The neckline on this dress and all the tips on adding the lining❤❤❤ Thanks Mimi!

[@MimiGStyleshow]

My pleasure!

[@catherinemark9630]

Thanks for the tutorial. I love working with velvets. I really appreciate the tip of using the power mesh. I need to incorporate that into my sewing.

[@FoxxyStitches]

Dropping gems. Yesssssssssss Thank you so much for explaining how to use power mesh as a lining.❤❤❤

[@MimiGStyleshow]

My pleasure

[@tariarobinson3700]

I'm a beginner. Your video is very educational. I feel like I can do this! Thanks alot

[@joyhoward9211]

I love the sew along. But I especially love the flannel too you are wearing. That is 🔥! Thank for sharing!

[@TraciFlanagan]

OMG! As I’m watching this, FedEx dropped off my pattern! I can’t wait to starting swing along! Excited! ❤❤

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Yay!! Good timing lol

[@sharonbrinders1224]

You look amazing in that colour Mimi. Lovely dress xx

[@lynetterene]

Thank you for sharing this. What a beautiful dress, looks great on you. I like the way you used the mesh 😊

[@kambrallfreeman2818]

Hi! So funny. I just picked up this pattern and some red velvet the other day for a V-Day dress. This will be my first garment using a pattern. I am enjoying your online sewitacademy projects as well. Thank you for this! ❤

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you so much!!

[@kambrallfreeman2818]

A lot of the tip videos you shared mention it’s recommended not to cut velvet on the fold but cut “open”. Do you still cut on the fold? I am still learning and don’t want to mess up this good fabric. Help!

[@curveappeal8180]

My pattern is on the way! Perfect timing-I’m so excited 🎉

[@MimiGStyleshow]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@valorisanders5484]

Beautiful fabric and great dress pattern. Thank you

[@jennifertrevino5688]

Can’t wait to pickup this pattern gorgeous

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you!

[@jacquelinea8224]

I love this!!! I'm going to check your website for breathable knits. I never get what makes a fiber moisture wicking, but it would be the coolest thing to have a square neck moisture wicking bodycon dress!

[@vickipatridge5094]

Beautiful. Love the color.

[@cathyclark5791]

I love your flannel shirt jacket! The purples look great on you. Beautiful pink dress. Makes me wish my waist were smaller and my hips a little bigger. Sigh.

[@growwithray]

This is a beautiful dress. I am so making this in different colors. I love pattern with few pieces too

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you!

[@suzanneboucher5270]

I love watching your videos 😊 unfortunately here in Canada 🇨🇦 we can’t get Simplicity patterns. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@dashicora4849]

Love this pattern...I appreciate you

[@brissyfitz9400]

It's beautiful and easy to make.😍

[@trishp.8903]

Thanks Mimi, my pattern was just delivered. Woo Hoo!

[@ms.d425]

Beautiful..I appreciate you

[@maryatkins1543]

I really enjoy your content.

[@DonnaAskins]

Nice pattern and especially love extending the facing to become almost a lining, for a smooth appearance. Question . . . why did you choose to sew the sleeve closed, then set it into the armhole . . . usually I do this the other way around, first attaching the sleeve head to the dress, then sewing the sleeve closed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

[@puresalvation2009]

Mimi G. Could you please put a handful of videos up on here with tasters of your sewing Academy? I'm saying just do a little course curriculum guide to what all the courses entail as I am intrigued. Can you also do a repair and alterations course in your Academy course line-up? This would be extremely and I mean extremely helpful and beneficial to people. I look forward to your response. Pure.

[@maryrhudy9250]

So, if I wanted to make it sleeveless then can the facing work for the armholes, too? THANK YOU so much for the power mesh idea. That way I won't look like an overstuffed sausage.

[@kimberlybarbour6989]

Yes to the dress

[@phyllisdeans8720]

Thank you for this instructional. The fabric I am using is an active sport type of knit. It has 4-way stretch. Do you think that it could be used as the facing?

[@Cindy-sb5dv]

Clicked links to store. Link is broken!!!

[@viviancovington7813]

Slay!😊

[@sonyasew2]

Thank you

[@mandyfurtado5675]

I love the plaid shirt!!! Is that a pattern of yours?

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Lol no it’s from Free People

[@mandyfurtado5675]

@@MimiGStyleshow lol. Love it either way. The dress is of course so adorable also.

[@charoberts07]

Thank you so much for the video. Will a twin needle work for the hems?

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Yes certainly. I generally use my lightning bolt stitch.

[@lynetterene]

This would be my style too with no zipper

[@zexoticz4360]

Thank you do much

[@tanyaroche9302]

Is this pattern available at stores or online only

[@over50t66]

Nice

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thanks!

[@samiraawadahmed7825]

Is there a pdf pattern as well??

[@gabrielmartinez647]

❤️much love

[@jennifernaburn2022]

Sorry for the dumb question but what does it mean to baste the sleeves?

[@lizleblanc]

Are you still here? It means to make a temporary stitch. You can do this by hand using longer stitches or on the machine by increasing the stitch length...usually to 4 or 5. You do this to hold the seam in place until you do a more permanent stitch later on during the construction.

[@farahreid4920]

Very nice

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thanks!

[@Gandellion]

I was looking at your hand like oh that’s a nice warm sleeve finish but it’s a splint! Oops

[@sudarshangupta3152]

One day I'll sleep forever loving you❤🌹🌹😊
