If the bones are made of plastic: Place a towel over the boning and gentle steam the bones flat. If that doesn't work alternate the curves in the channels. So one curves inwards one outwards. This will also help.
I actually scrolled down to the comments when she asked that question to see if anyone had said to do this! I haven't made any garments with boning as of yet, but I remember Bernadette Banner (I think) doing this. I actually just bought corset supplies to sew an Edwardian corset.
Your kidding! I’m currently gathering supplies to make an Edwardian corset, don’t suppose you’ve found a good pattern yet? I’m struggling 😬 Hoping for a straight front one but will accept an s-bend if I can’t find one
@@MadameMyriad Depends on which era of the Edwardain you are looking for. Truly Victorian has a lovely Early Edwardian as well as a lovely 1910s corset. Scroops Patterns also has a lovely Early and Teens, (I've made the teens one super simple and quick make) and Black Snails has an Early Edwardian that doesn't have as many gores, which is easier for beginners but still a more intermediate piece as you need to be able to stitch accurately. :) All three are really well constructed. Hope this helps.
Disney should have hired a team of UA-cam cosplayers and designers, including yourself because you would have made the movie bearable to look at, the dress is absolutely gorgeous! I hope to see more of your creative work in the future
Thank you, that really made my day 🖤😊 I remember when the first BTS picture was released and I honestly thought it must be a fake or a press stunt to drum up attention because there’s no way that’s the actual dress … maybe that was just wishful thinking 😂
They really are! All I can hope is that it’s on purpose because the colour grading in the final film will shift it a lot. ( Like in The Hobbit how all the dwarves were basically orange on set because that would look normal in the final film) … I’m going to continue to wishfully think until the last moment 😂
You created a gorgeous gown and you should be really proud of yourself for finishing it. It's hard to believe that it was the first thing you attempted to make. Your skills are amazing.
Never heard of you before this, but Snow White was the first ever disney princess I ever saw, and thus remains one of my all time favorites. Love what you did with adding in all those gorgeous but painstaking details :)
Thank you 🖤 I know, I came across the doll on Pinterest yesterday and couldn’t believe the resemblance 😄 It made me tempted to make a second skirt option to better match the doll
Loved your video and look forward to your next sewing endeavors! I subscribed :) I am actually a recent seamstress. It is wonderful to have so many helpful videos out there! With a friendly community of people to ask questions and learn from! I appreciate it so very much! Your humor and wit (along with the bloopers and fun music) remind of Rachel Maksy :) Seeing videos like this always motivates me to dash to my sewing room! From one seamstress to another, Happy sewing!!
Thank you 🖤 & Welcome to the online sewing community! I’m pretty new here myself but so far people have been so kind and helpful, happy to pay it forward if you ever need support 🥰 Also I’m honoured to be compared to the craft goddess herself, I can only aspire to such greatness 🤌🏻 Definitely made my day 😄
For the curling boning. 1. You didn't mention if you tried heat before putting them under books to flatten. I use my hair dryer to warm up the plastic. 2. When inserting the boning that is curling I alternate which way the curl is going. One curls inwards next curls outwards. They tend to couteract a bit of each others curl.
Thank you so much for the advice 🙏🏻 I was really hoping someone would help. I didn’t even think to use heat, I’ll try using the iron on the bodice then some books to flatten it down, I mainly want to get the front to stop curling in so much 😂 The alternating trick is a great shout too, definitely going to utilise that going forward. Thanks again xx
Absolutely love the dress - very well done! Also very glad you asked about sorting out the curled boning - we both needed some tips! My usual solution is just wearing the garment until the boning gets into the right shape (which is a valis method but not exactly quick). Keep up the nice work!!
Thank you 😊🖤 Honestly one of my favourite things about making these videos is that I can ask for help when I need it, I’m so grateful for the people who share their tips - I’m glad it’s been helpful for you too😄
Yea it’s been a real rollercoaster to be productive when my brain wants to stare into the void for 3 hours instead 😂 I used to really struggle with it until I found other women online being honest about it which really helped me so I try not to hide my adhd or autism in videos because of that
@@MadameMyriad right!! It baffles me because the costume designer is the same one who did Cinderella's blue dress in the 2015 remake!! It's wild to me!
