Ah, yes, Delusional Holliday Sewing. I try so hard to get my Halloween sewing done ahead of time, and I end up crunching it, too. Best sewing speed to you!
I really don’t think Dora is all that helpful 😊 she is however very cute. The pettycoat looks lovely. Remember to take care of yourself while madly sewing to get this all done for Halloween!!
You mentioned that is someone who cannot get on the floor to hem a dress / skirt, get a buddy. I don't have a buddy, but I can put the whole dress form mannequin with the outfit on it, on a table. It's a little heavy, but once it's on a table, I just sit on a chair and turn the mannequin around and hem my skirt. It saves my lower back. Hope that tip helps.
I'm so glad you didn't do the marker on white fabric method! That concept is as scary as any skeleton or spider to me 😆. I was wondering if some of the oddities in this dress were just because it was not on screen for long and they took shortcuts not realizing how iconic the dress would be and how people would be examining every detail. But then you showed how they made the black lines wider in the ruffle to match up with the fabric and that is definitely attention to detail!
I feel like, with as much detail as they put into this dress, they must have expected it to get sooo much more screen time. I feel bad for the people who worked on it, though I guess not super bad, since it has become so iconic!
Such an iconic dress when you consider that it only had 20 seconds of screen time. I suspect a lot ended up on the cutting room floor. So many of my favourite sewists/costume makers have made this dress, it would be epic if they could all get together for a fashion shoot, all wearing this dress. Impossible I know, but I can dream.
My mom would have me stand at the top of the stairs while she pinned my hems. She just sat a few steps lower. Really helps with mobility issues. If you don't have stairs, I would think putting it on a table would work.
My beautiful cat named Dora lived almost 15 years. I still miss her. My Dora never took "No" for an answer. I always had to stop what I was doing and hold her (until she wanted to do something else). The dress looks wonderful so far.
I think this is a great idea (the time crunch not so much, but you sew faster than I do)! Other ideas for leveling the hem that's not sitting on the floor: put dress form on a table (coffee table works too!), or at the top of the stairs - so you can sit on the stairs below it. 💜
I wonder if maybe the reason that it wasn’t a double ruffle was bc the overskirt wasn’t originally meant to be bustled/polonaised up like that, so there would be no point doing a double ruffle. Same with the little bit of white at the top showing in the back. If the overskirt was down that wouldn’t be visible at all
Hello Dora😺. It's nice to see you 😊. Thank you for gracing us with your presence 😺. Yes it's nice to see and hear fabric being ripped😁. It makes my pesky ornery soul ridiculously happy😊. Enter Mr.Lion for his close up🐕.🧚♂️ 🧚🧚♀️.
Love the Dora and Lion assistance! Your petticoat turned out great. I like how you did yours. I wouldn’t have the patience to draw the stripes personally.
I think my OCD would tell me to take a sharpie to the white stitching over the black stripes on the hem of the ruffles Also I probably would have attached the ruffles together at the side seams.
Yay! I really want to make this dress. This dress and Rose's boarding suit are my childhood dream dresses. As a young girl I wanted these outfits and drew them several times. Mom, rightfully, did not trust me with any sharp sewing implements until I was around 13 and by then I wasn't interested in sewing. Now 36 I am trying to build my dream wardrobe. When you posted a couple weeks ago and hinted to this dress I literally happy danced. I knew you'd make a beautiful and interesting version. While I love Rachel Maksey's version where she drew her lines I really am thinking about buying this fabric. I think I'd make a mess out of drawing lines or dye myself like a zebra. I can't wait to see how you do the bodice. It looks so complicated and I don't know how to figure the up sizing cause I too am not as petite as Christina Ricci.
The bodice itself really hasn't been that bad, but I'm cutting out the sleeves today, and I'm going to attempt to get those wonderful chevrons, so wish me luck! I think this dress is totally more accessible/feasible when you make it with the striped fabric. If I remember correctly from Rachel's video, she realized that too, and switched her fabric. Only Christine seems to have had the patience to draw them all on!
Love your cute furry supervisors. I'll give you the being sick since I've been dealing with a cold/sinus infection also. I love how you find ways if doing your own version of these iconic dresses but on a budget. I think your versions always turn out better than the original ones.
Am excited for the next chapter of this project. Love seeing Lion and Dora. Please look after yourself with the time crunch. Sending best wishes from Down Under 🥰🌺🌸🌼💐😎🇦🇺
I just though that in order to mimic the ruffle effect from the movie, you would have to seam any other black strip so the white ones join together and that way you would be able to gather it and matche it with the skirt. But I reconize that is way too much work and it will a lot more fabric to do so. 😬
Oooh, i love that dress and im so happy u are doing your version! Cant wait to see it completed. Thanks to Dora for being such a good helper, and to Lion for just being so darn cute! ❤❤❤
Thank you for finally making this on the semi easy. I have wanted to see it just out of a black and white stripe. Can't wait to see the final project. You're the best ❤
Skirt looks great and the ruffles look awesome. Still trying to get my head around thinking about those poor wardrobe people sitting there with sharpies ruling those stripes on the material. Sounds like a migraine of a job.
im so SO excited to watch you create this dress. i love all your work, and i really want to start making my own historical costumes. this dress is seriously a childhood dream of mine its just so beautiful, so im thrilled to get to see your version.
I;m just starting my Katrina dress so its super handy that you're 5'10" so I know my height at 5'11" before shoes won't be so far off and your logic on the ruffles is really helpful can't wait to start making the skirt and a bum pad to gie the skirt the fullness in the back to support all the drapery
It always makes me so sad that somebody had to spend probably weeks of their life hand-coloring in all those lines for the dress in the movie and it only appeared for 30 seconds. They should have been finding any excuse possible to show off that work of art!
I have to admit I never watched the movie (shame on me for not supporting such a famous Hesse export, I know), therefore I have no connection to the dress. I have however already seen the versions of Sewstine (historical and movie) and Rachel Maksy and I would just as you said love to have some sort of panel with all the Costubers who made the dress, talking about how they made theirs, the similarities and differences and such... should be very interesting.

