BALL SKIRT TUTORIAL | Removable Skirt

[@PoppyPatternsPDF]

I used this pattern for my wedding reception dress and it was SO much fun to wear, so many layers of playful tulle! Thank you 💕

[@karla_roble]

Awww… Omg how exciting!!! 😍😍 you just made my day! Thank youuu! 🤗

[@a-mpatton8780]

Did you layer more than one layer of tulle? I am thinking of the same thing but want my skirt to be more opaque xo

[@PoppyPatternsPDF]

@@a-mpatton8780 I did! I layered one layer of ivory tulle over two layers of a soft blue.

So gorgeous! Sadly I do understand that sewing will never be one of my talents and that’s ok! I still can admire the skill it takes to make such beautiful clothes!

The intro! I’m so glad you left the video as is. Real life! Great video

Thank you for this video, just watched even it’s old. Super easy lesson, and you are very cute and funny

[@nanushka8286]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’m planning on sewing my own prom dress (I’m 6.1 and can’t find anything that looks good and fits) and that skirt is exactly what I’m looking for !(doing this with black tulle)

[@karla_roble]

Ahhh! Yayyy! Let me know how it goes! 🥰😍

[@plantyskies]

Black tulle for me too! But i will only have the right half in a skirt so i will make it work a little differently. Cousins Queer Wedding will have us all serve looks.

[@finding_jess]

Honestly subscribed because you fell, said “gonna cut that” and then left it in. I love the sincerity 😊 great vibe and great informative video

[@karla_roble]

Hahaha!! Awww thank youuuuu!! 🥰 Appreciate you so so much! 🫠💘

[@TheJoyNinjaNZ]

Beautiful - and I love seeing the horsehair brings the whole thing to life

[@karla_roble]

Only seeing this now. Ah! Thank youuuuuu! Horsehair for sure works like magic!

[@ForGodsglory77]

Wow amazing I’ve never seen that technique with plastic around the waist to make the gather.

[@GlitterBeeBoutique]

I just found your channel and am so excited! I am going to attempt this skirt this weekend. I’m a photographer and this is going to be a great addition to my client closet (I hope 😅)

[@danetteperez3863]

How many yards of fabric did you use and what width? Can you please tell how much yardage of horsehair was necessary for hem? Did you stitch the top of the horsehair also to the dress, or just the bottom?? And how was the waistband finished?

[@karla_roble]

@@danetteperez3863 i believe at least 8 with 58” wide.. can’t remember how much horsehair, it really depends on how full you make it. Hehe

[@TulipxMariposa]

Last year I watched this video to make my swanlake dress as I didn't understand how to drape a skirt. This helped me so much. It has really helped me understand the construction of dresses. Thank you so much ❤

[@karla_roble]

@@TulipxMariposa aww thank you!! 🥰 but omg how did your swan lake dress turn out? 🫢 genuinely curious!! And truly glad this video somewhat helped you at all. Appreciate you so much for taking your time to share such kind words! 🥰🥲

[@TulipxMariposa]

@@karla_roble it did. I studied costume at university. I just didn't understand construction. Having lockdown for majority of my uni years I had to rely on other sources, this video saved me. I shall post a video of my swan lake. It is my final major project. When I post it I will personally thank you. You will also see how your video helped the silhouette of my dress!

Hi Edjoy! Yes, you may use lace fabric to make this skirt. As for the horsehair, i’m using 2” on this one ☺️ omg how’s your sister’s wedding dress going so far? I’m making one myself too, for a client hehe 🤓

[@rachelschwartz3731]

Hello! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to finish the skirts hem if you want to keep a softer drape than the horsehair provides?

[@karla_roble]

Hi! You can do a double roll of about 1/8” ☺️ you can also leave it raw, just make sure you cut it evenly and seamlessly since english mesh doesn’t fray ☺️

[@nancylewis5616]

[@larissaham9600]

I love this video, is it also possible to make this with a non see-through fabric? If yes what fabrics are recommendable? (I'm fully new in sewing)

[@karla_roble]

Thank youuu! It is definitely very possible to make in a non see through fabric! Depends what kind of look you’re going for, if you want something dressy maybe Tafetta, or Satin? Something not too thick or heavy so it’s not so bulky at the waist when you ruche/gather it ☺️

[@DontFluffTheFairies]

So beautiful! What kind of tulle did you use and where did you buy it?

[@karla_roble]

@@DontFluffTheFairies thank you so much! It’s called english tulle.. got it in downtown LA at the fabric district ☺️

[@karla_roble]

Lol thank you so much! 🥰 and im really glad it made you laugh! ☺️

[@goldfishloves]

this was so helpful, thank you! it looked like 1 seam of each panel was on the selvage/straight grain, did you sew straight grain edges to bias edges, or straight to straight? does that affect the way it drapes?

[@karla_roble]

Hello!! Yes! Great observation.. i drape it right on the bias so sew lines will be along the selvage (warp) on one and the weft on the other. As for the sewing, i try to sew the wefts together and then the warp. There will be one seam where you will have to sew a weft and warp together but the rest should be the aforementioned. Drape should be okay as long as you sew it carefully ☺️

[@kaylamiller1572]

@@karla_roble is there a reason to go weft to weft and warp to warp? Or just preference? I'm trying to learn those kind of tips

[@ross22may]

How wide does the fabric has to be? and how many meters of fabric would you recommend? thanks :)

[@karla_roble]

58” up… the wider the better of course ☺️

[@stateofgrace03]

how many yards of fabric? also can i use tulle instead of mesh?

[@karla_roble]

Hi Abbie! For this skirt i used about. 8-10 yds.. it really depends on full you’d like it to be. As for the type of materials, tulle should work as well ☺️☺️

if you where doing multiple layers of tulle would you sew horsehair on each layer?

Only way to know is to try. Give it a whirl. Good luck you’ll do great

[@karla_roble]

Omg you’re so sweet Shreya! So sorry for the late response, haven’t been on here in a while. But yes, if you’re afraid to cut you can always start by marking the cut line with a chalk and then lay it flat so you can true it! And then cut away! ☺️☺️

[@tabatamastalir8898]

Hi um quick question: can one use any kind of fabric or does it have to be a light flowy one for that kind of skirt?

[@karla_roble]

Hi! Yes any kind of fabric works (just nothing too heavy).. and you might need to modify the gather on the skirt a bit and reduce it, that way it doesn’t get too bulky around the waist! ☺️
