Very Easy Vogue Cocktail Dresses

[@beverleydanziger4099]

Kristen I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos and hearing you speak. I am originally from Frankston, Victoria but have lived in North Carolina (USA) for the past 27 years. It is just lovely to hear your accent and to occasionally hear a magpie or see a gum tree.:-) Thank you for your all your thought and work in producing these informative videos.

[@MultiFortunate1]

Hi Beverley, interesting comment. Hope you're surviving trump. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 BTW I've recently read "Where the Crawdads Sing", a most exquisite novel set in N Carolina. It sounds like a beautiful place. Hello from Brisbane, Marg 👍🏽👋🏼🦜🐨🐠🦘

Thank you so much! I actually worked in Frankston for a couple of years, in the early 90s! I worked at a store called "Sussan" In Bayside shopping centre! What a small world xx

Hi Kristen, thanks for the wrap up. You have a beautiful collection of fancy frocks🥰 I still swoon when I see the dress you made for your twins’ party. It’s a perfect combination of fabric, style and fit. Beautiful. Thanks for giving us another look at it.😊

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you! Such a lovely fit too, its one of those patterns that looks better made up in real life!

[@dianadivadiamond]

I enjoy watching your videos. Your accent adds a different touch to the others but most of all are the prints that your outfits are made from. I'm soooooo jealous of them. I wish I could have some of them. They're ohhhhhh sooooo fabulous and the outfits does them justice. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thedahliasewciety]

Kristen, your fabric to pattern matching is exquisite! Love em all but fave is 9292 fit n flare...fabric and fit unbelievable. I love vogue patterns as they generally fit me well so will be buying this one. Now to find the fabric...

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you so much! Its one of those patterns that the envelope doesn't do it justice, its just so nicely drafted!

[@fippy]

Hi Kristen, I loved the red velvet and the Kimono dress and I'd really love to make one for myself but because I'm an (aussie) size 12/14 with a H cup the thought of finding & adjusting any pattern to fit me just puts me off even trying. Maybe I could start with a simple wrap dress when we can venture back into a Spotlight store, thanks for your video. Fip. (melbourne) :)

[@thedahliasewciety]

Oh fantastic! It would be a great dress to start with and you can always grade out bigger around the bust! So nice to have more Melbournians watching xx

Joanne Powell oh that would have been amazing! We do come last Townsville to visit a friend in Brandon and to go to the speedway down at Pioneer Park. I will let you know when we are coming past Incase it suits you to catch up. Sewing friends are few and far between I am afraid.

[@morrisdancer11]

I am also in Victoria. (Bon Beach).I'm so glad I found you. I am your size so I know the wrap dress works well BUT: I don't go out much so I want something In a basic style but out of more everyday fabric. The main thing for me is comfort and practicality. I also like the dreaded leggings and straight legged pants to wear under a tunic or dress. Can any of these shown today use a fabric more "every day". Thank's a lot. Love your vid.,s.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Hi Vera, so nice to have another Melbournian on here! I LOVE my leggings under dresses for winter, so comfy! It would be lovely to be able to show off our makes if we ever get out of lockdown! Keep safe xx

[@MultiFortunate1]

Hi Kristen, Great work! 👏🏽👍🏽🤗 Question re 9253: It seems quite roomy. Do you reckon we could do it without the zip?? Thanks Look forward to hearing from you. M, Brisbane.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Yes you can most definitely leave out the zip! In fact, I left it out of my linen one that I made the same!

[@thomasinagoss3611]

The red Velvet holiday dress it’s stunning on you. Yes that boarder print is very chic.so far I am with you on your dress make i don’t like the color block pattern but the style of the dress look very nice on you and where did you buy that gorgeous fabric from. Great Choice of fabric
