I love that you're constantly stepping out and trying new things with your sewing. I'm still a beginner with a long way to go before I feel comfortable making a dress like this, but it is inspiring to see experienced sewers who still manage to find so many ways to learn new skills and challenge themselves. Even if you've been sewing for years there's something new you can try that keeps things exciting! Thanks so much !

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you! You could honestly spend your whole life sewing and still not learn everything! I’m still improving each year, It’s such a rewarding craft in that way 😊

[@ArielColmoreWilliams]

This is gorgeous ! I adore the Colour you chose

[@ljshaw8516]

Absolutely a "YOU" dress. Perfect. I love CarlyB as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@sueburton6920]

Love the dress,also love your enthusiasm and excitement for everything you make.

[@elainelear4982]

Definitely a very Janelle dress. Love the pintucks and French seams.

[@EdenFairhaven]

The pintucks make the dress look so classy. Nobody would believe you made it yourself! Better than a bought one!

[@nelchristine]

I really love watching your videos..a fan here from Philippines 🤗

[@christinemccoy5237]

It looks amazing on you, such a wonderful creation. If you make it again, which I hope you do, can you please show how you form the pintucks and a French seam? You make everything very understandable and I would love to see those details. Your view is amazing!

[@fruxstudio]

Wow! Janelle, you did such a lovely job with your dress. The troubleshooting with the side panel worked out so nicely! Also, I absolutely LOVE how you styled your dress! How coincidental that this past week I’ve been envisioning styling one of my Garden Dress makes with a black top underneath. I’m so glad you enjoying your experience with this pattern. Xx Erin

[@RoseryApparel]

You are a pattern wizard Erin!! Thanks for creating such a gorgeous pattern xxx

[@Thesewingnook]

I love sewing and am always so inspired by your videos. I Also appreciate that you are willing to share your mistakes. Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing.😊

[@RebeccaVinyard-h1c]

It is so lovely! You look beautiful in this ❤shade.

[@HollyRoseBeecham]

It's beautiful Janelle, I little technical for me just yet but will definitely have a go one day.

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

Really cute, and well done! Reminds me of the Japanese aesthetic from the Japanese pattern book 6ou bought.

[@hope_lynn]

You faced all those sewing challenges with such grace. It’s refreshing to see because that is definitely one thing I need to work on for sure. When things don’t go smoothly for me, I tend to feel easily defeated. So it was very inspiring to see that you didn’t let those challenges discourage you. You were determined to make it work and made an absolutely beautiful dress. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@RoseryApparel]

I totally get the defeated feeling! Like I said, I did nearly spiral about not having enough fabric. But after sleeping on it I knew I’d be able to make it work somehow 😄

[@sharonbrinders1224]

I echo that it is a Janelle style and super stunning. Well done.

[@teresahannon327]

Beautiful!!

[@AnnTilleyHandmade]

Thank you for not tying off all those pintucks! 😂😂 There’s no way I would’ve done it either lol

[@patriciawilliams3006]

Looks amazing, I would love to have a go at making it.

[@franckelatter9829]

It’s nice to know that someone as experienced as yourself can’t. Still make a boo boo, but we are imperfect , And good on you for getting it to come out all ok!

[@AussieTracy]

Water soluble coloured carbon tracing paper and a tracing wheel would also make marking the pintucks easier. Such a nifti trick to sew basting stitches instead of tying off each row. I also prefer the tie at the back instead of a button loop as a tie is easier to undo yourself. Dress turned out stunning. 🌸🐨🌸

[@char1949]

I love the tuck dress so much. I lol at your comment about the fabric matching your favorite lipstick. I love my lipsticks also and get teased a lot by my northeast friends who wear none.

[@RoseryApparel]

I’d be lost without my lippy 😂

[@janethammond3856]

I get so much enjoyment from watching your channel. This dress really suits you. I love pintucks too. I am really happy to have just received the patterns I purchased from you. They arrived really quickly after only a week and that’s all the way to the UK. Thank you Janelle.

[@themamachar]

The dress is so you. Beautiful work. Thanks.

[@jennywoolliscroft5259]

Absolutely beautiful dress! I can't wait to buy the pattern and fabric to make a blouse!

[@christinabrooks5991]

Wow you look great in your pintuck dress. Great problem solving on route to the final product. X

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤beautiful dress. Very you. Love the color. The view out your window is spectacular!!!

