Question: do you have a place where you keep all of your creations? If so could we maybe have a tour? Love your videos btw:)
She puts them in her attic
a few summers ago I built a place to store them all in my attic! I've got to clean it up a bit, but I'd be down to doing a little tour sometime :)
Question, will the code for Boksu work at other places like £ bc since she said it take 15$, I wondering
I can’t ruin the likes in this comment also totally agree I think there so be tours so people could admire the beauty of her creations
@@crescentshay cool
You didnt just make Effie’s look, you made a recreation of an Alexander McQueen look!!!! And those dresses are so intricate and it’s expensive! You made it absolutely perfect!!!
Im definitely gonna make an 1890s version of this look with flat butterflies climbing up the dress skirt and whole 3D butterflies on the sleeve puffs and in the wig.
"...a recreation of an Alexander McQueen" Exactly! And that in itself is no small feat. It's just lovely. And using a glue gun with such tiny pieces. Yikes.
@@Lint_Julep I’d love to make this look too but I dont think I can find a thousand or so butterflies so I might make a gown with monarch butterflies on it made of rhinestones since those are sparklier and Im like a magpie for sparkles.
im sure it'll turn out good, it sounds like a really cool idea
gluing little paper butterflies to my face might be my new makeup look
become one with the butterfly
@@user-ge1fz2fh3fButterflies are cannibals. Become one with the cannibals.
@@LopsideMakes become one with the cannibals.
Shay, your artistry and love for it is so inspiring! What a beautiful result 🦋🫶🏽✨
Hi!!
Truly amazing
omg hi i love your vids
I love how you take on fun challenges and are so upbeat! I use to sew my own clothes when I was younger (many moons ago) but life gets in the way sometimes. I just retired and find that I have time to rediscover many of the crafts that I use to enjoy. There are also a lot of crafts that I'm just learning about also. There are so many resources now! It's almost like my life was black & white and is now in color. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Yo this real a real heart moment! 🥹🫢😊💛 good for u! Nd yea there’s always a chance for everyone to do what they want
Great job! Love the enthusiasm. On a history note, this is a look from "her" S/S 2011 collection. McQueen died on February 11, 2010, and that collection was Sarah Burton's first full collection as creative director of McQueen. So you made a look from a female designer! Win!
This is absolute art! I'm sure Alexander McQueen had a TEAM of people working on that dress, you did it all yourself! Just astonishing 💙
How can you just be like
“I want it I make it”
Your videos make me google “fabric store near me”
Edit: MOM DAD SISTER BROTHER IM FAAAAMOUS
omg this is the best type of comment - definitely give it a shot!!! I have no formal sewing trailing - it's all just trial and error and learning from your failures!
@@crescentshay thanks, I wanted to try sowing for a couple of years now I only know how to sow by hand I think I might try it in a couple of days :D
@@crescentshay ikr that is me to trying to make a good drees
Agreed this UA-cam channel makes me want to start and make a lot of dresses, A lot of inspiration!
@@minkamousner Same, if she can do this then I surely can make myself an okay dress.....right? lolol
I absolutely love this dress!!! I think that few months was so worth it!!! You have inspired me to make dress designs/make dresses inspired from others! Thank you :]
It's a little too late now, but if you ever have any future big hot glue projects, I've been there with my own feathers! Tip - getting some heat proof gloves are super worth it to save yourself fully burnt fingers 😭
This is so perfect! It came out so well! Serious props for all the hard work.
In a bizarre twist, I actually have a McQueen sample dress from around this period, it's satin but has all the pen markings from being put together to test out the concept - and it has that exact same tapered-to-extra-wide-bell shape!
Omg I wish I could see this 🥺
Buckram is SUCH a great fabric for more structural (and impractical HAHA) things like this!! It turned out great!
Excellent work! Your butterfly dress is stunning! Effie would approve. I have some gorgeous monarch butterfly fabric that I had planned to make a retro 50's dress inspired by Effie's ensemble (complete with headpiece & 3-D butterflies). It has been sitting in my stash for longer than I care to admit. Your video has lit a fire under me & inspired me to get to work on my own creation.
The best:
Outfits - Hunger games
Editing - Harry Potter
Humour - Guardians of the Galaxy
Little details - Wednesday
Christmas movie - The Christmas Chronicles
You always amaze me with both the skill of your outfits but also the speed of how you continuously make new creations!
