You covered everything I need to know thank you!!! You spoke clearly and you where not boring.... you where fantastic! 👏🏾 Great Job!!

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you Renee! It is very pleasant to read! Happy I could help))

[@maymabzd5747]

Searching I was searching KZbin for the last past hour for a slip silk dress tutorial and finally I found a good one . this one is definitely the best.Thank you so much and you are absolutely gorgeous

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you so much for the compliment!))

[@julialobachova715]

This is made SO nicely and high quality - but also explained very simply. She is clearly an expert :) I wish stores actually made their clothes with that much care, then I would actually be willing to pay the price they ask!

[@melissakemp3348]

I don’t sew but I’m so interested in a slip dress and I also think that to your original point it’s very difficult to get one that fits well on the top and the bottom so having a customize dress is the wayto go! So fun to watch and great results.

[@mariannaark5899]

Thank you so much for going into all this detail, you've saved us from so many troubles and mistakes! (But also for knowing how much to talk and being concise and not boring but interesting). This is amazing!!!

[@makeitfit4634]

It is very heartwarming comment! Thank you!

[@TraciLM]

Thank you! Coincidently, I bought the Camilla pattern a couple of weeks ago. I used the tutorial that came with the pattern and still couldn't figure it out. This video is perfect! Thank you!

Loved the brief omplaint break. Keepin' it real, girl!

[@toffeesuga8169]

Stunning. Using the French seam method has saved me. The inside of my work looks nice and clean. I love your video🌼

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you! I love French seam method. Everything instantly become more high quality))

[@NC1195_]

That color looks beautiful on you. The dress is perfection.

[@makeitfit4634]

That's so kind of you :)

[@andrewcox7097]

Well done . Easy to follow and enjoyable to watch . Just one thing . Dresses made on the cross grain (bias cut) should be hung at least overnight to allow for the fabric to relax . You'll find the hem will be uneven and need re-cutting before you finally sew hem .

[@makeitfit4634]

Yes, I completely agree with you. This is an important point I should mention. Thank you)

[@riekodi5508]

Beautiful! You did a great job. Thanks so much for sharing all the details including the issue with the thread. Very helpful when I start making my own cowl neck slip dress. God bless.

My comment is a little late, however in the US we use an item that is called "wonderWeb" or "thermoWeb" it's usually in the isle that you can find irons. Hope that helps, and loved your video.

[@makeitfit4634]

Hi! I used 1.9-2 meters of fabric. Honestly I do not know how many yards it is. Good luck with your project!

[@NatalieFrancke]

hi, where do i get the pattern

[@annamarkina2246]

Thank You for such a good tutorial. I also bought the same pattern from Grasser and I’m having trouble with printing it. Did you had to cut off frames from printed a4 pages ?

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you) Yes, I had to(( I usually cut two sides and glue this to the paper allowance on the next page. Just check first the size of the checking square on the first page of the pattern. Good luck with your project))

[@ThePatriciaPatrick]

This was really good. I am looking to make this with a velvet fabric.

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you!) I wish you luck with your project. It should look gorgeous! My first (and only) experience with velvet was very bad. But I had a low quality fabric. I'll give it a new try soon))

Hi thanks for the nice tutorial but can u show how to draw the pattern?

Hi! It is possible, but not in the nearest future. Have something planned for the next videos. I used a ready pattern exactly because I didn't want to draw one by myself😅

Ты совершенно права, в России/Украине эти ленты для стабилизации везде продаются. А вот в Германии и в США я их не разу не встречала! Приходится или самой заготавливать или с Этси заказывать.

