trying to make a fancy dress in 24 hours (diy evening + prom dress)

[@marikahelminen7670]

I have not watched this video yet, but I fully intend to because I love your sewing videos so much. Just came here now to tell you that I had a baby boy this week and his name is Benson… and it was definitely inspired by your Benson. So there’s a new level of fame, people naming babies after your dog! 😆

[@JennaPhipps]

AGHHHHHH CONGRATS on the baby boy!!! I hope everything went smoothly and your boy is healthy ❤️ I think you just made my life naming your little one “benson” ❤️❤️❤️ brb going to tell everyone I know right now

[@the_hubb7418]

Congratulations 🎊

[@Noraia]

To measure the length, just flip the measuring tape so the "0" is where you want your skirt to end. Now you can easily adjust the length from your waist down 😊

[@JennaPhipps]

You're a genius

[@Noraia]

...sometimes, yes 😉🥰

[@bubble3771]

Ayy I was literally just doing that!!! (I'm making a dress while watching this video haha)

[@irislgb8160]

You have changed my life haha

[@dreamingwithnaf3289]

Mind blown 😂

[@victorialove9104]

Wow! Definitely a 10 out of 10. A couture dress that no one else will have. It looks beautiful on you and you look gorgeous. Now you have a special occasion dress for future events. Love your fabric choice. Hope you had fun at the wedding.

[@xenawamstad1750]

Jenna thats beautiful your money was so well spent!! Love love love your content❤

[@THISISKACHI]

I’ve always wondered how the American creators that I watch always find theses amazing deals on fabrics as it’s SOO expensive to buy fabric in Europe (for me specifically Germany) and I really rekated to you when you showed these prize tags on the bridal fabrics as that’s what I am used to when fabric shopping 🙈 but the fabric you found was STUNNING and the final dress is also a dream 😍 loved the video!!

[@prostheticballerina]

I lived in Germany for almost a decade and recently moved back to Canada (in the same place that this KZbinr lives by the way). Fabric in Germany is just soooo much better! You don’t know how lucky you are! Here, we get almost no European fabrics and when we do, it’s insanely expensive!!! When I visit Germany I try to stock up!

[@7Ninelle]

it's probably because america has cheaper quality fabrics that go along with the better deals.

[@raynetorycallaghan895]

Hi! I’m not from Germany but live here now. Do you have any stores or tips or even keywords to finding good fabric stores in DE?

[@THISISKACHI]

@@raynetorycallaghan895 I like selfmade - if your in the Munich area, I can also recommend L.T.S 👍🏻

[@sywzakat2380]

I knowwwwww I live in Switzerland and fabric is so expensive, and shipping costs so much too 😭

[@karentzn]

The fabric you bought is stunning. Love the lilac lining. You still busy working on your pattern pieces. Cannot wait to see.

[@rednrg2641]

I love how relatable you are. You make me feel more confident being a beginner. Thanks! Dress is fabulous!!! ❤❤❤

[@KraftyKc]

Good job girl. 👏 I think this skill is probably one of my most favorite and I envy anyone whom can make there own clothing. Thank you for sharing this video and your cute humor. 😍

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hahah i love how excited you are about the straps. it's the little things, ya know? beautiful outcome, jenna! keep up the great work

[@HugginsKnits]

Jenna, it's absolutely gorgeous! I am floored by how it came out and your sewing skills!

[@livingbeyondvision4863]

You inspired me...BIG TIME! I bought a brand new sewing machine several several months ago (maybe a year) and it is STILL in the box! I have been knitting mostly. My Mom was a seamstress and avid knitter. She taught me when I was young, but life gets in the way. BUT, I am getting my machine out pronto!!! Thanks.

