DIY Tie-Up Sleeve, Shirred-Bodice Dress

[@annicerader6021]

I am in love with the fact that you share different ways your beautiful patterns can be used. I just recently made a jacket from the Rosa pattern using your shirt hack. Thank you also for showing us that the shirring does not come out. I have to try this. ❤️

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks lovely, I’m glad you like the pattern hacks! A jacket sounds amazing 😍

I love that uneven shirring! That fabric is beautiful, it was really kind of your viewer to send you some of that! These dress recreations you’re doing at the moment are great. You’ve inspired me to have a crack at shirring.

[@GaliadelaRosa]

So cute! It gives strong spanish baptism gown vibes and i love it!

[@LikeitMakeitDIY]

I love the fact that you recreate a dress just by looking at it! The pattern and color are very close of the original! Thank you it is very inspiring I want to do the same!!😊 Have a lovely week!

[@Luna04567]

The sleeves are the cutest!

[@sharoncrawford835]

Wow! That dress is beautiful!!! You did an excellent job on that dress! It amazes me every time you recreate a garment. Just so you know your dress is just as beautiful if not more! Always enjoy your videos and always learn something! Thank you!

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you soo much! 🧡

[@calanat27]

Adorable dress! I just finished making it by using this tutorial and I am loving it! It's my first time sewing sleeves in a dress. Your instructions are very concise and make the process so much easier! Looking forward to making more dresses using your tutorials.

[@debbiejones7457]

You are amazing, the dress looked exactly like the original. You are so very talented and should be proud of your work.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you, that means a lot 🧡 I’m super proud of how this one turned out!

[@SonoFuoriDalTempo]

The dress turned out wonderful, I think it's one of my favourite from yours so far ❤️

[@laurenhester3586]

Wow, it looks exactly like the original! Amazing job! You make it look so easy and give me so much confidence as a beginning sewer. Please keep making these videos, they are wonderful.

[@thebeesknees3284]

Janelle, Thankyou soo much for sharing your work with us. Lots of respect.

[@franckelatter9829]

Thankyou! I have made the shirred dress from your directions of the four pieces of fabric! I love it! It’s been years since I shirred a dress

[@csifan52]

Oh my gosh this is so very cute!!! What a fantastic dress! I would totally wear the bodice as a top as well! It’s so cute!! I bet it would look fantastic as a top with a tie at the bottom that matches the sleeve ties!

[@paulinegee4083]

absolutely gorgeous .I am building up my confidence a bit at a time to have a go at this .First i need to learn how to put in a zip correctly .Thank you so much for sharing .

[@lisablack4919]

Looks amazing, it’s identical to the original!! Thanks for sharing how you did the shirred bodice, I’ve tried the other method by extending the bodice and cutting out bodice first then shirring and was a massive fail! Totally didnt think of this way!

[@thebebejebus]

Me too! I tried the spreading method, but this looks so much easier and logical!

[@RoseryApparel]

I’m surprised at how well it worked actually! Definitely give this way a try next time 😊 x

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

Well just try again.

[@hoppaheedahoe2581]

Love this dress and really enjoyed the video! I have really enjoyed the last few videos you've made sharing how you made the dresses with your free Steve pattern. Thank you!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you’ve liked them 🧡

[@sweetpea5539]

I plan to try this with my dear Rosa dress pattern but will add understitching along the facings. It make a world of difference 💜

[@lauradavis7633]

I love seeing how versatile your pattern is and how to manage to hack it multiple ways to make so many different makes. Thank you!

[@cyrenesparks7752]

So Gorgeous! I can't wait to try to make it! I love how you do so many videos on how to hack your dress patterns, so when a customer buys a dress from you they are really getting so much more 😍

[@RavenStealstheNight]

I LOVE your choice in fabrics!! Beautiful fabrics and equally beautiful dresses.

[@Godisgreater123]

I gave up on sewing decades ago, but I love your channel! I love all of the clothes and colors of all of the clothes that you make..I absolutely wish that I could have everything that you make!

