Since she didn't really explain, she attached what looks like iron on interfacing to the "ribbon" fabric to make the final ribbon more stiff and give it the very flat ends to make it more cute. Otherwise the fabric might be too floppy.

[@PrettyLittleSoulEater]

Thank you!

[@bellemusecore]

When you tie it multpile times and wash it does it stay creased or easily ironed out?

[@donaunsworth5620]

Thankyou I noticed that. I presume its light/medium weight? Also I can't quite figure out how to change the sizing from hers to mine? Am I being totally dumb here as a novice sewer? ❤

[@onetwothree7627]

​@@donaunsworth5620you could try marking a rectangle for the bodice front. Measure from where you want the neckline to start (say your neck/top of your chest) to where you want it to end (say your waist) and that should be the height/width of the rectangle. Length can be half your bust measurement. Cut out the top corners like she did to account for your armpits, and then put the rectangle on your body to check the fit. You'll find places that need to be folded over/puckered/cut away for the bodice to fit your form properly, mark these as your darts. Two on the sides of your bust and two on the waist. You'll have to eyeball it and divide the total folded over measurement into two for both the waist area and the sides of the bust. That'll give you a preliminary pattern, you can add seam allowances and make it into a proper pattern piece. Then for the back you can make the width of the straps an inch or 1/2 an inch less than the width of your bodice front. Her length is probably good, but you could make it less or more. I'd recommend tying a bow with some fabric around your waist first to figure out how much you need. For the skirt I'd watch a circle skirt video, but you could probably get away with cutting out a waist measurement that's twice your waist measurement (or 3x, or as much or as little as you like, depending on how ruffly you want it to be), and extrapolating a circle from there, kind of. Like you mark out 1/2 the waist circumference, and then put your measuring tape on that line. Mark down to the length you want it to be, and then mark. Keep doing this by putting your measuring tape on a different point at the waist line and measuring down from there. Add seam allowance and cut it out. Cut out two pieces and ta-da, you have a skirt. For the ruffle you can use her measurements and also for the pockets. But you can change them around if you want. Longer ruffles means more gathers. Shorter ones means less gathers. Pockets can be made bigger or just gotten rid of entirely, if you'd rather not go through the hassle of sewing them. And there you have it. I hope this made some modicum of sense, and I'm sorry if this explanation wasn't very good.

Been subscribed for a while, but I'm back after watching Mia Maples make this dress for her bridesmaids 🥰

[@conniegonzalez3634]

SAME

[@chdeepthisri4784]

Exactly the same

[@chloehidden6211]

Yesssss same

[@katiejones7969]

SAME, im thinking about making my own graduation dress!

[@404personNotFound]

Exactly the same lol

[@AM-dm1pl]

So pretty! Great idea to use the sheets. I love thrifting pretty sheets. Would love to see some sweat shirt/pants sets, some 2 piece loungers sets, and dresses for winter.

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

Maybe she could make PJs! Love to see matching sweats & winter dresses!!!💖🌈😍

[@fromRAGtoFASHIONJulieWillaert]

You go me at ' it has pockets'!!!!!

[@hyukies_gf]

the dress that mia made for her bridesmaid dresses must be this one. love it

[@rubymarilynrich7881]

I've been stuck in my college dorm room in Shanghai for a month and a half now cause of covid and am currently sewing this dress by hand out of my bedsheets 😅 So far so good! The bodice is almost done :)))

[@Lillkatzino]

Omg!! Did you finish it? I hope you’re doing ok! :)

[@lifewsweetheart.]

BY HAND?! woah, goodluck!

[@zackkk2179]

My uncle is gonna gift me the blue brother sewing machine and i am totally making this! We have 2 fitted dark blue bedsheets here we dont use anymore and i am willing to use them to make this thank you so much for jnspiring me to do this i have improved alot on sewing because of you. Thank you so much for making content that motivates and inspires people like me :))

[@bonnywren5464]

I bet this will look so cute with a turtleneck underneath for winter! We love a good layered piece:)

[@barbaraness4507]

Using sheets for fabric is both economical and, and easy to find. The first thing to watch out for is what the sheets are made of because some can wrinkle very easily.

[@onlyapilgrim]

ok. this is officially my favorite dress ever

[@rendandsew5718]

I do the exact same thing with ruffles: divide them into four sections, pin to four equal points on bodice or dress before going ahead to gather in order to ensure even fullness all round. Wow!

[@dakotajones7655]

Just watched Mia Maples video yesterday and this popped up on my recommended! How cool!

[@xImIsabella]

Mia Maples is using your pattern for her bridesmaids dresses! 😍😍

[@staypositive4149]

This ribbon back could totally be crossed in the back and tied in the front too, with a little length added! I love this as an alternative to buttons

[@nekoneko644]

I made mine with crossed straps in the back and I love how it turned out.

[@helenreject]

I’m binge watching all of your videos bc they are so interesting (new subscriber) i have never sewed anything in my life. I’m recently trying to learn how to crochet but my schedule never allows enough time to learn hobbies that I want to pick up. Maybe one day I’ll it a try. But nonetheless your creations are so beautiful!!! Cant wait until your future updates 🤩

[@astridliu8270]

really love your videos! I've been following you like 1 year ago? during the quarantine, I actually learned a lot from you and made tons of failing works (I am a beginner). And now I came to the US for college and got my first sewing machine! Can't wait to see more videos!

[@cat_doge]

BEAUTIFUL

[@tgm3383]

Cutest dress 🥰

[@238Tina1]

Love this 😍 I would maybe make it with a smaller bow in the back but that would be a big change in the pattern 👀

[@danischi4080]

Yes, I also have started two dresses in like, July and am just now finishing them up lol😂 It's so cold outside now, I can't even wear them

[@MissNavyBlue7]
