Such a cute dress Marie, very inspired to make this pattern, just as this one turned out... it looks so lovely on you... fitted in all the places needed... can't wait to start... I love your videos ... thank you , for all the dedication towards these videos ... can't wait for the next...

Thank you so much 😊

The dress is so fantastic! Thank you for sharing. 😊

Your dress really suits you, rooster approved! 😀 The colour and button choice perfect 👌

I really enjoy watching your videos they inspire me to start sewing clothes again. Thanks!

The dress looks AWESOME on you!

Thank you for posting this very interesting project...the back view is especially lovely.

So beautiful! Looks great on you! Thank you for this sew along!!

[@MMMM-ns2tg]

you are a wonderful teacher! thank you so much!

[@brendajefferson5984]

Marie, this dress is just gorgeous! I do love the lining and boning which gives more structure. This dress looks very high-end and the fit is great. The decision to forego the top buttons is a great idea too. I love this dress. When I’m able to sew again after 5 months, this dress is at the top of my list. Thank you for sharing and I saved this tutorial😊❤🪡🧵👗

Thank you! So long without sewing!

[@brendajefferson5984]

@@mybucoliclife Yeah more like 7 months, health issues but on the mend.

[@soyajoya1494]

The dreas fits you very very well! The alteration worked really well. And the lining and boning were a really good idea!

[@grandymommy4531]

I love it. Leaving off the top two buttons was a good choice. And, yes, it does look expensive.

[@stellaunger8568]

Love the pattern, fits you well. I enjoy your channel. Thank you

Beautiful, perfect fit, love it!

[@nathalieduran7355]

Thank you for your great and detailed video, your dress looks so polished and the finish is well structured. Your lining and boning improve greatly on the pattern finished dress. There was a lot of strain and puckering on the back views photos. Maybe it didn't fit the lovely model perfectly but i think it's also the finish Simplicity used. I have ordered this pattern from the US as it's not yet available in France...(probably won't be for another 2 or 3 months!). I've been travelling in the far east this last winter and bought fabrics, including a funky Japanese white shirting cotton with a black and pink cats eyes glasses print and a cotton seersucker voile for the sleeves of the dress. I'm going to follow you and put in lining and boning .

[@mybucoliclife]

That fabric should be fabulous on this dress! If love to see it when you're done 😁

[@normacooper6377]

Your dress looks great! I see what you mean about the boning adding structure to the bodice. The lining was a good idea, too. Thanks for sharing your project & your thoughts.

[@junewebber2107]

Looks very lovely Marie.

[@kathiebeauchamp6905]

😊 I love Friday. Your dress came out beautifully. It’s very flattering. Great job. As usual.

[@mrslilmama1]

you like so beautiful in that dress it fits you so well. the lining choice and the boning choice was an excellent choice.

[@zenling7043]

I love how you explain everything step by step. I have this pattern. I will try to sew it following your steps. The new thing I learned for you is that I have to “serge” every piece of the cut pattern. For some reason I always do it later. And I see it is better to have them finished for a cleaner adjustment and finishing. The interior looks better. Love it. ❤ Respect the adjustment you made to the bust area I will see it again in case I will need it. In my case i will want a little room in my dress because I want to use it with a little tshirt eith the sraight type version. Later I will try the first version because it looks interesting. ❤ Thank you for your teaching! ❤😊

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you!

[@Kera.S.]

OMGOSH I LOVE THIS DRESS! It looks so vintage especially with the polka-dotish fabric. The boning looks so good too. It's very flattering on you!! 🤗

[@mybucoliclife]

Thanks! It feels vintage too ☺️☺️

[@dianemontavon5670]

I love your new cute machine. The hearts and paint job is lovely. The reason I love your videos are the details you put in. Marking the lines for the pleats and drawing lines to make it easier to fold correctly. Doing boning on the dress top, I've never done that before, but you show us it's not that hard. I love the hints about the stitch witchery. Great stuff Love the dress, looks great on you.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thanks Diane!!!

[@elizabethray3589]

Loved this dress. You really suit it. I’m just about to order the pattern so I can make the halter neck for my daughter.

[@andreawalker2535]

You look very pretty in this dress. The construction is beautiful. Your filming of the process was thorough very helpful. Thanks!

[@bharris5732]

Great tutorial! So many helpful tips about using boning and the tape. I caught that the pattern instructions were wrong on which side to stay stitch the collar and enjoyed watching you figure that out! ❤. My favorite tool is the seam ripper. I am 80 and have been sewing on and off since I was 9. Returned to the craft after being disgusted with the ready made offerings that seem to be made for anyone but me. Still learning and loving it. Thank you.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thanks, I had a feeling something was off... It just took a while for it to hit. Needed more coffee 😁

[@tennesseetexanhousewife5277]

I love this dress! I love the way it fits you so perfectly. Thank you so much for showing us all the steps. I have a large cup size. Seeing how you alter the pattern for a lower apex and larger cup is an amazing gift!! Thank you!

[@SewTexas]

Definitely a winner, looks great!

[@BetseyClaire]

I really love the way you do your videos. It helps me so much to see how you approach a project, even if I am not working on the same particular pattern as you are. Although now I want to be working on this pattern!

[@janicekenter9221]

I just love that dress! It is so pretty on you, and fits perfectly!

