I liked the original dress for what it was meant to be - a corset dress. This one looks like a brand new patters, especially playing with the direction of the shine of the fabric. Very satisfying, since the color is my favorite. Beautiful work, Freda!

Thank you! I agree, they are both different dresses and it was fun to see what can be done with the same pattern!

It looks beautiful. I like the brown dress best. The angle gathers from the back are stunning. I did watch the white dress video as well. Turning some of the patterns pieces to get a darker shade was brilliant. I enjoy all of your videos. They are produced very well and have an ethereal quality which is relaxing as well. Looking forward to more. I’m 73 yrs old and my mom taught me to sew when I was about 10 yrs old. I’m from the west coast of Canada. Take care.

I watched the reveal and final thoughts of it first video again and noticed the fit of the top of the corset. While I think the first dress was beautiful, I can understand your disappointment that it didn’t meet your expectations and your vision of the design. The play with the fabric sheen accentuated the seams and the Watteau pleats added drama to the second dress. It’s truly gorgeous. I hope you will be able to use this lovely design at some point in the future. Thank you for sharing your creative processes, inspiration, and meticulous work.

It turned out so beautifully. I love the silhouette, and the crisp lines over the corset only a very skilled seamster could create. Your work is just so technically proficient and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your process.

I love how different the two dresses are. It's as if they're basically two dresses and therefore can't be compared too much.

Both dresses have their merits, they are both lovely in their own ways for what they were intended to be, but the drama of this one fills my mind full of fabric ideas.

Absolutely stunning Frieda. It’s historical, It’s modern. The variation in sheen added so much extra to the front. It’s just lovely. If last weeks dress had been in literally any other color, I think it would have been a success. It’s just so hard not to see undergarments when you have exposed boning and ivory together. Had it been in a plum it would have given a totally different vibe. I really love how you rolled with it and kept going. I have had many projects that have issues and they get tossed aside and it takes me forever to finish because I get stuck on what to do to fix the problems. It’s a problem that a lot of us makers have and I like seeing how people problem solve when things aren’t always perfect.

I think that's the first time I've seen Watteau pleats done in a way that doesn't make me say, "Ugh, WHYYYY?" Cool detail. Thanks for showing us your process for taking something you weren't happy with and turning it into something you really like!
@onglesnailz50393 күн бұрын
OMG I LOVE this version of the dress. The fabric is beautiful and the final result with the way the fabric is placed on the sides from top to basque is unique and has a very stunning effect with the back length. Well well done Frieda, you are sooooo talented!!
@hannahstraining74762 күн бұрын
While I love the drama of those back pleats and the train, what most draws my eye are the beautiful lines of the corset/bodice. They look like a modernist abstraction of a tulip to me, and there are some beautiful brown tulips, so the color only adds to that look for me. I appreciate how thoughtful and intentional your work is, and how you are willing to rework a design that doesn't feel right to you.

I love both dresses and videos. Im really glad you uploaded both. Sometimes projects just aren’t what you want, and I think it’s valuable seeing the process you used to adjust the second dress to your desired outcome. Lots of different techniques!

I love the contrast you achieved with the sheen directions. It looks like different fabric, it's very cool. And the design is beautiful. I really like how the gathering stops right before the mid point in the front but then keeps going in the back for an almost faux cape. The brown is very autumnal too. It's beautiful. I liked the white dress too, but it's nice to see something repurposed into something else that makes the owner happier Also, you have the most beautiful hands. I love watching you work. Hopefully that doesn't sound weird

Frieda, I honestly think that you are brilliant! I love the way you treat the act of sewing. You make it into an art form ( which it is) you show the design of your work, and it's such a beautiful thing to see! Off topic and strange question... is that your everyday sketch/ design book? Do you always keep a sample of the fabrics you used? Did you go to art school at all? I took art classes for 4 + years. I was going to school to get my degree in Psychology and to have at least one totally relaxing class ( it was not always relaxing lol) I took art every semester. I have always drawn, painted, sewn, built thing's, etcetera and it makes me feel... well a lot of good feelings 😊 Sorry, enough talk of myself! Back to you. Some of the techniques you use , and all the different pens, markers and pencils, and the way you keep your supplies aka tools of your trade, it reminds me of art class. I especially liked that you did this episode. ▪︎I don't know the exact, or even correct words used for KZbin... I think it is brave and very, very useful, inspiring and insightful to admit you didn't like the way one if your pieces turned out! It's especially great that you explained what you weren't happy with and why. Then showing what you were going to do to fix/ change the dress! Wonderful, and for so many people who think everyone on KZbin and other platforms are perfect, or better than them. I found this very good. The design you ended up designing is so beautiful! I knew the material was going to be from your mother's dress as soon as I saw the color you were using! It's so sumptuous. I also live that you use your materials so resourceful, responsible and with respect for our planet. I hope it reminds others to use what you have . Wow, this has turned into a book, sorry about that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and process with us all! It really is such a joy. I always learn something, and I'm always uplifted and filled with the desire to work on some form of art. I wish you happiness & love, Audri
@friedalepold3 күн бұрын
Hey Audri! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support. I always make my videos trying to show how beautiful the art of sewing is, so I’m happy you appreciate that ♥️ the book I’m drawing my sketches in is only for designs and mostly for KZbin actually:) and I do keep swatches of the fabrics, I have one board where I pin them all, it’s sometimes in the background of the videos :) I actually came to sewing via other “art forms” when I was younger I sketched a lot and was really into hyper realistic drawings. Then I started with photography and for that I started to make outfits - and now we are here. So I can relate to you always doing creative things and especially feeling a lot doing it! This video made a lot of fun because fixing the things I wasn’t happy with brings so much more joy and it’s often not possible because of the timing and deadlines, so starting with KZbin helped with that because I can work on my own projects more! I’m really happy you like my videos and that they inspire you, that really means a lot to me!
