick question! In the video it says “fold a quarter inch to the backside and pin” when starting with the neckline. In the printed instructions it says “fold 1/2 in to the wrong side and pin.” Just trying to decipher which is best for the best finish! Is the 1/2 inch for a 1/2 in elastic?

[@frankiebeoulve484]

If I installed a zipper on the back would I be able to use a woven fabric for this pattern?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi Frankie! Because this dress doesn't have ease and bust darts, it won't have the needed shape with woven fabric. So, I do recommend knit fabric for the Ophelia dress :) If you like this type of dress, I do have a similar design for woven fabric - please check out the Noelle dress :)

[@aadhyakhandelwal2873]

Can i make this with non stretchy cotton?

[@DressmakingAmore]

I recommend only stretchy fabric for this dress 🤍

[@rosaliedesbiens1380]

Hi! 😊 This is absolutely amazing! I have one question about the seams. Do we have to always overlock the allowances? Because my sewing machine doesn't do that kind of seams :/

[@DressmakingAmore]

Thank you :) ❤️ When your fabric frays or unravels, you need to finish the edges in one way or another. You can fold the fabric and zigzag over, use a baby hem or bias finishing to finish the edges, and use a french seam for the seams as some options for you :)

[@naturelove757]

[@tiffani-5104]

What kind of fabric that you use

[@sheissewspiritual7840]

This is a lovely dress and the tutorial is wonderful. I find it hard to tolerate (short attention span) the tutorials where they talk forever before getting into the work itself so I appreciate how quickly this was done. I am just wondering why the bodice is split into top and bottom instead of being made whole with no stitching of top to skirt. Did you want it to be that way for a reason? For me, I would do it as just 2 pieces front and back for bodice to save time, but it truly is nice how you did it also. Maybe I will hack the pattern to make it work.

[@viktoryapoghosyan2399]

Dress is really beautiful🤍💚But how do I know how many cm of fabric to use for each?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Thank you so much Viktorya! For this dress, you'll need about 1 1/5 -1 5/8 yds, which is about 110-150 cm of fabric :)

[@fashion4everlove]

If I made this dress with a wolven would a zipper at the back be the only thing to consider or would there be other considerations?

[@DressmakingAmore]

You would also need to take into consideration bust darts, back darts, and ease to the dress :) In general, patterns for stretch knit fabrics are built differently than for woven fabrics, even if the woven fabric has some stretch to it.

[@Lili-bi6xx]

[@ann8136]

Hi can i use the "satin" fabric because i think they don't sell knit fabric in my hometown😅

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi Ann! For this dress, you can use satin for the sleeves, but you do need stretchy fabric for the main dress bodice and skirt as there is no closure. I'm currently working on a pattern for a beautiful dress that you can use satin fabric for! It's coming soon :)

[@JuniBlueDoe]

How much fabric do you need for just the top?

[@DressmakingAmore]

The rough estimate would be: The length of the sleeve + the length of the top. So if the sleeve is 40 cm, and the top is 25 cm, you'd need about 65 cm of fabric + a few extra cm to account for unevenness of fabric/shrinkage.
