In the 1930s and '40s, dressmakers would have used pinked seams, which are in fact sturdy enough, especially for evening wear, and will be invisible when the garment is pressed. Gorgeous gown!

I love the way the gown turned out, and the techniques used, too. Plus, your mock-up served a double by creating a new dress! Excellent!!

Rayon seam binding, which is basically a thin, rayon ribbon, is a good finish to reduce bulk. Faux French seams can also be useful.

What a beautiful dress! That colour looks perfect with the pattern. In the future, you can bind some seams with lace seam binding to reduce bulk (it's similar to bias binding the edge but way thinner).

Others brought up suggestions so I won't repeat it. Its a ton of fun to have evening gowns and I wear mine to dinner, theater, ballet, opera and symphony. No longer the dress code but I dress for myself. Makes me even a bigger freak in Walla Walla. I'm itching to sew two to three more but the six that I wear in rotation are still very nice. I did refashion them some in the past.

Thank you for being cost transparent all the time! I think it makes your making process more tangible. Hearing the amount you invest in projects helps me gauge how much I can/want spend on a similar project.

I make all my internal seams like narrow hems if that makes sense. I fingerpress both pieces, right sides together, and fold down half my seam allowance. Then I fingerpress again so the raw edge is hidden. Then I just sew a straight stitch or running stitch depending on if I’m using machine or hand.

If it’s a really really thin fabric you can even do it with a narrow hem foot. Foldover and stitch both pieces together then insert in foot.

The easiest and quickest way to finish your seams would be pinking shears. But if you don't have an overlocker/serger some sewing machines game a couple of overcast sts, otherwise you can do a zigzag st if you material frays badly enough that pinking isn't enough. Good luck 👍 Love your videos, esp the cost breakdowns it's interesting converting the cost to Australian $ and prices.

A loving use of the silk! Stunning color and sheen on you. Based on the pattern illustration and that gathering at the bust style, I would say that the gather should go all the way around and under the bust. To not make the décolletage too deep, this seems like something you could customize by playing with the shape of the point in the pattern - lower it but also make it a bit more pointy, so to speak, were you to ever use this pattern again.

I feel it's extremely difficult to sew slippery fabric like silk on my home sewing machine. The seams always pucker, especially on the bias, even worse when sewing biased French seams. I've tried different methods on the internet, changing the thread weight, and thread tension, using the foot for straight stitches, or sticking tape on the hole of the foot. None of these work for me.
