Your work is amazing!! I taught myself to sew a few years ago and started a business designing handbags and mens backpacks. I'm now trying to learn clothing design and your videos have inspired me!
Lavonta Strickland good for you.
Hi! I'm a guy into female fashion and I also have a strong interest for historical clothing, so I enjoyed following your series about the making of a ballgown. I have to say that I am very impressed by your skills and knowledge! I don't think I could ever do something like that! I'm looking forward to seeing the final product and I'm subscribing, to encourage you ;).
Thank you! I'm really glad you're enjoying the process!
Your channel deserves so much subscribers! Your explanation are so clear and it makes me more confident to create my own ballgown dress! Thanks à lot!
I'm so excited to see the bling! Also, the silk chiffon does look awesome -- so elegant. You've put in a lot of hard work, Chelsea; it's really paying off! :D
I have to say it is turning out better than I expected!
i love this video series! just wondering if you remember how many yards of the satin you bought/used. (its okay if you dont remember)
This is gorgeous
hi.. i wanted to make my own gown too just the same as your gown too i really loved the result. but then i am a first timer, i just wanted to know what materials did you used for construction?
from drafting scratch. 😊
thank you for the tips! I'm embarking on my first ball gown and this helped so much!
First video of yours that I watch
Very beautiful
3:45 "silk chiffon is one of my favorite materials to work with" it's pretty but i hate working with it lol
Hi Chelsea, Nice job, I was just searching on how to make ball gown when I stumbled into your channel but pls there is this place where I got lost, pls did you cut the chiffon in circle or it was just straight cut that was gathered and what kind of materials do you use for the body structure? thanks
wow you inspired me! thank you so much beautiful dress.
hey i was wondering what type of sewing machine you use? mine recently broke and i'm trying to find a good quality sewing machine.
you have such beautiful work! subscribed :)
HI, I noticed on one of your dress draft it says capstone. I'm in high school and we have to do capstone, was this dress for that? If so I plan on making a dress for my capstone project also, could you give me some pointers on how you added the dress to the project? Thank you so much, your videos teach me so much on what I do not know. Keep making them and you're an amazing designer!!
How much fabric (width) did you use on the silk chiffon for the waist? Very Nice sleeves and bodice!
I enjoyed watching your videos

Hello Chelsea! Awesome video! It has really help my understanding in construction. Please I need your urgent help. What other options can I use in place of the cotton flannel and silk organza in the bustier construction? And the steel/spiral boning are pretty hard to come by in Johannesburg will plastic boning work just as well even though I know they are not as good though? Pls, pls, pls let me know what you think. Thank you

If you were to sell this how much would it be?? Or howmuch would it be for me to place an order for a ballgown
This dress the way she has made it without adding an hourly payment will easily go for 500$ on supplies and construction alone add in the time and the hand stitching its about 1000$ and assuming the dress is custom tailored that could be an added charge.
My great grammy made me a prom dress and it cost her 500$ for material alone and the material was an iridescent fabric (I am 75% sure it was silk but not the real stuff probity a poly blend silk) tule and a lining with no petite coat or hoop skirt. However it was in a ballgown cut/style. Note I am a vary small girl 5'4' and 94LBS so its not like I needed a lot of fabric. (Not fat shaming hope by me saying that no one gets offended)
As a cosplayer id sell this dress for MAYBE 2'000$ if i didnt add in my hourly work most of the time. If i added in my work time and cheap AF hourly wage you're looking at 3500. Thats NOT including the amount of time i would spend remaking things or designing the dress.
As a commissioner i see sticker shock a lot as a commissionee ive been guilty of balking at prices also. This is not a cheap hobby and those who sell something with this much work cheap arent all scammers. Some may be desperate to be rid of the space consumer. Others are simply trying to build their business rep. However unless its a factory. Most dresses like this do not come cheap.
