Designing My Dream Wedding Dress PART 2: Creating a Prototype and Making Pattern Adjustments
Welcome back to my wedding dress journey! 🤍🌸👰‍♀️
In this exciting Part 2, I’m diving into the hands-on process of turning my wedding dress design into a real-life prototype. Starting with the paper pattern, I show you step-by-step how I use real measurements to sketch out the bodice, create my custom bell-shaped skirt, and add the puffed bishop sleeve for that elegant, romantic touch. Watch as I transfer my design onto fabric, using an old bedsheet to test fit and flow before committing to the final materials.✨
In this video, you’ll see:
✨ Drafting and adjusting the pattern to ensure every detail matches my vision.
✨ Cutting, pinning, and stitching the prototype for a perfect fit.
✨ Making key adjustments to the neckline, open back, and train to bring my sketch to life.
If you missed Part 1, I recommend checking it out to see my inspiration and design notes that guided this stage. Be sure to subscribe and stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll shop for fabrics and start sewing the final dress!

    How would you incorporate an elastic material around the waist? How would that change your measurements to still get a snug look around the hips?

    • @gratus.studio.anjajaklin
      @gratus.studio.anjajaklin День тому

      Hello there, great questions, so I wouldn't incorporate an elastic material, I would just add an elastic band in the waist covered with the same material as the pants are... just like you have it in your PJs or sweatpants. 🌸 With that said, I would have to make the area around the hips whiter (usually it's nice to make it 1/3 bigger) so that then I would be able to add that elastic band and put the pants up and down. I hope that makes sense and that I explained it okey ☺️

    I think the last one is the best in terms of design and the lace will add elegance and I suggest addition of some pearls to bring the lace and the silhouette together adding a touch of fun too and pearls and lace are timeless. I think you can also add angel sleeves for a more angelic and beautiful effect and seriously I'm amazed that you created such wonderful designs.

      I think I will use Satin for the base of the dress - to give it a bit of shine and that beautiful flowy feel and Organza for the sleeves - for the sheer moment and contrast 🤍 I am really excited 🌸

    1. Dont use pins on certain fabrics like silk and aarin as they'll mark. Do you the clips. 2. Most patterns have a seam allowance but if you're copying a garment then do remember to add it on. 3. Whats she's talking about is tacking or basting - same thing just people use different words. There's no special thread, it's normal sewing cotton. Use something that contrasts so it's easier to see to remove and yes, for more difficuly seams like set in sleeves or slippy fabrics, tacking is very useful. Just remember to tack inside the seam allowance so you don't leave holes in silk and satin fabrics.

    This is extremely cool but my first thought was Toyota makes sewing machines?? Also just from doing a backstitch on the first row when you start you can just sew it straight and it will crinkle. (Sorry if I’m not making sense I’m just curious and don’t know the wording for it)

    • @gratus.studio.anjajaklin
      @gratus.studio.anjajaklin 4 місяці тому

      Haha yeah they do - funny right😅 and the fact that it is pink 🌸 yeah you can make a backstitch at the start and at the end of the link, or you can make it just at the start and then make this zig zag pattern and make the backstitch only at the end of the fabric. (I hope that makes sense)

    Блин, это было так мило и интересно, что даже захотелось подписаться :) Я немного умею пользоваться швейной машинкой. На этом мои полномочия окончены... Но теперь задумываюсь над тем, чтобы научиться шить не только кривые мягкие игрушки. Моя мама в семнадцать лет подрабатывала швеëй на дому. Может, я мог бы у неё научиться, у неё как раз есть всё для шитья, и даже журналы с выкройками должны были остаться

    To make it easier, you can put a piece of baking paper on top of the "fuzzy stuff" before you sew it. It can easily be removed when you've finished. Edit: Oh, I forgot to say: Great idea!
