  • This is the second video of a series. I explain how I made my petticoats for a ballgown dress. This was a project for college. This is not a tutorial.
    My fabric choices include polyester organza and cotton twill. I used an elliptical hoopskirt to give it shape.

    I worked many years in the wedding industry, I have made so many petticoats in my life, I would use 20 yards of stiff petticoat netting, 60 inches wide, I would cut the 60 inch wide fabric into 4 equal width of 15 inches, I would pleat each of the 20 yard lengths in one half inch pleats, around 3 inches apart, this amount of pleated material would make two layers of finished petticoat. I would make a simple drawstring slip, the yoke was 10 inches wide and the first row of finished ruffles was attached , then the second row stitched, then the third , two three tier layers would come out of the 20 yards. This petticoat was super full , perfect for a Wedding gown or Ballgown, I hope this will help give you an idea, l saw a petticoat made this way from a Mexican Bridal Shop in 1985,

    This is beautiful and exactly what I'm about to build. But, I have a couple questions.
    1. How long were the circle skirts? You said there was a 6" difference between them. Did you make them 6, 12, and 18"?
    2. You mention two tiers in the under layer and three in each of the top. Do you mean there's 8 layers at the hem?
    3. You mention 9 yards a few times over. Did you put the same amount in all of the circle skirts? With the different tiers having different circumferences, this would change the gather density.
    4. The ruffles seem to be starting at different heights from the ground. Did you allot for the extra length needed for the long gathered layer as the twill to ruffle layer grew with volume?

    Hi. I'm a sewer and I've been watching this video for a while. I want to make the Cinderella costume from the live action. But I don't know how to make a ball gown petticoat like how it was in the movie. I was wonder if you could give more details on this petticoat because it's exactly what I need.

    • @millie6783
      @millie6783 4 роки тому

      hi! so i have looked at loads of reference pictures from on set and I can tell you. Just a heads up that if you are going to make a crinoline to dance in, it needs to be more rounded than elliptical otherwise it will bash into the front of your legs. So, the first petticoat is made of godets which are basically triangles with a curve, circle skirts and ruffles. the second layer is chiffon circle skirts and the third is white organza circle skirts, both of which have frills at the bottom. I think that's the right order but there are pictures online of each part i think

    It's looking so beautiful (and fluffy)! I didn't realize how much fabric would go into this, and the knowledge required to work with the organza. I'm excited to see what comes next. :D

    I never knew how much fabric goes into one of these! a peticoat is a project I wanted to do for some time! I like the tips you have. I would have never thought of doing a roll hem in an overlocker or use an overlocker for the ruffles! fantastic tips! how long did it take you to construct this? would this work without the hoop skirt?

    • @AshHeaven
      @AshHeaven 6 років тому

      realityabyss I know that an overlocker often makes it easier to finish edges, but since I do not have one or know how to use one, I never really gave much thought to the possible implications. *-*

  • @meaghanmueller

    Just curious, you gathered 9 yards of white organza into each tier so how much gold organza did you gather into the bottom of the white organza?

  • @Kiwi.Shampoo
    @Kiwi.Shampoo 7 років тому +9

    This is remarkable! I do have a question though, is it three separate "skirts" with different tiers, or is it one "skirt with the organza layers sewn in the three different spots? I couldn't tell :]

    • @joemama8543
      @joemama8543 7 років тому

    • @homestuckgarbage3324
      @homestuckgarbage3324 6 років тому

      Vane Draws I’ve also been thinking of doing something like this, but I have one question. Would seeing the three skirts together onto one waist band work? Or would it be easier to leave them seperate?

    • @bun04y
      @bun04y 6 років тому

      that is a lot of weight for one waist. In my experience as a costume designer putting that much weight onto one waistband can cause it to cut into the wearer. Also having the petticoats separate makes it more versatile for other uses.

    Interesting thank you so much for these tips I will have to give polyester organza a try. I often find tulle is too light to have much form often needing a lot which isn't very cost effective, and petticoat netting is a bit stiff for my liking I will have to find this material.
