Sew Over It Eve Dress :: Pattern Review and Current Collection

[@arlenem6659]

I love all the fabrics you used!

[@Absintheskiss]

Lisa Comfort wore the Eve blouse hack on the dress sewalong. I would love to try that as a wearable toile as it uses less fabric. Thanks for mentioning the sizing, I appear to be out of their range but will give a muslin in a 20 a go now.

[@sandrafrench6125]

Wonderful collection of Eve dresses. Love your choice of fabrics!💜🇦🇺

[@sonya3689]

I love your style so much! I will he purchasing the Eve dress as well. I would love to see a mini tutorial on the changes you made to the dress. Like, how to assemble 4 cuts on the bodice that you mentioned; etc. Thx Sonya

I'm just finishing my first Eve. Late to the party as always! I've made the same changes as you but made bias tape from the fabric. I've made it in a powder chiffon which has been a bit of a pain to sew...my rolled hem foot hates it! I had to do a 2 * 2" FBA to get the bodice to fit properly and added 1/2" length just above the waist... though I may add another 1/2" if (when) I make it again. I did the level hem and took two inches off as I can't wear heels anymore (😢😢😢) so I look a bit frumpy in longer / hi low hems. Love all your versions.

[@wendyb7993]

What a fab collection we’ll done 🤗

[@pattihusk8181]

You really have made this into your own pattern with all your tweaks, etc. I really love the look of the high/low hem too😘! I love your choices of prints for the dresses🥰🥰🥰!!

[@janmiller1850]

The Rachel Eve will always be my favorite ... that color just makes you glow and the fit and flare silhouette is so gorgeous on you. 💚💚💚

[@sandiepandieuk5066]

I truly appreciate you taking the time to create this informative video. I'm a size 36" upper chest and 39" full bust. Being 5 '8", I made size 16and lengthened the bodice by 1". Like you, I found the bodice too big. Thanks to you sharing your findings, I will now size down to a size 12 bodice and grade out to size 14 for the waist and hips (plus lengthen the bodice by 1" ). I think that this will give me a more flatering look. I just love your Eve dresses. Thank you x

[@dianekelsey8910]

I've just had the pattern printed, ready to make my first Eve dress.I need to look at make a FBA before cutting out. Great vlog

[@Pke6853]

Haha You have just convinced me to buy this pattern and just did. love your reviews so honest and precise. Thank you so much Cheers Tricia.

[@deanalovessewn6117]

Hi Siân!! Absolutely fabulous dresses.. All look stunning on you.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵

[@anessaharris9947]

😃 I really need to make one of these when I can get fabric again... I love these dresses so much

[@TaTyTa-b9i-sewing]

They are all beautiful and I have jumped on the wagon and ordered me this pattern. You make them look so easy to make and they are so gorgeous on you. My favorite one of yours, the coral one, I saw that one and my jaw dropped, it's amazing. Love from me, Brenda.

[@lynneozzyblackbeard]

Loving your Eves!! I feel like a light weight because I've only made three, and was wearing one today. And thank you for the mention!! 😃 😃

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Gorgeous dresses, a wrap dress is very pretty, comfortable and suits everybody xxxx

[@jennistevenson796]

They all look lovely, would love to see one made in linen and a demo of how the it goes on, where to fix the straps. Have you thought about lining the bodice. Love flutter sleeves and the long sleeves look great. I would love to know how to lengthen the flutter sleeves by an inch or two. X

[@gabriellemalak7368]

Thank you for sharing your awesome dresses- stunning every one!

[@nedita9475]

Amazing work, they all look so beautiful on you! Would you please share one day how you graded this dress? Thanks for the video! 😍

[@lesleystanford6031]

Loved this vlog, your dresses are all lovely. I keep looking at the pattern it’s now in my basket so will be buying it soon.😍

[@BJ7481]

I love all your beautiful dresses. I purchased the McCalls pattern for the sleeve option, great idea. BJ

[@nevem5010]

These are pure eye candy! 😍 I got half way through a mock-up of the Eve dress and got discouraged, but I've progressed quite a bit in skill since, so it's on my list to try again. I know it's supposed to be on the easier side, but that feeling of defeat means needing a bit more of a run-up to the second attempt! - ✨🐐

[@patricialynch6532]

Beautiful dresses!! ❤️

[@SewDanaSew]

Lovely dresses 😍, didn't you also make that white one for the wedding you went to, or maybe I'm wrong 🤔 ?

[@bellepoupee61]

I love them all!!!! Beautiful on you! TFS. Christine 😻🇨🇦😻

[@maria55558]

Love the coral on you! Would love to see the straight sleeve option!

[@HimeBlackOnyx]

👩🏿‍🎤💖 Very beautiful dresses, as always. You make me want to buy everything you make. Curses 🤣😂

[@d2yodi]

Gorgeous dresses!

[@dauentina]

yay thanks for this! i FINALLY got my machine working again and this is first (or 2nd) up! we have a similar body type (tall, curvyish pear shape) and prefer a little less ease in our tops so i will definitely size down. eventually, i want to make it in a gertie ditsy floral fabric, and maybe if the opera opens up again this year some sort of charmeuse. mood has these beautiful ombre charmeuses...

