The Most MAGICAL Dress I've Ever Made! Cosy Sewing Vlog: The Ella Dress | SEW WITH ME

[@khanitthasitthi577]

When I studied sewing in the school, I was taught to hang the bias skirt for a few days before sewing the hem. This technique makes the skirt is more lively and beautiful.

[@eileenfb1948]

Yes, it allows the bias in the fabric to stretch when it hangs and therefore when you put in the hem you don't end up having to adjust it later.

[@Smilebefine]

Yes 🙌🏻 ❤

[@neocat81]

this is a very good tip. i never would have thought that this would be a thing!

[@olgyone1195]

I definitely do this absolute must

[@nicnevin6385]

This dress really reminds me of medieval garments. The side bodice especially is reminiscent of the gussets in those garment’s construction. Either way it looks lovely. 🥰

[@karynbray1004]

The dress is fabulous! I find with my sewing that the maxi dresses that I sew that get the most compliments are the ones that push me out of my comfort zone and I think “I look ridiculous and I can’t leave the house wearing this”. Wear the dress. You will get attention and compliments but life is too short to not have fun!

[@jessicahornsey4792]

I needed this comment ❤

[@tinao8676]

The dress is gorgeous Janelle, looks amazing on you. So dreamy and floaty and so feminine...... makes me think of something Maid Marian would wear in a Robin Hood movie.

[@RebekahSnider]

Not only do I love the dress you make in this video, the outfit you're wearing while sewing is so cute!

[@hewelinevieira1408]

Woooow, this dress is really very beautiful 😍💖.... Yes, you are incredible in this dress, this is a princess dress, it is a kind of magic 💖. I really loved it! I will try to sew it, wish me luck 😆. Following you! 🤗

[@HappyWithMyHeadset]

I'd love this as a blouse... you make it look so easy! You must have the most patient hands in the world.

[@kaytiej8311]

I agree with you about Rayon. Cool and still with that dreamy movement. Definitely my favourite for summer in Australia. I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing your dress at any time for anything!

[@dilshaad_23]

Oooh now I'm looking forward - still new with fabrics, but recently bought some rayon in the hopes that it would be a good option to try.

[@caitlinmason2353]

Janelle, I do a lot of sewing in my life. I am in school for costume design and I work at a tailor shop. But I don’t spend a lot of time sewing for myself. You continually inspire me to create more timeless pieces for my wardrobe. I watched this while sewing my own dress form! Hopefully it leads to lots of future projects.

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s so lovely to hear! Thanks for watching, and I’m glad I could keep you company while you sew x

[@seamstressd]

As sooooon as I saw you repost this I went and made the dress! I love your commentary because that definitely was me the entire time I was sewing...lol like how is this going to work and then it all came together. The true definition of trust the process!

[@RoseryApparel]

Haha I’m glad to hear you were the same! Jessica from Silversaga is a pattern wizard 😍

[@Vetala007]

this dress is the best dress I've ever seen. you look incredible in this baby!

[@nevermindingmyownbusiness]

You should put your cutting table on 4x4 blocks of wood. It will make the height so much nicer for cutting!

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

Maybe better for sewing too, maybe. I noticed how much Janelle was stooped over the sewing machine (sorry, couldn't think of a more elegant way of putting it) and how much that ends up hurting after a few hours... It does me, when I sew or craft... Our heads weigh like 7lbs and it strains our neck and back muscles in this position. Same for when we spend too much time on our cell phones. Ugh. Ergonomics!

[@janettescott580]

You look lovely in this dress. I'm with you in the love of rayon, so flowy to wear. Good job.🏆

[@LadyOfStavoren]

The dress is so gorgeous on you! Rayon was definitely the perfect choice. Love these sewalong videos - so calming and inspiring to watch 🧡

[@RavenStealstheNight]

It's very similar to the Bella Loves Patterns, the Linda dress. It is very different than what you have made previously. That being said, well done you on making a dress that's outside your norm and trying to decipher the tricky aspects of it. You look fabulous. 😊

[@bandanarathore]

Hi, does the linda dress have a deep neckline like this or is it less deeper than this one?

