    My dream is to be wealthy enough to commission a dress from you and important enough to have somewhere to wear it. This is so beautiful.

      @Mermaidofhope Місяць тому +18

      You are already important enough, my dear. ❤ wear it whereever you would like, don't wait for the "right occasion" to wear it. You will create your own important events by wearing it with love and joy. ❤

      ⁠​⁠@@sempi8159i mean it would take years to get to the skill level frieda is at. Not to mention the amount you would spend on fabric to practice. And then buying patterns and other sewing supplies. Then the time it would take to make something like that. It would be more achievable to just save up some money and then find an occasion to wear it.

    This dress is so charming! The pleats are so satisfying. I love how soft the whole thing is. I’m so glad it turned out how you wanted!

  • @bunhelsingslegacy3549
    @bunhelsingslegacy3549 Місяць тому +11

    For someone who claims they have no curves, that style of skirt is awfully flattering! I may have to see if that style works on my lack of curves too! "Use the bulk of the pleats to fake having hips" is a trick I've used before with a wide curved waistband on a pleated skirt of heavy fabric, but dear gods did you ever do it better than I did! And I love how you can just quickly whip out a set of stays, I'm still in the mockup stage with mine.
    The balloon thing worked really well! I'm glad I got to see how it's done.

    You are so right, the smoothness of the bodice with the abundant pleats is everything. Loved how you built the heavy pleats before attaching. Adorable dress…will now be hunting for cotton velvet. Thank you!

  • @spontaneousun
    @spontaneousun Місяць тому +9

    The period inspired corset in combination with the pleats which reminds me of neck ruffs and very structured historical skirts is absolute perfection! The beads really added something magical and the bodice is so so satisfyingly smooth. Truly a testament to your skill. It’s a beautiful dress ❄️

    No-o way! This is so beautiful! Not only the shape (the flattering, Vivenne Westwood-ish-but-better shape), but the craftsmanship- Ohh, I'm so excited I literally bounce on place. And the velvet...
    This is really another level of preciseness and experience. I think I'm in love

    Just, stunning! Would make a fabulous wedding dress, and would look so cute, with bloomer's just short of the length of the dress.
    To get more poof at the bottom, you need your lining shorter than your skirt.(I must of made 100 puffball skirts at Fashion College, in the late 80's lol) I do the same when doing puff sleeves lol Also try a gathered, layer of net between your fabric and lining.

    I love everything you make. For this dress, the bubbles would have been rounder and fluffier if you used bunched netting at the bottom, between the lining and the velvet. But then, with so much cotton velvet used for the skirt, which is heavier, it might not work. Please keep on creating beautiful things.

    I've been watching all your videos for a while now. Your construction is unparalleled and the designs are showstoppers. Might sound weird but I invested in the same iron as you because your seams always look so crispy, and I needed a new one because i would spend 30 mins ironing some bias binding... Love your work, can't wait to see what you make in the future.

  • @GM-qq1wi

    This construction reminds me of the construction described to create look #10, Schiaparelli Haute Houture F/W 2024.
    I can't remember exactly how it was described, but essentially a layer of lambs wool batting was applied over the entire corset/bustier and then covered with the final layer of satin. This created that smooth, boneless appearance of the dress, and visually complimenting the construction of the shoe seen on the back of the dress.
    In some photos of the dress in mid construction, you can see the top layer of satin has been pulled tightly across all dimensions and pinned to the edge/underside of the corset bustier before finalising its position with stitches.

    Hi, After having seen the North Star gown and now this dress combined with the fact that I don't know one thing about you except that you make beautiful things. This dress reminds me of a tutu for some ballet. Maybe if you don't make them already, you should? Yours, Ann
