The dress is adorable...honestly I probably wouldn't have chosen that fabric in the store but it totally works for this style. You wear it well. Choosing fabric to match the pattern style is what I need to get better at doing! Nothing screams "HOMEMADE" like the wrong fabric choice... and sadly I have a few of those..UGH! But you have a good eye for that. I'd love to see you do a tutorial of this same dress in a light colored solid or less busy print..strictly for the educational construction aspects of the pleats. The math made my head spin a little but I'd like to try this. My measurements are nearly the same as yours except my full bust is a little smaller.. so I'd probably start by copying what you did. If I can find a flowy enough fabric, I think I might try it with a 3" or so soft ruffle at the top ~ that way I can away with no bra and not look completely flat 🥴 Love your videos!

What are the advantages to the pleating as compared to a straight piece of fabric? Is it all aesthetic (it does have a really nice look), or does it also improve the way it fits to your body? I love this dress.

I just stumbled across your channel this evening. I am a novice who wants to learn. Your projects have an elegant simplicity, are straight forward, and the instructions are clear and logical. The tank top looks very comfortable. Is there more of a fabric description than "a nice rib-knit fabric from Joann's"? I've purchased a sewing machine and notions from Joann's, but never fabric. What should I ask for - is it cotton or synthetic? Thank you.
@PatternScout
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! For that rib knit, I'm actually not 100% sure of the fiber content but it is most likely a cotton/spandex blend. That one is a heavier rib knit than I usually go for. But typically cotton/spandex (or cotton with a synthetic stretch fiber mixed in) rib knits are pretty common. When I shop, I just touch everything and pick what feels the best :)
