Very beautiful sketch, I just noticed a spelling mistake at 00:18

I wish you would have kept the black around the bottom, very elegant...jmt

[@DanielaTabois]

I agree. I got lazy. #sewingstruggles

[@katphyre]

That was exactly what I thought too. I really liked the black hem in the drawing. I'm pretty impressed you drew this at 18. Had you already decided fashion was something you were interested in? When did you finally learn to sew?

"why is it messy in here?" dfjsdfhds i forgot how much of a tailor/seamtress thing it is to have a messy workroom... my parents's sewing room (the garage) was messy growing up just like my own sewing area is today 😂

[@hearts44xemariaa89]

Aw you took after your parents

[@Shridra]

My poor sewing machine has been sitting in a corner for a year and a half since I got pregnant and had no energy, and then dealing with a young'un. This makes me want to dig it out and design something!

[@EmotionallyDistanced]

Shridra Hey! I know it’s a year late, but you could make something for your Kid! Like a little dress or tuxedo, or maybe ask them to design something(If they’re old enough) and give it to them as a Birthday Present or Christmas Gift! Or just on a Special Occasion. Or maybe you could make something a bit more comfortable, like a Onesie!

[@aisha5156]

Ali Bird Good thinking.

[@katielora3186]

I was really sad to see the black border at the bottom go, it sort of tied it together a bit better, but overall I really like how it turned out. Very 90's barbie meets new york runway 💜

[@katielora3186]

I saw, thank you :) I'm so glad she did it really did make it so much prettier and polished looking

[@rose-gl4io]

Nah, I think it looked better without the black border

[@kit4217]

@@rose-gl4io i disagree but thats your opinion

[@ItsDarrisha]

Meee tooo

[@urmom7449]

I think it would’ve been cool if you had also added the black at the bottom like in the drawing 😊

[@gigi3509]

I felt the same 😞

[@monicatate8809]

Ya that would look nice

[@candace200]

honestly all of the original details she changed I would have personally preferred: the black on the bottom, the backless feature, and the pointed ends on the bow.

[@rose-gl4io]

Nah, it looks better without it

[@jayjaybruce5022]

The sound the scissors make when you cut the fabric is just so satisfying and this dress is a work of art I love it 10/10 if I were a bigger fan of pink I would wear this to my prom

[@kit4217]

You can use blue, green, yellow, purple, etc.

[@yrowley699]

I love seeing the pretty lass in the long, pink, strapless prom dress with black long gloves. She looks very smart indeed.

[@RainyRunningRiver]

Its very 50's Barbie

[@stevem7189]

OMG YE IT IS!!!!!

[@ciannacoleman5125]

True but it is also classic and timeless

[@47BBY]

I think the black border on the skirt would have both "grounded" the design and made the bump at the top of the horsehair less noticeable, and I agree that the tail on the bow could be adjusted-maybe making the edge come to a point for a slightly softer transition to the bottom? Nice recreation and very interesting on the petticoat!

[@Kalisayswhat]

I also think that with some black straps it would have made it more classic 50s chic.

[@sistahcool3533]

Was just going to say the exact same thing about that horrible bottom hem.

[@thealchemist3102]

Two things you did: you drew that naturally Or You have a fairy godmother

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

That’s it! It’s 50’s Barbie mixed with Cinderella! Yes! The bow!

[@priscillak7151]

I'm like 11 but your really inspiring me to design and make clothes since I can draw aswell

[@arya5097]

You are at the perfect age to think about it. I used to draw dresses when i was young and people in my family told me that i could become a fashion designer in future. I really thought about it and decided to become a fashion designer. I'm in highschool right now but I'll definitely study fashion designing after I'm done with this.😊

[@aisha5156]

Arya Yadav Me too. I’m 12 and my friends, family and teachers(the ones who know I draw) all think I can draw. Mostly just trying to focus on anatomy which I’ve basically gotten down. I have been practicing. I also wanted a career with design and I decided fashion design. I can’t wait to go to a school for it, especially since I wanna start practicing early. Wonder how that’ll work out.

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

Oh I’m almost twelve, I’m looking for ideas for prom dresses ( I’m young ik, but it’s harder cuz I’m a tomboy and it’s hard to find a dress that matches my style ). I never really thought about studying design and fashion. I might consider it! Thanks girls!

