from the UGLIEST dress I've ever made to the CUTEST!!!

#fashiondesigner #sewing #sewingpattern

[@deadpoet4034]

This is the proof that beauty is indeed in the eyes of beholder cause that first dress was very cute

[@13lilsykos]

I like the beginning dress better than the finished look, myself. But, ofc, it's whatever she likes that's the most important.

[@Lynx_moon]

Yeah, I liked the first one too.

[@Hidden_In_The_Woods]

Yeah!

[@AbigailHallow]

The first dress was 100% my style and I would wear it anywhere and feel comfortable. I thought it was very pretty. I probably wouldn’t wear the second dress anywhere but a night out with my SO.

[@valenciageode25]

In my experience, the designer of something is going to see the flaws nobody else noticed because the designer knows where all the flaws are and what their vision had been compared to the finished product

Waistline was the way to go! It turned out so cute!! 🤍

If you are struggling read this~ I know I’m young but I would just like to say that, In 7th grade I was in a very dark place. I couldn’t feel much emotion and I HAD thoughts of revenge and other things. But God saved me, He gave me the people in my life and He showed Himself to me. Even in my darkest days He was there with me, He never left me. One day while I was in bed I started to pray with my hand to the sky and I felt something holding my hand. At that very moment I knew it was Him. I repent of all of the sins I have committed. I am ready to begin a new life with Him. There is still time go repent love one another and believe in Christ for He will forgive you❤️ He helped me in hard times and he will help you too:). Just pray! I will pray for you! Pls pin so more people can see!

maybe do one big white bow in the back on your waist!!! it would be so cute

[@lumpchunker5516]

For sure! I'd probably do a full white ribbon belt around the waist with a bow at the back. Or with the bow off the left or right hip for a 60s vibe 😊

[@sc_endlessdreams]

yesss!!

[@Nefelifreya]

​@@lumpchunker5516 THIS WOULD BE SO CUTE

Exactly what i thought!

[@kay19129]

That makes it look even more like a maid dress

Hear me out a big bow on the back waistline

[@bethgordon6749]

This one

[@EtherealRain]

A really big bow with this little black dress will be really cute

[@patriciapeters7604]

Omggg true, paired w a matching big bow in her hair

[@gabrielabatista6016]

That and the small bows on the straps. It'll look adorable.

[@seleneklarelee930]

I like this idea better...

[@jesscolts18]

It honestly kind of reminds me of a wearable maids outfit😄 its cute though!

[@beatriceladouce965]

Definitely! I thought about all the maid cafes in Japan and in anime ahaha

[@CherryCaraTt]

​@@azure52 right.. 😅

[@lecraft14]

You could technically just follow her pattern and stop at the point where she added those details

[@LM.312]

I don’t think they implied that they actually wanna MAKE the dress, the point of the comment is that they appreciate the first version

[@chronicallyfabulous88]

Waistline was definitely the right choice! It gives the dress balance, so it's neither top-heavy (neckline) nor bottom-heavy (hemline). With the lace at the top and the lining peeking out at the hemline, bows at the waistline just complete the look, perfectly 😊💜

[@luciarossi5297]

I think she could do it on the shoulder strap

[@smritigupta1468]

I would buy the earlier one only, it's sleek with simplicity

[@ammarazahid9668]

Bows on the shoulders. Like very large bows with black lining. White bow with a lining of black fabric or pink maybe

[@vanlock9]

Yep they look stunning 💖

[@sassylittleprophet]

Definitely on the shoulders

[@IamcoolBunny369]

Yh and then a bow at the back of the dress on the waistline 😊

The Waistline is super cute, but putting them around the end of the skirt is a good idea too :)

[@Autumn-se2or]

Girl that did not need a makeover either way it looks cute. 🥰

[@natthevilone]

The waistline is literally so perfect. Like I'm so happy you chose that one. 😭

[@KianaBonollo]

aw yay thank you!!

[@RavenSutcliffe]

Reminds me of old school Gothic Lolita 💖

[@w98]

Yeah, like a really cheap one from a taobao reseller 😐

[@elena3941]

it’s way too bare bones and the lace looks like plastic (i have dresses from innocent world and BTSSB, their lace looks heavier and feels softer). Also the bows are pretty tacky and it’s too short 😂

[@RavenSutcliffe]

@@elena3941 it just reminds me, like the very basic inspiration. Nowhere I would say this is actually Lolita lol but it has "what if I toned it down into a day dress" sort of vibe

[@vampirebl4des]

i liked the bows at the bottom

[@guadalupe4784]

Bows and ruffles always make things better✨Love the dress btw🤍

[@daisymanzotti2904]

Omggg it's so cuteee Maybe put tiny bows along the bottom?

