Always such a delight to sit here with my morning coffee and watch a new Frieda video. One of my favourite things about tulle - NO SEWN HEM. My favourite trick to gathering - doing a zigzag stitch over top of a strong, heavy thread so that the heavy one is caught underneath the zigzags. I find that way i never snap the finer thread when gathering in the fabric. I very much enjoy your journey, Frieda, and i am so grateful you share it with us.
That’s an amazing tip for gathering! I usually just do it with the machine on tulle since it’s so light, but with thicker fabric I always do it by hand, so I’ll definitely try out this technique! Thank you 🥰 and I’m happy you enjoyed the video!
It works even better if you have a pintuck foot because the channels for the tucks keep the chord from moving around and you only need to watch your seam allowance.
I use the same technique, using either quilting thread or even dental floss. But I'm only making Halloween costumes, not elegant evening or bridal wear.
Sadly I don't quite understand this trick yet. Do you do a straight stitch with a heavy thread and then on top a zigzag? Or only a zigzag with the top thread being out of a heavy thread? Would be great to know! Thanks 🙏
I think I share the feelings of all the comments below - from the relaxing music and voice with a cup of coffee to learning something new or confirming my ways of sewing. You make me slow down and enjoy the process. Sharing is the way to go - we owe it to each other as humans. Thank you!
Your pieces are so ethereal & elegant!🌞 And your music and voice are so relaxing! I love the natural sounds of cutting and measuring. And, the editing is as sublime as always!
This is wonderful! I'm making my own wedding dress and skirt 3 was exactly what I needed to finalise my patterns, thank you so much for posting this. Also your voice and the music backing this video are both so relaxing!
i think the biggest piece of this was Bridal Tulle rather than craft sewing tulle. it wont ever drape the same way and materials are almost more important than the process, especially when the concept is circles or 2D patterns
This is an EXCELLENT training video. I’ve not made a tulle skirt previously but would LOVE to have your notes or written directions for #2 if you’d be willing to share. The skirt I’ll be making for a September Bride. Thank you Frieda!!
i've been eyeing the morning haze dress as inspiration for my DIY wedding gown, and i'm so grateful you posted your process so that i don't have to go through all the trial and error! so excited to get sewing :)
i really like your voice it's very mild,calm,relaxing,and the way your video was put together is like the way you meticulously put the fabric together. i love it❤
I love tutorials, and yours are also work of art. I learn the best by looking under other people's hands, and this is pure joy. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank you! I love to watch other people work as well, so I always try to make the videos how I would enjoy them... And I'm happy so many people like it that way, too!
@@BlueBobbin designed and made wedding dress for last 50 years … take your time and you need patience especially with making a tulle dress .. and always make mock up of the dress in cotton fabric first so any mistakes and some alterations can be made on the mock-up
I look forward to any content you make! You have an amazing quality and superb aesthetic to all of your creations and video editing that is superior to a lot of other channels and it just compels me to watch such talent. All three skirts are fantastic!!!
I have watched this video fully 4 times! I love the ethereal looks, the 3rd one is my favorite! Of course, each one is beautiful. I enjoy and appreciate the very detailed tutorial. I think your style of " teaching" is excellent for someone who doesn't make such delicate items, normally. I also want to sincerely, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I was able to use this video to make my Niece her prom dress. I was able to use your teachings to make a dress handed down ( she didn't want to add to wasted clothing. She chose to add a little bit, to make it her style. It turned out lovely. With sincere gratitude for you sharing your amazing talents 😊, Audri
In the heart of New York City, amidst the bustling streets and towering buildings, a grand fashion show was about to take place. The venue was a lavish ballroom, adorned with crystal chandeliers and golden trimmings, creating a setting fit for royalty. The guests, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly awaited the unveiling of the latest creations by renowned designers Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick. The theme of the show was centered around 19th-century French fashion, a period known for its opulence and elegance. The models, draped in luxurious fabrics and adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, exuded a sense of regal splendor as they glided down the runway. As the show began, the audience was immediately captivated by the stunning creations that graced the catwalk. Each garment was a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that the designers were known for. One of the standout pieces was a gown inspired by the First French Empire, featuring a structured bodice and billowing skirts made of sumptuous silk. The intricate embroidery on the bodice shimmered in the light, adding a touch of glamour to the piece. The model wearing the gown carried herself with confidence and grace, embodying the essence of a modern-day empress. Another notable ensemble was a coat made of rich velvet, adorned with intricate lace and pearl embellishments. The model who wore it exuded confidence and sophistication, her every movement a testament to the designer's skill in creating garments that not only looked beautiful but also felt empowering. The show was a mesmerizing display of fashion and artistry, with each garment telling a story of its own. From the delicate tulle skirts to the luxurious satin gowns, every piece was a work of art that transported the audience back in time to an era of grandeur and grandiosity. As the show drew to a close, the designers took to the stage to thunderous applause. Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick, the masterminds behind the collection, basked in the adoration of their audience, their creative vision brought to life in a spectacular fashion. In the aftermath of the show, the guests lingered in the ballroom, admiring the garments up close and marveling at the intricacy of the designs. The air was filled with a sense of awe and wonder, as if the very essence of the 19th-century fashion had been resurrected in that moment. As the last guest departed, a sense of satisfaction washed over Benjamin and Ellen. Their vision had been realized, their creations met with acclaim and admiration. They knew that they had succeeded in creating not just a fashion show, but a work of art that would be remembered for years to come. And so, the 19th-century fashion show in New York came to a close, leaving an indelible mark on the world of haute couture and cementing Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick as icons of the industry. It was a night of beauty, elegance, and majesty, a celebration of fashion at its most enchanting.
Thank you for this video, not only is it informative, but beautifully filmed (I like the morning coffee idea from one of your followers). I've sewn for ages, but not with tulle, so all your handy hints are a life savor for me. I didn't know I could iron tulle!!! Thank you so much!
This is gorgeous as always! I'm just starting to make my own garments after several years of mending and altering. This sort of skirt is a Someday goal for me. Thank you for such beautiful, relaxing, informative content.
Thanks so much for posting. Have been wanting to make what you call #2 for awhile but wasn’t sure the best process (number of layers needed and fabric recommendations). Your content is really exquisite.
Thank you so much! The number of layers also depend on what the top looks like. I made this skirt for the morning haze dress (it’s the video before) and the bodice contained of 3 tulle layers, so I endet up with three layers for the skirt as well (with the two inside layers only cut as regular circle skirts) so that skirt and bodice would have the same colour!
OMG..... a negative pattern piece!!!!!!!! that is so smart!!!! Of course! It almost feels like, why didn't I think of that earlier? lol Brilliant tip, definitely saves pattern paper too XD, since it's a ginormous circle!!!
@@nutella9446the negative pattern marks what you are cutting away, not what you are keeping. So, as she says, she marks her waist measurement then takes OFF the seam allowance from that line. This in turn ADDS that to the actual skirt. The skirt length is then marked using a tape measure and pins. Circle skirt patterns can become huge, so using a pattern for just the waist makes it a bit easier than marking the waist and length with a tape measure and pins.
I used this tutorial to make my "bride Lydia" from Beetlejuice cosplay! It was a lot of work, but it turned out fantastic. I get so many compliments on how it turned out! Can't thank you enough for putting these tutorials out there!
Oh that’s so cool! It’s amazing to know what kind of projects my videos are helping with, so thank you for letting me know! I hope you had a lot of fun even though it was a lot of work!
It looks so good! ❤ I've alway wanted to sew a tulle short skirt for myself, i think i'll give it a go with your 3rd method and all your advices ! Thanks!
WONDERFUL tutorial!!! I'll definitely be coming back to this video when I'm developing a pattern for my wedding dress! I won't begin pattern developing until I'm prepared to start construction, because I want everything to be fresh. If I work on making the pattern and construction too early and have to stop for a lengthy period, I'll forget key steps and such that I need to remember. Got engaged in May. We're hoping to buy a house next year and marry the following year. I'll start working on my wedding dress after we move into our new home.
Thank you! I’m glad to help 🥰 And I definitely know what you mean! Since I’m working on a few commissions at the same time over a longer period of time I always have to take so many notes to understand my own patterns 😂 I wish you lots of fun with making your own wedding dress 🥰
@@friedalepold Thank you so much for posting and responding to my comment! I'm sorry I didn't see your reply for so long. Wonderful thing about tulle is it is wonderfully inexpensive, but makes the gowns look and feel so ethereal! I love it! Still toying with ideas, but thinking of an off-white with floral printed organza (found one I fell in love with on Etsy) as an overlay, using your second tulle skirt example for the gown. I'll be sure to share with you when I make the dress. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and skills with us!
