I Used $50/yd Fabric for Cinderella's Skirt | 10,000 Swarovski Crystals + Yumissima Fabric

[@patiencenails6632]

I don't want to make a skirt like that, I don't want to store a skirt like that, I don't even want to wear a skirt like that out in public. But I really, really want to twirl around in one for a few minutes.

Wow, you absolutely nailed the rippling water effect that the original gown had when Cinderella was running from the ball. That is freaking impressive. I can't believe the Yumissima fabric is real. All of the footage of it looks like it was created using CGI or was filmed underwater. The movement of the fabric is so ethereal it's unreal.

I might be a very fussy person but you could not pay me enough to work with Yumissima. I heard someone once mention that they have an "annoyance fee" (they were taking sewing commissions). In my case, my annoyance fee would be just too high. Congratulations to you for even daring to touch that fabric!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Agreed! My annoyance fee would likely be worth more than the cost of the Yumissima. Also, I love the idea of an “annoyance fee”. I’d be putting that on anything super slippery, and especially anything with velvet!

It's so inspiring seeing you recreate something so beautiful with so much love and dedication! Also, thank you so much for your videos!

Being able to sew and dress-make at this level is truly a skill and I wouldn't mind trying to learn to sew myself one day. I'm also impressed at the level of patience and care put in, and thinking about how to charge ethically. One of the wonderful things about KZbin is that people get to see your skill and it can potentially lead to further opportunities. Wishing you luck :)

It's kind of amazing how the dress is equally magical inside the brightly lit ballroom/sewing room and outside in low lighting. Amazing design.

Absolutely precious when you're putting on your Crocs and running around. Oh the skirt is so darling. You did an excellent job. Brava brava... I can't wait to see the whole finished piece. Your pleats are perfect. Your layers are divine. Absolutely love it. Define outer layer of the chiffon, as you spin as it flows against the under layer of the skirt. It almost dances by itself. So beautiful. Absolutely impeccable. My mother always said, if you want to very beautiful dress and you can't afford a good fabric. Hold out and wait. Save your pennies. Good fabric makes such a difference. Higher quality makes such a difference. Very important. I can't get over how beautiful it is. It's so decadent! ☝🏼🧐💗

[@rosemarypaul6093]

THAT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GOWN!!! I hate to admit this, but I wanted the skirt of my wedding gown to be similar to this. I didn't want to use the "Southern Belle" kind of hoops that the shop person kept telling me would work . It had 4 levels of bone and wasn't very adjustable. I wanted it to swish and swing when I danced. I found a gown that was beautiful, expensive and I tried not to buy it, but my mom saw my eyes when I put it on and knew we were done shopping. The gown, alone, cost $800. I know that's nothing by today's standards, but it was 1981 and the shops had lots of knock offs of Princess Diana's gown at the time. $800 w/o a veil! My mother loved to sew and on my final fitting my mom shows up with this huge box , I opened it to a beautiful multi layered crinoline underskirt that pushed my skirt out and gave it a swing. I was thrilled. It did not have as many layers as your gown! But she did all of the work. and did a triple layer veil. I was so happy swishing around with my gown during the dancing. The dress lasted longer than the marriage, but it is still a beautiful memory. Years later, I wore a tank dress with a jacket & walked into a JP's office to marry the man I've been with for 30 yrs. Go figure.

Okay I’m guessing you never would- but hypothetically, if someone commissioned you to make this whole dress for them, how much would that cost?? I definitely would never be able to afford it (quality and detail like this deserves to be paid for and would surely cost thousands of dollars) but I AM morbidly curious of how much I would hypothetically have to save up in order to wear a gown like this 😂 💕

[@thenerdybunny1296]

The fabric alone is easily 10,000 dollars, plus it took 18 tailors 500 hours, so for her alone it could take 9,000 hours for her alone to make it. Even by minimum wage, not even counting cost of fabric, that is 45,000 dollars. If you want $20 per hour of work, that's 180,000 dollars. So you're looking at a dress that is the cost of a middle class house in suburbia.

[@starsun6363]

Eeeeeeeeh, does that time and price count for one cinderella dress, or the eight dresses made for the set?

[@thenerdybunny1296]

@@starsun6363 I dont know. If the 500 hours were for all 8, then it would be about a 16,000 dollar dress if it were for minimum wage, or a 33,000 dress if she were paid 20 dollars an hour.

[@seanaghpalmtree]
