HOW TO MAKE A CIRCULAR CONE PANELED DRESS SKIRT (Prom, Wedding, ...

[@patriciajencks9940]

Very nice tutorial! Thank you for doing these. You are an excellent teacher for me! I have a lifetime of sewing, learning at my grandmother's knee, as a child almost 60 years ago making doll clothes for my babies who had no clothes! Pattern making, seams, curves, ironing the hems!Continued learning with my Mother. Together, we made my prom dress. Both are gone now, and I continue to learn and seek out new teachers. I love your nature, your attitudes, (get it done, CORRECTLY! so it looks great, and use unique tools to help you BAND ROLL!!) Please continue teaching us!!!🥰🎉

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for your comment 😊 You are so kind 💕

[@Josieb4008]

You can attend the best fashion design schools, but what they don't teach you is the tailoring techniques that are essential. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into each of your tutorials. Take care and please, stay well. Cheers!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 I agree with you. Although I can understand that there's so much to learn about fashion and so little time. Cheers 🙂

[@firechick561]

You are amazing!! I made ballet costumes (youth ballet) w/ a circuliar skirt but they were solid color (no matching pattern) & I did a simpler version...but never figured out how I could fit them better. It is a wonderful to see a true tailor work & learn from her! Thank you!!😊

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much 💓 I love to work with circular skirts!

[@juliachapelle1787]

Wow! That looks amazing! 😊 Would love to see more of the pattern making process.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks. I’ll be more detailed on another video. Cheers!

[@cheryldebois1]

You are one of my favorite KZbin content creators! I’ve been sewing for over 45 years, everything from alterations to making bridal gowns and I still learn something new with every one of your videos. You are so funny, your sense of humor was what made me subscribe! “So let’s go!”

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for your kind comment 😊

[@littlecravings]

I’m a very amateur, but enthusiastic, sewer and your videos answer loads of my questions. When I need an answer, I look in your library! Please continue the good work!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much 💓

[@patriciagreen3345]

Thank you! I would love to see a petticoat tutorial!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰

[@irmagutierrez4654]

Precioso, la felicito por su bonita letra y sus números

[@DowntownTailoring]

Muchas gracias 💞 yo estaba escribiendo muy rápido y no pensé en cómo se iban a ver. Así que me hace sentir doblemente bien este comentario!

[@sampleworks9432]

Beautifully done!! Love that you got a small model so you can show us…feeling special ❤️ enjoy your teaching as always 🙏

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 Yes! I got this mannequin to show you better a lot of things!

[@chilipeprsandi]

This is an awesome video with a lot of detail! I only sew a little, but I would like to see a mid length skirt with some flare, remember I have a boxy shape. ☺️Thank you love all your videos.💕💃🏻

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! I could do that. I have in mind one that is very easy!

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

I'd love to see this too! A flared skirt is much more flattering on me than a pencil skirt, I have an hourglass figure, but large hips...flared skirts makes waist look tiny!

[@TheLballou]

Maths usually make my head hurt, but you described the process beautifully. I have been wondering how these skirts are made, and now I know. Just amazing! You are a true artist and talented craftsman!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much. I'm always afraid to mention the "M" word. It makes all of us uncomfortable. Cheers 🙂

[@joycecaldwell2097]

My daughter and I are always making costumes for her and friends. They go to comic cons and steampunk shows. This dress style would be a show stopper! And I think you made this look easy enough for me to make it! Thanks for all your hard work!

