[@keychain3039]

Hi just bought your pattern and im super excited to get to work on it! But i just have one question,would you be able to tell me whether the fabric that you used was 60 inches wide? I just need to know before making a decision on fabric.

[@waterbitten]

thank you soooo much for explain that sleeve pattern drafting in so much brilliant detail!!.. ive never seen anyone actually bother to explain it, nevermind so clearly!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

That is a young woman's dress. It would never work on someone as old as me. It was very interesting watching you alter the pattern. I would have interfaced and lined the whole top to make sure it held the shape wanted. Thank you for this video. Please stay safe. It looks like your weather is as bad as ours here in Kentucky.

[@cecilyannelimbaga9542]

So pretty!! I love that you used a cotton blend than the organza because while the silhouette is "young", it does not scream baptismal dress like the ones made in organza.

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you! Yeah, I see what you mean. I used the muslin mainly because I would have been hot in an organza dress in summer (= plastic) which is why I tend to use 100% natural materials in most of my projects. This is no exception 🥰🥰

[@stellibelli1511]

A video on different types of fabric would be so helpful ❤️ the dress turned out absolutely beautiful! Love your content.

[@THISISKACHI]

The pattern is available on my Etsy AND there is a little Goodie on my website as well: a free download of the shorts that I quickly put together off camera (you can see them in the video montage at the end). All the links in the description 🤙🏻🤙🏻 BTW guys, Etsy at the moment is the easiest method to support me, so I can give you knew videos ever single week. I understand if this is not an option for you, I would also appreciate it if you could share my videos to you friends ♥️

[@lokylong28]

I love the tutorial of the sleeves sooooo much! You literally explains thing better than some of my tutors in uni 😭

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much 🙈🙈🥰

[@theglitterballlifestyle675]

This is so cute 😩😍 I’d worry about looking like a toddler but I love it 😭😍

[@THISISKACHI]

It's very toddleresce but I love it 🥰

[@keychain3039]

Dont think it would look toddleresqe just youthful. Dont see anything wrong with that😊

[@luciestegner]

ich liebe das Kleid!! Danke für die wöchentliche Inspiration🥰❣

[@MomoMakesStuff]

Very very cute dress. And the explanation of every step....so clear....so detailed. Great job!

[@Elli-oz6lh]

God I wish I had the skills necessary to make this dress, it looks absolutely gorgeous on you

[@THISISKACHI]

Sometimes stuff looks more difficult than it is. Don't underestimate your skills! Once you start trying, you'll get better and better 🥰

[@Elli-oz6lh]

@@THISISKACHI I'd love to make this dress too, but I have the issue of a bigger chest size. Do you have any tips for drafting a pattern/draping for a bigger cup size?

[@irrelevantmrna3400]

@@Elli-oz6lh i’m pretty sure rachel maksy puts a bra on her dress form and probably stuffs it, but if you don’t have a dress form, what i do is just wear the bra you want to wear in the garment (or no bra), a tight shirt and have a mirror on hand! you can just mark out the seams you want with thin tape and start ! carefully ! pinning the muslin to your shirt, cutting away excess fabric at the seam lines

[@LolaMarie91]

I cannot express how much I appreciate your content! Your videos are truly wonderful ❤️

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@linanutshell]

I just wanted to complement you on your amazing english! I grew up biligual german-american and I'm sure you have many viewers who aren't from Germany who would say the same aswell!! Also: I love your work, i love your style, i am amazed by the amount of time and sweat you put into your creations and this channel and i wanted to thank you for that♥️♥️ weiter so, ich hoffe mal so gut im Nähen zu sein wie du☺

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much 🥰 yes, I have quite a big US viewership which I am very thankful for ♥️

[@JessNicole1111]

This video is so helpful! Thank you for sharing not only the detailed info about the sleeve modification for this bodice but also the tip for getting gauze fabric to sew correctly. I’ll definitely be picking up some interfacing tape!

[@catl961]

I've always had an issue trying to put pieces together bc im a visual person. You explained it so well!!!! You're a goddess!

[@vlilyb]

So cute! Love that you added the shorts with the same fabric. I swear the wind always tries to expose me, when I am wearing dresses.

[@THISISKACHI]

Yeah it happened way too many times already 🙈🙈🙈 the pants were really easy!

[@AnnaAnna-ek6dz]

Hi, you can also cut old leggings to desired length and hem the edges :) it's quicker than sewing and works great!