[@Elle-py8pf]

​@@bandanarathoreThis pattern is super easy to Google (just type "Bella Loves Patterns, the Linda Dress"). Your question is a bit hard to answer since they have two different neckline styles. The Linda Dress has more of a wide scoop neckline while this is more of a plunging one (not sure the name). So this dress shows a tad more cleavage. However the Linda Dress shows more skin as it displays the neck, collarbones, skin above the cleavage and some shoulders. But it doesn't show cleavage. So....they're technically both "deep" necklines but they have a different style to them. I really just recommend Googling it as your version of "deep" may be different from mine.

[@loreyfast8061]

The checkered dress you are wearing is also lovely! All the dresses hanging up look wonderful!

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you, pretty proud of my rack of me-mades 😄

[@Campanula.rapunculus]

Fairy Princess vibes/Stevie Nicks! The dress looks absolutely stunning on you Janelle! It's super inspiring to see you make these dream dresses.

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you!! It’s one of my favourite dresses I’ve ever made 😍🧡

[@kerryhull2116]

The dress looks beautiful on you and it’s interesting to hear you talk about a pattern that challenges you , good video I loved it👍🏻

[@jacquelinetusman6683]

Absolutely beautiful. You look like a “fairy princess “!

[@msraerae91]

Saw this on your Instagram today and I've been thinking about it since. I'm obsessed! So happy you posted the video so soon 🥹❤️ what a treat!

[@marionlacey1986]

Janelle, I would never attempt this pattern. I felt stressed just watching you cut it out, but you nailed it beautifully! In a word your dress is stunning and fits you perfectly. While watching your video I had a vision of medieval knights in shining armour on horseback, galloping through a forest accompanied by a maiden with flowing long hair and wearing this same coloured dress, the sleeves and skirt billowing around her. You are that maiden Janelle! Thank you for such a detailed video on the construction process. The rayon fabric is so right for the design.🐾🥰

[@LittleDizzyGirl]

This dress definitely gives fairy vibes. It would be a perfect pattern for a Halloween costume. It's also a super flattering, feminine dress and I love it!

[@brookefenton4107]

What a stunner! This dress is gorgeous and looks amazing on you.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if it was going to suit me, but I’m so happy with it in the end 😊

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Your dress looks gorgeous, suits you so well, thanks for the tutorial, Deb 🪡🧵💕

Thanks for watching Deb x

Lovely dress Janelle, well done cause it was quite complicated. Hangs beautifully…love it…

[@helenjevans8653]

Thats an amazing dress. You look beautiful in it. My husband said to tell you that you look very classy. A complicated make, dont think i will be attempting it any time soon, my sewing isnt good enough yet. Well done xx

[@eebeegee8325]

Yay! Great to see you sewing dresses again! Love how it turned out! ❤

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Super stylish and beautiful Janelle! ! You look amazing in that colour and style of dress. You definitely look like a fairy princess wearing it. Thank you for sharing. Remain blessed xxx

[@mirisoji8406]

The dress came out absolutely fantastic! Well worth you skill and effort. Great job!

[@bajaboolie]

Ok, first of all, I was obsessed with your awesome mug before you said anything about it, and now I love it even more. What a sweet and thoughtful husband! And I love how intriguing this pattern was for you. It’s fun watching how much fun you’re having with it. 😊

[@faydowner4718]

The dress looks stunning on you Janelle, such a perfect fit. You look super relaxed and refreshed following your trip to Japan! As for future patterns........if you'd consider sewing a very beginner friendly jumpsuit I'd be forever grateful!!! 😊

words can not describe how GORGEOUS you are in that dress!!! very 'trust the process' fun and it is exquisite!! the color is perfect on you!! it matches your sweeter and it looked like a lot of other stuff in your wardrobe. it would be stunning with black accents. a shawl or the sunglasses are awesome. if you ever have a mind to recreate it, you could totally go with the fairy princess sleeves. you have the perfect figure for this. for some one that is more lumpy like myself, it would show every curve. you are very talented and i loved watching this!!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

I love the dress! Well done. I also love that you have a limited color palette. I love so many colors and prints, my wardrobe is all over the place. The cohesiveness of your collection is pleasing and professional. Something talked about a lot on project runway and the designer and fashion shows. Glad to see you back. Six months in Japan flew! I enjoyed that too. 😘🎉

[@ArmindaHeart]

That looks so fabulous on you! Well done!

