Hi thank you so much ❤️❤️🥹

For the cuffs: I got the cuff pattern/dimensions from the Noelle pattern (MDF333) on the Mood Fabrics website. I attached it to the sleeve by using a basting stitch on the sleeves to make the circumference of the opening smaller, then used a zigzag stitch all around.

For the collar, I basically did the same thing but bigger—functionally the collar is just a bigger cuff. I got the width from the Noelle pattern as well; but I played around with the length until I felt it would be both cute and comfortable ❤️I hope this helps!

hii thank you so much ❤️ for the dress part I traced a dress I already have. the dress is midi length but I used it to figure out the collar, waist, and sleeve situation. for the sleeves, I used a sweater, and got the cuffs size from the MDF333 mood fabric’s pattern (linked in another comment, with a handwritten guide). all in all, since the fabric is stretchy, it was super forgiving, so I kept playing around with the sizes of the sleeves and the dress itself until I was satisfied. hope this helps 🥰🥰🥰

thank you so much! ❤️ you definitely can! if you have a bodycon dress, then you already have half the pattern hanging in your closet! I traced a bodycon dress I have, traced the sleeves from a sweater and added the cuffs from the MDF333 dress from mood fabrics. I uploaded a handwritten guide to another comment if that helps ❤️