[@kimsnothere462]

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but personally, i would have made petticoat pockets either below the ribbons or where the ribbons are and put the ribbons on top. style and functionality at its finest. if you put a little structure, it wouldn't be weighed down too bad by stuff thrown in there

[@purrrrrrrple]

Poketsssss they always make dresses better 🫶🏼

[@purrrrrrrple]

From another seamstress - You could play w the length of the front. Add some ties so you can make it shorter and add some interest. Like 2 on the sides would look soo cute. Chains - like the clasic black chanel dress Embroidery - shiny stones make everything better ✨️ Patches - how awesome is a dress w dragons or snakes or roses or whatever you wanna add Paint! - a quote, a manga panel anythinggg Pearls - they can be put as buttons to add elegance, or all over the place to make it a little more 50s and classy You have a gorgeously crafted canvas, there are so many ways to elevate it!

[@lesterine77]

Wow. That would be tacky, guady, over the top, just yuck. That would be awful. Paint, pearls, shiny things, buttons. Do you understand the concept of too much?

Not boring at all! The dress is perfect for layering. And when you added the details to it, it became 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love the dress either way.

[@Sleipnirseight]

Dude, lately JoAnns looks like a warzone

[@Allthingshamster]

Definitely. I went in the other day looking for minky fabric, and while their minky selection has never been phenomenal (at the location near me), they had even LESS this time to choose from. And don't get me started on the polymer clay selection either, it went from plentiful to practically nothing. Those are really the only things I was searching for, but Joann's is getting more bare.

[@casuallyceltic]

Didn't they file for bankruptcy?

[@HonestMagpie]

Having worked there: A warzone has more stock lmao. They don't give the workers enough hours to stock anything. :') So every JoAnnes looks like trash.

[@user-sortaopinionated]

😂😂😂 it does!

[@user-sortaopinionated]

@@HonestMagpiethat’s extremely unfortunate… ☹️ I’ve noticed that a lot of stores especially the craft stores are like that. I worked at a few different retail stores growing up and while I was in college and it’s almost criminal how employees are underpaid. 😢

[@Whatsername4224]

No bows is my favorite.

[@gabbygalvez6367]

Lol I loved the basic dress too! But I also love the final product

[@shay1330]

No bows was better, you can always pin bows on if you want but the plain black was more versatile

[@MaskedReviews]

Cute, but feels like a simplified french/anime maid cosplay, so the bows may be a bit much

[@nikig7674]

It's honestly so pretty!! I have a feeling that the bows would look good on the bottom of the dress instead of the waist line, but it looks great either way. Amazing job! >⁠.⁠

[@dovie2blue]

This is adorable. Reminds me of a little black dress I found at a thrift store years ago...all I did was split one of the side seams and that little $3 investment was the sexiest dress ever

[@user-hm3hf6pc8s]

I mean, I honestly wouldn’t be mad. If you had more of that white trim and put that white trim on the waist line you can still put the bows on the waistline, and put the two bows in the back of the dress on the straps

[@eensanom]

The dress was gorgeous in the beginning. It’s giving maid now 👺

[@lani458]

Fr but still beautiful 😅

[@justmika6964]

That is finny cause i thought it was turning into a maid dress once she put the ribbon up top like that. Then it turned out different then i thought.

[@SuniSmiles]

but... it's just black with white frills??? istg, yall need to get your minds out of the gutter man

[@imechko_familia]

Same thoughts 😭 I want something like first dress now

[@loraserafimova7750]

i think the first placement of the bows (one on waist, one lower) is so cute!! even if you keep it the way it is its so adorable

[@seongi546]

The ribbon on the waistline is super cute! ❤ It'll be more functional if you adds pocket and replace the ribbon on the pocket, on the same place.

[@SparkieGoth]

I would have loved this frock in its original state, actually. However, your alterations give it a bit of panache and really take it up a notch! Well done! x

[@KatieCottingham]

A simple ribbon at the waistline would give it more definition and breakup the solid black. That keeps the eye moving and it helps bring attention to the bodice detail more.

[@lumpchunker5516]

I agree, but with the V-shaped waistline she used, a ribbon belt wouldn't work here

[@susie6235]

Its a very beautiful black dress... I love the Bows in the Bottom... Great Work!

[@Rin-o-]

I absolutely LOVE it!! Though the first was beautiful, I love the finished so much more!! Having white accents + the bows adds an even ratio of white and black verses just a small amount on the end. And the bows are so cute!! The material you used helps it go with the rest really well

[@DiogoChris]

I love it🖤🤍... But without the bows

[@ShinyHunterOctavia]

Both are really cute! I personally prefer the first one, but i have a weird thing for plain black dresses lol

[@BreezyCatUwU]

That’s such a cute design! I love it! :D

[@madeleinebrandenburg401]

It reminds me of old school jsks!

