    You were my favorite on project runway..... I've learned so much from you. Most designers wouldn't dare share this wealth of knowledge for free. Thank you, and may God continue to bless you in all your good endeavours!!

    You practice the wisdom of a Good Soul. You know the old saying.....”if you wanna keep it , you gotta give it away?”
    Just a five minute video of yours gives me happiness in my day and raises the quality of my life because of the knowledge gained from it ....can you imagine how crazy blessed your life will be for giving THAT away!!!!!

    I'm not even a fashion person, I just found my way here because I have an obsession with silk fabric due to my autism. It's actually stress-reliever for me. I keep a piece of silk or satin cloth in my pocket so I can rub it whenever I feel stressed, or lost in thought. I don't know, the smooth texture of the fabric just helps me relax and concentrate. I can't tell you why, but that's been a truism my entire life. Now I have a bearing on the various kinds of silk that will help me feel better. :)

    Your teaching method is beyond festive! I need you in my bedroom- to go through my closet with me and tell me everything to get rid of and why. Then tell me what to shop for. Then go shopping with me. Then come back to my place so you can prepare me to model everything for my husband, one outfit at a time. 😂

    Just what I needed. Shopping online, it's hard to determine what the different fabrics are like. Plus, the few fabric stores we had in my area have been closed over the years. Lol, I also love saying "organza."

  • @EldritchAnanke
    @EldritchAnanke 6 років тому +1

    I am a writer. I've wanted to understand the difference between silks for an age and I have never come across a more clear and concise explanation. Thank you so much.
    I do have a question, which been eating away at me since 2015: what material did they use for Cinderella's bridal veil in the live-action film? You seem like a fellow who'd know in an instant

      Judi Christopher I do agree with you. Indeed it was fabulous to hear Nick share his enthusiasm for all things fashion, with or without the background music😂
      Now to placate the perfectionist in me that quietly roars to mention this,
      at the end of the comment perhaps do you mean to spell out ciao (or chao) as in goodbye?
      Cheers to learning about all things fashion 👗👡👝

    My grandmother and i want to make my wedding dress I was thinking of the duchess satin with and embroidered and beaded overlay . Do you think organza would be right for that ? I designed it as a cross between a mermaid and fit and flare. I am trying to get it a vintage looking as possible.