After watching this video about ten times, this is my interpretation of the 'negative pattern' used for skirt #2. She explains the negative pattern at 2:37 -- refers to using the centre, triangular piece that is cut off the top angle of each segment to make the inner circle of the circle skirt. This extra piece is used to create gores / godet in the hem, adding extra fullness between each seams. She seems to use at least two layers to make the skirt: one godet skirt and one circle skirt on top ... But we never see the finished page of notes, unlike the first design.
Aaah thank you sm for this tutorial❤...my matric ball is very soon and I've been looking for a tulle skirt tutorial and now I've found the perfect video😊i cant wait to start and i think i will use your second style😊
It was a crisp winter evening in New York City, and the anticipation in the air was palpable as fashion enthusiasts gathered at the grand ballroom of a luxurious mansion for a 19th century themed fashion show. The room was elegantly decorated with opulent chandeliers, plush velvet drapes, and ornate furniture that transported guests back in time to a period of extravagant fashion and refined elegance. As the guests settled into their seats, a hush fell over the room as the lights dimmed and the music began to play. The first model made her grand entrance, gliding down the runway in a breathtaking gown inspired by the dramatic events of the Mudan Incident in Taiwan Prefecture. The gown was crafted from luxurious silk and embroidered with intricate patterns reminiscent of traditional Taiwanese motifs, creating a stunning fusion of East and West. The next model followed, her ensemble paying homage to the opulence of the Tang dynasty with its rich brocade fabrics and intricate embellishments. The audience was mesmerized by the intricate beadwork and delicate embroidery that adorned the gown, creating a sense of regal majesty that was truly awe-inspiring. As the show progressed, each look seemed to outshine the last, with each garment more lavish and luxurious than the one before. The designer behind this incredible collection was none other than the talented Cai Qian, known for her impeccable attention to detail and her ability to blend Eastern and Western influences seamlessly. One of the standout pieces of the evening was a gown made entirely of fluffy tulle, reminiscent of a winter wonderland. The gown seemed to sparkle and shimmer as it floated down the runway, evoking the feeling of a magical snowfall on a cold winter night. The audience was captivated by the sheer beauty and artistry of the garments on display, each one a masterpiece in its own right. The designer had taken inspiration from a variety of sources, from the historical events of the past to the natural world around her, creating a collection that was both timeless and modern. As the show came to a close, the final model took her turn on the runway, wearing a gown that seemed to shimmer like liquid gold. The fabric had been specially woven from the silk of silkworms, creating a texture that was both luxurious and ethereal. The gown was a true work of art, a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. As the last model disappeared backstage, the audience erupted into applause, their hearts filled with awe and wonder at the beauty they had witnessed. The designer, a young and talented woman named Tang Jingsong, emerged to take her bow, her face radiant with pride and joy. The 19th century fashion show had been a resounding success, a celebration of beauty, creativity, and the timeless allure of couture. As the guests mingled and toasted to the evening's success, they knew they had witnessed something truly special - a glimpse into a world of glamour and sophistication that would never be forgotten.
@Reileen, I'm still unsure what of using a negative pattern means. Would you mind explaining this concept? I've tried Googling it, but I only get psychology answers, ha!
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the exquisite designs of a talented young designer named Amalia. She had always been fascinated by history and had a particular interest in the 19th century fashion of Poland. Her upcoming collection was inspired by the rich and tumultuous history of the country, drawing inspiration from events such as the Greater Poland Uprising, Siege of Danzig, Free City of Kraków, Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland, and Republic of Krakow. Amalia had spent months meticulously researching and designing her collection, pouring her heart and soul into each garment. The fabrics she chose were luxurious and of the highest quality, from fluffy smooth tulle to delicate silks. She paid close attention to the smallest details, ensuring that every stitch and pattern was perfect. As the models began to take their places backstage, Amalia felt a sense of excitement and nervousness wash over her. This was her moment to shine, to showcase her unique vision to the world. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of all the hard work and dedication that had gone into this collection. The music began to play, signaling the start of the show. The first model emerged onto the runway, wearing a stunning gown inspired by the Greater Poland Uprising. The deep red hue of the fabric and intricate embroidery paid homage to the brave soldiers who fought for their freedom. As each model walked down the runway, Amalia's designs mesmerized the audience. The Siege of Danzig collection featured structured coats and jackets with military-inspired detailing, while the Free City of Kraków collection showcased elegant ball gowns fit for a queen. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland collection was a celebration of freedom and democracy, with flowing skirts and delicate lace detailing. The Republic of Krakow collection paid tribute to the vibrant culture and folklore of the region, with colorful prints and embroidered accents. As the final model stepped out onto the runway, wearing a breathtaking gown inspired by the silkworm, the audience erupted into applause. Amalia's collection had been a triumph, a perfect blend of history, artistry, and beauty. After the show, Amalia was surrounded by adoring fans and fashion critics, all eager to shower her with praise. She smiled humbly and thanked everyone for their support, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her. As she looked around at the bustling city of New York, she knew that this was only the beginning. Her designs had captivated the hearts of many, and she was determined to continue pushing the boundaries of fashion and creativity. And so, Amalia's story of passion, dedication, and artistry continued, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of fashion and beyond.