This video was randomly recommended to me. You have no idea how happy I am I found your channel. I have been wanting to learn to sew, bought a sewing machine, fabric, thread etc. Tried after watching a few KZbinrs. And got frustrated. Been looking for a sista. I cannot stand people (other channels) who talk down to others and make us feel like it's something we should already know. If I knew, I would not be watching your video. Thank you for sharing your talent😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤧 New sub❤️🇨🇦🍁🙌. Now on to binge watch 🤪

[@DanielaTabois]

Thanks GirL!!

[@s2lLandals2]

It looks very expensive and high quality! I wasn't sure about the bow but... This is fantastic! You made it into a masterpiece, and it was your 18 year old self who created this!

[@SuperSkyhorse]

I love the bow, it goes really well with the dress and doesn't make it seem childish, but rather elegant and not boring, as it would be without the bow.

[@yuckyyucky9734]

this is so sweet n wholesome this is the kind of genuine vibes we need in 2019

[@nkonko945]

Gorgeous dress! Reminds me of a Barbie dress. You look fabulous in it!

[@leannabealemusic]

Oh dang, you know what, i think i had a Barbie dress like that! It IS Barbie-looking!

[@SpillitBoyTV]

Your sewing is always dead ON. Your look absolutely stunning in the gown. I love it all, the horsehair in the hem really made it come to life in a Disney kind of way. Another great video, thanks.

[@raquelandre649]

The confidence she radiates at the end... Absolutely wonderful

Yesss!

[@taraharrison9354]

Literally my first thought when I saw the thumbnail, I was like oooooohh that Dior silhouette!

[@PottyLottie]

I looooove this but I personally would’ve preferred you’d left more of the black elements in, like in your design the bottom had a black strip the same as the top of the bodice. I think it broke up the pink nicely. But I could never do what you just did so I’m not about to sit here and try and act like I know wth I’m talking about 😂 you’re so clever, beautiful dress x

[@user-qc9iw9se5i]

id still want a dress like this for my prom in a couple years, it's stunning and has such a classic look while also maintaing it's own individuality and being so different.

[@daniellediller5070]

I love it I can easily see a princess wearing it. The simple design of it is what made it so elegant.🤩😍

[@AlexMarieDIY]

I always admire your construction skills. Beautiful gown, loved your final look. I vote for the black trim on the skirt hem too.

[@badkitty0in0a0corset]

I’ve noticed that a huge percentage of the dressmaking girls on KZbin are women of colour - I’m curious about whether there is a cultural reason for this? So many talented ladies making such beautiful clothes! This dress for example - what a knockout!!

[@aspiringeyecandy4856]

I'm Nigerian and sewing is more often than not, amongst other skills, taught to us. We always wear custom dresses and most of us like the freedom of choice making our own clothes, or at least being able to alter it, gives us. Ofcourse not everyone is involved in more professional sewing, my mother and several extended relatives are, but I stitch, crochet( I'm unable to crochet clothes yet because I haven't practiced in almost a year), bead (bags, belts, jewellery, etc) and braid. I'm quite young and had been practicing all of these as hobbies but now, since I have a gap year, I hope to add sewing to the list and polish my skills in all the other handiwork I've learnt. I have several friends who have marketable skills as well (cooking, activities in ict, programming, Cisco related practices, etc) I also am able to do all the above, except programming. Majority of us learn the basics in school and build off of it depending on interest, so there are people more invested in artistic pursuits (singing, instrument playing, dancing, acting, writing, etc) and people interested in more scientific or tech-based pursuits, there are also others who dabble in all sectors (I being one of them). Sorry if I ranted a bit, I just wanted to give you a mental picture of how common handiwork like this can be in our culture.

[@jasminvargas9398]

I’m Mexican and these skills are instilled into the girls of the family from a young age. Even though I was the only one in my family to learn it all.

[@xandelta5306]

I guess its part of the culture!! Most of us are either taught such stuff at a young age, or have an interest in designing for some reason, lol.

[@solanaseraphina]

Stop using the term women of color. Please. You're just making white people sound more special.

[@netxamv2215]

Gracey Page you’re the only person I’ve seen that gets offended by the term “women of color”, how is it not an appropriate term