[@annstuck78]

Like the fit. It really looks good on you. The boning was a great idea! The stitch Witchery use was very helpful. I just started watching your channel and have learned a lot! Thank you!

[@nessbolton]

I’ve bought this pattern in the last few days and plan to make a dress for summer so great to have an example to follow, I must admit I won’t be working with a pattern because I struggle with not being happy about matching patterns with so many seams, it tends to drive me insane to the point I don’t wear the finished garment. Thank you for this tutorial x

[@sallyadams3981]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!! It was a marathon, but a fantastic result. You have really made a worthwhile flattering garment, which will not date either. Best wishes Sally ❤️

[@marathorne6821]

It fits perfectly and looks fabulous, Marie! 😍 Well worth the effort of the lining and boning.

[@barbaraharsch3048]

Great job Marie... Loved the dress but I personally think white buttons would be better.

Cool! I am making a corset style strapless top for my daughter and trying to decide how to "tip" the boning. I never knew about First Aid tape. Thanks.

[@KlingonPrincess]

Hello! And Merry Christmas! I just finished this dress. It took three weeks! (By contrast, McCalls 8192 took two days.) I must have watched your video 30 times, bit by bit as I sewed along at the end. I'm so grateful for all your advice and tips. I'd never sewn princess seams so did a mockup of the bodice choosing the bust that best fit. I had to adjust for my, ahem, mature belly but it all worked out well. I didn't mess with the front pieces, just the straight edges of the side front and back bodice and shortened all by two inches. I need to shorten another inch on the bodice for the next make. I think a belt will help so I'll make one in the fashion fabric. I followed all of your instructions except I didn't turn the hem sides at the front edge as it would later be enclosed in the placket. I made covered buttons and placed them as you did, omitting the top two. Your warning of the confusing collar was appreciated. I think I figured out what they meant in the instructions but it was awkwardly written. It was made up in a floral charmeuse, lined in a white non-stretch lining fabric. It came out amazing and I'm so thankful for your thorough sew along as this was my most ambitious make yet. It looks like what Aunt Bea would wear to church, exactly the vibe I was going for. Forever grateful, Gina

[@mybucoliclife]

That sounds amazingly beautiful. If you get a chance to go on my facebook group and post a photo I would love to see it.

Good morning from New Zealand. I just discovered your channel and I'm thrilled to see that you love vintage machines. I have several but the 201 had a special place in my heart. I have a buttonholer but haven't used it on a garment yet but you've given me the confidence to try. Love your dress. Fun and flattering.

[@mybucoliclife]

Welcome fellow201 lover!

[@michellestrickland7613]

I wonder if the collar is listed in errata?

[@lindak8664]

I’ve been waiting for this pattern to become available here in australia. It’s the wrong season here yet. So i’ll live vicariously through your sew along 😊 You’ve done a spectacular job on that, the quality of your dressmaking is very good indeed! I love the red daisy fabric. My singer featherweight says hello to your two ol’ girls 👋🏼

[@dee4174]

Gorgeous dress. I had no idea older machines did one step buttonholes. I had a New Home machine in the 1980s that only did 4 step buttonholes so I assumed it was a fairly recent feature.

[@mybucoliclife]

They are fabulous little devices!

[@sharonhogan935]

The top part looks lovely. Did you think about doing the fabric and lining folds as one? Its great to watch you , you're very patient.

[@mybucoliclife]

That would work too!

[@rtblade4]

Oh my gosh, I really love this dress! I have the pattern but has me scared with the fiddling involved

[@janehammond1322]

I think this is my favourite of your dresses, very flattering and beautifully made as always. My only question is when you sit down how does the boning sit? Does the bodice want to rise up?

[@mybucoliclife]

It actually stays where it should be when I sit. The boned part is relatively short, so that helps. Thanks for watching!!

[@crafteed]

After making this dress...do you think this dress could be made just fine without the boning? I ❤ the look of this dress but I'm not sure if I want to tackle boning. I've been binge watching your videos trying to get back into garment sewing after quilting for almost 2 decades. I'm still trying to mentally tackle a sloper...which I have never made before.

[@mybucoliclife]

I think it would be okay without the boning, but I would definitely line it. I think having it be just a single layer is not enough, in my opinion. I personally don't have a sloper. I gave it several tries over the years, but I found that modifying similar patterns was a lot easier for coming up with what I needed for sizing and options. Good luck to you though 😁

[@sewing-Susan]

Lovely dress. Question: what shape button hole do you use? I never know which one goes with what button. I had to use my button hole gadget last time I made button holes because my fancy machine’s button hole died. I’m glad I had it!

[@mybucoliclife]

Hi! I pretty much use the regular oval button hole unless it is a thick coat like garment with shank buttons, then a keyhole. But of course there are always exceptions 😃

[@jayneterry8701]

Your pink singer machine is so cute! 😊🩷 Did you paint the hearts yourself?

[@mybucoliclife]

I did 😁

[@toniwilson3827]

I would use the top of that dress mix with a mermaid style pattern for the bottom , with a zipper in the back , plus the buttons at the top & none at the bottom of the dress , me , I would which it all the way around , so it would be a more fun dress

[@ZeldaSews]

[@kerryhull2116]

So cute, but a lot of work😳

[@toniwilson3827]

I don't really like the bottom of that dress , I would change it to something else