@@LadyRebeccaFashions Exactly! The dress has a whole new life!
Also nothing better than pet footage, love them.
8:37 "it would be good to do this with a friend..." (Insert cat friend/fiend) Such purrfect timing!
Oh goodness, Dora being the helpfullest helper in the history of helping! And Lion!
Suddenly I'm thinking of putting ruffles on a Coquelicot skirt.
Excellent and Dora is clearly a purrfect helper
Saw the notice and immediately said whaaaaaat? Are you a mad woman?
Lol, pretty much! 😂

I honestly wonder if it is the most iconic dress that has the least amount of screen time. And also, I love that idea!
I love that Dora just popped up as soon as you said to have an assistant. She is such a good girl.
I think she also knew I was sitting on the floor! 😉

As a floor challenged sewist, I was just coming over to recommend the edge of the stairs.
@@karladenton5034 Stairs are good at so much more than just changing levels! Glad other's have the same conclusion as me! 😄
When I'm pinning a hem in, I put my dressform (I'm short!) up on a table so I don''t have to crawl around on the floor.
Good luck, not that you need it, you will rock it.
I wonder if maybe the reason that it wasn’t a double ruffle was bc the overskirt wasn’t originally meant to be bustled/polonaised up like that, so there would be no point doing a double ruffle. Same with the little bit of white at the top showing in the back. If the overskirt was down that wouldn’t be visible at all
I think that's a pretty good hypothesis! Or at least maybe not pulled up as high as it was.
Yay! Galloping on through so far. Best of luck with the deadline!
Thanks! Trying on sleeves today, and once those are done, it will at least be wearable!
Hello Dora😺. It's nice to see you 😊. Thank you for gracing us with your presence 😺. Yes it's nice to see and hear fabric being ripped😁. It makes my pesky ornery soul ridiculously happy😊. Enter Mr.Lion for his close up🐕.🧚♂️ 🧚🧚♀️.
Blue dress, square neck, looks beautiful on you.

I love how everyone knows the dress you're talking about so much so you don't even have to say haha. Love these videos ❤
I like the way you did the ruffles can’t wait to see the rest
Have to add, yesss please, to more projects like this!!!
Another thing you can do if you can’t get on the floor is to set your mannequin on a table. Dora is adorable.
I love that dress! I can't wait to see your version.

The manikin's own "dress" with the orange top and teal waist detail is already so cute. lol
I know, I was definitely enjoying that combo in my sewing room!

Great job, you inspired me to make something striped.
Stripes are so great!
Am excited for the next chapter of this project. Love seeing Lion and Dora. Please look after yourself with the time crunch. Sending best wishes from Down Under 🥰🌺🌸🌼💐😎🇦🇺
This looks great, I like what you decided to do where the single ruffle and double ruffles meet.
I just though that in order to mimic the ruffle effect from the movie, you would have to seam any other black strip so the white ones join together and that way you would be able to gather it and matche it with the skirt. But I reconize that is way too much work and it will a lot more fabric to do so. 😬
Love this.
Thanks!

Wonder if the front back differences were caused by multiple seamstresses making the dress
I wouldn't think so. Probably just an odd design choice.
Perhaps the plain side panels were because the skirt was too narrow and needed ti be inlarged
My thought it that maybe it wasn't expected to be seen from the side? Not sure...
Looks great so far!
Thanks!
You're welcome!@@LadyRebeccaFashions

Right? At least, despite the limited screen time, it's become one of the most iconic movie costumes of all time.
I will be watching if you line the bodice with white or try to match up stripes between the layers
My lining is just white twill. No sense wasting the stripey fabric!
Yes Dora, we see you. And the more rare Lion sighting! Hello, furry friends!
"I bought this fabric" - why have a dog and bark yourself? A wise choice to let someone else do the hard work!
"Why have a dog and bark yourself" ---never heard this saying before but I love it!!
@@wangofree Oh, I wonder if it's an English-ism? I use it all the time!
I have to admit I never watched the movie (shame on me for not supporting such a famous Hesse export, I know), therefore I have no connection to the dress.

That would probably be a really interesting panel!