Thank you for this amazing turorial! So excited to try the 2nd one :) I'm interested to know how you manage the bulk at the waist while sewing? I've tried a few methods, but it never looks good. Any tutorial on this would be amazing and very much appreciated!
Hm I think I have a huge advantage with my sewing machine 😂 but I like to sew from the inside, so that the gathering is at the underside and so it doesn’t catch on the foot
In the heart of New York City, a grand 19th-century fashion show was about to take place. The venue was adorned with elegant decorations and soft lighting, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and grandeur. The guests, dressed in their finest attire, buzzed with excitement as they awaited the unveiling of the latest designs from the renowned fashion designer, Ellen Mirojnick. Ellen Mirojnick was known for her exquisite attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of historical eras in her designs. For this particular show, she drew inspiration from the Treaty of Turkmenchay and the Treaty of Akhal, two significant agreements from the 19th century that shaped the landscape of Iran. The intricate patterns and rich colors from these treaties were reflected in her collection, adding a touch of historical significance to the modern fashion show. As the lights dimmed and the music swelled, the first model emerged onto the runway, dressed in a luxurious gown made of fluffy smooth tulle. The fabric cascaded around her like a cloud, making her seem as if she were floating on air. The intricate embroidery on the gown showcased the delicate patterns from the Treaty of Turkmenchay, creating a mesmerizing display of artistry and craftsmanship. Each subsequent look that followed was more breathtaking than the last, with garments that shimmered in the light and flowed with grace. The silhouettes were inspired by the opulent court fashions of the 19th century, with corsets, bustles, and ruffles adorning the designs. The colors ranged from deep, rich hues to soft, pastel tones, creating a visual feast for the eyes. One of the standout pieces in the collection was a gown made entirely of silk, inspired by the process of silkworm cultivation in Iran. The fabric was so delicate and ethereal that it seemed to glow from within, casting a soft, iridescent sheen. The intricate draping and pleating of the fabric evoked the graceful movements of a silkworm as it spun its cocoon, a metaphor for transformation and beauty. As the show came to a close, Ellen Mirojnick took her final bow, her face glowing with pride and satisfaction. The audience erupted into applause, marveling at the sheer beauty and artistry of the collection. This 19th-century fashion show had been a resounding success, a testament to the talent and creativity of the designer. In the months that followed, Ellen Mirojnick's collection became the talk of the town, gracing the pages of fashion magazines and adorning the red carpets of Hollywood. Her designs were praised for their innovation and originality, drawing comparisons to the great couturiers of the past. As for the guests who had attended the show, they left with a sense of wonder and awe, their hearts full of the beauty they had witnessed. The 19th-century fashion show had been a truly unforgettable experience, a feast for the senses and a celebration of creativity and artistry. And for Ellen Mirojnick, it was a moment of triumph, a reaffirmation of her status as a visionary in the world of fashion.
The third skirt went over my head a little bit even though it isy favorite 😢. I'm making a graduation dress for my 10year old and I would have loved to use that technique. Lovely video.
Could you make a more indepth video on skirt 2? I have a really hard time following and understanding what you mean. I dont understand the negative pattern part at all
I'm enchanted by your skirt number 2! Being able to have translucency at the waist, with fullness at the hem is magical! It looks like you have basically slashed and spread the skirt pattern for that, does the final pattern shape differ from a full or double circle skirt then?🌟
This is so wonderful! I have two questions: How much tuelle does the third skirt usually take and where did you get a sketchbook with those base models? Thank you so much and wonderful work!!
