Вставка

- I cannot be stopped, well...hopefully I can be stopped because eek! Baby it's hot outside, so I need to cut it out with these long sleeved dresses. This retro-futuristic, science fiction meets midcentury modern inspired dress is a /bit/ over the top, but why not? Catch me at the popcorn stand outside Star Tours, I'll be the one in red...

Thank you for watching! - Навчання та стиль
I showed my husband the finished dress and he said, "Why would she christen the rocket ship when she could captain it?"
❤️🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥❤️
Facts 💅✨😂
🚀🚀🚀
You are an absolute marvel
🚀🚀🚀
Great design and execution.
This is SO good. Maybe host a Villainess's night out with friends? Because as my sister pointed out this dress is very "evil space empress" and it's fantastic.
Ooohh exactly! That perfectly captures the vibe I was getting too
I was thinking a mob bosses wife.
Thank you Kelly!
I am OBSESSED with your retro future aesthetic such a new vibe I am absolutely in a chokehold.
YES CHOKEHOLD! The aesthetic is about to drop the elbow on me from the top ropes! Bout to tap out! ❤️ Love all of the fashionable creations.
I totally agree!
Thank you! 🤣❤️
Chokehold eh? 😈
Absolutely zero complaints if you want to keep on with these retro futurism looks. They're all fantastic!
Thank you!
Shows like project runway are more drama then design, but if there was a legit venue, your creativity and aesthetic would take the top prize!
Agreed! I would love to see a drama free version where it's just a bunch of super passionate people like Bianca making things like this without ridiculous timeframes, just good vibes and making great clothes
Would love to see her on something like Next in Fashion
Thank you Kathy! I bet some youtubers get more views than tv shows do...and no producers being tricky with the footage to create silliness either is a big bonus!
Absolutely fabulous. As a fan of sci-fi, vintage fashion, and statement making clothes...it is perfect.
Thank you Kimberly!
A gauzy iridescent future trench!?! Yes yes yes! I love the projects you have been doing lately. Keep it up!
Thank you Tiff!
Words cannot adequately describe how stunning that dress is and how absolutely sublime you look in it! 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
The reveal was beyond my comprehension… it’s an 11/10.
Thank you Jasmine!
The sleeves!The shape. Oh, I am feeling this aesthetic. Beautiful!
Thank you!
I LOVE this dress! Really I've been loving the whole Shiny Fabric Shenanigans situation that's been happening, but those sleeves are tipping it even further!
Thank you! Shiny sleeves, had to be done ✨
@@TheClosetHistorian But like, now I want all my dresses to have some kind of awesome statement sleeve. This is gonna be dangerous for my wallet 🤣
LOL, I love that you don't like French seams because of the double stitching, but for the multi-piece dresses, we gotta have the topstitching. 🤣 Also feel like this shiny series is blessedly timed for Pride month, all of these ensembles are giving me queer-Bird-of-Paradise vibes, and I'm here for it!! 🏳🌈🐦
Thank you Rachel!! ✨🌈
this is absolutely true
Having previously taught a class exclusively on zipper insertion, I can assure you that basting is the answer....which is why I personally avoid zippers if I can help it.
Dang it! I need more patience...
This dress looks like “gorgeous space diplomat” to me! I love it!
Thank you Lacy!
Gonna file this under "things i would wear, all the time, everwhere, including funerals and grocery store, if I could own one". My machine flips out when I get near it with stretch, and I'm pretty sure my wife would be upset if I blew the savings account on the Husqvarna of my dreams.
buy the machine 🤣 my best friend has two husqvarna machines and they’re powerhouses. well worth the expense.
What a rude little machine to be so sensitive! Check craigslist for a cheapy ancient one, my 1955 doesn't mind the stretch and spandex wasn't even invented when she was made 😂
AHH!!!! Space villain energy!! YES. PLEASE.
Team Obsessed for sure. I do not know where to wear this either, but I guess I will try in future what corporate office withstands 😀😂
this is insaaaaaaaane. I thought I loved your retrofuture real estate agent outfit but WHATEVER THIS IS has stolen my heart.
Thank you!
If I ever get super powers I want you to design my costume. I’ll be waiting for that trench coat, it sounds amazing!
I don't think you should apologize. I am thoroughly loving your current Shine™ period!
Thank you Chae! I always think "surely no one wants to see another shiny thing?" but then the video does better than I expect, so clearly I should just keep sewing 😅❤️
Wow, magnificent. Even better you could hide a pocket under the peplum.
I would totally do that!
OMG absolutely amazing. You could keep making razy colorblocked things like this forever and I'd never stop watching. You are spectacular
Thank you Nicole!
Arriving ANYWHERE in that will be AN OCCASION!! For dogsake, it would even elevate taking out the recycling!!! Just WOW!!!
Thank you!! I'll host a space themed dinner party sometime I hope 😂✨
I can’t tell you how amazing this looks. Your creativity and proficiency is outstanding. Such a fan! This is new series of yours is my favorite. Keep it up and thank you for being such a source of creativity!
