I'm making my own wedding dress, it'll have a low back and draped sleeves like this. This tutorial is a life saver!

[@Sylvia-Storm]

Hope it went well. I’m just about to start making my daughters. Just sorting out patterns, fabric etc. she wants these sleeves as well.

[@MsVintagevixen]

I can't thank you enough for this video! I was just turned away from a seamstress when requesting sleeves like this. I feel confident I can make these myself and add them to my dress now 😍

[@angiep1360]

Nia's dress is flipping AMAZING!!! She did an impeccable job wow!

Amazing video! Used to be a Bridal/vintage designer, but I've been a math teacher for 20+ years. Coming out of retirement to do a dress for a friend that needs these sleeves. Bridal sewing rocks- so creative. Keep 'em coming!

[@terryjanisch905]

Looks like my first bridal fitting in a few weeks wants this done. Now I’m prepared for this option. Thank you.

[@mswierdo97]

Love this! I bought a strapless dress and the ladies at the boutique told me I had to get a cover up for it specially made , or get detachable straps for it but they wouldn’t sell them to me since they came with another dress. Luckily I found the same color and fabric as my dress and I’m gonna go get it fixed at the tailors and I’ll have to show him this! Thank you!

[@BridalSewing]

Just a warning: They may not appreciate you showing them this. Some seamsters can be offended by the thought of learning from someone else. ;) & I don't mean that in a mean way... it's just how things are.

[@mswierdo97]

Bridal Sewing Techniques you are right! I had already told them I might need alterations before I bought the dress but I got lucky it fit me perfectly , now I just need the straps! I wish I could show you the straps for advice but thank you for the warning :)

[@evachan3276]

Hi, I saw your video that was very good. I have a dress with a satin bodice and lace capped sleeves and buttons up to the neckline in back. The bride wants drape sleeve. How can I get around cutting the lace to uncap without having to sew it to some satin so it will drape.

[@nicolem376]

YESSSSSS TY!

[@BinaRamos1990]

If i have a big arms what cut should I follow? And what is the best wedding gown cloth to use?

[@mioangel1227]

TFS! Could you tell me please, how you the side back where the sleeves are attached is keep in place? Thanks!

[@sueiverson258]

Love love love the gathering technique for the boning extension... Brilliant!!! I will definitely steal this one! Oh and btw- any seamster whom thinks they know it all is, frankly not worth paying. Anyone who thinks anyone can know it all is either really stupid or just plain delusional. I have been doing alterations professionally since 1984 and I still learn. All the time. I live by the old saying that whatever is not growing is dead!

[@BridalSewing]

That'a a great saying! :)

[@Amanda-cd6dm]

Finally, someone gets me

[@ambercotrone]

This is so inventive and helpful! I’d love to see a remake of this video with a non lacy dress to see how that makes a difference :)

[@BridalSewing]

You would mainly need to perfectly match the fabric and do a very neat job. Lace makes things easier, that is for sure! :)

Sure. Go to my channel home page and type in "sleeves" & it will give you info on lace sleeves.

Hi can you pls make a tutorial step by step on how to make your own wedding gown. From the diffrent kind of tela .

Thank you! I would have never ever thought of this on my own! Pure genius! Do you mind me asking how much something like this cost?

[@BridalSewing]

AllSewn Up the whole labor segment of the strap reconfiguration ran around $120. Materials cost was about $15.

[@raineydaygirl5970]

Hello. Is this piece a simple tube gathered at each end? Made from rectangle? I’m wondering if you fan it down at armpit- (I have spaghetti straps), in order to make more space (droop) lower down. I’m adding to a beaded cocktail dress using light, drapey sequin fabric. I’ll wrap the straps to add button & make it removable. Thx!

You are AWESOME . . BTW, the French say a-LON-son, with the stress on 2nd syllable

[@BridalSewing]

Thank you. & thank you for mentioning that in such a kind way! I've been beat up about that quite rudely online before. I basically can't say it right. Lol If I try, I sound ridiculous! I say it really slow and embarrassing, so once I was told you can pronounce it more similar to the American name of "Allison" and that would be vaguely acceptable, I latched onto that. Lol Thank you for your patience!! 😂

[@heatherfaust7643]

My wedding dress has spaghetti straps and a low back and I wanted to get the straps changed to off the shoulder tulle straps that sit just on the outside of my shoulder, so it wouldn't be draping down like the straps shown in the examples. Will I still need my seamstress to add that extra high boning or will it be able to function without it?

[@BridalSewing]

High boning would be best. Other options are: accept very little range of motion, or attach the straps with some elastic, or use knit, (stretchy) lace, or keep spaghetti straps and attach draping straps to them.

[@heatherfaust7643]

@@BridalSewing Thank you for the advice!

[@primrose3982]

Hey I've been trying to find a pattern for off shoulder draped long sleeves. Have you ever made such a thing?

[@BridalSewing]

I usually just drape them on the bride to make a custom pattern for each case.

[@symrinj.3565]

I absolutely love the ruching in that dress! How do I achieve that? 😭

[@yahasabhai7241]

💋💋💓💓

[@denaeshiree]

How would I do this same concept without lace?

[@BridalSewing]

It would be much trickier, because you would have to match fabric & do an extremely neat job or add ruching or something. The most elaborate way would be to build up the stands as I illustrated and then put a new overlay over the bodice pieces. It could become a very big job if the bride won't tolerate new seams.

Are all bones the same size? If not, what size did you use?? I would like to practice.

They come in different sizes. I used 1/2 inch & I *only* use rigilene. It really matters! There's a link on the products page of my website. Www.bridalsewingtechniques.com

[@MegaDaprice]

Bridal Sewing Techniques Great. Thank you.

[@worthwatching4465]

Can you explain why you only use rigilene please? I'm curious why it might be different than another brand and why it's preferred. Thank you!

[@BridalSewing]

I personally prefer it because it is the strongest to me and is truly sew-through.

[@meeer9041]

What this fabric calls

[@shemar3572]

Good tip, but I’m surprised you to curve the boning as it usually has a natural curve.

[@BridalSewing]

It won't retain it unless supported to do so. It will bow out under pressure.