So much information! You mentioned 20 meters for one of the styles, but is it more or less for the others? I have a little girl that would love a princess tulle skirt, but my wallet is not keen on 15-20 meter of tulle.
Yes, the 20 metres are in the black skirt that is shown in the video. The second and third skirt are done with even more fabric. But when it’s for a smaller person you need significantly less fabric especially when you don’t have to use the whole 3m width and can keep it folded :)
Always such a delight to sit here with my morning coffee and watch a new Frieda video. One of my favourite things about tulle - NO SEWN HEM. My favourite trick to gathering - doing a zigzag stitch over top of a strong, heavy thread so that the heavy one is caught underneath the zigzags. I find that way i never snap the finer thread when gathering in the fabric. I very much enjoy your journey, Frieda, and i am so grateful you share it with us.
That’s an amazing tip for gathering! I usually just do it with the machine on tulle since it’s so light, but with thicker fabric I always do it by hand, so I’ll definitely try out this technique! Thank you 🥰 and I’m happy you enjoyed the video!
It works even better if you have a pintuck foot because the channels for the tucks keep the chord from moving around and you only need to watch your seam allowance.
This is such a good tip omg
I use the same technique, using either quilting thread or even dental floss. But I'm only making Halloween costumes, not elegant evening or bridal wear.
Sadly I don't quite understand this trick yet. Do you do a straight stitch with a heavy thread and then on top a zigzag? Or only a zigzag with the top thread being out of a heavy thread?
Would be great to know!
Thanks 🙏

Still toying with ideas, but thinking of an off-white with floral printed organza (found one I fell in love with on Etsy) as an overlay, using your second tulle skirt example for the gown.
I'll be sure to share with you when I make the dress. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and skills with us!
This was amazingly informative and stunningly shot as well! You're an incredible filmographer as well as an absolutely phenomenal dressmaker!
Love the flow of the skit! So talented
I like the 3rd skirt they are all pretty
I'm so glad I just came across your beautiful channel. I can't wait to see what else you have
After watching this video about ten times, this is my interpretation of the 'negative pattern' used for skirt #2. She explains the negative pattern at 2:37 -- refers to using the centre, triangular piece that is cut off the top angle of each segment to make the inner circle of the circle skirt. This extra piece is used to create gores / godet in the hem, adding extra fullness between each seams. She seems to use at least two layers to make the skirt: one godet skirt and one circle skirt on top ... But we never see the finished page of notes, unlike the first design.
This is so cool! Beautiful skirts and a great tutorial! I loved it!
These give me delusions of DIY lol
absolutely stunning, and it's hard to choose a favorite
:D Thank you!
This was calming to watch as well as informative

It was a crisp winter evening in New York City, and the anticipation in the air was palpable as fashion enthusiasts gathered at the grand ballroom of a luxurious mansion for a 19th century themed fashion show. The room was elegantly decorated with opulent chandeliers, plush velvet drapes, and ornate furniture that transported guests back in time to a period of extravagant fashion and refined elegance.
As the guests settled into their seats, a hush fell over the room as the lights dimmed and the music began to play. The first model made her grand entrance, gliding down the runway in a breathtaking gown inspired by the dramatic events of the Mudan Incident in Taiwan Prefecture. The gown was crafted from luxurious silk and embroidered with intricate patterns reminiscent of traditional Taiwanese motifs, creating a stunning fusion of East and West.
The next model followed, her ensemble paying homage to the opulence of the Tang dynasty with its rich brocade fabrics and intricate embellishments. The audience was mesmerized by the intricate beadwork and delicate embroidery that adorned the gown, creating a sense of regal majesty that was truly awe-inspiring.
As the show progressed, each look seemed to outshine the last, with each garment more lavish and luxurious than the one before. The designer behind this incredible collection was none other than the talented Cai Qian, known for her impeccable attention to detail and her ability to blend Eastern and Western influences seamlessly.
One of the standout pieces of the evening was a gown made entirely of fluffy tulle, reminiscent of a winter wonderland. The gown seemed to sparkle and shimmer as it floated down the runway, evoking the feeling of a magical snowfall on a cold winter night.
The audience was captivated by the sheer beauty and artistry of the garments on display, each one a masterpiece in its own right. The designer had taken inspiration from a variety of sources, from the historical events of the past to the natural world around her, creating a collection that was both timeless and modern.