[@argheimrobb]

This dress is absolutely STUNNING!!!! I want to try this pattern, gosh! If you still don't like the back stitch you did, you can hide it with a little triangle of fabric on it. Or, since you wanted to try embroidery, you can try stitching a full triangle with DMC thread of the same colour! 😊

[@marathorne6821]

That dress screams "Janelle" to me! 😁 It's totally you - your colour, your style. I absolutely love the pintucks 😍 Well done for persevering when you found you hadn't got quite enough fabric for the side panels. Your piecing solution worked perfectly 👌 I'm sure you'll reach for this beautiful dress very often 😊

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks Mara! I’m completely in love!! 😍

[@lovepuppy2242]

Peicing is vintage! I peice all the time because i preffer to cut on the bias whenever i can. Your bias binding is exactly how i always cut my bias hahaha. It can be annoying but my clothes lay so nice I dont even care 😊

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Oh my goodness I love Cardi B! I can't wait to see the dress get put together!

[@alexandrawilliams7529]

Love it! Suits you and cleverly done with the side panels. Would love to see it in dark grey with white shirt underneath.

[@franug]

Janelle it turned out so cute!!! I bought the pattern, I'll go fabric shopping as soon as possible to sew the sleeved version 😍 this video for sure will help when I do so!

[@RoseryApparel]

Oh enjoy! It’s such a beautiful pattern 🥰

[@josiehanley9906]

I loved your new dress. I do look forward to seeing what you are going to do every Sunday. ❤

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much for watching Josie 🧡

[@MaryC546]

The dress came out beautiful, you look great in that color!❤

[@clarita294]

Loved the dress since I first saw it online! I’m not a dress person at all and my sisters prefer more non-loose fitting dresses, but I when I first discovered it I knew you’d make a beautiful version of it. The dress kind of looks like you, especially in that colour, or dare I say *your* colour? :) And I have to admit that it’s refreshing to see you making tiny mistakes like the one with the side part of the dress. It always turns out good for me too, but seeing you having the same brain as I have when cutting, it’s making my ego a little happy 😅

[@LulybelleLullaby]

This dress is so special. Well done.

[@cklein907]

I can’t believe no one is commenting on that brilliant stay stitch hack! With the editing it seemed like that saved you loads of time (that may or may not have been true), but I’m certain that saved a lot of energy! For me, nothing quite saps my energy like a tedious step.

[@vernakg]

Brings back memories of pin tucks in a blouse I made to go with my tailored knickers I made for tailoring class. You are correct not to rush the process.

[@amandalayng7204]

I think this style of dress with the side panel as a patchwork peek a boo type statement would be really cool

[@debbiegobbert7411]

This dress is so you, love it cant wait for the next video, I so look forward to them.

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you! That really means a lot 🧡

[@suzannewilman7634]

Such a lovely dress. I can visualize it in so many different patterned fabrics. ❤❤ thanks for doing a sew-a-long.

[@normajones4671]

Oh my goodness Janelle I love love this dress. What an amazing job you have done. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@shamzscrapz]

Very stunning and so very Janelle 😀

[@jellums1208]

I saw this pattern a little while back and thought it was very you so I was so excited for this video! the dress turned out sooo beautiful, those pintucks really are dreamy!

[@EdenFairhaven]

Kudos to you, Janelle! I would have to move into the home for the bewildered if I tried sewing that dress!!it’s a beautiful dress but…😂❤

[@margien1942]

Janelle I think you have perfectly matched that fabric to the pintuck work and your work is sublime. At my age I’d not be cutting such a deep slash at the back and adding a side zip to the sleeveless option or else just having a long zipper at the back neckline but your choices are lovely. Marg in Lake Macquarie.

[@katrinalevin4064]

The process of making this dress was very ingesting. I think I might try this dress too.

[@marciahighsmith4820]

That was a great save on your dress. It is so pretty.

[@macquadj]

If you want to do another project with pintucks, you may wish to invest in a pin tuck foot. With it, there is no need to mark the pin tuck lines or fold the fabric. You draw in the first line, use the foot to pin tuck, then use the grove in the pin tuck foot as a guide for all the remaining pin tucks. I use mine in heirloom sewing projects.

[@RoseryApparel]

I had no idea that was even a thing! Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely have to see if I can get my hands on one of those!!

[@christinesandarsmontgomery3269]

​​​@@RoseryApparelI know Temu is such a controversial site but in my case, I use it as needs must. I have had to buy numerous different sewing feet as I'm currently doing a sewing class at my local sewing store. The class requires us to use different feet while we are learning different techniques and ( as an example ) to buy a single pintuck foot at the sewing store my classes are held at was going to cost me over $80. And it is the only sewing supplies store in our region. I went on Temu and bought the exact same foot for $2.99. And Temu literally has hundreds of different sewing feet! You can buy an entire set of feet (48 or 72 pieces ) for around $50! Just check that they have the right attachments for your particular sewing machine as they can vary. But honestly, they are the same quality and identical to the expensive ones you would buy at a regular sewing supplies store. When I first started my sewing class I bought a walking foot from the store here and it cost me $100. Then someone told me about Temu. Out of curiosity I went on to Temu and bought a walking foot for $12 and it was identical in every way to the one I paid $100 for. A friend of mine used to work in a sewing store in NZ and she said that most of their supplies came from the exact same factories that Temu gets their supplies from! Sorry about the long rant. I just thought you might like to know. Xx

[@MitchyLou1]

It really suits you, beautiful

[@lauriehuber8048]

What a beautiful dress and colour❣️❣️❣️ I’m still at the mind boggling stage of trying to figure out how to make patterns fit for my body shape and size …😩😩😩 If I did that much work only to find that it didn’t fit me would be disastrous but it was lovely to see it come to life for you…absolutely love it❣️🥰 love from 🇨🇦…

[@dirtdogssewcreate]

Such an amazing project I am always excited to see your finishings! It looks adorable on you!