I believe you can iron the boning straight. Snow white, a tale of terror was my favourite. Great cast and costumes. Loved your finished version, so much better than the new movie version! ❤
I actually need to work with boning again today so I’ll be testing everyone’s advice later, thank you ☺️ I looked up the trailer for that and cannot believe I have never watched it, it looks so good, I want the dvd so bad! Thank you, I’ve already got a few ideas for upgrades later down the line too 🥰
I’ve just watched the trailer and it does look really good (bonus points because all 90s trailers are pure gold), but I am a complete baby when it comes to horror films, how bad is it? Can an 8 year old watch it without nightmares because that’s pretty much my level 😂
This is so beautiful! I definitely NEED to check out that book now! For boning, I tend to just use the curled boning, but arrange it so it curls away from my body to prevent any bubbles and prevent the fabric from curling away from my body and instead I find it helps to coform the shape of my bodice to my body if that make any sense 😅! I love finding new sewist channels to subscribe to!!!
Thank you! 🖤 I absolutely recommend Self Made Princess, it’s available digitally in English and French and the best book that I own, super helpful to get started and a good base reference for most projects. Thank you for the bodice tips, I’m hoping to get it sitting a bit better for my next shoot with it 😄
I use a dead stock fabric supplier called amo threads, as I bought it all over a year ago the stock is long gone now but it’s a really great site for unique fabrics - you just have to check back regularly as stock changes so fast 😊
Thanks for your support, it really means a lot 😊 And YESS! I have soo many materials left over from the crown project, I’ve been dying to make a second but cannot decide on a design for the life of me - I am open to suggestions!
Lovely outfit. Since the gown is finished you might want to lace the bodice on to your dressmakers manakin for a few weeks to help with the curved bones.
Thank you ☺️ That’s a good shout! Some people recommend gently heating them then pressing flat so I might try that then put it on the mannequin to set it in place … if that makes any kind of sense 😄
@@cambelloroxy9420 that’s strange, I know people have tried to send me links before but YT doesn’t allow it so the comments just disappear. Do you remember the name of it?
Disney needs to hire a whole heap of new workers, everyone shoukd be fired and just hire youtube creaters. I would love to see what people from viva la dirt leauge and similar channels, along with sewing channels like you, Bernadette, morgan donnar, that guy that does the anime to live acting and the guy who does the action recording sequences with cosplayers. Could all do.
Unfortunately even when productions have genuine talent on board, a bunch of executives look at data and make all the decisions based off trends and profits, completely ignoring creative input for the individual project 😔 I do love seeing creatives collaborate to pull of smaller scale projects though, like when Lilly on the moon and Nikita cosplay filmed live action clips of Tangled and Barbie, the production quality is amazing! (Also I hadn’t come across Morgan Donner before, their channel looks really cool! Thanks for the introduction)
Nikita Cosplay originally had a batch of hardcovers printed but once they all sold out she continued to sell the book and patterns digitally. (She looked into getting it printed again but the costs were too high) I bought mine about two years ago now. Honestly though I have found it so helpful starting out that I would still buy it digital and just print it out and keep it in a big folder for reference. It covers so many sewing basics, as well as make up, wig styling and photo shoots too
Beautiful dress 😻😻😻👍🏻👍🏻. I probably would have made the ribbon trim on the sleeves a bit longer so they would have stood out a bit at the top of the sleeve instead of laying flat but that the only tweak I would make. So much prettier than that ugly yellow red and blue cartoonish thing 😊 One of the other commenters is right, they should hire cosplayers or historical home sewers. Miss R’s dress was ugly 🤢
Thank you! 🥰 You might be right about the trim, this was my first time embellishing anything and I was super anxious about using too much/going too big and ruining it 😬 Yea it does feel cartoonish doesn’t it, I feel like there’s a fine line when designing true to an animation and they fell on the wrong side of it 😅
If the bones are made of plastic: Place a towel over the boning and gentle steam the bones flat. If that doesn't work alternate the curves in the channels. So one curves inwards one outwards. This will also help.
Thank you for the advice 🙏🏻 I’m going to see if I can gently heat it flat, either way I’ll know what to do for future projects now 😊 Thanks again x

