  • This was a lot of fun to make! I'm sorry if anything was confusing, it's a lot of information to put into 13 minutes.
    You can buy horsehair braid from etsy or ebay! It comes in all different widths and colors. Most Jo-ann stores stock the thin stuff (1/2" and 1") but the thicker type works better if you want really defined ruffles.

    I have really been wanting to make something using horsehair braid, but had no idea how to use it. Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial!

    You remind me of myself 15-20 years ago! I used to make all kinds of clothes and enjoyed being creative. I loved this tutorial. I've never worked with horsehair braid; maybe I will in the future.

    This is a very well-demonstrated tutorial but, as noted by several of the other comments, it assumes a great deal of sewing knowledge. The finished skirt, if cut as demonstrated, is unpractical in that it is so freakishly short and, where I live, would probably get me arrested for pandering, and cost me my job. For those intending to make a longer skirt, plan on using 60-inch fabric. It will make it much easier to get the length you need. If you need more instruction (and longer skirts!), I would recommend this book: "Sew What! Skirts: 16 Simple Styles You Can Make with Fabulous Fabrics". It explains all the math and sewing techniques very nicely, even for beginners.

      2DirtyDogs everyone has their preference, personally I loved the length and thought it was adorable, if its not for you she offers suggestions to add skirt length. With that said, anyone learning this craft should learn the "technical" terms, not only is the craft itself time consuming but explaining each stitch would double the time on the video. This is clearly not intended for beginners, beginners should begin with bows or pillow cases, not a fully lined skirt xD.

    Awesome job and what love and care put into your skirt. I'm making one similar this week - but carrying the Half-circle skirt to the floor. I've always installed invisible zippers and only once have I done it your way. I guess with the thickness of the fabrics - it made it easier for you.
    Thanks again for posting.

    This is the most adorable skirt I’ve ever seen!! 😍 I LOVE IT!! I’m not much of a skirt-wearer, but this makes me want to make my own so badly! Also, you look gorgeous and incredible in it! The fabric you chose is so pretty too. I bet I have enough fabric of a suitable weight and weave in my stash somewhere, I’d really just need to get horsehair and a zipper, which is very doable! You never cease to inspire me, thank you so much!! 💖

    • @lindadechow2212
      @lindadechow2212 6 років тому

      I had a thought as I was watching this again...why use your waist measurement for the circles and not just use your hip measurement? I know there is a reason for it, however I wanted to check with you to see if there was a specific reason. Thank you again.

    I don’t wear skirts much, and I’m not a fan of skirts shorter than calf length on myself; but I’m enthralled by how this skirt moves. I might have to have a crack at making one in my preferred length; it should move in a lovely way.

    @morganweber2582 8 років тому

    Other people have already probably mentioned this, but you do say to assemble the waistband outer fabric with wrong sides facing eachother, but I think you mean right sides? You do it with right sides facing in in the video. No biggie. But I love this video so very much! As always, you are ridiculously talented. This will be helpful for so many cosplayers too! Thank you so much Angela!

    • @AngelaClaytonCostumery

      +Morgan Weber Ahh I swear I watched this video through a dozen times and didn't catch that. Thanks for pointing it out - you're right, it's a mistake. I'll add in an annotation so people don't get confused. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the kind words!

    • @morganweber2582
      @morganweber2582 8 років тому

      It was probably because you did the french seams later which involved sewing the fabrics wrong-side to wrong side. :) I can't wait to use horsehair braid in my next pattern! Thank you as always for the peaceful and informative tutorial.

    Is the horse hair very apparent as there no lining inside?

    Great tutorial! I wonder if I could scale this approach up for a floor-length skirt? I really want to make a cosplay of Scarlett Overkill's crazy coronation dress and the dratted thing is shaped like a jello mold! It would certainly be less fraught than some of the other approaches I'm kicking around. :)

    Pro-tip for fusible interfacing, trim it back so that it sits just inside where the seam allowance is. This helps to keep your seams from being thick and also helps keep you from gunking up your machine, especially the needle.