[@XxMCRroxnonstopxX]

I personally liked it better before but I'm not a lace and bows kinda gal so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chandrab1313]

French maid

[@marieanne2680]

all it needs is a frilly little apron

[@geishavampiresa]

Just a idea: Gather a bit like in the w shape under the bow, it will look like the bow is holding the gathering, also use some of the trim around the bows to make them better and match more of the items used on the dress.

[@AIU55]

Its adorableee!!!

[@liviiblahblah4359]

A big white bow with a matching white lace headband would really put the outfit together. Maybe some white gloves too for that vintage vibe!

[@ChaiLatte64]

So glad you changed the lenght. It turned out so cute ❤❤

[@HollyDanielson-o6r]

You should try adding the white trim to the lining at the bottom of the skirt, I think it would make it all come together, I also love where you placed the bows it’s so cute!

[@EmpowermentUnleashed]

Maybe a waistline corset in lace would help spicy up a little

[@shaylamiller2732]

I feel like the bows would be so cute with pockets under them 😍

[@yejiipookiewookie]

that’s beautiful, it would look adorable if the bows were pink but still beautiful

[@sippycuppe]

I think the white underlay should have some of the lace trim too to make it more cohesive but its definitely super cute already!!

[@Seungcityy]

Ooh nice very cute! Although, my opinion I think it would look better if the bows were light pink makes it look more cute

[@kellyb2608]

Super cute!!! I like where you chose to put the bows.

[@posarmeklen]

Gorgeous!! I'd wear that all the time ☺️

[@ephemeraIl]

its really cute i think this is such a good piece for a layered outfit

[@liizzset]

Love the original dress. I am a simple person whenever it comes to specific designs. Love the new design though. But for me, I would have maybe a white ribbon sash around the waistline would be my thing. And then the ribbons on the side. Or one in the middle. A white rose on one of the sleeves. But more like a clip on. Or a small white rose in the middle of the sash for the waistline. And the two ribbons on the side like this design. I tend to like both roses and ribbons.

[@dayzedandconfuzed]

i think the waistline is the perfect bow placement !!

[@durhambenavides6926]

Perfect triology tour outfit. It’s so cute.

[@karinalya-9219]

It's so good I prefer it without the ribbons

[@saara7710]

OH MY GOSH THEY ARE ADORABLE!! 100% WOULD WEAR THEM ❤

[@RiennaLepe]

I think the bows on the bottom are adorable! I think it might also be cute with a big white bow in the back(possibly as a white belt tied into the bow)

[@cinnamonroll96]

I just love this silhouette and honestly the first dress was super cute even without the mods but I do love the white thing you added in the collar area (I forgot the English word 😂) 😍😍

[@PrettyTT412]

This with the coachtopia Ergo bag would be soo cute

[@Avie-A]

Bows at the bottom was so cute!! Edit: you could add some kind of ribbon or something to add a pop of white to the middle

[@funkyfreshfella1041]

I'm not a big fan of the two bows but I saw people suggesting a big bow in the back and I think that'd look super cute!! but as it is the dress looks stunning already!🎉

[@khairunxnisa]

I like the idea of two little bows above the chest with an added large bow on the back waistline!! ❤

[@lunanorvell5770]

Waistline was super cute, would also be really cute to have them at the top of the dress, with something else around the waistline like maybe some lace and smaller lace bows?

[@rbeins1655]

You should put a lace trim on the under lining it would be so cute!❤😮

[@julieq3910]

Friggin adorable!

[@victoriah.2083]

Put the bows where you want to draw your eye. Smaller bust, delicate shoulder line, then bows at straps at bodice junction. Smaller waist, then place there. Taller, longer frame with banging legs, then hemline. I think I'd like to see what bows at your back waistline looks like. It might be too much, but some eyelet embroidered lace trim for white slip/petticoat. Maybe in navy?? But it will add $$$.

[@LaurenLee-u9s]

I think putting a small droopy bow a little below the neckline would be rlly cute

[@rebeccachapman3707]

I have an idea: What about tying them on the tops of your shoulders and then a white sash around the waist with a black bow on one side of the sash, at a slight tilted angle.

[@Air.Roblox]

Omgggg I LOVEEE the bows u madeeee!!!

[@Stardust3510]

I like the waste, but me personally would only do one bow in the middle of the waste, that or at the straps like you had it, but it’s your dress so you do what you oh r heart desires! ❤
