How to Make an Off-Shoulder Dress | WITHWENDY

[@withwendy]

New week, new tutorial! This is an off-shoulder dress I made for my LA trip, pretty close resemblance to the original?? Hope you enjoy! If you're new around here, hi!! I have one more tutorial coming soon involving neoprene so please send me your productivity vibes. Don't forget to subscribe :) Love you all!!

[@foxxybrown291]

I love the 2 so far they're just so pretty and girly... Obviously they're dresses 😂😂😂 I think the tank top will be the first one I attempt though. Just because I have some neoprene 😁 xx

[@cltinturkey]

Love your hairstyle and beautiful natural dark hair. Gorgeous! You're wonderfully creative and make complex designs understandable. My grandmother used to study elegant dresses, then go home and cut a pattern out of newspaper and recreate.

[@Mrs_Chiques]

I've just finished making one of these; your instructions were spot on and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing x

[@Danielle]

I'm definitely going to pull an all-nighter making this dress as well because I'm going to California next week for my birthday, but I have several exams to study for :')

[@Danielle]

I have some questions. What size is the dress that you made for yourself? And how can I alter the width of the pattern piece for the skirt so that it's gathered with some fullness but not too much. I feel like 60" is a bit too much for my small frame. What I'm asking is how many inches do you recommend I add to my waist measurement (same for the shoulder ruffles) to achieve the perfect amount of gather for the skirt? :) I hope I explained myself clearly enough. Thank you!

[@withwendy]

+Danielle G Hi! Yes totally, if you want it to be less ruffled go for 1.75x the waist instead of 2x. Since my waist is roughly 30" and the skirt width was roughly 60" that was a 2x ruffle. You can keep cutting it down from there bit by bit if it's still too gathered, just be careful not to go too small because then it wont have the fluffy shape anymore. I'm cheering you on through your exams!!!

[@NellaAlexandra101]

+Danielle G WOHOO MY BAES TALKING! Btw Danielle, i didn't understand how to make your black turtleneck dress so i bought an exactly same looking from eBay and i'm loving it!!! Thanks for making that video

[@Danielle]

Nella Alexandra hi hi hi is is because I didn't explain myself clearly enough? D; I'm glad you found the dress! Turtleneck dresses are so cute haha

[@Fancynancytv]

I always love the outdoor shots of you wearing the pieces :)

[@bree7771]

I'm so glad yours going to teach more than just diys now. you are so talented

[@wafawafa1966]

Omg I have been running around for like 30 minutes trying to find someone who is actually direct and quick with the instructions but all of them were too slow and made no sense basically I love you and I am now subscribed😂😁

[@SPACEPATROLELENA]

The dress is amazing and so is your editing style

[@santiagomorandin2484]

In love w this dress! and the photoshoot

[@Its.Jessica.]

[@withwendy]

+21NPO5 thank you for your patience!

[@Theskybluerose]

how'd I only find you now?? Such talent! thank you for sharing this ! Cant wait for more tutorials!

[@thecleanerversion7122]

You are so inspiring to watch, I love watching your videos and I love your spirit. thanks for sharing this beautiful dress tutorial Wendy!

[@sonjastott9298]

U give measurements on ur blog but what size dress would that be making and how could I change it to fit my measurements?

[@sel.9552]

Omg. I just discovered you. I love your channel. You explain everything so clearly and got a lot of different video's. Keep up the good work!

[@Jem-ry6jl]

i also made that dress for my 2 daughters and everyone who sees it whas so amazed. that for this video i have realised i could also make nice clothes for my kids.

[@cathykang6820]

yes!! I really wanted to relearn the basics of sewing!! I really love your channel!! big thumbs up :D

[@rauofrauofi5700]

اوکه

[@aixinyap2487]

Hi Wendy! Loving all the new pieces that you have showed us so far. It would be great if you could you do a video on choosing fabric and type of interfacing for clothe making! As all the websites I have been to cannot accurately show the type of fabric used as there is very limited visual examples. Thanks a lot!!! Fan from +65 =D

[@gailsstation]

Love it Wendy! You are gorgeous and love doing the projects along with you 😊

[@steve1333]

omfg. I can't even make these for myself nor can I sew but your videos are amazing! Room tour?! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING ON YOUR NAILS OMFG

[@jbieberxoxolove]

absolutely love this! how would you make the top part so that its more covered in the back? im not really too fond of showing the back :P

[@withwendy]

+connie ren If you add a piece that looks similar to the front on the back, you would just sew it along the sides of the body and the diagonals would leave arm holes, May take a bit of adjusting to get the armholes the right size but that would cover up the back.

[@jbieberxoxolove]

+withwendy thank you so much, definitely want to try this c:

[@v4lentinaaaaa]

+withwendy I was about to ask the same thing... thanks!!

