  • I have always felt inspired by Charles James and his Petal dresses and wanted to create a dress with a historical twist - so here is a little insight into my work on it.

    Not only is your dressmaking gorgeous, but your filming / editing skills are impressive as well ! I love how you show us the extent of work that goes into such a beautiful piece, and I hope you will find time and interest in the future to do more videos, this is just stunning and a very lovely video to watch !

    the magic of the youtube algorithm brought me here, and i’m so glad! what a fantastic first video, it’s clear that you’re very experienced and talented. (also, the explanations are clear - love the bit about the understructures, people really don’t talk about that aspect of couture-style dressmaking enough - and the editing is very soothing). looking forward to seeing more of your work!

I would absolutely love it if you continued to make these videos.

It's not a private school and it's full of professors that just don't have time to explain what you actually have to do when sowing... I'm 17 and i don't now how to sowing, school just can't teach me well pass by pass. I'm not going to explain the all situation but that's it. With this video i saw that u have the right instruments and materials to sow, so im learning just by this video. Thank you ❤️