As the show came to a close, the final model took her turn on the runway, wearing a gown that seemed to shimmer like liquid gold. The fabric had been specially woven from the silk of silkworms, creating a texture that was both luxurious and ethereal. The gown was a true work of art, a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator.
As the last model disappeared backstage, the audience erupted into applause, their hearts filled with awe and wonder at the beauty they had witnessed. The designer, a young and talented woman named Tang Jingsong, emerged to take her bow, her face radiant with pride and joy.
The 19th century fashion show had been a resounding success, a celebration of beauty, creativity, and the timeless allure of couture. As the guests mingled and toasted to the evening's success, they knew they had witnessed something truly special - a glimpse into a world of glamour and sophistication that would never be forgotten.
the negative pattern is brilliant. I've never thought of doing it this way.🤦♀ Thanks a lot. This will help
@Reileen, I'm still unsure what of using a negative pattern means. Would you mind explaining this concept? I've tried Googling it, but I only get psychology answers, ha!
Could you explain, what is negative pattern? That would really help!
Beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩
This is gold, thank you very much!
Muchas gracias "thanks"
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the exquisite designs of a talented young designer named Amalia. She had always been fascinated by history and had a particular interest in the 19th century fashion of Poland. Her upcoming collection was inspired by the rich and tumultuous history of the country, drawing inspiration from events such as the Greater Poland Uprising, Siege of Danzig, Free City of Kraków, Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland, and Republic of Krakow.
Amalia had spent months meticulously researching and designing her collection, pouring her heart and soul into each garment. The fabrics she chose were luxurious and of the highest quality, from fluffy smooth tulle to delicate silks. She paid close attention to the smallest details, ensuring that every stitch and pattern was perfect.
As the models began to take their places backstage, Amalia felt a sense of excitement and nervousness wash over her. This was her moment to shine, to showcase her unique vision to the world. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of all the hard work and dedication that had gone into this collection.
The music began to play, signaling the start of the show. The first model emerged onto the runway, wearing a stunning gown inspired by the Greater Poland Uprising. The deep red hue of the fabric and intricate embroidery paid homage to the brave soldiers who fought for their freedom.
As each model walked down the runway, Amalia's designs mesmerized the audience. The Siege of Danzig collection featured structured coats and jackets with military-inspired detailing, while the Free City of Kraków collection showcased elegant ball gowns fit for a queen.
The Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland collection was a celebration of freedom and democracy, with flowing skirts and delicate lace detailing. The Republic of Krakow collection paid tribute to the vibrant culture and folklore of the region, with colorful prints and embroidered accents.
As the final model stepped out onto the runway, wearing a breathtaking gown inspired by the silkworm, the audience erupted into applause. Amalia's collection had been a triumph, a perfect blend of history, artistry, and beauty.
After the show, Amalia was surrounded by adoring fans and fashion critics, all eager to shower her with praise. She smiled humbly and thanked everyone for their support, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her.

And so, Amalia's story of passion, dedication, and artistry continued, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of fashion and beyond.
what a beautiful video. really relaxing
Now I want to make one just so I can flounce around the house in it! LOL!
Thank you for this amazing turorial! So excited to try the 2nd one :) I'm interested to know how you manage the bulk at the waist while sewing? I've tried a few methods, but it never looks good. Any tutorial on this would be amazing and very much appreciated!
Hm I think I have a huge advantage with my sewing machine 😂 but I like to sew from the inside, so that the gathering is at the underside and so it doesn’t catch on the foot
This is phenomenally inspiring! Thank you so much! ☺️💖
Thank you 🥰 I’m happy you liked the video!
In the heart of New York City, a grand 19th-century fashion show was about to take place. The venue was adorned with elegant decorations and soft lighting, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and grandeur. The guests, dressed in their finest attire, buzzed with excitement as they awaited the unveiling of the latest designs from the renowned fashion designer, Ellen Mirojnick.
Ellen Mirojnick was known for her exquisite attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of historical eras in her designs. For this particular show, she drew inspiration from the Treaty of Turkmenchay and the Treaty of Akhal, two significant agreements from the 19th century that shaped the landscape of Iran. The intricate patterns and rich colors from these treaties were reflected in her collection, adding a touch of historical significance to the modern fashion show.
