Great that you’re sharing the tips about adding length with a ruffle at the bottom. Excellent observation about measuring for length before you begin. Cute dress.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!

It is a very quick make and I can't wait to try it. Your fabric is adorable! Thanks for this sewing tutorial, they are so helpful!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You are so welcome!

[@laurieschmitz3897]

Your dress is adorable, Deana! Thank you for teaching us this cute idea. I want to make it NOW 😉

[@KatheD]

Oh! A black ruffle at the bottom would be totally adorable, balancing the black at the top and echoing the fluttery sleeves 😍

[@yanna257]

Great hack, and I LOVE that fabric!!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks! 😁

[@kfaz3979]

So adorable and I love the sleeves! Thanks for showing us this easy hack - looks very easy to do with a beautiful result! I know we’re all particular with what length we’re comfortable with, but that length looks terrific on you with your awesome figure! Such a cute dress!

[@lynnshepard7485]

Cute! I watch this video over and over to come up with different ideas. How about a coverstitch hem on the flutter sleeves in yellow? Or a decorative floral stitch in yellow? Hmmmmm.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Great idea!!

[@elizabethrowe7262]

Great hack and love flutter sleeves as an alternative to having a band. You make look so easy too.

[@elliealfonso4562]

A black tier would look fab and give you length you want. Such a beautiful hack... thanks xoxo 😘

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you so much!! and that's a great idea!

[@tday3233]

😂 Too funny trying to figure the sleeves 😂

[@caroledge2126]

Thanks for the sewing inspirations and guidance

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Most welcome 😊

[@queenie197754]

Love the dress! Didi you allow for 1/2 seam allowance around the neck , arm and sides as well as you pulled the fabric back 1/2 in from the fold. I am a beginner so please explain. THX

[@Foodmonk85]

You are skilled

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!

[@yare0923]

😍love it! I can wait to try it.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks! Hope you like it!

[@laurenraup-plummer2826]

I love the dress, but I also love your shirt! Is it an oversized tee?

[@cindycash1772]

Great video... you always inspire... how about a band in black for a hem ??? I like the idea of a ruffle too but I like a smooth hem line... blessings...

[@kathygann7632]

When I match stripes, I check after I fold the fabric and before I put the pattern on and pin every other stripe so they match side to side. I was surprised you didn’t seem to even check

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

yes!! If you are worried about matching stripes, you really need to make sure to check as you are sewing. fabric can slide and get shifted easily ❤️

[@dancetoday542]

I don't know if anyone has asked, but what are those pattern weights, they are intriguing?

[@janellelarson945]

Ty

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Any time!

[@queenie197754]

What pattern did you use for your top you have on?

[@aldabutland9250]

Why did you place second pattern piece upside down on fabric?

[@theresastuckey1597]

Hi 😊

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Hello 😊

[@melv7440]

Or you could add a black band rather than a ruffle.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

that's a great idea as well!!

[@kathygann7632]

You didn’t match the stripes.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I usually don't even think about it haha I tried this time when cutting but when it came to sewing the front and back I had already forgotten about it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@kathygann7632]

@@EllieandMacPatternsLLC Well, there is the added stress of filming and doing everything right, but stripes matching, to me, the the most obvious difference between cheap and expensive clothes. Well, that and matching plaids.

[@elsieels]

Suits you just like that, don’t make it longer

[@sewitaliano7423]

Too scattered, confusing :(