[@jmchau]

the dress turned out so cute, I love pintucks. The color is lovely.

[@happyshopper570]

So glad to see you made this, as I was eyeing this pattern up and was worried about how difficult it looked. Seeing your beautiful version is the kick i need

[@RoseryApparel]

Oh do it! It takes a while to make, but it’s such a rewarding project 😍

[@christinesandarsmontgomery3269]

Gosh, it looks beautiful on you, Janelle! And a great rescue with the side pieces, you would never know it was an error. Ive been lusting after the nepheline dress/blouse which also has pintucks ( on the sleeves, which makes it so interesting and beautiful! Id love to see a tutorial of you doing the nepheline pattern especially as I've been unable to find one by anyone else and I'm such a visual learner. I wish all patterns came with a video tutorial as i find alot of patterns like trying to decifer a foreign language. Thank you so much for all your tutorials, Janelle! I can't tell you how helpful they are for me as a beginner sewist, i hang out for every Sunday for your next video! Its something I always look forward to every week!🥰 Xxx ❤️

[@Nanugale]

So beautiful dress janelle!!! Stunning 🎉❤

[@fairweee8058]

If I don’t have enough fabric but I do if I use cut offs to make enough, I just mimic the panel that’s added to on the other side. That’s way it looks like it was done on purpose. Just like you did. I often miss measure my fabric needs because of grain allowances 😂😊 love this dress❤

[@LRWdesign]

This dress is very YOU. 🥰 Great job.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you!! 🧡🧡

[@StellaCroker-y6w]

Beautiful dress, it looks amazing!

[@mamavibetribe8878]

I've seen an Anthropology shirt that was full of pin tucks I wanted to recreate and your decisions along the way eeally affirmed what I was thinking. Pintuck first and stay stitch mainly.

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

A beautiful detail dress.

[@wolfgangshuman]

gorgeous

[@AliIsihos]

Looks amazing! I love how many pieces you make that you say is you new go to dress! You are always so happy with the outcome it’s very inspiring 👏🏻

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw good! Now that I’m in my 30s I feel like I really know my style and really know the types of clothing I actually like to wear which helps! 😄

[@LuOsorio]

Wow that was a lot of work! it ended up looking very neat and cute though

[@AboveandsoBelowmeldnz6815]

So cool seeing it come together. Awesome 🤩

[@astraspidastra7195]

It's so gorgeous, Janelle! It suits you right down to the ground ❤ I love your problem-solving with the side panels, doing a tie at the neck instead of a button, and so clever to stay-stitch the pintucks rather than the method in the pattern 😊. Loving your new music too! 🎶

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks so much Astra! I looooved making this dress 😍

[@isi-sew]

I was patiently waiting for this video. Thank you Janelle ❤❤❤❤

[@Kokosreismilch]

What a beautiful make and such an inspiring video! Maybe I should give the pattern a try myself. It seems like such a gorgeous dress to wear at any time of the year.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you!! 🧡

[@twinnish]

That dress is so very cute. I love the tiny pintucks. I like making the pintuck textile and then cutting the pattern from it. My dress did not have the tiny fine pintucks but I did feel it was a great challenge. Unfortunately while the end result was good, it was too big and not my style. I’m debating whether to donate or repurpose the fabric into a quilt (leaning that way but I think someone would love the dress). I’m trying to do pintucks in future garments by simply making the textile and cutting out appropriate pattern pieces even if not in the designers plan.

[@LindaSevers]

Frankenstein piecing is VERY historic!

[@patriciaforbes7179]

love the brown check details on the bodice

[@moyralouise7123]

A cute button the same colour as the fabric would help cover the bottom stitching on the back slit, gorgeous dress 😊

[@vikkibendle1341]

Lovely❤

[@mirandarileydesigns]

Piecing fabric is a historic technique used for hundreds of years before wide width fabric became the norm. I think piecing should be "normalized" as a way of conserving fabric, saving money, and creating less waste:)

[@glenelle24]

You could easily modify some of your existing patterns to add pintucking to the bodices 😉

[@annettelundy7426]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! It’s such a gorgeous pattern 😍

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Your dress is very nice, you did a fabulous job, Janelle! I made a couple pie tucked pieces when I was a teenager, many years ago. I remember it was difficult to sew each one perfectly the same as all the others, but I did like the outcome. The only thing I didn’t like was how stiff it made the top of the garment.

