How To Drape A Sweetheart Strapless Bodice

[@ericamanda01]

I've been sewing for about a year and I finally feel comfortable giving a bodice a try. I have had the hardest time understanding patterns and I find that I learn more details when I work in a free from way. This has to be the best tutorial on making a bodice I have found online. I wish you taught a class, I would pay to learn from you! Thank you so much.

[@francesa.millered.d.6792]

FABULOSITY! I have struggled with that darn sweetheart neckline for so many wedding dresses for clients! Thank you!!!

[@janicemgreene7880]

OMG. I think everyone will agree that you've shown the perfect and easiest way of making the bodice. Thank you so much

[@hannahb5067]

Wow this is the best made and explained tutorial I have ever seen :0

[@alisonredmiles9025]

One of the most useful videos I've watched on youtube. Thank you so much!

[@amu6711]

Thank you, this really helped me out a lot! I’m working on making a costume that has a pretty interesting neck line close to a strapless sweetheart shape so your video helped me to figure out how I’m going to achieve the proper shape. You made everything really easy to understand!

[@maryalderete8051]

Thank you very much for posting this video. I am such a fledgling sewer. I need to learn how to drape. You made the instruction so clear. Your voice is very friendly and calm and that helped me to pay attention. Your steps were clear. Now I think I can try again on my own and I think I'll be successful this time. :)

[@amandaturton7017]

i have just ordered a dressmakers mannequin and cannot wait to use it after watching your video. Thank you for explaining how to make a pattern for it. I will be looking on your fb page for more ideas.

[@sherolbaines1583]

Brilliant tutorial..I have just tried it and it works..It lays flat as I need it to and it fits! Thanks so much!

[@Alisen12]

Thanks so much for this! This gave me so much more insight into patter making. I always wondered why the patterns have such weird shapes but now I know! I need to get me a mannequin...

[@sarasweet5561]

I'm self taught and learning how to drape and this video helped me so much. Thank you ❤️

[@deleshacharleston1227]

Seriously this was the most understandable. I was getting confused with draping and drawing a bodice. Thanks so much for your content

[@Reagan-is-Perfect]

I just came across your channel yesterday and I am hooked, you are the Bomb. You broke this down to make something I thought was so complex seems easy.....Thank you I feel empowered...lol

[@sewfashionable8398]

i've never draped before. I followed this video step by step and i did it! thank you thank you thank you soo much!

[@KorinMetz]

Thank you for this! I have a pattern that already has princess seams but the neckline is a high scoop. Hoping to modify it in to a sweetheart with straps

[@TheLway123]

Can you do more videos on how to use a dress form? I have an adjustable one and when I try to use it from my measurements I find it harder vs outlining something old and use that for a pattern

[@aitakahashi269]

thank you so much for this video! your techniques are so easy to follow! its not as complicated as the other videos that ive seen here. Please do more videos!!

[@sherryrollins5955]

This was the best tutorial I have seen.....you explained everything so well. Thank you so much

[@Serene271]

This was great to watch. Thank you so much for making these videos. They are so easy to follow along and great videos for beginners.

[@XOSabinaXO]

Love this! Can't wait to see the next video! It's very helpful...I think Im gonna have the courage and try it! I adore this type of tops...very chic and feminine!great job!😘

[@gladtidings4all]

I just saw this great video tutorial! Love the way you show how to drape and design and show how to make a pattern! Then show how to sew it as well on your next video. If only I had my own body size mannequin. I would like to see how you design and make a pattern on sleeves design and skirts as well thanks! ✂️

[@minniet3]

I love how you explained this tutorial. I understood everything, which is great to me lol. I am wondering if you can make a video of this same thing but longer and if the person doesn't have a mannequin, because I don't have one. Help please & thank you.

[@ritaabara]

I'm gonna sound really amateur...but is that to say for every pattern I would wanna make for say people of different sizes, I would have to get a mannequin their size? Or is there a way to adjust that one pattern to suit all sizes?

[@jp-legal]

It is called grading.

[@stephaniebrown4896]

Hello!! Thanks for this! Did you make a video for how to make a top with these pieces? I'm interested in how to make the bra cups and if boning is required.

[@angelicahedberg5828]

oh my god this seems so smart! genius! i’m really a beginner at sewing and i have 0 patience so i hate sewing😂but this is sooo smart and now i can try to make my own patterns, thank you for this video!

[@22shacha]

I would love it if you would show how to make a top or bustier from this! Great video, it helps a lot.

[@tabitha9723]

Could you do a tutorial on how to do an illusion neckline/tips for working with sheer fabric?

[@jassura6808]

Thank you for making these videos, they are the best on draping, you explain everything so well x

[@sharondamajor7946]

I learned this type of method a few months back, and I am SO GRATEFUL for it. However I wanted to ask: would this same method work if you were designing a jacket?

[@DanielaTabois]

+Sharonda Miles Yes. When you have a professional dress form, it allows you the freedom to design anything you want.

[@sharondamajor7946]

+Daniela Tabois Thanks, and I LOVE your videos

[@cherylsimmons784]

Hi, Super Beauty Teacher ! Girl thank you for sharing. This is one of the best tutorials on draping I've seen. Thank you 😉 love it

[@buffymuffintopz8994]

[@aikkuhoo6983]

I too, like to use fabric when make patterns. Love your tutoring. ♥

[@lindaguerraxoxo]

THANK YOU!!!!! Great video. I loved your pacing and explanation. Nothing extra, just what I needed.