[@MuirneLocke]

Maybe it's bias tape you're thinking off? Hopefully this helps 🙏

[@makeitfit4634]

Yes, bias tape! Thank you! I found it)) At first it was confusing for me because so many things were called "bias tape" when I was googling. I also find another name "form tape interfacing"

[@deolaadele7622]

Hello, Thank You for the tutorial , however I have a question please . Do you by chance have a tutorial where you drafted this bodice cowl neck pattern from scratch ? Or perhaps explained how ? I look forward to your acknowledgment & response

[@makeitfit4634]

Hello! I really would like to help you with this issue. Unfortunately I do not have any ready tutorial about this and I am not 100% aware of this pattern manipulation because of the 45° warp thread position. I was searching for a decent explanation before buying a ready pattern, but I had no luck(( I wish you luck with this issue!

[@jeanlockmiller9422]

It’s very pretty

[@DoraTutorials]

Thank you for this tutorial. I downloaded the pattern and I hope mine will be as good as yours. Can you tell me just the width of the material, you said length is 1.9m.. Where I'm from we usually have width 1.4 m, and the length we choose when buying😁 So how much would I need?

[@makeitfit4634]

The width of the fabric is 1.4m and the length was(if I remember correctly) 1.9m. Though the length can be different for bigger sizes.

[@poojithanaik6645]

U're dress is absolutely stunning and the very tinny details you have explained. I hoping to take course in fashion designing in very nice college to increase my skills if you know any please help me in few suggestions.

I wish you a lot of fun and good experience with your future course! Unfortunately I can not recommend any college. I did not study fashion design, I only had a basic sewing course in my city.

[@miriamnelson8151]

[@ЮлияАндреева-е7ю]

hello! what allowance did you leave on the sides of the dress?

[@makeitfit4634]

Hi! The seam allowances were 1 cm wide.

[@jadegranillomyers2213]

Hi love i need some tips desperately. I’m wearing a silk dress to a small wedding in two weeks and it has a slip attached under the dress. I have wider hips and a bigger butt than average and the slip makes me have horrible lines and shows through the silk dress. I lifted up the slip to see how the silk dress would look without it and it looks perfect. Is there a possible way I could get it removed, I never wear dresses so I wouldn’t know. 😕😭😞

[@makeitfit4634]

Hi! It is hard to say without seeing how is it attached. I believe there is a way how to do it. Two weeks is enough time to solve your dress problem. If there is a problem only in the hip zone you could shorten the slip under. But again it is hard for me to give any recommendations without seeing it

[@mysewingmadeeasy]

Very detailed.

[@panchalideb8281]

Beautiful ❤️

[@toolaaaa209]

hi! i was just wondering how much seam allowance the pattern already has and how much you added? since the french seam calls for a 1.5 seam allowance. thank you!

[@makeitfit4634]

Hi! The pattern has 1cm seam allowances. I added nothing extra. French seam not necessary calls a 1,5 seam allowance. It can be shorter.

[@toolaaaa209]

@@makeitfit4634 oh okay thanks so much for answering - i just thought because in the beginning you said you added a red line (the adjustments for your perimeters) but if you chose your size, is that necessary? thank you for clearing it up.

[@iransdi6422]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@pristinamape8787]

Hello! I don't have a serger sadly :

[@makeitfit4634]

Hello Pristina! I'm not sure. It can give a thick edge that will be visible through the fabric in the area of breasts. The back facing you can make without serger for sure. There was one technique ( which was described in the instructions). You position your fusible interfacing with non glue side to the right side of the back facing, make a straight stitch close to the edge, flip it over and fuse your interfasing to the wrong side of the back facing. Like this you can have a closed edge. But front facing...try to make at first a rolled hem on a small piece of textile, make it flat with ironing and look if you can see it through the main textile.

[@shereenalngar8810]

Thank you

[@AlysonJackson]

i have some questions: what was the tension numbers that you used to sew w/ this material on your serger? did you do a four-thread serge or a three-thread? great tutorial!!!

[@makeitfit4634]

Thank you Aly! I used a standard tension( 4 ). But it can be different from sewing machine to sewing machine. I was using 4 thread serge. But 3 serge can work good as well )

@@makeitfit4634 you just did 4 across? and okay! i am testing different ones out but it can be hard, esp when serging is newer to me lol
