![make the perfect dress in 3 hours [SEWING TUTORIAL]](/img/tr.png)
i'm a Nigerian (Africa) & recently i've been wanting to watch tutorials from other countries so i can learn their own styles and sewing patterns but majority videos never show pattern drafting processes and it's so frustrating bc its like - isn't that the "tutorial"? 😅😅 Like I know how to sew w a machine, i want to see how u came up w the style lol. Anyways all I'm saying is I absolutely love it when tutorials include how to make the patterns so we watching can learn and follow along. I'm going to try this, thank you very much! 😊🤗
It's called,I paid much to do to school so enjoy the little I want to share for free😂😂😂😂
I'm also a Nigerian and I find this very frustrating as well😂. Most of the time I only watch self drafting videos like this because I really have no intention of downloading and cutting out a pattern I prefer to know it myself😅
The draping is everything for me
This is amazing! I'm attempting a bridesmaid dress with this pattern because I couldn't fathom paying $120 USD for a cheaply made dress from a big box store.
Great tutorial! Thanks for showing how it drapes with other fabric!
Emma you make it look so simple I might actually find the confidence to try this ! I love it thank you for the tutorial
girl!! GORGEOUS
You make it seem so simple! 😭 Great tutorial. Thank youuuu ❤️

Emma. Thank you.
You sew a very beautiful dress.💯
Beautiful ❤️👌👌
Magnifique ❤
I can't wait to try this out! Do you overlock after you've sewn everything or after you cut the pieces out?
I recommend overlocking the edges right after u cut out the pieces
Asombroso 🎉
Que hermoso 💚 bestido me encanta 💖
Thaaaank you so much for this, I love it
😄
So lovely😘😘😘😘😘
Nice❤❤
Am gonna make it, just hoping it turned out just like yours 🥰🤲
Feel free to ask me questions whenever you need to
@@thatsemma-fashion Yeah Sure, I will ✨
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for one that has more draping and this is the only one I found :) btw, I want to ask about adjusting the neckline shown at 7:35, since you attached the strap at the very edge earlier, what happens to it if the neckline is adjusted?
Because my straps are at least one meter long, when adjusting the width of the neckline, the reduction on both sides is usually within 5 cm and this length will not affect the straps in any way.
However, when doing this step, you need to make sure the straps are snug against the inside edge, otherwise, they may not be in the correct position when you turn the dress to the front.
I also recommend that you do this step with all the pleats secured with hand stitches to reduce the chances of mistakes. good luck ❤
Or you can decide the length of the neckline first and sew the sides together, cut off the excess fabric, then rip the seam at both front corners, insert the shoulder straps, and sew them back together. You can choose any method you like, as long as the result is the same.
@@thatsemma-fashion thank you so much for replying!!
Please make jumpsuit
I'm wondering if maaybe I could do a cowl neck by slashing the bodice from neckline to waist and spreading it to make the neckline wider (too wide, so it'll want to droop) and then just hope the straps stay well on my shoulders since they'll come over the shoulder from the normal place in the back
Can we make this without adding a zipper?
Love the tutorial ☺️🥰. I’m glad I’ve found your channel 💕.
Also I want to ask about your sewing machine, what model is it? Do You recommend it?
my sewing machine is brother NV 15, in fact, I've only ever used this one, it's worked for me for over six years and has never broken, except when I accidentally broke the rod that holds the thread. Other than that, I think it will work for another six years.
@@thatsemma-fashion That's great!!! 😄. Thank You for the information☺️.
Am I correct that the pleats are drawn on the back pattern.. not the front? But when you put the front and back patten together to cut a curve, you cut the back and the front is on the table.. but with pleats drawn?! Thank youuuu
Whaou ! It is so Amazing ! ♥️😍🥰♥️😍
That extra panel: was it also cut on the bias? And why is the spool of thread outside the sewing machine?
Amazing turorial, I'm gonna make it! But tell me please, how long is the front facing?
I didn't really measure it, I think around 15cm will do
amazing dress and tutorial!!do you think it would work with velvet that is stretchy in one way?
yep, it will work, just make sure that the stretch runs across the width of your garment
@@thatsemma-fashion okay thank you! so its not on the bias?
