I made this dress in a rayon fabric and it turned out amazing. My body shape us like yours and I was very pleasantly surprised with this pattern. Also, I didn’t do the lantern sleeves fir the reasons you mentioned, but I have to say that I think that option looks great on you. I actually think it balances out your top area so it doesn’t look as much like a heavy bosom but a very proportional top. Lovely!!!
Your Cielo collection is gorgeous! So versatile. I think I like the white one best too, it just looks so fresh and summery. Thanks for keeping us company and sharing the with us.
Bought this pattern after seeing your makes, but it's a year later and finally cut it out tonight inbetween your sew along for June 2021! I cut it out of a vintage white linen tablecloth I've had for years and used it a lot in days gone by. It's so soft and looking forward to finishing it tomorrow. I just finished a pair of white denim Ginger Jeans, my 3rd pair. I was really needing tops and jeans. Thanks for being such an inspiration and motivating factor to make me challenge myself. I love details and a challenge for sure, but sometimes it's nice to just sew a quick make!
I love that you have used your creativity to make each lovely garment so different. Beautiful colours too. My favourites are the white top and the one with lantern sleeves.
I would love to see the Jasika blazer as a sew along with your new camera angles. I’d love a slower, multi part project, that needs some careful fitting. I always find those very absorbing. The cielo’s are gorgeous. I just inherited 21 metres of white Irish linen and have had such fun dyeing it in 3mtre lengths. It has a beautiful weight and I’m going to make at least one of the lengths into a cielo.
@@TomKatStitchery just love the Rome collection which I am reviewing for ideas prior to purchasing. I too am petite and have exactly the same issues as you re bust, height, excess material. Where can I find the link re your tutorial re adjustments? Many thanks, Sandy
Your makes are great! I love this pattern collection also, and have made multiples of each. It took me 2 1/2 hours to figure out the pockets the first time but so worth it. 😊
Very nice. Love my own Cielo top. Very interested in the petite adjustment - I do sometimes get that front shoulder thing and have not understood what was causing it or how to correct it.
All of your Cielos are beautiful, the pattern really suits linen & the lantern sleeves look great on you in the drapier fabric.I've made Both the dress & the top but the top is MIA, so I need to make another but I think I'll wear my dress tomorrow as the weather I perfect for it
I know make the petite adjustment on all most of my bodices following your tutorial and in fact I have 4 Cielo Tops (love them all) and the last one has the petite adjustment of 1" and it fits so well. I'm still trying to get the shape on the sleeve heads absolutely correct after taken out the inch but so happy to have seen your tutorial - thanks Witney! x
I should add that i've made mine in double gauze, chambray denim, a lovely linen viscose and a cotton viscose mix. I love them all but the double gauze is my favourite although its the first one I made so is the one that doesn't fit the best - I wear it over long sleeved tees in winter as it has a bit more slack around the upper bust area. xx
Those are ALL really cute on you. The lantern sleeve is very flattering with the white jeans. I think it is an unexpected garment that works for you. You should get a commision from Closet Case Patterns because a lot of us will probably purchase it. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me in my journey of sewing.
Love all your makes but I can’t see that pattern being anything that would suit me... I would love you to show us how to make a whole garment with french seams or even just how to sew the sleeves would be great... have a good weekend xx
I really liked this! I just got my pattern in yesterday. I think that lantern sleeve top could work better with a flared or wide pant or even a fuller skirt. I am also an inverted triangle so its good to see this on a similar body type
You are so fun Whitney! I to have the Rome collection and it is so easy to just keep sewing these patterns. The contrasting Ceilo is such a cute make. I was wondering if maybe on your blog you would include a step by step instruction on the application of the facing. I would love to add that to a Ceilo top for me. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful clothes and generously passing on your tips and tricks.
I’m so glad you liked it! I actually did do a step by step for the contrast facing on the daily vlog. However, the part where I add the interfacing got corrupted (the camera file) so I had to talk through that part later. I’ll try and refilm that sometime!
Thank you for this video! I have my first Cielo top cut out (out of linen, obviously) and am getting ready to sew it together. I was having trouble deciding between facing and bias binding/facing, so it's great to see the options that you did. Beautiful work!