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks lovely! 🧡

[@sharonbrinders1224]

The shirring turned out beautiful Janelle. Love your dress. Thank you for sharing. Remain blessed xxx

[@helenmcdonald2737]

Hi Janelle. What a great idea to do the shirting first then cut out the bodice piece. The dress has also turned out true to the original and looks great on. You must be looking forward to the weather warming up so you can wear pieces like this. Won’t be too long! 🌸

[@RoseryApparel]

It’s starting to warm up where I live which is very exciting! Planning to wear my handmade dresses all summer long 😍

[@238Tina1]

Love this dress. So cute, I definitely thought all the stitches would unravel when you cut into the fabric!

[@lyndapeterson9948]

Janelle, once again you nailed it. I love the tiny flower pattern on the fabric, I think it is my favourite type of flower pattern. I’ve been experimenting with the fabric from a Kmart 100% cotton tablecloth. The first one I got, didn’t wash up very soft, l think they will be good for some trousers (maybe an autumn project). I now have a recycled cotton striped tablecloth, I would like to make a dress out of this. Hope you have a wonderful week, it’s school holds here in NZ so I am hoping work is a little quieter.

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh love that idea! I might have to pop into Kmart and see what they have 😊 Have a lovely week too x

[@carmengomez-munoz4723]

Simply gorgeous !!! Beautiful fabric !

[@tracymaddox8546]

Beautiful dress!! Looks just like the inspiration dress.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! I’m so happy with it 😄

[@SparkesRec]

Okay, first attempt at making a dress-am I crazy for starting with this one? 😅 I’m almost done with it. I like to learn as I go and I have learned SO many skills with this project. Shirring, making button holes, making my own bias binding, sleeves, pockets, I haven’t done the zipper yet but that will be a new skill too. I think the biggest thing I would say to anyone who wants to try this one is to measure the rectangles of fabric that make up the skirt and see if that matches where you want it to land. I’m almost at the end and realizing that it’s too short on me. Thankfully, I have extra fabric so I can just add another ruffle to the bottom and no one will know the difference. I hope this helps if anyone is reading and considering making it!

[@victoriahall7848]

It turned out so amazing!! So smart to shirr it before cutting! I might need to try that. Beautiful job!!

[@raquelbrookelinder2715]

Now I need to make this as a maxi length!

[@edehalikaya6081]

This is such a beautiful dress. Well done

[@MabruBlack]

This is so cute!!! I’m so making it, it’s perfect for the incoming summer here in Paraguay. also, thanks for the awesome tips, I finally can use elastic thread without destroying my machine tension.

[@tammymarktm]

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you so much! 🧡

[@10xfarmstead85]

The sleeves!!! 😍😍😍 I personally like full length dresses, my butt and thighs are pretty thick so I feel like anything above the knee makes me look fatter. You are absolutely talented!! I now know how to do pockets!!

[@10xfarmstead85]

The dress is adorable on you though!! ❤️

[@carjen121]

Oh my goodness you look gorgeous. Beautiful dress you’re an awesome sewer💕👏🏼👍🏻

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you so much! It’s such a fun dress to wear 😍

[@sobreira-martyndesign3317]

I love your style Ginelle!

[@marionlacey1986]

This is a win win win Janelle! A beautiful creation and a perfect style for the tiny floral print fabric gifted from your kind Swedish friend. So lovely.....however I think your "so much fun trying to figure it out" would probably equate to "so much stress for me"! 🥵💛🥰

[@ClaudioAlessandri]

Awesome work and you are very charming! Congratulations! God bless you!

[@olivers333]

Those sleeves!!! 😍🤩😍🤩

[@Laura-ms9gs]

You’re so underrated I love your videos

[@marathorne6821]

Stunning! Every bit as pretty as the readymade version 😊

[@desdes5622]

I love the fact that you show the versatility of your patterns! It totally adds priority to buying, but also it really helps new sewers like me see how easy it is to alter and use patterns in different ways. As a new sewer it hard to know how far I can take a pattern if that makes sense?

[@xensantiagomarta]

It's very beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial 🥰

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

You did a beautiful job! I love the style. Just found your channel and I have so much fabric and patterns to put to use! Very inspiring. I crochet, and am now turning my skills towards making skirts, sweaters, tops, etc. I love your knitted bobble sweater. I really want to knit, but I'm much better at crochet..lol. thank you for sharing!