[@nettiesantos4664]

Jenna I've crocheted forever! My mom taught me. But knitting for get about it. I'm too slow. Thanks to you and inspitating me.... I got a 25$ sewing machine at a flea market today! And it works! So i am following you on your journey and my new one! Have a spectacular day

[@turkeyrosesgarden690]

it turned out a-maz-inggg! i love watching you grow and improve! its very admirable and very ispiring

[@loriplate4241]

Jenna! The dress was fabulous! You have come so far with your sewing skills. You looked amazing in it. Did you end up with much left over fabric?

[@JennaPhipps]

thank you!!! I have a whole yard left of the fabric and scraps 😭

[@loriplate4241]

Maybe just make the top of the dress, top..🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sandragiant777]

@@JennaPhipps Maybe you can make a fancy pair of dress shorts with the rest of the fabric. That would be a nice piece to either wear with the matching top or with a different top if you want to dress it down a bit.

[@timsal0.0]

@@JennaPhipps omg, you should try making a corset top. thats what first came to my mind when i saw that fabric.

[@esc4987]

What a beautiful garden party/going to a wedding dress. It's breathtaking. 😮 😊❤

[@StellaBlundy]

You are so talented! Such an inspiration to me who is still starting sewing, this gives me plenty of ideas. Also sewn a satin dress for a wedding with my sewing teacher and made a hell of an impression, can't wait to start again!

[@gwenprice6635]

jenna ur sewing struggles are so relatable😩 ilysm and this dress is so good omg.

[@madeline0715]

This was so inspiring for me. I want to start sewing my own clothes! You have wonderful taste and amazing talent

[@lindseypalmer5969]

Love that fabric! I miss looking around Fabric land with my Nana. Watching videos like this makes me want to get a sewing machine and learning how to sew.

[@kidbp7698]

I love it...you're very calming to watch...I guess naturally authentic

[@laurame5659]

You can also make straps without turning them inside oute by cutting a piece about 4 times as Wide as you would like them, then folding both sides to the middle of the piece, and then folding it in halve again. Then you can sew along the side with a regular Stich. You do end up with a strap that is 4 layers thick, but especially with very thin fabric it ends up working quite well. The dress looks amazing by the way :)

[@mimipitts3839]

You just get better and better! Nice job girl!♥️♥️♥️🥂🍾🫶🏻🙏👍🤞🏻✌️🥰🥰🥰🫠🪡🧵

[@katalins.murphy2825]

I love how even though you appeared to be on the verge of a mental breakdown pretty much from buying the fabric to the end of the video, you still overcame all of the hurdles and persevered with your project. It turned out beautiful. You did a great job.

[@Kufalk.equestrian]

Wow! What a great job! It's beautiful!

[@maureenbruderuhs1812]

This is my first time watching a video from you and I can literally feel every moment of distress :D spending too much money on fabric, sewing things together the wrong way round :D I love it.

[@cheri6785]

Jenna your dress turned out GORGEOUS! The best part is it’s the only one that exists❣️

[@faye7141]

❌ buying a new dress ✅ just make a dress for something to wear plus content plus viewers so satisfied watching her make one. what a win-win situation, btw I like the dress

[@maryexall]

Hi Jenna, I have made many miles of rouleaux (fine tubes like your straps) used to work for a bridal designer. You can actually get a rouleaux loop Turner. A long thin wire with a fine hook at the end. Always cut on the cross grain of your fabric... Think you worked that out 👌 Congratulations on your beautiful dress for the wedding 💒 XX 💕

[@CianiWhite]

girll you did a 10/10 on both !!!! great job!!!!

[@jackiejoseph2515]

WOW! Honestly this dress would’ve cost so much more if you had purchased it from a store! You got a great deal

[@pixysmith3746]

YAAAY!!! new video!!!! love u jenna and benson

Just found your channel and loving the sewing adventure you had sewing the dress. Like you, I hated seeing thin straps 😵‍💫

hi Jenna, just letting you know to measure the length for your skirt, I would place the "0" side of the tape to where you want the end of your garment to be and whatever number is where your hips are or where you want your garment to start will be your measurement :)

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Beautiful fabric, beautiful dress! But I would have made the slit just a few inches lower. Great job!
