sew godets THIS WAY to make taking-in skirts 100% easier!

[@camille.c]

I would love to see you do a mini-series on identifying fit issues! Sometimes we wonder why things don't look good but we don't have a tailor's experience to spot the problem points. Bodices+skirts, pants, and jackets/coats are 3 categories that come to mind :)

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! I definitely need to do that 🥰

[@tambriggs]

Oh yes, I would love that too :)

[@MariaRamos-zs4db]

Good idea, I agree.

[@jaynedaily6080]

👍👍

[@manuellebron3404]

Funny, entertaining and very instructional. Thanks for sharing!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰

Using the tiny mannequin and tiny dress is GENIUS, thank you for that! It is sometimes difficult for a tailoring newbie like me to follow along with the life-size garments...the tiny one made it very easy to understand! And it's always fun to make/see doll clothes ;) Thanks for the great tutorial as always!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@nancydann1332]

Thank you for this video. I have to add a godet to an evening gown with a high slit that is NOT along a seam. I have been trying to find a video for 3 days and yours is the first one that makes sense. I didn't even know the word godet until your video. Thank you. I can fix the slit now with your help!

[@allisonjoel1]

Great demonstration using a small mannequin. Your video's are priceless.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰

I worked on a dress with godets yesterday and I simply created a pleat on the back. If my client didn’t like that, I can now follow your precious tutorial to have it like it was originally. Muchas gracias! 🇧🇷☺️

[@DowntownTailoring]

Gracias! A pleat is a great idea too!

[@RandomalinaLF]

Great explanation! So helpful, I always struggle with godets to the point where I avoid them lol but maybe now I can try it! 😅

[@DowntownTailoring]

Good luck 👍 💓 ✨️

[@CleverEwe]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I need to add godets to some articles of clothing. Now I know I can.

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰

[@lindak8664]

Getting paid to make clothes for grown ups dolls sounds good to me! 🤭 I love godets, haven’t sewn one for years though. They give skirts such lovely swoosh, and who doesn’t like extra swoosh!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yesss! Agreed 🥰

[@ReinaElizondo]

So cute seeing the tiny dress! You're so talented! I always wind up doing the godet point by hand because I'm not as precise with the machine.

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰

[@jaynedaily6080]

Always helpful & Well presented!

[@norma6743]

Oh so cute and is so well explained. Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I like it better without the horsehair 🤩

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes. Me too! Thanks 😊

[@clothingalterations]

You are very talented.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@TheCreativeCurator]

Love using godets for additional flare! For anyone interested, godet is originally a French word and is pronounced as 'go-day' rather than 'go-det'.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yessss! Last T is silent in French 🥰 Thanks 😊

[@patriciarodriguez3863]

As always I LOOOVE it!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰 🥰🥰

[@patriciarodriguez3863]

I’ve been rewatching some of ur videos again 😂I just love them soo much and love ur cute sweet personality that’s why I always rewatch them I actually love the horsehair on the bottom it just looks more sharp and reminds me of the old crinoline hoop skirts that went under dresses in 1800’s I guess that’s why I love it soo much it brings out the whole dress with the horsehair

[@vickieswatzell9189]

Love your videos. They have helped me in so many ways. I have a question. How in the world do you get your marker to work. Mine has this waxy feel to them and I have a hard time to get it to mark. Whats the secret to get it to work? You make it look so easy. Thank yo

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much! I'm using heat erase pen on this video. It completely disappear in most of the fabric. Cheers 🙂

[@vickieswatzell9189]

I’m sorry. I should have been more specific. I was talking about the tailors chalk marker. (The sugared one) I can never get it to work

[@DowntownTailoring]

@@vickieswatzell9189 Try this chalks. They’re a little pricey but totally worth it! 😍😍😍 www.cleanersupply.com/tailoring/measuring-marking/carmel-disappearing-tailors-chalk-36box-white/#sku=ck101wh

[@grammielovestosew7797]

Do you know if there is anywhere to purchase the halfsize manequin used or irregulars

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi! I got mine on etsy. At the DeLiangDressForms. I believe she can customize them. Good luck!

[@debbies6192]

Wow!

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰

[@kumada84]

I literally have that exact red-on-white fabric (not just the same print, I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same fabric), and I made a doll dress out of it... 👀 (It doesn't have a godet in it though 😂)

[@DowntownTailoring]

Waoooo! The fabric gave to both of us same vibes! Isn't it nice 🥰🥰🥰

[@BelindaTOV]

Thank you! Did someone win the mini me yet?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! It has already arrived to its final destination. We did a community post with the picture. You can take a look at it on our channel!