[@RexieCastillo]

Wow beautiful dress

[@michaelastenerson9985]

This is TOO CUTE, oh my goodness! I have never sewn my own dress, but I have does some odds and ends sewing projects. I just found your channel and I think I will follow your free dress template from another video of yours to make my first full dress and I hope to work up to this one because it is ADORABLE. Thank you so much for your tutorials!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Good luck! I’m sure you’re going to love making your own dresses 😊🧡

[@olivers333]

That bodice looks AMAZING!!

Wow amazing😍😍 I'm from India🇮🇳 I really like you videos 🌹👌

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you so much! 😊

[@BrightAsAButton]

Such pretty fabric. I love the shirring spacing on the bodice and that the back isn't shirred. This design would look fantastic as a midi or maxi length dress too. I've always adored shirring it's a shame it's just not right for me these days.

[@bridgetwhite5547]

A lovely flouncy dress. Thank you😊💐

[@hnoos8006]

You are amazing🥰, I just bought a new fabric and I am thinking that I’ll be shirring it, but I didn’t now how ! , thank you so much, you make it easy for me 🌹

[@RoseryApparel]

Yay I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@merimor04]

This is also my first ever dress that I made and learned so many skills along the way! It is pretty chalenging but I feel like I learn more quickly this way and am more excited making something I really want:) I didn't read the comments so also warning from me, when you're done with the bodice measure where you want the skirt to end! Mine ended up too long, hitting right on the knees which is not very flattering on me, so I want to shorten it now. It is beautiful on Janelle this way because for her it is over the knees:))

[@nnaso-o]

The dress look so gorgeous. You're amazing 🐥

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you! It’s a new favourite for sure 😍

[@loycemwita8838]

[@tanyamatthew6592]

Love the video. Your version of the dress is way more special than the Rue Stiic one seeing as it's handmade and the fabric has a story! Even though my style is very different from yours, your videos are created in such a way that there skills to learn that you can implement on other styles or garments - like how to hack patterns, how to recreate a dress you like, how to create a ruffle. Thanks once again :) If only you had a collared button down shirt pattern, I'd buy it in a jiffy!

[@doreenbradley3849]

That's so pretty. You're very talented 😉

yeeeees i was looking for this dress 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ive just commented in the other video to ask you about it

[@anhararabi30]

So beautiful I will do it 😍 💖

[@MsSusieHomemaker]

Great dupe!

[@mycharliequinn]

something about the original makes me think it's a better fit for smocking than shirring. my mum had a vintage smocking machine when I was younger. it's a few rollers that you send the fabric through and it folds it up really small then you get needle and thread to sew it in place. you can get real detailed and some really fancy patterns that way. if you look up smocking machines on youtube and see a few in use I recon you'll fall in love. it seems very relevant to your style.

[@mycharliequinn]

alright, I paused the video to type this and now that I've seen the layered shirring a bit more you're obviously right and that is perfect. I should have known better. of course it came out amazing.

[@RoseryApparel]

I’ve wanted to try smocking for the longest time! Thanks for the info, I’ll look into it 😄

[@essbachiller25]

all your videos are soo soo helpful for me as a beginner… just wanted to share with you that i already made 3 dresses with the help of all your tutorials thankyou so much ❤️ i would be really happy if you could make a video on how to make a rosa dress with lining inside cause i have bought some fabrics that are needed of lining inside btw thankyou so much and Godbless

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks so much lovely, that means a lot 🧡 I’ve shared how to line the bodice in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joKsXq2FZ5KLnsk but I’ll have to share a video on how to fully line it soon!

[@FoD1975]

Beautiful! 🥰 I was amazed that the shirring doesn’t unravel when you cut it out! I wonder why it doesn’t?! 🤔 You’re right, it would be very cute as a blouse too. 👍🏻 Deb x

[@christinagracewhite]

It doesn't unravel because it's lopped and held in place by the upper thread. I'm amazed, never seen it done before until today.

[@natashabirt4731]

Love you video Janelle! One thing i dont understand is how you adjust the front and back bodice lengths but they seem to still match up at the side seems!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! You adjust the back and front bodice prices by different lengths as I skipped the bodice front bust darts (due to the fabric being stretchy and not needing them). If you adjust them using the measurements I shared in the video they should match up at the side seams 😊
