So excited for this dress!! Nick Cave (the vampire himself) has been my favourite artist for about 15 years, so I was all over the TVW when it launched and even wore the Sky Rocket Dress in pink as my wedding dress. It just so happens that his wife and I both like extremely beautiful dresses and she started making them, lol. I'd never worn anything with French bust darts before and immediately noticed how much they flatter the bust and sit so well over it (I'm a DD so it's not uncommon for things to not fit right in that area) so I definitely think they're utilised in a lot of her designs. I've got another (cotton) TVW dress I bought on sale and also leapt on the H&M collab they did several years back so I've got a few pieces in my wardrobe but obviously the crown jewel is the Sky Rocket. Also yes, it is deeply unhinged to toile a pattern with Liberty silk, but I love that for you! Really looking forward to seeing the final design & the dress you make for the tutorial!
Oh wow, thank you for this lovely comment and the rundown of your Susie Cave love story 💜 It’s amazing you wore the sky rocket to your wedding, it’s such a beauty! I’m sure you were the most fashionable statement bride.
I love the different variations you can do with this pattern. I could even adjust the sleeves to be 3/4 or long and fuller if I wanted. Excellent design and very classic yet modern. ❤👍
I really enjoy watching your design process. Would you consider making a video one day on how to transform a regular dart to a curved dart and showing why a curved dart is so much more flattering? I think that would be really interesting. Just a thought. Incase you ever run out of ideas for videos i mean...! 😁
Great suggestion, thank you! I have done a bodice modification video before, I could definitely do one again showing how to draft this type of dart. I'll keep it in mind! :)
This dress is so gorgeous! I think if I had to chose only one dress from all between you already did in your videos, this would be my number one for sure! Keep doing this great work, I love to watch your videos, congrats from Brazil!
Oh, thank you so much! ☺️ I'm glad you like it! It's currently with my pattern testers, but I am hoping to release the pattern by end of March latest :)
YES! YES YES YES!!! i am HERE for this! listen - no, hear me out: I NEED THIS WITH FULL LENGTH SKIRT!!! we're talking princess-of-wales-pink-vampire-dress-moment-in-belize LOL that's what i want to make for my friend's wedding in june, but with the sleeker arm option, so... pretty please? haha so excited for this project, your design vlogs are my fav videos!!! have a great week
Yesss, love to hear it! The pattern will have the mini and midi options included, but extending the skirt to make it full length will be super easy! The pattern will launch in a few weeks from now, so you will have plenty of time to make it for the wedding :)
Hi, I am a beginner in sewing. Your videos helped me a lot, like creating a basic bodice. Please show us some videos to create a basic skirt block from which we can customise dresses. A beautiful dress from you as always😍🥰
I love your vlogs and those lovely dresses you design. Incidentally I made a version of the VWD based on your previous tutorial when you used that berry coloured fabric (cord I think). I changed the neckline to v-neck as it suits me better and also used Liberty silk and am very happy with it. I am looking forward to more vlogs.
I am so excited to hear this! I love the silhouette of the Vampire's Wife dresses. I love that Affliction Dress and the Confessional Dress that is very close to it in appearance. I would most definitely purchase this pattern from you. I am currently working on a knock off of the Falconetti dress and I want to make many more knockoffs of the different Vampire's wife dresses. I am having some problems getting the fitting issues correct on my knock off, but I hope I am close.
Thank you, and love to hear you are already working on your own version :) It's a beautiful staple silhouette. Should yours not work out, you know where to find the pattern! :)
I'm excited for this pattern, I was about to draft it based on your previous video. Can you share where you got the blue floral fabric you hate😂? Because I love me a blue floral.
I find these designing videos fascinating. I love the high collar/ neckline of this dress because it’ll lengthen my 159 cm 😅. Do you think this pattern would work in a cotton velvet, I haven’t tried shirring on velvet before. I was thinking of making a navy or purple velvet or micro-cord Ophelia for the end of the year … but now I am torn between that and this upcoming pattern 😊
Definitely yes to the cotton velvet! The pattern is beautiful because it works in virtually any fabric, except maybe knit. So you can go wild with your imagination!
Would you consider making any dresses similar to the new Sézane dresses that came out this spring? Like the Reneka or Dorotha? Maybe even a blouse like the Alvere or emma? 😊
Hi! :) I definitely would - the Reneka reminds me of Georgias Portfolio's George dress, the neckline is very similar. I like the bodice of Dorotha dress, I will keep it in mind. Thanks for the ideas! :)
Hi! That's a reasonable suggestion - I do have a front dart in the skirt of my Ophelia dress, and I understand what it does. I am currently in the test phase of this pattern and will see how the skirt fits for the bigger sizes :)
Love these videos and enjoy your content! I’m curious what difference the curvy dart makes versus the straight as a busty woman I’m intrigued by darts.
Thank you, I appreciate that! These darts are really a bit of a magic ingredient. I am currently in the testing phase of the pattern, so we will find out how they work for bustier women.