I love that you decorate the scene where you talk to us depending on what the craft was
This is without a doubt my favourite of all the things you have made, its absolutely incredible and the faithfulness to the original is just - perfection! I was so excited to see you made a longer form video on it!
I love her energy so much ❤❤ she’s also so talented
The dress is absolutely stunning!! The dedication you have when creating different dresses, outfits and costumes is so admirable and I adore the creativity you have.
I'd be very interested to see you recreate one of your old creations to see the improvement you made 🤩
I was wondering, if you haven’t already, make a video explaining on how you got in to fashioning design and dress making? That would be amazing! You are my idol!
The dress looks so good! I love how you captured the patterns of the original and the little heart. :) Can't wait to see the next wonderful thing you make.
This is the type of costume that you change into at the event! 🤣 It turned out soo good
OH MY GOD EFFIE IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER AND YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB!
Imagine just being in public and seeing this masterpiece.
You’re so talented!!! The dress came out great!!! It was one of my favorite Effie dresses too. Great job!!!!
Seeing you spin in those shoes at the end had my ankles quaking in fear 😂
What a stunning dress and piece of art! I love your dedication to all your projects-. You really do give them 110% - and it shows 💗
You are so resourceful! This is amazing!
This is so absolutely beautiful and amazing, loved seeing the process. It absolutely baffles me how people can just make stuff like this, the make up, hair piece and butterfly wings on your arms and face as final details really made it come together fully. Keep it up!
You’re a creative genius!✨ I am also a huge fan of Effie’s butterfly dress & I love how deep you looked into the original & replicated it with such detail
This is by far the most impressive dress you've made!!! I'm so amazed and happy you were able to pull it off! Those patterns are not easy to follow and tricky to spot with the eye.
I love the outcome of this beautiful dress! Keep up the amazing work and creativity :)
Thank you for posting this hunger games is my favorite movie!
oh my you are so fun and crazy talented. I adore all your creations! and watching your videos with a great pleasure.
Thank you so so so much for this video!! Im making an effie dress for comic con and/or halloween and this is really going to help me
Amazing dress! I esp loved the edit flashing between u and the movie at 9:40
whenever i watch you i just burst into smiles because i dont know.
Literally living the dream 😭😭😭✋
This video cheered me up since I love sewing or making clothes for myself but also because Effie's dress is so memorable, I think it's one if not, my favourite when it comes to modern movies. It encapsulated Effie's personality, bubbly, selfless, kind and courageous, trying to put on a smile even in the most sad situations.
I was obsessed with this dress since the moment I saw it and I haven't seen your video yet, but I can already see on the thumbnail that it turned out perfectly - you're so talented!! 😭💗
✨I love your videos!! And the dress looks amazing! I hope you have a amazing day!!!💖💗✨
ah thank you! 💕
Definitely my favorite dress from her
Came across your channel as I was trying to find ideas for Effie and love it. I appreciate the way you share your artistry so that others can also learn and be a part of the joy. I had to subscribe 😊. You have a beautiful future ahead.
The dress is so cute ❤
I've seen this video a cupple days ago and I said "wow cut dress"
Now I just finished watching the hunger games and I said "that's were the dress comes from"
so gorgeous!! and I love knowing the estimated wings haha and those shoes SLAP!! so adorable!
You waxing poetically about your discovery of floral butterflies is very endearing
OMG please make more videos like this one, it was very interesting
When I fist saw Effie's dress i was amazed, and seeing somebody recreate it just makes me happy and youre to talented and creative, I really really admire you :)
your the best fashion designer i have ever seen 😮
I think side zips might have worked better than a back zip, but it came out beautifully. Also, zip tie boning is genius!
I absolutely ADORE this dress! You did an amazing job!
The dress looks gorgeous. You are so talented. Amazing work!
Honestly, I’m pretty surprised nowadays that other people use Ali Baba too, it’s pretty great when it comes to prices. The dress ended up being absolutely STUNNING! I love it so much and your videos!
Oh wow, you did an excellent job in recreating the butterfly dress. Congratulations.
Your energy is soooo lovely!
I love this!!!! Esp the butterflies you put on your face and eyes! They look beautiful! Ingenious idea and I'm so glad you got the butterflies disassembled so you didn't have to cut them. It's a work of art! Was it roughly 1,000 whole butterflies or 1,000 halves ? Amazing I love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, it's so interesting and your videos are so full of interesting information and genuine creative talent and ideas - you are a true artist and this is true artistry - like no other! Never change 💕💖💕💗
it was 1000 butterfly wings, so 1000 halves! I bought 1000 full butterflies so i ended up sending the other half to another artist who wanted to make her own dress!
