So cute! Thank you for the demo with the clear elastic!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You are so welcome!

[@nancyhelpinstill1834]

BTW - WHAT are those pattern weights you were using?

[@amberparish90]

Very 1920s with the drip waist, but also getting 1970s vibes with the print…overall, absolutely love the dress!!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I’m so grateful for all the tips, information and math (your math makes sense to me 😂) I would be lost without you! Turned out amazing as always!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Very cute dress! Reminds me of a dress I wore in the 80's!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you!

[@nancyhelpinstill1834]

LOVE your videos! Just discovered your channel and have been busy bingeing your older ones! I know you obviously work for E & M, but wish you had your own channel also so you could use big fours. I’m a very experienced sewist but still love your videos for your style and tips.

[@theresaatkinson6628]

Love all your videos!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!!

[@keeleypowell6121]

Super cute! Did you share the length of each layer? I picked up the calculation of the width, but I don't know if I heard the length. I already love the Curved Hem Tank pattern and this hack may be another summer staple.

A beautiful dress and thanks for the demo. I have tried working with the clear elastic but not sure I like using it. Used it for stabilizing shoulder hems for sewing seams together.

[@kaywilliams3435]

Love everything about the dress

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Kay Williams, I am so glad you love it! Thank you for watching!

[@Kristinford]

I love your ruler

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

[@robinbryant9783]

Really cute! Love the fabric choice.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you! 😊

[@angelamcgovern1525]

What a beautiful dress, thanks for a fab video with loads of tips, really appreciate all your videos xx

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You are so welcome!

[@jlb7041]

Thank you so much for showing this!!! I have a dress almost exactly like that and have been looking for a pattern for 3 years. I'm so excited. Can you do the same thing with the T-Dress? I need to have sleeves for work. And the elastic trick is amazing.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You are so welcome! and yes, I think you can!

[@djbruce7288]

I can't wait to make this! How much fabric should I purchase?

[@pamici1]

Love this hack - very cute!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!

[@kaywilliams3435]

Love everything about the dress Dianna. The hack is great and the fabric is lovely, it really suits you. Thanks for the vlog. I just have a query. Whenever I try to use clear elastic it slips as I am sewing it and doesn’t stay in line with the fabric. That did not happen with you! Any suggestions please?

[@joyvenita]

So cute!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!

[@Maridith2]

Aaadorable!🤩

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you!

[@Abc-mv7yq]

Great pattern hack! By the way, what was the name of the large ruler you used?

[@rebeccacastro5405]

How would you make the curved hem in a dress length? Just add inches at the bottom or so you need to cut outward to allow for hips? Thank you!

[@terahstearns474]

Cute!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!

[@janiswolf-pittel790]

😍so cute💕

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

thanks!

[@marlenede-abel1336]

I know you did say the name of the place you purchased your fabric - would you mind repeating it. Great tutorial.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

There is a link to it in the description. It's from Olgascloset.com ❤️

[@traceyjones6220]

What pattern is this in your shop please? Can you turn this into a tunic? Newbie here😂

[@queenie197754]

Hi love the dress. I went to the site for fabric and didn't see it. In fact the site was down you had to hit homepage at the bottom for a redirect. Help! Would love to get that fabric. Is it a jersey knit? Thx

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

oh no, here is the link to the fabric ❤️olgascloset.com/product/tan-orange-mustard-retro-waves-flowers-exclusive-print/?ref=528687

[@kenya76]

Sew cute

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

kenya Brathwaite, I am so glad you love it! Thank you for watching!

[@caroledge2126]

great dress from the tank top pattern. question what short sleeve pattern would you use if adding short sleeves?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

great idea! I would grab a pattern similar in the shape to the top that you love then I would lay the main bodice over it to adjust the armcye of this pattern. That way you can use any sleeve you like ❤️

[@keljenki]

Great tips, I have to ask though, what pattern is your top? (if not rtw)

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Its the Basic Tee hacked to have ruched sides ❤️

[@ErinBurggraff-zr3tw]

Where do you get those magnets?!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

We no longer recommend the company due to some bad interactions with them. You can make your own magnetic mat and pattern weights. We have a video on how to do that.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gITHdKFjhKx4n8U

[@ErinBurggraff-zr3tw]

Thank you!!