Thank you, and agreed, there is so much you will be able to do with this pattern eventually :) Next steps coming soon!
I enjoy your sewing creativity and videos ❤ I also sew and I’m making 3-4 skirts because I love a midi skirt. And dresses. 🥰@@ThrillsandStitches
I can't wait to watch the tutorial 😍 I'm in love with this short version. That fabric does look very elegant.
Thank you! 😊 It’s in the testing phase right now, so more updates to come!

Es sieht arg bezaubernd aus.
Hut ab vor so viel Talent und Kreativität.
Bin arg gespannt wie es in lang aussieht.
Dankeschön, freut mich dass es dir gefällt 🖤
Wow, the dress looks so so so stunning! The fabric is gorgeous, I absolutely understand why you're obsessed with it!
Thank you so much 🥰

Hi Felicia, thank you and yes, I will note that tutorial request down :)
So so excited about this! Thank you for making it. I’m not on Instagram but may steal my husband’s phone to throw my name in the hat for this! ❤
I love to hear it! I will do the tester call within the next couple of days, maybe even tomorrow :)
That bodice is fantastisch! I would make the smok at the sleeves a little bit skinnier. ❤
Thank you so much :) Yes that's very easy to to do and up to taste, glad you like the rest of the dress :)
Again, the dress looks super gorgeous! Personally, I love the full length version.
Thank you! I can’t wait to get to making the longer version
A sophisticated dress. I agree with you about the up close look at the dress. From a distance it is very sophisticated. Lovely pattern.
Thank you! :)
I love your vlogs and those lovely dresses you design. Incidentally I made a version of the VWD based on your previous tutorial when you used that berry coloured fabric (cord I think).

Love to hear you were able to make a dress based on my previous videos on this dress design! I will keep these vlogs coming :)
Lovely dress. Thanks for sharing your design process; it's really interesting to watch.
Thank you! 😊
Well done
Thank you!

Love the dress and love the video format.
Yay, thank you!
I'm excited for this pattern, I was about to draft it based on your previous video. Can you share where you got the blue floral fabric you hate😂? Because I love me a blue floral.
Oh, perfect timing then! :) The pattern should be live in a few weeks from now. The fabric with the turquoise undertone was from Minerva Fabrics!
Beautiful dress.
Thank you so much 🖤
soooo gorgeous!! I cannot wait to buy this pattern from your etsy shop :)
Thank you so much, I can't wait to ship it! It will go live in a couple of weeks :)

Beautiful dress. Just one question. Would you consider putting darts on the front skirt for fuller hipped girls ❤
Hi! That's a reasonable suggestion - I do have a front dart in the skirt of my Ophelia dress, and I understand what it does. I am currently in the test phase of this pattern and will see how the skirt fits for the bigger sizes :)

You are so talented! Just wonderinh what make and model of sweing do you use?
Thank you so much! I use the Brother Innov-is A16, it's a good computerised beginner machine.