@@crescentshay Oh that's so lovely! Of course you did, you are the loveliest and most talented artist who's so creative in all different directions- of course you'd do that and share opportunities with others! Thank you for also actually giving us numbers and details and genuinely good advice about sewing and about your projects/artworks - it's so helpful amd fascinating! Everything! Everything you make is so unique and works really well- you definitely have a natural skill and eye for it, and I love how uniquely stylish you are too, esp when you make strawberry shortcake or tomato inspired outfits hehe I've never come across anyone else who does things like that, you make me want to make a strawberry beret! 🍓💕 I love watching your videos - thank you so much for replying 😊 It's really interesting to know! Xxxx
THIS is my favorite you’ve done yet! 💕💕💕
I absolutely love this dress I have a cousin who would love this dress she loves butterflies, I have to find a job before I can get her anything like this or your boxes , but first things first I need eye surgery!!!! I absolutely love your videos ❤
I'm always so impressed by your creations
It’s such a cool dress and the pattern is neat!
I love butterflies 🦋
You should make a dress shop because your dresses are amazing 🤩
this is absolutely amazing, the talent required to make tis kind of this is unblievable!!!!
No butterfly’s where harmed in this video
I love your sense of creativity and glee. Makes day bright. Every Instagram post is glorious.
I have no words the dres is 💫gorgeous 💫
Next time you need to glue something to cloth you can use a fabric glue and just a small amount of hot glue. The hot glue will hold it in place for the fabric glue to dry. The fabric glue is flexible.
i’ve been waiting for this vid!! 😍 i’m amazed by your talent
Hey shay, thank you so much for creating content for us to watch. I love the hunger games and your dress looks so good! If you have ever heard of the serafina series I am trying to get the part of her in the movies. Now after watching your videos and learning how to make a dress my neighbor and I are starting making her dress! Now thanks to watching your videos the author now knows about me and wants to see me in my dress and I know I would not be able to do this with out you so to say the least THANK YOU!
Those crayon earrings are so cute!
You are so creative and talented. I expect you to become a movie costume designer where you will shine! Are you going to college for design?
I was really wondering if she could sit in this so im glad she addressed it!
You and your videos are a breath of fresh air. Love ya
Hi Shay! I just wanted to thank you for inspiring my halloween costume if 2023, you did such an amazing job i was very inspired. My mom made me my dress so i wanted to credit her aswell. I am also a really big Hunger Games fan, like you! Thank you so much Shay! ❤
The butterfly dress is so beautiful and stunning i cant imagine how youd make a masterpiece. And you kind of look like Emma Stone, youre very beautiful.
You're sooooooo cute! And the dress is amazing!)
She's back! Amazing dress like always 😍 ❤ keep it up please!
found your channel yesterday and i've been bing watching your videos, you're so creative and i love the calm vibe you show.
That dress is awsome! You did such a good job
She was obsessed with it six years ago, me now obsessed with it 6 months after this video comes out
i love the butterflies on your wall. that’s so cute
haha after making this dress had a bunch extra and I didn't want them to go to waste!
@@crescentshay they gotta go somewhere haha
I'm a guy and not into fashion. But when I read the books I found the fashion part of it quite interesting. In the acknowledgement the author wrote that she isn't interested in fashion but had some help by a person. I think the reason why I found it interesting and even was looking forward on how the movie writers interpret the dresses was because the author is not really interested in fashion.
I think the movie one looks a bit more 3D because they used bigger butterflies and the ones sticking out covered a bit of a wider area on the movie dress. But yours is a bit more colorful. As a whole it is a very pretty dress and a well edited video. :)
I remember seeing during Halloween someone who made the same dress and apparently I was the first person to get the dress correct.
This turned out so great! Love it. 😍😍
I love it so much! Great work
"I don't have magic fire" she says
Yeees I’ve miffed you so much! On the theme of hunger games can you do katniss’ dress from the interview in catching fire???
Edit: of course without the fire lol
Love your videos! So excited for your new projects!
Shay u really have a mind of an artist
“THAT IS MAHOGANY”

It is fashionable I love this dress and all the dresses you make are fabulous

The stiff material you spoke about just saved me a headache trying to figure out how to make the six costumes
