SIDE PLEATED DRESS PATTERN TUTORIAL | KIM DAVE

[@KimDave]

Hey guys. Hope you’re all doing well. I’m honestly really excited for this project. I decided to take the much loved slash and spread method to the next level and experiment with it on different parts of garments. In this video, I create side pleats on the side of a simple dress. I tested my patterns using calico to check for errors and it turned out great. I will most likely use a soft woven fabric to make the real dress design but I hope you guys will enjoy this tutorial ☺️

[@precioussobamiwa5881]

Kim Dave Hy. My name is Precious. I wanted to ask if you could mentor me on sewing?

[@christabelchinaza6786]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm loving the slash and spread method.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Thank you Pricilla for sharing this video! I love that you always share your knowledge with the sewing community! You’ve helped me become more confident in my sewing skills and posting my videos on KZbin! I love the self drafted pattern! You’re so creative! Thanks again!

[@KimDave]

Thanks for your kind words. I’m so grateful to know the work I do is appreciated like this ☺️ Here’s to making many more patterns and cool designs 🥂

[@Ghemkeish]

Hi Kim Dave, I recently found your channel and it has been quite helpful in teaching me as I am embarking on a journey to learn to sew. I made this dress (the first ever that I've made thanks to you) and I put a twist on the neckline to make it off the shoulder and one long sleeve and one short sleeve. Thank you very much and continue to stay blessed.

[@Eni2b]

[@kesegolone7191]

Beautiful... can't wait to give it a try :)

[@KimDave]

Yayyyy hope it works well for you 😃

[@samuelgauthier2715]

So stylish!! Are you going to do a facing for the neckline and armhole finishes or are you going to make a full lined dress?

[@KimDave]

It depends, I haven’t still decided if I want to sew the dress design yet. I will most likely add simple short sleeves and facing around the neckline if I do sew the dress.

[@joyciepennie199]

Thank you, job well done.

[@KimDave]

You’re welcome Joycie ☺️

[@shnayashaikh4886]

[@fikilemillicentbaloyi8275]

You have made fashion designing easier

[@kuskusprecious]

Hello..for a bodycon dress with this pattern, can I cut my bodice with my actual measurements if its a stretchy fabric?

[@balazsszilvia1836]

Hi Kim! Fantastic tutorial. I have a question: what do you take into consideration when you draw the curve part? I thought it was a semi-circle, but obviously not. What does it depend on how you draw it? Thanks!

[@TheEmpressCouture]

For the height consideration, Start drawing from a little distance down the underarm point, and end it a little above the hip, so that the curve sits around the waist area. For the width, you can end it somewhere between the centre front and regular dart position.

[@okulajaadesewa5688]

Hi Kim,please what does the green line stand for?

[@enkhamgalanyondondagva9593]

Thank you very much keep up the good work?

[@shantelpeters6537]

Thank you for your tutorials dear its really helping us....but want to ask 👋did you remove the shoulder dart already on your blocks because its now kinda confusing there on the shoulder

[@KimDave]

The bodice block I have doesn't have a shoulder dart. See the tutorial here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJS6enyVqq1oq8U

[@yewandefactor]

Hey Kim, thanks for this🙏 So when making this type of dress, do we ignore the darts of just take it away at the waist?

[@KimDave]

You ignore the front darts and keep the back darts.

[@yewandefactor]

Thank you Kim !!!! I llllloove you

[@13loodyangel]

You are so helpful 🥰🥰

[@princesselinaebi7987]

You are amazing. Thanks.

[@monalisakitchen4439]

Thanks Kim very cool❤❤

[@mudiasifor3596]

Please i do understand d entire process but after getting ur pleats how do you den insert d darts cos without a dart d dress wud probably lack fitting especially for non stretchy materials. Thanks soo much for the video by the way and your bright and cheerful personality brings out the best in this tutorial

[@RachaelO13]

Hi Kim! Thanks for the amazing tutorial. So after you join the back to the pleated front how do you see the darts on the front?

[@KimDave]

I left the front without like that because sewing in the dart on the side with the pleat will ruin the draping on the front of the dress

[@RachaelO13]

Kim Dave thanks for the reply! Was mainly wandering if it will still be fitted but will try this method and let you know how it goes :)

[@rawdaawad2422]

Thank you for making every thing easy 👏👏👏👏👏

[@KimDave]

You’re welcome Riad ☺️

[@dianadivadiamond]

I love the finished product. My only thing is that you'll have to curve the side by the hip a little. But, thanks again for sharing your ideas. Blessings to you my dear.

[@swatimehra8372]

You explain so well ...I had a request can u pls make a session on variation of neckline size front and back with armhole for different body bust size ... For perfect fit.. pls .. I want to know how shoulder slope get differ when front and back neckline are equal size ...

[@yezelachitapa4551]

Oh Priscilla l just love you,thank you for always sharing,

[@Ddress101]

Very beautiful and detailed tutorial. I’m so inspired and will try it out. I have a question, do we ignore the darts as shown in your bodice block?

[@KimDave]

Thanks dear. Yes you’ll ignore the front darts but need the back darts for good fit on the back of the dress

[@fahsri1978]

Thank you very much, this vidio is good for lern to do dress for me. Thank you.

[@peejfashion]

Please make a midi cowl dress. I want to learn how to make a pattern for a cowl look at the skirt part of the dress.

[@KimDave]

I will keep your request in mind for the future

[@omo_alade]

Yes pls do and how it's sown. You are the best!

[@RebeccaBanigo-de3lp]

Can this style be made on an ankara fabric?

[@flowermoonminottaviveros8133]

I love it 😍✨

[@remmybrown6873]

Thanks so much, I love you 👏👏

[@Nubiansmiles]

Hi Kim I love your videos! Being that I'm from the US, we use Inches, is it possible when making your videos you could mention Inches as well please? I get confused when you use CM

[@omo_alade]

I haven't even watched yet but i take my Hats off to you! 😍😍😍

[@KimDave]

Awwww Bless your sweet heart 💕

[@YvesGeorge]

This is the most advanced Slash-and-Spread technique I have ever seen because the whole front piece is involved! hahaha

[@KimDave]

There are actually more complex ones that I don’t even know yet. We learn every day 😃

[@chylovelyn2298]

Hi! Kim. Please, is Velvet going to be good with this style?

[@KimDave]

Yes it will work for woven velvet. Remember to add the back darts for better fit as well as a zip

[@lowsistem9574]

Where do the get these calico i have been hearing of it but i don't know where to buy it. Thanks for sharing.

[@KimDave]

I got mine from my local fabric supply store. You can find them online as well

[@earthangellibra2925]

Question, are the darts removed from the pattern when using this method?

[@omaoriginals]

Love from this side 😍😍😍

[@sebastianacosta4920]

Nice thank u

[@נוגהקופלמן]

what happend to the darts? how they gone and it still fit you perfect?

[@KimDave]

No darts in the front because of the pleats but you’ll need to add back darts for a better fit

[@mirnaorellana2378]