@@MadameMyriadthe dress colors are way too bright. And it’s an eyesore just to look at.

( Like in The Hobbit how all the dwarves were basically orange on set because that would look normal in the final film) … I’m going to continue to wishfully think until the last moment 😂
I don't mind the live action version, but it does feel like a cheap halloween version :') Yours turned out so incredibly pretty!
Thank you 😊 I had the same thought, I even wondered if they chose to go that direction so they would be able to profit off costume sales after 😂
@@MadameMyriad wouldn't surprise me if that's the case haha😂
I came here to say the same. Dresses that actors wear in the parks look more grand and "princess like".
You created a gorgeous gown and you should be really proud of yourself for finishing it. It's hard to believe that it was the first thing you attempted to make. Your skills are amazing.
Thank you! I am so happy with it 🥰 I completely attribute its success to the book I used, would not have been able to pull it off without it!
Nice!
Love seeing the struggle to keep focus on a long project - it's so relatable to me
I can do short bursts but when the hyper fixation fades it can get rough 😅
Never heard of you before this, but Snow White was the first ever disney princess I ever saw, and thus remains one of my all time favorites. Love what you did with adding in all those gorgeous but painstaking details :)
I used to have so many Snow White things as a child!
Thank you, I already know how I want to upgrade it even more in the future😅
woah, that turned out absolutely stunning! i absolutely love your take on snow white's dress
Thank you so much 😊🖤
My what a beautiful and dainty Snow White Cosplay.
Honestly reminds me of the 2017 D23 Limited Edition Doll Design
Thank you 🖤
I know, I came across the doll on Pinterest yesterday and couldn’t believe the resemblance 😄 It made me tempted to make a second skirt option to better match the doll
I love the colour of that blue silk.
It’s beautiful isn’t it! 💙💙 I’m so glad I still have a few meters left for future use

Thank you 🖤
Just want to say, your gorgeous, and your work is impeccable❤
Thank you, that’s so kind 🖤😊
It looks so gorgeous and fancy
Thank you 🖤 For me it’s the sleeves, I’m still obsessed with how they came out 🥰
Oh this is beautiful!! I'm obsessed! LEAGUES better than the one they've put Rachel in for the movie. (She deserves so much better, honestly)
Thank you 🖤🖤 & it bothers me so much, I feel so bad for her, the dress, the hair, it’s just so needlessly bad considering it’s done by professionals
@@MadameMyriad right!! It baffles me because the costume designer is the same one who did Cinderella's blue dress in the 2015 remake!! It's wild to me!
You’re kidding?! How is that even possible 😳
I think I like both versions
I do think the base design of the live action has potential, I really think it’s just the colour that doesn’t sit right with me 😄
Btw u looked stunning in the finished dress, worth allthe work, i hope u get to wear it for something as people should see it!
Oh thank you! 🖤 I’d love to wear it to comic con one day but only if I’m going by car, I do not want to take this on a train 😂
The dress turned out beautiful!

Snow White A Tale Of Terror Staring Sigourney Weaver Is A Pretty Good Live Action Version.

@@MadameMyriad Yes if you have a steamer for your clothes, you could steam the bodice so the bones are warm before putting it on the manakin.
Video suggestion: the Apple scene from the movie.
The challenge is trying to find an apple that red in real life 😄 but it’s its definitely on my shoot list for when the weather gets better
@@MadameMyriad okay. Thank you! Hope something like the scene could be made someday.
I agree mirror mirror is a really good live action version but I grew up with a German version of the story and I have to say I like it even better