Thank you so much! 💜
I NEED these sleeves in my life. 😍😍
I have made 3 dresses with these sleeves...so far 😂❤️
You in this dress popped on screen and I spontaneously said, out loud, "Oh my Gawd that is freaking awesome!!" Couldn't help it. Wow!!
THESE BEETLE WINGS ARE EEEEVERYTHING!!! Oh my god. I want a beetle dress but with either a black or daaark purple with the shiny wings. Wowowooww this is my new fav project of yours!!
Yes on those sleeves!
Thank you Deborah!
The one and only Space Insect Queen. Stunned!
Thank you!!
I remember when you made the color blocking total recall dress, that it was very dificult for you and now you are doing things far more complicated and using different types materials and mastering the technique!!!.
Amazing series...
Thank you Belinda!
@@TheClosetHistorian 😊
This is just... chef's kiss!! It really gives me "Bride of Chaotica running errands about town and meeting her bestie for tea" vibes.
Thank you!! ✨❤️
I'm loving this vintage punk sort of look! It actually reminds me of The Jetsons! It's so much fun!
Thank you!
You ARE the event if you walk in like this. It's GORGEOUS. If people have songs written about them, this needs a movie ✨🔥✨
Ha! Thank you!
Looving this game of thrones meets black mirror era design, cant wait to watch the video!
The epicness of those sleeves 😍 I need them in my life
The world needs more epic sleeves! ✨
It most certainly does 😊
This is my favourite one so far, that fabric and colour is breathtaking and I think that peblem elevated it to become just that little more exquisite
Thank you! I may use this same peplum again on the next one ✨
I think this screams future New Year’s Eve party vibes and I love it 🥰
Thank you for sharing your work. Those sleeves are amazing, you look stunning in that dress.
Thank you Sharon!
The organza you used for the sleeve reminded me of the trench coat the girl from blade runner wore I’m loving the series of unusual fabrics very much
Thank you Gwen!
That dress and fabric combo are glorious! Also perfect timing on how to make those sleeves. I'm about to start on a dramatic house robe and was thinking of making sleeves just like that!
Thank you! Epic sleeves are a gift ✨
This is the best part of my Thursday nights every week
Thank you! ❤️
wow that dress is awesome! Nothing I personally would wear but I love the design! Designs like this are the reason I think sewing isnt a "craft" as many say (or not only) but art!
Thank you! ❤️
15:13 The transition! The change in your voiceover! 😂 It is perfection! I am so looking forward to how you put this together and the reveal 🤩
Oh. My. God. This project... Your dress is amazing! Like, it's so gorgeous, dramatic, a _statement_ and I like what it says!! It needs a better word than dress, something grand, but idk what it could be.
Y'know, actually, I know exactly what your dress made me think of, and feel - it's that iconic quote from the movie Addams Family Values, where Gomez Addams says:
Woo her, admire her. *Make her feel like she is the most sublime creature on Earth.*
♥️ Loved this. I just loved this! ♥️
Thank you!
that is simply stunning. of course now i need a vintage-style futuristic gown of my own.
Thank you Kat! Do ittt!
This is fantastic! lol looks like something Padme would haven worn in Star Wars
Thank you Jessie! Padme is style goals for sure!!
This may be my favorite yet. I love watching you sew, you do such a beautiful job. It is absolutely lovely on you. You should be very proud of yourself.
Thank you Barbara!
Love the sleeves! Also love how you did your hair 😁😁
Thank you!
I am totally here for all these retro future looks. This one is my favorite so far.
Thank you!
Epic dress! Love it - don't know where you would wear it, but who cares, it was fun to see it come together. Another great video! Thank you.
Thank you Jojo!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm loving the space queen looks that you’re putting together, they're so amazing!!!!! 👏👏💙
Thank you Josie!
You could wear it to a retro-futuristic-blacklight hologram prewedding surprise party. Or, possibly just to to the party as the mad alchemist black light hologram bar tender?
Or trader joes!
This is the type of dress that should be on the red carpet.!,
Thank you Julie!
This would be killer on a red carpet. Those sleeves are to die for!😍
Thank you! What would the modern fashion folks do with me 🤣
That dress is epic and the rich red is surely your color! Stunning!
Thank you Susan!
WOW! This dress is so cool! Love it...Great job!
Thank you Denise!
This is nothing short of INCREDIFABULASTIC!
Thank you!!
😍 so beautiful! A night out just to walk under the flourescent lights... with a get up like that, who needs a specific destination ♡ just bringing a bit of your magic out into the world
Thank you!
Great video!
The side back looks ok, actually. I think we're all more aware of the flaws in our sewing projects, even when they aren't really that noticeable. I love the iridescent sleeve lining. I should make a dress like this the next time I'm invited to a spaceship party ;)
Thank you Flora! I am temped to make more iridescent sleeves in the future for sure!
Ahhh I love it! This is so fun! The peplum and sleeves 🤩💜💜💜💜! I feel like this is a dress that gives you an excuse to make up epic party themes lol.