[@andreabowen11]

Just about to make my second Eve! I didn't think stay tape was important...don't make the same mistake, my neckline is awful!! I love all these fabrics, but LOVE your hot pink shoes, where did you get them? 🥰

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

They were from Office about 15 years ago, I have them in every colour they came in 🤣

[@alisoneichler4257]

So much for the five and done rule 😁

[@angelaloveland4368]

I love the look of the Eve dress and have the pattern, fabric for a muslin, and the fabric for the "real" version. Just have to work up the nerve to try it🤗

[@mnoeliarc]

I love this dress and I’ve got the pattern and fabric for it. I’m going to make the straight skirt and sleeves 🤞I’m pretty sure you’ve made 10 dresses, though. If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure you made a white one that you wore to a wedding. I’m not a stalker😂, I just remember that dress because I remember thinking that I would have dyed it a different colour when you mentioned you were going to give it away ❤️💛❤️😘

[@nimuenorth6295]

This is such a pretty dress and when I finally get around to sewing it up, I’ll definitely use a lot of your adjustments. Just had a thought when you were talking about the straight sleeves - might this work in a draper viscose jersey? The sleeves should be less of an issue that way. ❤️

[@annaanna2794]

I am not the dress type but you made me buy the pattern. Greetings from Berlin

[@dianavoermans]

Love the cobra corsage one 🤩💃

[@lorishaelaine8659]

I love this dress and your modelling skills lol. What size do you cut it now when you make it? Size 10 or size 10 at the top and other sizes at the bottom?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Size 10 bodice, 10 waist and 14 hips 😊

[@StitchedUp]

You know how much I love the Eve, esp now I have the bodice to fit, I don’t understand why the back bodice is cut in 2 pieces though, I’m pretty sure I omitted the CB seam, if I didn’t I will on my,next one xx

[@sewn_by_jan1246]

Stitched Up! Lisa mentions this in her sew along - she says it’s because the centre back is slightly shaped for a nicer fit x

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Like Jan mentioned, it is shaped for a closer fit 😊

[@StitchedUp]

Probably explains why I had so much trouble getting it to fit me then 🤣🤣🤣

[@sewpositivestitches2175]

I'm inspired... Beautiful xx

[@foxeymoore]

Hi Sian all of your Eves are stunning and look like something straight from Net a Porter. Have you shown on any of your videos how you apply the burrito method to the shoulder panels,I can’t get my brain round that? I have only used it on a shirt waister yoke.

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

I have a mini tutorial on the burrito method and I feature a shirt and the eve dress 😊

[@foxeymoore]

Kittenish Behaviour Thank you Sian.😀

[@Apairoffluffysocks]

Al of the dresses are beautiful

[@maureencullen1008]

Don't even out the hems of the eve dresses you've made as they are gorgeous.If you want to try it on another make that's different.Thanks for all your details.How do you attach the binding to the dress edges? When making the long sleeves was there a reason you didn't use the sleeve pattern from the eve dress and slash and spread to get the width.I love that you wear what you love whenever you want to.

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

I attach the bias binding in my usual way (there is a mini tutorial for that). I didn't slash and spread and lengthen the straight Eve sleeve because I'm lazy and that's a lot of work when the 7537 sleeve was already perfect 😉

[@louiselill1528]

I love the Eve dress AND if you love a pattern there is nothing wrong with making as many as we want . Sian is the fabric on the dress you are wearing really deep colours or a bit muted ? i an asking because its one of the prints on my list .

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

It's kind of in-between, definitely more vibrant than the cotton lawn prints but not as vibrant as the polyester prints 😊

[@louiselill1528]

Thank you

[@sewn_by_jan1246]

Thank you, I’ve got the pattern and the fabric on order. I’ve watched Lisa’s sew along which is great but I love the changes you make. I am a bit confused about the neck though 🤔 do you attach the twill tape first then add bias binding on top of that? (I’m obviously a novice! 😂) A little tutorial on that would be great 👍 xx

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

attach the twill tape as per the intsructions. The bias binding is just to give a pretty finish to the edge 😊

[@sewn_by_jan1246]

Kittenish Behaviour thank you x

[@azaleasewing8373]

do you use cotton bias binding? Like the pre-made ones you can purchase? or do you make viscose bias binding yourself to use? I'm always worried about mixing fibers and possible shrinking. Thanks for this video! Eve is one of my absolute favorite patterns!

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Azalea Sewing I use pre-made satin binding 😊

[@azaleasewing8373]

@@KittenishBehaviourSian awesome, thank you!!

[@maureencullen1008]

Brilliant thanks for your help x

[@cemanri]

Didn’t you also make an all white one? I love hoW they fit on you.

[@annbuck8725]

Hi... Did you say after talking about the bias binding that you used a "twill tape " I played it back but must have misheard Thanks

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Ann Buck I do use 1/2” twill tape to stabilise the neckline before I attach the bodice to the skirt 😊

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Do you put a snap in do help keep the top closed? You and I have the same bust size and that’s what I worry about.

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

RachelLynn Creator nope! I’ve never needed to do anything to the neckline

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Thank you! That’s very good to know!!