[@chloe.sewingcreations9695]

Love the dress, love the look !! And love what you do !! :D

[@claudia-xh7cl]

I love all of your tutorials! You are a very talented designer! 👗 Ps I like your hair💇🏻

[@LivingLifeVividly]

Wendy could you do a DIY on the henley-style top you are wearing in this video? I would make one in several colors!

[@danidraper7061]

hey love this vid but i was wondering if i could make a crop top from the top half of the dress if you know what i mean- like an off the shoulder crop top. Do you think it would work?? :p

[@Arabella-s7h]

Amazing! Much Appreciate you sharing this with us!

[@lcyoung2977]

how would this be modified for a larger body type? love your style!

Love the dress, it's beautiful! Also, editing on point as usual! c:

[@nikkinicole9352]

not sure if you were rushing because you were making daily videos, but you would definitely not be able to follow this video if you are new to sewing

[@renidere]

nikki Nicole well, when you're new to sewing, I don't think you might be trying to see this project first haha. Even with thorough instructions, a newbie still might be confused, or at least if you're in your first month or so.

[@rachelbehik3295]

I actually like your dress better than the original it looks cooler

[@britney493]

I just finished the ruffle piece and it's been 2 hours lol. I'm a beginner but I'm determined to finish making this dress 😁

[@britney493]

Fedora Turtle I love it but I just made it as a top an not the entire dress

[@yostralienne3123]

So curious to see the pic!!!

[@anaisb.9131]

Hey wendy! I love all your turorials , and I would like to do this dress too. Do you think fabric, that you can stretch, will work out too? Thank you❤️

[@auravanessa]

I love your hair dark!

[@alejandranavarro4604]

I love that dress 😍

[@TonOfLau]

Hi Wendy! I LOVE your editing, tutorials and the detailed blog. Totally helps although I do have a question, when attaching the frill to the body piece, should I be stretching the frill just a tad to accommodate the body piece? I am so excited to see how my dress turns out! Can't want to share with you!

[@sofiagranados6315]

You are so talented totally admire you wow

[@TeaGardens]

Love the dress and your videos!! Can you include photos or longer video sections of the finished outfit next time? It’s hard to see the design and details when I pause the video :) keep up the good work!

[@santiagomorandin2484]

Wendy i loved your black shirt in the video! please make a tutorial to make it :D

[@katinabailey150]

how you make that shirt you have on i would like to make one i just love it

[@halleyfebruary4331]

Hi, I absolutely love this tutorial. I just wanted to know if this dress would fit a size 8?

[@withwendy]

+Halley February Of course! The two pieces you'll have to adjust is the waistband (make sure it is your waist plus another inch) and the body piece (make sure it covers you from armpit to armpit).

[@debbievidal9536]

I love your videos. I'd like to know how you calculate the size if your pattern pieces. what size are you? how do I make the pieces my size? ....I'm much bigger! Thank you x

[@withwendy]

+Debbie Vidal I always model it off of clothes I already own! Pattern pieces just need to align with existing clothes, with an extra half inch on the edges that you will be sewing on. If you're scared to cut things too small, go on the generous side since it's always easier to downsize than upsize.

[@cquiyahssewincloset]

I want to know how to get my sewing room as neat as yours...

[@anfalk4545]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to make a swing dress

[@digitalmud69]

How would I turn this into a off the shoulder shirt? Love your videos!

[@sophiaerskine5457]

Do we have to put interfacing in or can we not add it?

[@alaskacosplay]

Can you add sleeves to the off shoulder part?

[@Lilac3_]

Yess another video !😊😁

[@paolatorres7234]

I love your videos! What type of sewing machine you use?

[@vanessatodd3306]

How many yards of fabric would you recommend purchasing to complete this?!

[@latishamarcum9317]

I've been looking for some stripped linen fabric for a few weeks now & I can't find it anywhere!! Where did you find yours?

[@smkeith95]

Your dress looks better!

[@chelseagamble9195]

I wish I could make this!

[@lifeasitis3324]

you're adorable, always fun watching you

[@lilo5010]

Hey Wendy! where do you get your fabrics? They are always so cute, I can never find anything remotely cute at the local fabric / craft shop

[@alyssadonnelly9526]

Can you add a back or will that ruin it??

[@kaylaa7892]

i love the style...the instructions was too fast, would be difficult for a newbie to get...

[@tarepanday]

Hi Wendy! Not sure if you have mentioned this in a previous video or not.. but where is that red bag from? It goes really nice with your stripe dress!

[@withwendy]

Hi! It's an Auxiliary bag from Aritzia, I think they have a bunch of colours but the red was on sale earlier this year :)

[@sabrinaloehwing1824]

I would love to make that dress it is beautiful. What are the exact measurements for the pattern of dress? I see that you included the fabric yard measurements but not the actual patterns.