@@Jeaaaaaaanne for your case it's not on the bias
@ThatsEmma Thank you for the video. The dress is beautiful. Could i also sew it the seame way using silk fabric?
Yes,its the same
i might have missed this but how much fabric in yds do we need to make this? the fabric i’m looking at is 60in in width but not too sure about how much to buy in length 😅
This video is literally amazing! Such a beautiful design !! Do you have a link to the fabric you got? If not it’s fine :)
I don't have the link anymore, but I got it on myfabrics, you can try to find
@@thatsemma-fashion thank you!
Hello 👋
thank you so much for this tutorial
Pls whats the width of the bottom and the height of the rectangle for the cow neck?
Thank you
Hey i really loved the way you explained it!!! Amazing!! All i wanna ask is what can i do if i want to tight the dress a little in the bottom like a fit one???
I assume you're looking for a pencil skirt shape, here's what I would suggest:
when drawing the pattern, Instead of flaring out from the hip, draw a straight line down from this point to the hemline. then smooth out the side.
To make sure you can move around comfortably while wearing the dress, I would recommend adding a slit on the side or CB. This will give you more freedom of movement.
Let me know If you have any questions or need further help! good luck with sewing！ 😉
@@thatsemma-fashion i have to do that on both the pattern right?? The front and back?
@@thatsemma-fashion also can you explain me what smooth out the sides means? Im a beginner and have no idea but it
@@vaishnaviraut7162 yep!
@@vaishnaviraut7162 because when we connect the bust, waist, and hip points with straight lines, it will create harsh corners, and we always need to make sure the side seams flow smoothly from top to bottom.
if you are still confused, you can google" pencil skirt pattern", and you will figure it out immediately.
Love the video! if i have a different sam allowance than you (an inch) should i place the zipper an inch in from the edge? instead of right at the edge
It depends on how wide your zipper is. My invisible zipper is about 1cm( 0,4in) wide, which is the same as my seam allowance(1cm), so I put it right on the edge of the fabric.
You will need to adjust the position depending on your seam allowance and the zipper. for example. if you have 1in seam allowance and 0,4in wide invisible zipper, then you need to move 0,6in inward from the edge. always make sure the zipper+empty space=seam allowance
@@thatsemma-fashion thank you! this helps alot, random question but should we cut the fabric for the straps on the bias too?
@@user-xy7ed6jy2rcut straps on the bias are mainly for added elasticity, which in this case is not necessary.
@@thatsemma-fashion thank you!!
@@thatsemma-fashion thank you!!
Also, you mentioned you had to cut the back piece in 2 pieces because of your limited fabric, I’m wondering, if we have enough to cut in one price should we? Should I cut (the length of the zipper) down the middle of the back and install the zip like that? Or is it better for the back to be in 2 pieces (even with enough fabric) for the zipper to sit right
The back piece is meant to be separated in the middle, even with enough fabric, in the video I said I didn't have enough fabric to fold it in half and cut the 2 back pieces together like the front, instead, I had to open the fabric and try different angles to fit it in.
@@thatsemma-fashion ahhh I understand now thank you!!
@@ln8784 😉
Love this tutorial ❤️. Please how can I use this method when cutting a cowl neck with a half cut?
I would like to help you, but frankly I am confused about what a half-cut is, could you explain it to me first, thank you very much.
@@thatsemma-fashion okay it is called half length in my country. The shoulder to waist measurement
@@nwaobialauzoamaka8113 Ok, I'm assuming you want to make a cowl neck top instead of a dress, then you need to make some modifications to the patterns.
1. trim the patterns shorter and cut 12cm below the waistline, which is the length of most tops.
2. don't trim the edge curve on the back (2:35), keep it straight.
3.u don't need to add a zipper! yeah! which means the back pattern needs to be cut on the fold as well(3:44).
then the rest should be the same, but I suggest you make a prototype first to see the shape. Hope my answer can help you ❤
@@thatsemma-fashion yes it did. Thank you so much
@@nwaobialauzoamaka8113 one last thing: when u attaching the facing with the outer layer, remember to use zig-zag stitch to keep the most elasticity of the fabric. good luck 😉
check out my Etsy shop for more patterns ❤: www.etsy.com/shop/ThatsEmmaStudio?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
I dont have paper
Hey I'm attempting to make your pattern and wondering how you calculated the pleated part into 4 parts 😊
I kind of eyeballed it😅, maybe you could try out my measurements with a prototype first to see if it fits. If it does, then you can go ahead and make the actual dress. BTW, the width of the pleats isn't too crucial because the dress pattern starts from the bust point. That means as long as we add the pleats, the important area (nip) will always be covered
how much fabric is required?