[@annamonastyrska4547]

Thank you so muchfor the code! Hopefully I would be able to learn new skills.

[@jilbertb]

You could have used another pattern for the top half sides, that had normal sleeves, rather than add the additional panel. Or just add a smaller gusset. I French seam everything - and I own a serger too! Garment turns out so much nicer! I have an old Vogue pattern for a pin tuck top, I suppose I could fashion a dress from it too?! Yours turned out smashingly!

[@vegemitegirl1971]

I have only pintucked one project. I was 13 and in year 9 sewing class in high school. We had to make a stuffed animal and a piece of clothing for our term projects. Teacher was expecting 2 different projects. I made a chocolate brown teddy bear and put her in a wedding dress, matching bloomers and veil. I also made the bouquet. The mini wedding dress was pintucked. Teacher marked this as 2 separate makes, even though I told her it was 1. Almost 40 years later and I've still not done any more pintucking.

[@LindaSevers]

How did you mark your pintucks to make it easy to get them done evenly? Love your stay-stitching idea!

[@robynrobinson4348]

love the dress, very you. I am an older person and am always astonished at the way younger people cut out patterns. I always use as little fabric as possible so as to have extra wiggle room. Things happen, pieces get lost, you cut wrong, mistakes get made. We all make mistakes.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I’m not sure I understand your meaning. How can you have extra wiggle room with using as little fabric as possible?

[@robynrobinson4348]

@@cynthiafisher9907 if you cut out your pattern but use as little fabric as possible there is generally fabric left over for perhaps cutting some wide bias to use to hem a dress that has turned out not quite as long as you would like or re cut a pattern piece you have cut out wrong or sometimes whole extra garment.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@robynrobinson4348 Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, I agree, I hate wasting anything and I keep small scraps of fabric for other uses. I am older too. We have probably lived through harder times than younger people and understand living without a lot of things. My mother lived through the Great Depression in the US and she told stories of wearing her shoes until they wore through the bottom and they put cardboard in the inside. They had no money to get new shoes. I never had it that bad, but we were pretty poor, we either had hand-me-downs for clothes or we got them at thrift stores. My mom was divorced and had three kids to support on a minimum wage income, so she didn’t have time for sewing much.

[@jaybee4118]

Yes, I’m the same (and, well, middle aged I suppose so not really “young”). I cut everything as conservatively as I can, always with a thought to keeping any scraps as large as possible. So even if I don’t need an emergency piece, I might be able to fit something else into the left overs. Or if I end up giving away my scraps it’ll be as useful as it can be to someone else.

[@dacrayzblaze1]

I've French seamed pockets before. It's kind of awful to do, but worth it

[@dilshaad-23sakg]

Hi. Please could you consider doing an explanatory video on the French seam technique you had to do with this dress. Thus far I've only even come across it mentioned as a technique applied AFTER the garment is functionally complete, and done by hand. Unless anyone can recommend any videos that show machine-stitched French seams, would be most welcome 🌻

[@HH-ip5zc]

Beautiful 🤩 how much fabric did you use?

[@beccaharrison5110]

This make is perfect on you!!! On a previous plans video you were going to make a pair of shorts...have you seen the pattern by Matchy Matchy for shorts? Cute boxer short style with bows...looks like you :)

[@charlotteravenna1864]

This is beautiful as allways ❤ this was an amazing video definitely want to give this ago as I really love this pattern and have been thinking of getting it ,but I have seen allot of photos of peoples makes and I feel for me that the arm holes are too small (I allways feel stuck in clothes with small arm holes) and I was wondering if you think that would be a possible change I could make or not? 🥰

[@RoseryApparel]

If you’re planning on making the sleeveless version, then it will be very easy to make the armholes bigger as the pattern says to trim them anyway and you could easily trim them more than the pattern suggests. It might be a little bit trickier with the sleeved version though as you’ll need to make sure the sleeve pieces still fit properly…

[@charlotteravenna1864]

@@RoseryApparel Thankyou so much for your reply ❤️ yes it was the sleeveless one I would be planning to make so I’m pleased this would be possible , I will definitely be trying it now 😊

[@zelahfines6535]

I love the look of this pattern! I think I’m going to get it. I’m just wondering, are the arm holes a little tight? They kinda look it to me whenever I watch anyone make this pattern. I wonder if I could just cut them larger? I think im just weird about how I like clothes to fit but it looks like maybe it would be restrictive?? But maybe it’s just how it looks. Would love your opinion

[@Hugosnow942]

A flat felled seam wouldve looked cool for the underarm piecing
