    If you see the cats in the design, it’s because my sweet 11 year old kitty passed away during the week we were making this dress. I was so upset , but had to finish this project( it was a good distraction.) so I though it would be sweet to put her into the design to honor her and all the time and dresses she got to see me make. Also, all of the flowers on the base dress were from the flower arrangements friends and family who loved her sent ! So the whole dress is a tribute to her

      ​@@sherei9530 Fr. 😬 And none of them really seemed to match the theme -- either of them, as there seems to be a debate on whether it was "Garden of Time", or "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" -- except for the seemingly random flower appliques here and there.
      The closest that I saw were Demi Moore, Lana Del Ray and, shockingly, Tyla -- the latter of whom at least got the "Time" motif right, but emulated "Sands of Time" instead (if we're going with "Garden of Time"). Cara Delevingne, who normally is closer to the theme, was more like the theme of several years back, with her very "Joan of Arc" outfit. And Michael Shannon was just carrying around a bag of designer POTATO CHIPS, by Balenciaga. Like, some were just so off the wall.
      There were definitely some gorgeous ensembles, but the theme just wasn't there. I think the designer who came closest to the theme was probably Harris Reed (dressed themselves and Demi).
      How about we rename this Met Gala what we're all thinking, though, and really hit the nail on the head?
      "Hunger Games Awakened: The Capitol".
      (Oh Blake Lively, Queen of the Red Carpet, where were you when we needed you?)
      All of that being said, THIS dress, this GORGEOUS, color-changing creation, belongs on the Met Gala steps far more than any other outfit that made it there this year.

    I’m so sorry for your kitty’s passing. It sounds like you were able to use the dress as a bit of a distraction. Perhaps making the dress with so many tributes to her was even a bit cathartic for you and has hopefully helped with the healing process.

      Your Dress should be at the Met Gala “Gardens of time” along with the little cat. What a special dress, for a truly stunning lady. I see Nicole Kidman in that dress, I see Julia Robert’s wearing that dress. Adele or Ariana it was made by an amazing designer. Keep on, your gowns will be on the carpet in no time. To keep the bugs away from my garden dress. I would make a Tulle~English Cotton Umbrella. Using the same UV product. The English Cotton is much better and you can incorporate the design on to the English Cotton. Tulle is just not forgiving with designs. The Umbrella being a wonderful Accessory! I love this dress and back when I could have. I would love a dress just like this. There would be no perfect garden without the Cat. Well done!

    This is the best dress I’ve seen you make for so many reasons- the color changing dye, the tribute to your sweet kitty, and, of course your tremendous skill!
    My mom was a lifelong seamstress, she sewed for a living in our small CT town until she couldn’t any longer, at 75. I watch you because I never picked up the craft and your love of sewing reminds me of my mom’s same appreciation for taking a few yards of material and creating something that made others so happy. She loved the challenge and she loved the smiles on her customers faces.
    Thank you for this video as well as all the others. I enjoy them immensely!🧡

    This is jaw-dropping! My beloved kitty passed away last year. Months later, I still didn't think I was ready for another cat, but a kitten at the shelter where I volunteer clung to me and would not let go. I brought him home and named him Indigo, after the RM album Indigo, because that was the only music that seemed to calm down his tiny kitten mews... And that album's artwork is almost entirely cyanotype! The existence of this dress and its backstory has floored me, beyond the beauty and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your work!