Thank you Reina! I luckily love an extra themed party
This is so Flash Gordon! Love it! And yes everyone should be prepared to be a sci-fi evil doer!
Thank you Teresse!
EPIC sleeves!!! This dress may be one of my favorite projects that I’ve seen you tackle yet.
Thank you!!
I've been loving your retro futurism projects, I feel like we're really getting to see your creativity run wild! Every project has been inspiring
Thank you Kiki!
This is another stunning dress … just STUNNING!!
Thank you Debi!
Another fantastic make. I'm loving the sleeves and their twirl possibilities.
Thank you Chastity!
W H O A !!! Magnificent.... Retro, Visionist Vintage Fashion! You go girlfriend.
Thank you!
OMG!! This is wonderful ❤️
Thank you Mary!
What an epic dress. The sleeves, with the fitted undersleeves, are so gorgeous.
Thank you Gillian!
This dress is awesome. Definitely the sort of dress a lizard-alien in a human disguise would wear, in the best possible way.
Thank you! ✨
Luv that dress! And you're right, it's best to be prepaired for all possible occations. I'm quite sure Richard Branson will be giving you a call next launch.
You in that dress is stunning. You really bring the dress to life.
Thank you Phyllis!
Ooooh! I was just looking for this!! Had a day of sewing a Darth Vader balloon for next years raffle quilt… very successful … I’ve been waiting with bated breath for this one🖤
This has nothing to do with the dress really but I just wanted to say how happy I am to see the word “bated” as in bated breath, spelt correctly for once. Thank you, you’ve made my day :)
The dress is freaking amazing!
Thank you Mariia!
“Kind of spectacular”…. Kind of…… this is DAZZLING!
Thank you!!
Retro futurism for fashion is fun, and I am HERE for it.
Thank you Renee!
Wow, just WOW! The dress is stunning 😍😍😍
Thank you Jane!
This is epic! I can't help but think of a powersuit when you used those reflective fabrics. Something about it just scream high power!
Thank you!
That is so fantastic!!! I love it! We need this movie now too!!!!
Thank you! Will need a clone to get it all written....
Omg....omg....this is seriously the most beautiful garment that I can imagine....
This dress is AMAZING. Those sleeves are so cool!
Thank you!
I love the retro future series! Amazing dress as always. Thank you!
Thank you Iara!
My ST:TOS childhood is so happy.
OMG! Would love to see a trenchcoat in that green! LOVE the sleeves on that dress!
Thank you Jacqueline! Green plus iridescence is perfection in my book 😂✨
Oh my god, this is fabulous! I don't know what more to say -- this might be my favourite dress you've ever done.
Thank you Cheryl!
That dress is amazing. You should make the trench coat.
Thank you!
UTTERLY FABULOUS!!! You need to take all of these amazing futuristic dresses and make a short film about a woman who moves to another planet and needs each dress for a specific occasion. The kittens could make a guest appearance as her fabulous pets.
Ha! Thank you Jean!
Those sleeves are giving me everything I needed today and more! Love love love!
Gotta love an epic sleeve ❤️✨
Kimono-esque and just gorgeous. Please continue in this most amazing work.
Thank you Jeannette!
I literally SCREAMED when I saw the finished dress
yesssss. also the music for the reveal was so well chosen, i had to pause before seeing the final product because i could tell by the music that i should sit down and put all my focus into witnessing this, and the music was correct
Same!!
Thank you so much!
Beetle Space Queen! 🪲 🌌 👸
In the wise words of Rachel Maksey "What goes on in the back of me is not my business" :)
GLORIOUS! The sleeves! The iridiescence! Also organza trech coat YES!
Thank you! I figure every gal needs a sheer organza trench coat no?
I would love to see that organza in a Peggy Sue Gets Married type prom dress but then accessorize with black and make it kind of goth and horror movie-esque. Love this piece. It's a work of art!
The old sci-fi serials of the 40s only *wish* they had you onboard. The dress is brilliant, and you look brilliant in it.
Thank you Richard!
The peplum IN THE BACK is so Gorgeous I am obsessed. I live for the fantasy fabrics!
Thanks Thea!! 💜✨
I recently started pattern drafting with your fantastic videos, and while it always looks easy when you do it, it uses up all of my brain power... I've come to the conclusion that you must be a pattern drafting genius, and this dress confirms my hypothesis :D
Thank you! It is one of the few math-ish things that comes naturally to me 😂
Wow. Bianca, make whatever makes you happy.
Thank you Alicia!
It's magnificent. And now I know just what to wear if I ever have to attend a meeting with alien diplomats.
Thank you Hannah!
This dress is simply majestic! It seems perfect for a red carpet or a *very* glamorous cocktail party!
Thank you!
I love this…. It really is epic! I can’t think of a better word…
Thank you Janice!
Actually love it! Great theatrics, great for fancy dress parties, and the ultimate attention getter- it needs an accompanying hat
Quite spectacular! Looks so good. I like your idea of making a trench coat with iridescent fabric. I would enjoy a video of that project.
Thank you Beth!
