I'm so pleased people like the dress. </p> <p>I will take all into account and put measurements up as I think it's a great suggestion!<br /> I agree it's impossible to find something I'm completely satisfied with, those are the only garments il sell.<br /> I live in the West Midlands, shame really because a beautiful model would of been amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100646 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 22:18:45 +0000 Mia 1100646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great idea to post your creations for feedback. &nbsp;Love the vintage vibe of this dress. &nbsp;Very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100622 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 21:24:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1100622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Gigi said. It's a cute dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100584 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 20:10:49 +0000 Gigi 1100584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! Don't feel bad about being a man who likes to make women's clothes...that's not all that weird. Many of the big-name designers of women's clothes are men. And people don't think that male gynecologists are weird. :^)</p> <p>I like the dress too. Cute and playful, but practical. I think the pockets are awesome--I hate wearing a dress without pockets, and I think many others are in that camp. I am only an A cup, so I can't say anything about gapping. ;^)</p> <p>Maybe you could show these pictures to friends too and ask what they think people would pay for the dress on Etsy.&nbsp;On the Etsy page, can you provide a picture showing the dress in one piece, from top to bottom? Also, I find it really helpful when retailers provide bust, waist, hip, and length measurements. That way I know whether the item has a very good chance of truly fitting me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100551 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:41:22 +0000 patsymaloo 1100551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done you!&nbsp; I think it looks great - having made my own stuff in the past I know it's not easy to get a result you are&nbsp;satisfied with (or was that just me?!).&nbsp; Best of luck with it, and put some more photos up so we can see what you're making.&nbsp; (If you're at uni in London my daughter has volunteered herself as your fit model!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100500 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 16:25:21 +0000 joshbrodie 1100500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha thanks. I thought adding some deep pockets would give a casual feel.</p> <p>I would love to have someone wear it, I just live quite away from family atm because of uni. I was a little nervous and embarrassed to ask anyone. I know it's silly, just idk.</p> <p>I have put the dress on etsy, the prices range really. Some have got quite large price tags while others not so much. I really don't know what people would be willing to pay, I'm yet to sell to anyone who isn't a close friend or colleague. </p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/170429464/vintage-handmade-soft-cotton-dress" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1.....tton-dress</a>?</p> <p>My best attempt at a listing haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100487 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 16:03:43 +0000 fieldmouse 1100487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! And it has pockets! Which always makes any dress or skirt a thousand times better <br />The price you're thinking of is really rather cheap for handmade though. You could have a poke around on etsy, see what others charge for similar dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100485 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 16:01:49 +0000 Liz A. 1100485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a sister or someone you could use as a fit model? That could really help with the nuances of fit. That way you could advertise it as fitting a slim rectangle uk 10 with strong shoulders or whatever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100463 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 15:22:24 +0000 joshbrodie 1100463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw thank you, I have no idea how I would price something like this. I have looked about, does anyone have any suggestions? I thought maybe £24.00 that takes into account what I spent and then about £7 to buy more? Idk. </p> <p>Some similar look around that price, I just want someone to be able to wear it really. (Hate the selling part) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100450 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 15:04:42 +0000 Adelfa 1100450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fit--slim but relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100438 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:40:57 +0000 joshbrodie 1100438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you, il get on snapping it up a little. Keep some dignity haha. I'm glad it's been taken well, I'm always nervous I will like something which I'm not really in the position to wear haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100406 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:08:18 +0000 MuseumGal 1100406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's darling!&nbsp; Lovely fabric and looks nice and cool for a hot day.&nbsp; I do see an issue with button placement - anyone with above an A cup and it will gape open at the chest.&nbsp; Since the wide spaced buttons look like part of the design, you might want to sew some invisible snaps in the placket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100402 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:02:04 +0000 Neel 1100402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You made that?! Love the fabric choice and great pattern too! Would be cute with boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100395 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:52:24 +0000 joshbrodie 1100395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you. I love cotton poplin and retro vibe was so appealing. Purple is always a favourite colour too. </p> <p>In the midst of a second dress now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100391 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:46:30 +0000 carter 1100391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute fabric. I agree with Ceit, the waist detail is interesting. I really like the buttons and the cuff detail on the sleeves. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100378 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:21:48 +0000 joshbrodie 1100378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, I like the drawstring and casing. It gives it a lovely shape I thought. This is the first piece I've made pockets on too, which kinda made me all giddy haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100368 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:16:29 +0000 Anonymous 1100368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job on the dress! Looks like it would be cool for summer, and the waist detail is interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-help-feedback-and-advice#post-1100361 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:02:07 +0000 joshbrodie 1100361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it may be unusual but I really love making women's clothes. Not that I wouldn't make men's, I just love the options and versatility of ladies clothing. My main problem is that I am not a woman, so I'm not sure if what I'm making would ever appeal to an actual women who might wear it. </p> <p>I don't really want to make money via this as I'm currently doing a degree, but I would love the opportunity, not here, but to sell the clothes to fund my hobby.</p> <p>Anyway, to the point. I was wondering if I could post some of my handmade wears here and maybe get some feedback on how they look, suggestions on colours or design flaws etc. I make and sell a lot to friends mainly, who always love my stuff. Just wanted to get an outsiders view. Everyone here seems so knowledgeable.</p> <p>Rambling.</p> <p>Here goes, I made this vintage style dress shirt recently. I would appreciate all and any feedback.</p> <p>Happy thanksgiving, jb x </p>