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Wonderful dress!! Rayon was a lovely choice to get the flow xxx

[@oodles_of_noodles.]

Wow. That dress is incredible. Unfortunately I'm overweight and it would probably look like a circus tent on me, but you look absolutely beautiful in it. You have a new subscriber :)

[@JB-vd8bi]

Oooh I need a green one. Absolutely gorgeous as always Janelle

[@padocsdoll]

This is such a dreamy dress! The pattern is a work of art for sure, but the way you crafted the dress and executed the pattern to perfection is amazing. Maybe one day I will feel comfortable enough in my skills to pull off something as beautiful as this. ♥

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Your dress looks fabulous. I like the sleeves. 😀

[@ajp5527]

One day would you mind showing us your sewing fails or half completed projects? I have a bunch... and sometimes I feel like I'm alone. 😅 Love your videos and outfits. 🥰

[@jessicaneal8553]

I made a dress for my daughter... tried the bodice on before the next step, too small, so made a bigger bodice and decided to use the smaller one for a matching dress for her sister. More than 2 months later (I don't even remember) I'm finally finishing it today. I hope.

[@SandraHammer-p8n]

The dress is gorgeous and looks beautiful on you ❤

[@happyshopper570]

I can’t believe that even your birthday mug from Matt matches your color palette 😂. Lovely dress too, so high end

[@caterinap600]

Hi...this dress is so beautiful and perfect on you. It's a greate pleasure to see you sawing another gown in your australian nest although I followed you with great pleasure during your stay in Japan😊

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much for watching 🧡

[@vikkibendle1341]

Well done you! What a fantastic project to start back with and how successful is it! Looks absolutely beautiful on you.. if the colour of the zip tab at the back worries you..maybe go to a model shop and buy a tiny pot of paint to colour it to match…just a thought… I’d like to see you do another of these patterns…maybe a floral fabric and shorter length…

[@lynette.]

I had a dress with this style of bodice shape with a high polo neck in a satin rayon which was my favourite maxi dress so comfortable. 1979 it remained part of my wardrobe until 2000 the material just gave up the ghost.

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s so amazing! I hope this dress lasts me that long 😄

[@dilshaad_23]

[@mandybewkes5300]

That dress is divine, you are such a gifted seamstress. I love this type of video and it's nice to see you try something new.

[@hooray4pie145]

Such a beautiful dress!😍 This one is really a case of trusting the process, the construction was quite unusual.

[@RoseryApparel]

It was so fun to see how it all came together in the end! 😊

[@sewingseamswithdeb]

Hi Janelle, i just adore this dress on you, the flow of it is very mystical. Thanks so much for stepping us through the process too, its brilliant to hear your thoughts as you work through the steps. I guess it comes down to, Trust the process and the pattern instructions. Particularly with Indi patterns I find, because the patterns are tested well and any hiccups removed. Overall a great project that produced a beautiful dress. Great fit too. I bet you cant wait to wear it out to a special event! ❤❤

[@janicekenter9221]

The dress is beautiful on you. I really enjoyed watching you put it all together.

[@oumaziza707]

can you give us the appli that you used to draw you pattern ?

[@jarschz1]

@@oumaziza707 Janelle didn't pattern this dress. She purchased and downloaded the pattern from an online store. Once downloaded, you can print and tape together the pages, then selecting your size and cutting along your size lines to get your pattern pieces. Hope this helps!

[@michellestrickland7613]

It's an elegant design and seems as if it would work with many different fabrics.

[@CreativeDee]

Beautiful dress. Rayon is my favourite fabric because it flows so beautifully.

[@eileenfb1948]

The bodice fits so well. An amasing pattern designer, though the top shoulder line has a tad too much 'movement' this dress is absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe how good it fits you, like it was designed especially for you. The fabric, I love. Yes you could put a pocket in one of the skirt seams but perhaps it would show through too easily. I don't know how you managed to figure out how to piece this together. Your zip is amasingly good considering the colour. Brilliant. Not forgetting to mention that you have a good body to carry it off well. All you need now is a beautiful shawl or cape to keep your shoulders warm on a cool evening. ❤❤❤

You should consider getting a laptop stand and a wireless mouse to use with it, so that you can save your upper back and neck. It would cost like $30 and would save you so much strain and long term damage.