[@CMonaLisa157]

Thanks for your tutorial video. I've learned by just watching it. Very clear explanation thanks and I subscribed!😊

[@silvanadelcarpio4249]

I started fashion school last year, your videos make me not want to give up😆😆 i love this

[@THISISKACHI]

Im so happy to hear this! 🥰🥰

[@misscrafty1000]

i really enjoyed how u showed us some more into pattern drafting

[@canaldamariana2276]

Unica youtuber que vi ensinar como se faz essa manga... Gratidão!

[@aria81stavrou]

Very nice!!!!

[@eforextra]

Also, i love your videos so much i never want to watch any other sewing video ever again

[@eforextra]

Definitely not hating on anyone else’s videos, i also love some other ppl’s videos but yours are just 😭😭♥️😭♥️😭♥️

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@eforextra]

@@THISISKACHI no, thank YOU!! And please keep making videos!!!! 😍😍😍♥️

[@mitchysoutchy5584]

thank you so much 😊..i'm from Algeria and i love your work so much ..keep going girl ...bravo 👏

[@hazelbloch8895]

So fun! I always say I want to make things like this then loose focus when it comes to pattern drafting and fitting! Might just buy a dang pattern and actually finish a project for once!

[@LauriesPlace999]

🤗yay,so glad you achieved "Puff Perfection"❤

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@1lyqt1]

Another wow. The dress came out so beautiful. I am learning so much from you.

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@tokamadoka]

This came out so cute! I'm doing a Brigerton inspired dress for a challenge next month, and I think I'll try this idea with tulle first. When I do puff sleeves (the super massive ones), I make a fitted sleeve underneath the puff sleeve which helps force the puff. It usually works better with heavier fabrics though.

[@hannahfear5278]

Omg I needed this video 2 weeks ago. I just finished making a very similar dress. I couldn’t figure out the sleeve pattern for the life of me, I spent around 10 hours of maximum brain power to figure it out😂. But as always, love the video! Such a gorgeous dress

[@THISISKACHI]

Oh nooo 🙈🙈🙈 I am sure tho you ended up with a beautiful dress as well 🥰🥰

[@isibaeza2961]

This is so pretty! I really love the dress, and the fabric it’s amazing! Love your work!!

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@anelena9]

this came out so cute!! but i hope we get to see that watercolor fabric in action, it's so beautiful

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰 yes I already have plans 🥰

[@suzanneusry6182]

Really enjoyed this video and the dress is GREAT! 😍

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you! 🥰

[@KokoKouture78]

I was literally on Etsy looking up puff sleeves and your dress popped up…. Then I was like this is cute *entered card info* then purchased it… wondering how and I going to make this and what do I need, scrolled down and not only did you list everything😍 I saw you had a KZbin channel now I’m here and subscribed🥰

[@THISISKACHI]

Comments like yours make me literally so happy! I'm putting so much work into my etsy and youtube and to see someone so appreciative just really shows how much it counts!!

[@milo_official_yt]

i actually just so happen to be trying to make this dress as well

[@themoon938]

I love it 🥰

[@irrelevantmrna3400]

i bought 50 yards of organza so i can make five of these for family n friends 😃 what have i gotten myself into

[@THISISKACHI]

How exciting!!! But yeah a lot of work 😂🥰

[@H3yY00u]

i wanna use the same kind of fabric, did you putt the instructions for the tape on the stitches, the tule puff and lining of the sleeves in your etsy pattern? :)

[@THISISKACHI]

Yeah the Etsy pattern has a pdf with written sewing instructions 👍🏻

[@H3yY00u]

@@THISISKACHI thank you ! does it also include the french seams and how to do it ? :)

[@THISISKACHI]

Yes, I explain that again in the instructions pdf. But it's without seam allowance - you will have to add that yourself but all of that is in the pdf.

[@camillawillumsen2641]

Where did you buy that big cutting mat? 😍

[@jasminesantos8242]

Love it! Can you recommend one of your videos that show how to attach the bodice to the skirt while having a really clean inside? My inside seam are always raw and idk how to make it clean! Thank you

[@THISISKACHI]

You can either overlock the seam or if you want it even cleaner, finish the seam with bias tape. But for a thick seam like that one, I would recommend to only overlock. Of course, lining is also always an option 🥰

[@jasminesantos8242]

@@THISISKACHI thank you so much! I have an overlock machine and never used it! I’ll try it out on my next project

[@slaveNo-4028]

Can you tell me what that word is you used here: 22:21 maybe I'm stupid but it sounded like some kind of french technical term and I wanna know what it is. I'm really curious about all this geometric stuff that's involved in sewing

[@THISISKACHI]

Volant 👍🏻 but that is a curved piece which you would put on a straight line for some volume 👌🏻

[@user-pl4yq1oc1y]

So cute! Is there a reason for not interfacing the full bodice pieces?