Yes sorry. What is the measurements for the front extension and each pleat in front?
it‘s in the 2:23 .
Also, when you are taking mesurements, the width of hips and waist can't be just 1/4 of all width?
The waist may be fine, but not the hips, because most of the volume of the hips is in the back, it's best to measure the front and back separately.
@@thatsemma-fashion how long fabric that you used for the dress??
Very nice ! I also like your last two videos . I suggest you guys to check it out !
me again haha! Everything is going great! However I'm putting the back and front together and my back pieces seem to be much longer than the front at the end (once I match up at the hip, it's about 2 inches longer at the back) is this normal? it seems to be the same for you when you placed it down in the video
Where is it longer? Are the side seams the issue? If the longer part is on the side, just trim it off. but also when you cut fabric on the bias, it tends to stretch more. So, when you're putting the pieces together, be gentle and avoid tugging on the fabric too much
@@thatsemma-fashion its longer at the hem, not sides and i don't think im pulling, maybe i didnt cut them the same length as i had to shorten the dress legth to fit on my fabric (but i was sure it was the same) let me double check maybe it was my sillly mistake!
nope all even, wonder whats happening maybe the back as stretched out on the bias?
@@user-xy7ed6jy2r it happens all the time 😂
@@thatsemma-fashion last question I swear! How wide did you make your straps, I currently have them at 1cm after folding (plus seam allowance) but I'm worried its too thin for the fabric weight, how did your dress hold up after wear (I'm pretty sure I have the exact same fabric as you)
Hii!! I’m going to be making my own graduation dress. Do you think this pattern would be just fine for satin/silk material?
Yep, absolutely, I recommend using a medium weight non-stretch silk or satin, as long as you cut the patterns on the bias, the skirt will be drapey and flowy. Fabrics that are too light may stick to your legs due to static electricity, which can affect the shape of the skirt, and Congrats on your graduation! A bright future awaits you!❤
Hi, i was so thinking about using satin/silk but I don't know if the pattern making process is the same 😶
I’m confused on how your folding the “front facing” and “back facing” and sewing down the sides and somehow your head goes in there somewhere?
You can take an a4 paper and lay it flat on the table, consider it as the skirt that has not yet installed the zipper.
Then you tape another smaller piece of paper (which is the facings) along the top edge of this paper.
and then stick the two longer sides of a4 paper together and it becomes a cylinder, which is the skirt with the zipper installed, as you can see, the head can go inside without any problem.
Of course, the top edge of the skirt is not completely flat, it has some curves (which I call the sides), but it is still overall the top edge, and the opening for the head is not blocked.
the facings are only used for hemming the top edges, it works the same as the rolled hem, just because it's more suitable for curved edges, and also creates a more professional look
I'm in the middle of this project.....and i m stuck at pleats formation from last 2 hours couldn't fiigure out how to manage them evenly😖😣
Maybe if u hav showed that part i can somehow make it☹️
Anyways i can't give up 🥲🥲
Simply concentrate on the edge. Fold it the way I did, and allow the fabric to drape naturally. You don't need to be concerned about the rest. However, if you genuinely want the folds to stay in place throughout the process, you might consider loosely hand-stitching them
Thank u...it will help
@thatsemma-fashion and also tell me that u took 1 meter long 2 strips or 1meter long 1 strip and split in half?
@@anoshakhaliq1470 1 meter for each side
@thatsemma-fashion thank u emma soooo much emma
I already made my dress and i m soooooo happy the way it turned out
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I m from Pakistan and although we don't wear such dresses casually but i made this for my wedding night which is just 3 weeks away
And i m so excited to wear it🤩🤩
Thank u for helping me 🥰🥰🥰 i really appreciate your work 🫶
Hi can we make this dress without bias cutting
Bias cutting is used to make fabric stretchier. If your fabric is already stretchy, you can just cut it straight instead.
C est le bordel pour les explications c trop rapide
Still have this dress? Wanna sell it? I want to see my wife in it!