I kept going back to Closet Case to ponder the Cielo but then I'd decide that no I already have so many woven simple top patterns in my stash to get to this would be just silly :) THEN I finally decided I must have it (probably coming across a blog/vlog of someone's Cielo that was irresistible). With a mind-set GO only to discover of course Heather Lou isn't shipping out printed patterns just now. And if there are printed options that's for sure what I'll buy so it will have to wait after all :) Seeing your Cielos on you just whetted my appetite now even more :) They are all gorgeous on you especially in that beautiful linen. I've become obsessed with linen lately too...and drapey viscose. I bought some drapey, light viscose twill recently that is amazing. Thanks for another inspiring video Whitney. We're getting spoiled with all your videos!
I was curious about the size of the pockets - thank you so much for mentioning that and putting your hands in and moving them. I forsee a few of these in my wardrobe now also. I must have pockets! Totally enjoying your daily vlogs.
Jasika Blazer! I'm pulling together what I need to make a linen version as well! I also have the Rome collection and really liked how the Cielo Top looked on you - I'm taller than you are but have a similar shape/build. Thanks for sharing!
Firstly-I love that brick color on you(from the first dress)-definitely your color! Very nice top!! Of course the blouse your are wearing, is stunningly gorgeous on you!! The white top is just perfect! Oh my goodness! That lantern sleeved top is just lovely-great color on you-and great idea making the "Misti cami" to wear underneath ! Navy underneath it would look cool, also! Two toned dress is cute, as well-this reminds me of the "shift" style dresses we wore in the 60's and 70's. :+) Great video-and thank you for sharing!! Have a great week-end!
Love the rumpled linen concept not that many people go with it. Good on you for getting the most out of the pattern. My fave is the white and the pretty lantern link. Also feeling for you on the camera malfunction. At least your another dress out of it but maybe swearwords? Are you gonna our the Pietra pants with the cielo tops.
Thank you! I have been wearing my Pietras with my Cielo tops. I’m not sure that they are the most flattering together on my body, but they are so comfy that I don’t think I care 😂.
I am not a fan of polyester at all, but I do think that natural fibres benefit from 15% polyester or nylon in the woven threads. It stops the bagging of wool, linen and denim to some extent.
I have made 2 Cielo dresses and at least 3 tops. I also had to stop myself. I do have some red linen though and I haven't made a dress with pockets yet. 🤔
I love those garments! When I tried to stick that pattern together, I had so much trouble, most of the number guides did not print, so it cane out a little wonky. The dress made up ok, though, I was not able to put those pockets on correctly. I just made some for the outside, like regular patch pockets. I might try reprinting that pattern at some point.
Hi Whitney, I especially love the white top and it is so wonderful when a lack of fabric so creatively turns out. You are totally pulling off the lantern sleeve, but I feel the same way about boxy tops since I am curvier on the bottom. Speaking of pattern addiction Joann has Simplicity McCall's and Butterick for $2. ;)
I love the pattern too. I’m @kristimakes on Instagram and I’ve made a few so far. I have a great tip to share. You don’t even need to gather the sleeves to set them in. The curve is so slight that they go in with careful pinning. Love your windowpane linen version and I have the perfect fabric to make this version. I’ll make sure to thank and tag you. Thanks Whitney! ❤️
Love your garments, however for me the dresses would be too short.I do like the idea of the rumpled linen and like the way it looks on you.That see through orange blouse with the cami underneath looks great.Really like the fabric! I wonder if it was difficult to sew? I know it would be difficult for me, I have not yet tackled such delicate fabrics.
So i can’t decide if you are an inspiration or a bad influence! With linen ordered from thefabricstore, I have made a Cielo. Love it and I can see it becoming my favorite summer dress. I have a question re Cielo : is the shoulder seam designed to be slightly forward? I have looked at lots of Cielo photos online and some shoulder seams are foward and some not. The pattern itself does not specify foward. Yours look like they sit right at your shoulder. The underarm seam lines up with shoulder foward, if that matters. Opinion? Thank you for a great channel!
Hello I have just joined your group here. Where can I find the info on attaching the facing to the outside of the dress? Where can I find your daily vlogs? Enjoying listening to you very much.
Thank you! The daily vlogs show up on the channel on the days when I don’t have a “formal” video. You can find all the daily vlogs together on the playlist section of the channel and under “Creating in Quarantine”. I talked about the facing trick in one of this videos, but I’ve had so many requests, that I think I’ll do a dedicated video to that here soon!
