Hey! Just wanted to say that I want to be a fashion designer, and drawing fashion figures/models always intimidated me. I am lucky to have found this video just in time for this design project for school in which I'm designing a dress. I could have never made a fashion figure in time, what with me having ZERO experience. This, and the video about drawing hangers, has been a LOT of help. Thank you so so much. BTW, I have a quick question. How can I draw a sweetheart neckline on this type of dress form? Love your videos! Thanks again! ❤❤❤

[@TheStyleaholic]

So glad the videos were helpful for you! It’s not exactly a tutorial, but in this video I drew some sweetheart necklines on dress forms: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGGZqHqVaJppqrc 💕

Really helpful video! Thank you for sharing ❤ I read on other comment that you have made the sketchbook yourself, I would like to know what kind of paper did you use, please? I mean, the weight of the paper, in grams? I work with watercolour too but the watercolour paper is too thick to make myself a sketchbook like that, and shop bought ones can sometimes bleed with the water. Thank you ❤

[@TheStyleaholic]

Glad this video was helpful for you! For my watercolor sketchbooks, I like to use papers that are around 200gsm to 270 gsm. If I'm not mistaken, the one in this video was made with 270 gsm paper. Hope this helps! 💗

[@TheStyleaholic]

Sometimes I draw dresses that already exist, like the one in this video (from Elie Saab). Other times, I’ll design something that I’ll make into an actual piece of clothing. Most of my sketches though sit around in my sketchbooks waiting for their turn to become a real garment. 😊💕
