Hello! The two larger panels with the roundish bottom were for the middle panels that covered my torso and back. I took my measurement, divided by 6, and made the dress with 6 panels for a better fit.

No i ment the uh, like the 2 on the right those pieces o;

Ohhh, its so the fabric can follow the curves for the skirt to flare out.
(This isnt the bestpattern i've made - admittingly - i've learned a lot more about pattern making since then. If you wanna use straight lines in a skirt panel you can.)

ooh, i see and could u tell me how u did those ruffles on ur finished dress? o;
lawl, sorry for the questions xD

Sorry it took so long to reply!
I made a very very very very long rectangle, and in the center I made a 1/4th inch stitch length all the way through. When you pull the string, the fabric gathers in to ruffles.

What kind of fabric are you using? A lightly stretchy one? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it was a woven, it has a tiny bit of pull but it doesn't stretch much. :3 the fabric I was using here was a cotton blend fabric.

I see. Did you put a zipper in it? o.O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope XD;; I was lucky it fit the way it did without one!

Wow. This tutorial helped quite a bit. I'm not a beginner sewer, but I'm a beginner at dresses (which I would LOVE to make) and this tutorial seems like it will really help me out ^^

Thanks so much for doing this, it REALLY helped me a lot!
Without this I'd propably never get away from pre-made patterns (I haven't even started with them)
Now I just need to learn how to use a sewing machine and then I can start going crazy
Thank youuu!

Knock your socks off! That is what its for. Just as long as you're not trying to claim it to be your own, which you're not, then do what you want with it.

How many inches should be added on to the measurments for sewing allowance *sp?>.O * You know, to its not too tight?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I usually.... just add a half of an inch or even a whole inch to the measurement. It just depends, I would totally give yourself a good .5-1 inch though if you're a beginner.
In the industry, they dont even give you seam allowance on patterns

Ah, that sucks. D=
Ok thenx!

Im not quite sure since I'm in college. The next step would be a walk-through of a sewing machine but... One machine wouldn't be the same as all others... so.
Eventually i'll do something... I've finished the dress already 
^^ I'm glad you like them!