I love what you did with that pattern. I didn’t like it at all from the pattern envelope but I loved all of the ones you made up. How did you finish the outside of the green facing you put on the front side of the last version? If you said, I missed it. Oh my, have I had filming snaffus lately!
Thank you, Joy! I sewed the fusible interfacing right sides together (so sticky side up) with the facing piece. I then clipped and understitched. Then I pressed the fusible to the wrong side so it was nice and neat . From there I just attached it to the right side and topstitched it in place! The filming gremlins have been having a field day over here!
You know, I think the Cielo could easily become the modern day 'house dress' with us being on self isolation! One for every day of the week and two for Sunday! lol
I tried cutting out just the short top, I was fine till I tried to find the sleeve. Do you have to print all pieces of the pattern to find it? At the rate I’m going you will be making fall clothes by the time I get this figured 😳. If I like it plenty of roomy should I go up a size? I’m in between the 40 and 42? I am slowly getting the hang of it, maybe will just try a sample?
If I remember correctly, I did print out the entire pattern because I wanted to make all the views. I hope you find it! This top is plenty roomy. Also, if you have a need for an FBA, there are separate fronts for C and D cups which is really handy! When it doubt, definitely do a test one!
Hi, Whitney! I have enjoyed watching many of your videos during Quarantine. I have made one Cielo top and have fabric set aside for two more. I had a question about the way this style of bust dart should fit. Mine end at least an inch above my bust line. Is that intended or should I try to lower the dart?
The dart should end around 1-1.5” away from your apex. Because this dart is coming from the armhole and above the apex then it’s probably in the right spot!
I'm new to sewing and just starting to tackle the cielo dress view C (your brick dress) and I'm also petite at 5 feet, am I supposed to shorten the sleeves for patterns as well? Or did you just leave the sleeves as is on the cielo?
Usually with short sleeves, I don't bother with shortening them. I do have to shorten long sleeves, but I usually leave the short ones as-is. I didn't shorten the sleeve on this pattern. However, I did have to do a petite adjustment on this pattern as it's pretty long from the shoulder to the bust point. In the brick colored dress I hadn't done the petite adjustment, but I did it on all the other versions and the fit is much better. I have a tutorial on how to make that adjustment on the channel as well, if you're curious!
@@TomKatStitchery I see, thank you so much. I’m petite at 5’ but my bust isn’t too large so when I put the cielo dress on after I sewed it, I can’t tell if I need a petite adjustment. I don’t think I have pulling or scrunching, it just falls ok over my smallish bust. I did notice the pattern has a long distance from shoulder to Armscye tho. I also had to lower my bust darts a little. I figure if I did a petite adjustment I guess I might have to lower the darts even more then since it will hike the dress up a bit? But then again maybe if no scrunching of material above my best means I don’t need it? It’s all a bit confusing for me
All the daily vlogs are on the playlist page under “Creating in Quarantine”. However, I’ve quite a few requests so I think I’ll make that technique it’s own video so it’s easier to find!
TomKat Stitchery that would be great. I do find searching by key words doesn’t always succeed.BTW I plan to make the Cielo dress in that jacquard fabric from Blackbird Fabrics that you made a jacket out of. Appropriate?
That dress would be the perfect swimsuit cover up! And, wouldn't it also be great over some just-past-the-knee leggings so you wouldn't have to worry about bending over? And, now I think you need some mid=calf palazzo pants to wear with the tops.
OH! That dotted shirt with the lantern sleeve would be so chic with a lime green tank top under.
That would be a ton of fun!
Love all the tops and dresses and love the linen...I also like it kind of rumpled...lived in!!
Exactly!
I’m impressed at how flattering the style is on a bigger bust. I’m similar sizing to you and now keen to try it. I love rumpled linen too.
I agree! I was on the fence about this pattern because of my bust. I’m glad I bit the bullet and tried it, though!
I had missed this one. Very enjoyable 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Like you tripping on Linen for this Spring Summer season. Love the colours of this collection. 💕
Thank you! I’ve clearly got a thing for linen and red and orange 😂.
Your Cielo collection is gorgeous! So versatile. I think I like the white one best too, it just looks so fresh and summery. Thanks for keeping us company and sharing the with us.