[@withwendy]

+Sabrina Mendez All of the pieces are rectangular so just needed length and width specifications in my blog post (in the description), except for the body piece. For that I updated the blog just now to include the width at the top since before I only had the width at the bottom. Hope that helps!

[@charleeeeeeeee]

I'm new to clothing construction and I was just wondering what type of fabric you used for this dress?

[@withwendy]

+Charlee hi! This was linen fabric, breathable for hotter days :)

[@steffydiego3889]

I love it! You're re awesome!!! Blessings from Mexico!

[@chantellepalmer1234]

super cute!

[@cassaundrastjean633]

I want to do this dress in lace and longer could you help me?

[@charleyandsarah]

Adorable dress :-)

[@LovelyLadia]

love this lady & channel

[@moreeguzman8844]

hermoso 💚💚😍😍 nice dress😍😍💚💚

[@theStarterfly]

Wendy, you are so energetic ♥ and you make me wanna make my own clothes!! :D

[@withwendy]

+Stella Ma Do it!! I support you!! :)

[@theStarterfly]

Thank you soooo much!! xx and cant wait for your new tutorial!! hehe

[@deelite4955]

How about a tutorial on this shirt that you're wearing here? That would be nice!

[@julicooli2730]

You could do a totorial where you upcicle thrift shop clothes

[@Lvirgil35]

What size dress does the dimensions on your website make?

[@withwendy]

+Lanetta Virgil I'm typically a size 6, fluctuating between a small and medium. If you need to modify up or down, the most important pieces to change the width on would be the body piece and the waistband. Make sure the body piece is 6 inches shorter than your waist measurement, and make sure the waistband is an extra inch on your waist measurement.

[@Lvirgil35]

+withwendy thanks a lot!! I am going to Vegas in a couple of weeks and this dress will be in my suitcase!!

[@withwendy]

Show me pictures when you're done, that sounds so fun!!

[@resinatuakeurota8411]

Could you just use some of these steps to make a DIY off shoulder top ?

[@MissLouisecaramel]

Should totally have added pockets to make it perfect!

[@basedprod99]

im in love with you tbh 😍

[@gorgeousjadaful]

How many yards of fabric did you use?

[@withwendy]

+Jo-Ann Schet For this one just 1.5 yards will be sufficient

[@myawilliams1466]

I want to make this dress, but I want the skirt to be longer how do I adjust it

[@fashionaltitude3441]

Since her measurements were 19"tall x 60" wide, just adjust the 19" to the length you see fit! You'll need more than 1.5 yards of fabric but the extra fabric is totally worth the beauty of this dress longer! :)

[@ft4686]

I'm not comfortable with backless..... How do i make this to a covered back dress???

[@withwendy]

+Fedora Tan YY if you replicate the front shape in the tutorial, cut it in half down the middle and sew it to the back using the same method as the front. When it's zipped up that centre split will be closed, but will be able to open when you unzip to help you in and out of the dress.

[@chelseajames7117]

I love you!!!

[@clisnayraqueiroz9765]

[@LifeLostSoul]

Sunscreen???

[@pedinurse1]

Ive done those all nighters yeah its crazy, feels good , accomplished, but then you say, Did I really have to do that??? lol

[@sydneyd9105]

Can you please do a tutorial on a tiered dress like this one: www.wetseal.com/tiered-babydoll-dress-51380458.html or similar? it looks very easy but it'd be nice to see

[@letsplayjeyy]

Why you only show it from the back?...

[@Dan_The_Dude]

The dress is beautiful, but I must admit I have a little bit of trouble following your tutorials. Maybe it's just cuz the patterns aren't from anywhere (ie bought, traced from existing pieces, etc)?

[@CyanRainn]

I love this soo much but zippers are my mortal enemy

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

I suggest buying a ruffler foot for less than $10 from Amazon

[@ananasbanana4452]

If i were you, i 'd better make darts on the top

[@ItzBigidy]

You're pretty amazing, I really like your persona. When I meet someone like you I'm taking the chance.

[@shalee767]

What about people who are now starting ? I don't understand shit.

[@phuonghai.le83]

Your long hair is better than this style hair, I think so

[@jaysonpadilla9063]

I wish I can understand everything you’re saying but subtitles don’t really work and you speak toooooooo fast. Your blog also makes no sense measurement wise. Please fix this.

[@Beingjujubee]

This is way too fast. :(

[@khouchbun4641]

Your videos is too fast

[@karenweber7898]

Wendy, I love your creativity! one suggestion for a Christian, a bit more modesty!

[@2joshua22]

Bitch who the fuck are you! She can wear whatever the fuck she feels like wearing. Mind your own business nosey ass bitch!

[@Estrellitabonita40]

I have a question about the body piece, what is the length of the diagonal edges?