[@THISISKACHI]

Yes, I didn't want to put lining and you wouldn't put the interfacing on the skin directly (to my knowledge).

[@user-pl4yq1oc1y]

@@THISISKACHI Yes, thank you! Wouldn't the interfacing tape be on your skin or did you only inface the 1/2inch or whatever of seam allowance?

[@THISISKACHI]

It technically touches the skin, but the touching is not so much the problem as the rubbing against the skin and therefore the glue detaching from the fabric, making everything look bubbly and just not good anymore. I put the interfacing tape on and sewed over it with my French seams so that the tape is secured in place, leaving no room to shift while wearing the dress 👍🏻

[@dianarubio7585]

How many yards of fabric would you recommend to use if I’m using a cotton non see through fabric? Btw just bought your pattern off Etsy!!!

[@mizu8254]

What do you have on your cutting table? I always hate cutting with scissors so i might try the rotary cutter!

[@THISISKACHI]

I definitely encourage you to try a rotary cutter - get a good one though! It makes everything so much easier and faster. Mine is from Falk & Berger. I can recommend that one! 🥰

[@mizu8254]

And do you have something on your table to protect it?

[@RanyaDance]

Contra James, it’s called a “self healing cutting mat” in English I think. You can get them from Amazon or even Aliexpress. They are amazing

[@THISISKACHI]

Oh sorry totally forgot that. Yes, it's a self healing cutting mat 🙈

[@murl6943]

Love it! I missed the 'hi guys' at the beginning, haha. Do you just eyeball your seam allowances when you're cutting and sewing? I got some of that musselin fabric for a dress, can't wait for my pattern to get here so I can start working with it :)

[@THISISKACHI]

Yea, I completely left the intro out this time because the last couple of videos I kept either saying "I'm gonna keep this intro short" or "I'm gonna talk about this more in a sec" and kinda felt it was unnecessary 😂🥰 And yes, I eyeball my seam allowance, I got pretty good at measuring without a ruler because of that 😂🙈

[@eforextra]

AHH THANK YOUU

[@mariave8975]

Where did you buy this fabric?😍😍

[@THISISKACHI]

Stoffe.de This Time as it was quite spontaneous - I usually buy at wholesales as they are way cheaper

[@lilylefebvre7853]

Loving this dress!!! Just wondering at what point did you insert the elastic into the top of the sleeve and how? Did you gather the sleeve to be the length of the elastic first and then sandwich it in between the muslin and the tulle?

[@THISISKACHI]

No, I folded the upper corner and stretched the elastic to the size of the sleeve to sew it in. The elastic then gathers everything nicely 🥰 the tulle I sewed onto the seam allowance of that seam with the elastic so it doesn't show while stretching it to have maximum elasticity 👍🏻

[@janaschlegel6236]

Warum hast du für den Rock so ein Rechteck gemacht und kein Kreis ?

[@alyssasneddon]

Do you think that a complete beginner could make this? I’ve never sewn anything before but I really want to learn

[@jessicachuyen7617]

I love how this turned out! 💖 I tried making the puff dress last year out of cotton fabric and I found it quite difficult to sew the skirt to the bodice as I gathered each of the 3 layers individually thinking it would create more volume. Do you think basting and then gathering all 3 layers would have been better/achieved the same result?

[@THISISKACHI]

Oh how nice!! I think gathering 3 layers at once would have been very difficult, if even possible. I think you did everything correct 👍🏻

[@LavenderMilkshake]

Hey! :) Can you recall from where you bought that fabric? (I hope this question wasn't already answered and I overlooked it) Thanks!

[@satoruchan348]

I just realised that this pattern is out of stock, is it taken down for a renewal version or is the patterns all time limited only?

[@THISISKACHI]

Hi! No, there is no time limit on my patterns but I decided to take this one offline as I am reworking the listing. It will be back up on Sunday! 🥰

[@ReadHeartCreations]

I have a question how make you the different sizes in your pattern

[@THISISKACHI]

The video for that is planned, keep an eye out for it! 🥰

[@canaldamariana2276]

Seria da hora se tivesse legendas em português... Mas mesmo sem legenda, seu video foi tão caprichado, tão explicadinho q deu pra entender tudo mesmo sendo em outra língua!

[@artn9647]

I want to make my own maternity dress I just don't know where to start😭

[@THISISKACHI]

This dress would actually be a good candidate as maternity clothing, wouldn't it?

[@rachel.the.riveter]

I love the "selkie" style, however the square neckline is always a little too wide for me from a religious perspective (modesty wise). Your sleeve explanation changed the game for me and will allow me to finally make a version of this dress that fits my needs. I can't thank you enough.

[@ericadouglas994]

Wish I had a sewing machine😣