As the lights dimmed and the music swelled, the first model emerged onto the runway, dressed in a luxurious gown made of fluffy smooth tulle. The fabric cascaded around her like a cloud, making her seem as if she were floating on air. The intricate embroidery on the gown showcased the delicate patterns from the Treaty of Turkmenchay, creating a mesmerizing display of artistry and craftsmanship.
Each subsequent look that followed was more breathtaking than the last, with garments that shimmered in the light and flowed with grace. The silhouettes were inspired by the opulent court fashions of the 19th century, with corsets, bustles, and ruffles adorning the designs. The colors ranged from deep, rich hues to soft, pastel tones, creating a visual feast for the eyes.
One of the standout pieces in the collection was a gown made entirely of silk, inspired by the process of silkworm cultivation in Iran. The fabric was so delicate and ethereal that it seemed to glow from within, casting a soft, iridescent sheen. The intricate draping and pleating of the fabric evoked the graceful movements of a silkworm as it spun its cocoon, a metaphor for transformation and beauty.
As the show came to a close, Ellen Mirojnick took her final bow, her face glowing with pride and satisfaction. The audience erupted into applause, marveling at the sheer beauty and artistry of the collection. This 19th-century fashion show had been a resounding success, a testament to the talent and creativity of the designer.
In the months that followed, Ellen Mirojnick's collection became the talk of the town, gracing the pages of fashion magazines and adorning the red carpets of Hollywood. Her designs were praised for their innovation and originality, drawing comparisons to the great couturiers of the past.
As for the guests who had attended the show, they left with a sense of wonder and awe, their hearts full of the beauty they had witnessed. The 19th-century fashion show had been a truly unforgettable experience, a feast for the senses and a celebration of creativity and artistry. And for Ellen Mirojnick, it was a moment of triumph, a reaffirmation of her status as a visionary in the world of fashion.
Thank you for sharing love it ❤ from Cape Town South Africa
Thank you for this video! I'm making my first cosplay ballgown and I was completely stumped until I found this!
The third skirt went over my head a little bit even though it isy favorite 😢.
I'm making a graduation dress for my 10year old and I would have loved to use that technique.
Lovely video.
Could you make a more indepth video on skirt 2? I have a really hard time following and understanding what you mean. I dont understand the negative pattern part at all
Me too
I'm enchanted by your skirt number 2! Being able to have translucency at the waist, with fullness at the hem is magical! It looks like you have basically slashed and spread the skirt pattern for that, does the final pattern shape differ from a full or double circle skirt then?🌟
Thank you! Every part itself is a half circle, but sewn together the bottom is more like 4 or 5 circles !
@@friedalepold wow so laid out flat it would be a spiral?! Fantastic! 👗
Beautiful!
What are the little clips that you use (name?) and where could I buy them? Thanks. My favourite is the third one. Stunning!
Thank you I love watching your videos . ❤
That was delightful
This is so wonderful! I have two questions: How much tuelle does the third skirt usually take and where did you get a sketchbook with those base models? Thank you so much and wonderful work!!
GORGEOUS!
Love the thumbnail it looks like a Sargent painting 🙂
Enjoyed the tutorial
Hello ! Super video ! For the third, the base is only made with one "slice" of tulle ?
Where do you buy your tulle and what kind is it? It looks really great!
So much information!
You mentioned 20 meters for one of the styles, but is it more or less for the others?
I have a little girl that would love a princess tulle skirt, but my wallet is not keen on 15-20 meter of tulle.
I mean, that's for a floor length, very full skirt for an adult woman. You can likely get away with way less for a kid.
Yes, the 20 metres are in the black skirt that is shown in the video. The second and third skirt are done with even more fabric. But when it’s for a smaller person you need significantly less fabric especially when you don’t have to use the whole 3m width and can keep it folded :)
What brand of measuring tape do you use? the hook and eye function looks like it'd be really useful.
A girls dream! So beautiful. Unfortunately I was never that skinny to actually wear those skirts. Lovely video though.
What are the patterns for skirt 2? Im a bit confused with the explanations. Thats for the beautiful video!
The video is amazing, thank you! Although, could you tell me, which kind of tulle exactly do you use? Maybe you have a link or something...
😍😍😍😍😯 que bello proceso
Excellent ❤
BRAVO!! I'm sharing! 😍
Pretty stuff!
You work magic with fabric ❤🤲
Love your video! About how much tulle is used in the third skirt? :)