[@vr5angel]

One of the best explanations I've found so far, love this video! This is going to help me so much!

[@zariahAwashere]

Do you have any advise for adding illusion to this? I imagine you'd just draw in where you'd add it in on the muslin and sew whatever sheer fabric like a panel?

[@jenniferbarnes3136]

hi Daniela, this video is amazing, explained it very well. I'd like to see how you transferred it onto paper, please? I can't find a follow up video to this one.

[@DanielaTabois]

+Jennifer Barnes kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3S7pJd6oKt4ntE&lc=z121irvjyu2yt111q23qffk4mwvhevcgd04 is were I show you how to transfer it.

[@phatbucks1850]

Oh my god.. this is the most easiest explanation ever..thank you

[@AngelaLaMuse]

Yes please! More! Wonderful tutorial, thank you. What pen are you using?

[@svanshuku]

is it possible to do drape without a dressform? i mean dressforms are really expensive and also i can't find any with my proportions because i don't find in any regular sizes (i'm too small and mostly too thinn for them)

[@iwintress]

hi please make a tutorial on how to make it on paper... i mean to transfer on paper... please...

[@iwintress]

,by the way i like how you made the tutorial... please make a video of making it on paper... thanks...

[@Triniswe]

Just drape the garment and then place it flat on a table and put a piece of tracing paper on top of it and draw. Or maybe you're looking for patternmaking on paper?

[@makaylabarnes8617]

Hey! Do you have a video on how to add boning into a sweet heart neckline ?

[@oliviaherman3262]

Thank you!! So lovely!! You really explained it so nicely. Best draping video ive seen!!

[@yanmartinez9811]

[@voluptuouscosplay2452]

So beautifull! I wish I had a manequin that fit me! Mine is a plus size but still wont go as big as me sadly. I need to eventually just do a duct tape dummy. Im wondering if I can drape on my self somehow. Would be hard without help.

[@truediva5017]

[@portablelurv4j]

Thanks so much for your vedios am learning a lot from your vedios. Can you please make one on how I can make it to my own size/ customize it. Also how to make a dress out of this. Thanks, you are a very good teacher.

[@SewPaMc]

[@josettecompton7448]

Hi, Daniela. I absolutely lo e your channel. I am new at sewing and I’ve tried making a sweetheart bodice and my busts are too large. I am full-figured (size 16). My question is whether or not I need to buy breast cups in order to make a sweetheart bodice that does not fall. If you have time, would you be able to show a video for plus-sized bodices?

[@hansae7452]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! what if we don't have a manniquin tho? is there another easy way to make this

[@olufunkelawani2748]

You make it so easy to understand.. thank you so much

[@courtneyfurman7453]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL! I am so excited use it.

[@himanigrover6472]

Can I make a bodice for ball gown with cotton fabric 🤔will the bonning be stable on it cause in India weather where temperature gets higher till 50 degree n more we cannot wear these kind of fabrics comfortably 😐

[@kittyliu4900]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial is amazing I have a question can the human body be draped on? 🙏

[@reenabisht5504]

Hi dear..u r my inspiration..!! I tried to make this till pattern paper tracing it was fine but when I trace it from pattern paper to actual garment fitting doesn't come accurate.. can u tell me why if u have time?

[@DanielaTabois]

different fabrics reacts differently to a pattern and require you to re-drape for that fabric. You need to use the same kind of fabric as the draping fabric to get a better fit. If not, you will need to make adjustments on your pattern for a specific fabric to fit.

[@Triniswe]

+Daniela Tabois Thnak you for a really good tutorial! I just have one question. How do you know where to place the front-side pattern (not the one that is aligned with center-front) on the fabric so it is aligned with the fabric threads?

[@hopedavis7270]

How much different would it be to do this for someone who was larger chested?

[@Redhactv]

I know its 5 years old but you make it look so easy and I am excited to try ! Thank you!!

[@Nthabimelody]

Thank you maam ,you've just saved my job

[@jingning309]

what kind of pencil/ drawing utility are you using to draw on the fabric?

[@OuO_Hello]

[@msjen024]

is that a custom made dress form? i dnt have a dressform shape- and find it difficult to get a ‘form fitting’ fit...if that makes sense..im still learning, any suggestions?

[@eldenbasillote7077]

how do we make a mermaid tail gown like very long at the back?... thanks dear. :)

[@msatkinson07]

I love this cant wait for pt 2

[@BunniPone]

I'm still a little new to sewing so up to now I've been sewing with stretch fabrics. I'm not sure how doing this draping on my dress form would work for me because my mannequin is set to my measurements, but i have a smaller frame and larger bust and butt than my mannequin shows (I hope I'm explaining this clearly). I don't look like my mannequin, so would draping work for me? would things still fit correctly with non-stretch fabrics?

[@christinegallo4983]

IDKayla you could look up videos on how to pad your mannequin to better reflect your shape, I’m sure there are some. That way you can make the mannequin fit your frame, and pad out the bust and butt

[@cupcakesprinkles94]

Thank Yooooooouuuu!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 First video of yours to watch and I LOVE it!👌🏼

[@happyjuliexo5593]
