Oh my goodness! I can’t tell you how much I love your patterns! This was the first dress I’ve ever successfully made. It’s so helpful that you provide videos to assist with purchased patterns! I’ve just downloaded two more and can’t wait to get sewing! The dress came so cute! I also made a matching bandana bib. I wish I could post a picture for you to see. You’re awesome, thank you again!

[@Mellysews]

Congrats on your successful project!

[@Mellysews]

Glad you like it!

[@Sausalillo]

I made this dress for my baby and it is sooo cute. A bit on the smaller side even though she's 14 months and I chose the 12 to 18, but I used pop clips on an extension piece of fabric at the top so the neckline would be lower. Other than that the instructions were super clear and results are amazing! Thanks!❤

[@Mellysews]

Sounds great!

[@lynetterene]

I love the idea of the lining the same as the fabric

[@Mellysews]

Yes, it makes it so you don't notice the lining.

@@Mellysews ok.thank you very much....

[@jaynealcock3332]

Hello I have the pattern but cannot find the skirt measurements. Do the buttons go on the front bodice and the button holes on the back it just says add buttons? Also there isn't a link which you point to in the video for edging ideas. Looks really pretty

[@Mellysews]

The skirt measurements are on the first page of the pattern and I show the buttonholes in the video.

[@afkeyes]

Would you use a walking foot to attach the gathered skirt to the bodice? Is it more helpful to have the gathers facing up or down when you do that step?

[@Mellysews]

I personally wouldn't use a walking foot because I rarely find it necessary to use mine for anything.

[@elizabethclayton4361]

I wish you were do a tutorial on your Fiesta Frock girls dress. These peter pan collars are killing me. Totally need my MellySews help!!

Hi Betsy, thanks! That's not something I have planned at this time.

[@helenweatherby1694]

Lovely.

[@Mellysews]

Thanks!

[@kateirwin1672]

Can you explain why the printed pattern says to cut one on the fold when in the video you have it cut into two pieces? Which should I be doing? Will it not be enough fabric if I only do one folded, should I be cutting it in half to get two pieces? Super confused. Love the dress and can't wait to make it. Thanks for your help.

[@Mellysews]

Because I didn't have enough fabric to cut it in one piece for the video. It doesn't matter whether it's one or two pieces as long as the total circumference is the same.

[@Nattycakesful]

I love this dress, would it be possible to pleat the skirt rather than pull it? If that makes sense ? Thank you x

[@Mellysews]

Yes you could

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Hi Melissa, I enjoyed your video. What size dress is this one in your example and what sizes do you have in the patterns. I have 6 grand children. All under the age of 5. 5 of which are girls. I would love to make this for the little ones which one is 2 months, one is 1 1/2 and 2 are 3 yrs. I have a baby boy that is 3 months and the oldest is almost 6 yrs old. I can't wait to try this one. I loved making the pinafore dress for the oldest one when she was a baby.

I’m going to make this for my little cousin and it doesn’t look too complex, the only confusing thing is how the lining and outside are the same so I can’t tell what you’re sewing. Good video!

Yes, that can be confusing but if you're using the same fabric inside/outside doesn't matter until you attach the skirt.

Also, I tried your criss cross pinafore dress from last week. Totally doable, but didn't fit my chunky 5 month old! Looks like I'll need to size up! Good thing I have a friend having a girl soon, more handmade dresses for her! 😂

Your tutorials are great and so are your patterns I signed up and used the assess code for the dress but only the bodice pieces are there. I’m super disappointed because I’ve watched this video a million times also I need it sized larger . How would I do that ? I love love love your channel your vids are great would love to see your site match your presence on KZbin . Have you ever considered a move to WordPress self hosted ? 316 restored has amazing themes that rest on what is called genesis framework it makes your site mobile responsive . I’m not a sakes person I’m a blogger myself and know how difficult it all can be would love to see your site done in excellence like your videos they’re so helpful I have learned so much .

With the free pattern, the dimensions for the skirt are written on the first page. For full pattern pieces and a full size range, the pattern is available for purchase here: blankslatepatterns.com/collections/patterns/products/raleigh-romper-and-dress My site is self hosted on Wordpress and Genesis and I'm quite happy with it.