Love, love this pattern. It looks easy to do and the contrast is endless. I did enjoy it.

That sounds beautiful! I love thrifting linen from table cloths. They are always so soft!
I like the contrasting trim and the paprika colored top best..the white Jean's look great..very co.fy looking house dresses..stay well..from Tennessee
Thank you, Gale!
I love that you have used your creativity to make each lovely garment so different. Beautiful colours too. My favourites are the white top and the one with lantern sleeves.

I love the lantern sleeve top on you, especially in that color and fabric

As always great makes.
Thank you!
Beautiful dresses and tops. I, too, just love the white windowpane fabric. Looks so good on you. You are amazing, and make it look beautiful!
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you!
Love, love the Cielo tops you made. So versatile. The orange sheer is dynamite!
Thanks! I am so glad I spotted that knit at the Lets Sew cutting table. It was meant to be 😂.
Your makes are great! I love this pattern collection also, and have made multiples of each. It took me 2 1/2 hours to figure out the pockets the first time but so worth it. 😊

Maybe try wearing the lantern sleeve blouse with side legged pants. It might balance you better. It is so pretty on you!

Thank you! I clearly loved the pattern 😂.
Love seeing your collection. I love how the tops all go well with white pants. Nice looks

Usually with short sleeves, I don't bother with shortening them. I do have to shorten long sleeves, but I usually leave the short ones as-is. I didn't shorten the sleeve on this pattern. However, I did have to do a petite adjustment on this pattern as it's pretty long from the shoulder to the bust point. In the brick colored dress I hadn't done the petite adjustment, but I did it on all the other versions and the fit is much better. I have a tutorial on how to make that adjustment on the channel as well, if you're curious!
@@TomKatStitchery thanks so much! I subscribed and will check out your other vids :)
@@TomKatStitchery is there a general rule for petite adjustment, do you remember how much you took off?
@@FattiapplesI did a 1/2” petite adjustment on that pattern.
@@TomKatStitchery I see, thank you so much. I’m petite at 5’ but my bust isn’t too large so when I put the cielo dress on after I sewed it, I can’t tell if I need a petite adjustment. I don’t think I have pulling or scrunching, it just falls ok over my smallish bust. I did notice the pattern has a long distance from shoulder to Armscye tho. I also had to lower my bust darts a little. I figure if I did a petite adjustment I guess I might have to lower the darts even more then since it will hike the dress up a bit? But then again maybe if no scrunching of material above my best means I don’t need it? It’s all a bit confusing for me
How do I find the blog where you detail how to do the facing on the outside?
All the daily vlogs are on the playlist page under “Creating in Quarantine”. However, I’ve quite a few requests so I think I’ll make that technique it’s own video so it’s easier to find!
TomKat Stitchery that would be great. I do find searching by key words doesn’t always succeed.BTW I plan to make the Cielo dress in that jacquard fabric from Blackbird Fabrics that you made a jacket out of. Appropriate?
Oops typo comfy

That dress would be the perfect swimsuit cover up! And, wouldn't it also be great over some just-past-the-knee leggings so you wouldn't have to worry about bending over? And, now I think you need some mid=calf palazzo pants to wear with the tops.
It would be a great coverup! I love it!