[@DowntownTailoring]

That is awesome! Thanks for commenting! 😊

[@YveWin]

I don’t know how to sew yet, but a project as PRETTY as this is going on the list to make. 👍

[@DowntownTailoring]

This is so nice! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@Samantha-sy7ww]

Do I feel an Izzy? As in Isadora? Sumptuous yet playful. Young at heart but the pattern be cut from cloth of all eras 💚💚💚💚💚 I would Love to take a class taught by you. SO FUN!!! I love this pattern and yes I love the higher end for myself i feel so accomplished crafting something beautiful like this. THANK YOU 💋

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! 🥰

[@leiflynnjeffery757]

I love it. Looks like a flower petal. You are correct about the way you did the pattern matching looks very impressive. You are so entertaining and knowledgeable. Love your ideas and ways for altering. Keep up the good work.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for your kind words 😊

[@Kaavotibinada]

Omg now I want to make myself a gown like this 😍

[@mikylahcryer7363]

My favorite thing to design is dresses, and I LOVED this tutorial! I love your focus on the technical and getting things right😋 also would enjoy seeing a petticoat tutorial!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

This is absolutely beautiful! I love love love it! I would definitely love to see both the horsehair (is it really made out of horsehair?) and the crinoline for sure!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰 The horsehair I used is made out of polyester 😁 But certainly in the past real horsehair was used. Cheers 🙂

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

@@DowntownTailoring that's interesting. I love learning about how they used to make things, too!

[@trixiebelden8197]

This was amazing. There are so many details to consider as the dress builds from a design to the finished garment. Thank you for explaining every step so well, as always 💐

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks for watching and your nice gesture of comment 🥰

[@barbaraokin6507]

I make a lot of hoop skirts and I loved watching how you made this skirt

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you very much!!!

[@LB-hr3ce]

What a talent you have. That is absolutely gorgeous!💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

So beautifully done! I would love to see how you make a crinoline underskirt. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you 🥰

[@louparsons]

I will never sew a dress but I'm thrilled to see math being used in a practical application; in a former life (machinist) half of my job involved mathematics. As always, thank you very much for your time, effort and enthusiasm. YVR

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 I love math and I use it for everything but I'm always afraid to share this part of me. 🙃

[@louparsons]

@@DowntownTailoring My math was terrible, times table meant nothing (well, not much) until I wanted to 'do things' like make complex parts, calculate how high a model rocket went, that sort of thing. I think that for many people just 'doing math' with no context is difficult. I am very sympathetic to people with math anxiety, very sympathetic. This was a wonderful demonstration, thank you again. YVR

[@BlessingOjo-y5e]

What a comprehensive teaching...

[@DowntownTailoring]

Glad you think so! Thanks 😊

[@eileendoyle8606]

You should name her Mini! I love that fabric and the tutorial as well

[@RandomalinaLF]

It is so fascinating to watch you do this process. Beautiful process! 🥰🥰

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you very much!

[@mariajosefinarodriguez2991]

"Let me introduce you to my new mannequin: Mónica". Mónica, the mannequin has a nice ring to it, hasn't it? Great video, i'm fascinated with the downturned waist to add flare trick. Thank you!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Monica, the mannequin. This is genius!

[@licetm1814]

Love the idea, but how about in French: Monique ?

[@karensmith1675]

Love your videos. Explained so well and quick. Thank you.

What a fabulous video! I do love your channel. I've learned so much.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 You are so kind 💕

[@Writer10389]

gorgeous dress!! love that half-size mannequin.

[@laurabeatrizlanglegarcia9225]

Hi!!!! You can't imagine how much I like your videos, and if I have to choose between adding a horsehair to a dress and how to make a petticoat, I do prefer to learn about the dress. I think that it will be most useful since using a petticoat is almost for specials ocassions rather than a dress. I imagine that a stylish but simple dress with a horsehair hem, could became into something really special!! but, why should I choose? Do both please!!!! 😀 And thank you soooo much again for all your videos!

[@DowntownTailoring]

He he... By the way. I did record all the hirshair details. So, I'll post it too. Cheers 🙂

[@gailphillips2032]

Wonderful lesson, beautiful skirt. Thanks for the laughs too. 👍😀

[@karih6904]

It looks absolutely fantastic! I would name the mannequin Beatrice, since the dress she wears reminds me of something Princess Beatrice would wear! Beautiful!

[@DowntownTailoring]

It sounds good! I definitely can see her wearing it! 🥰

[@manuellebron3404]

Thanks so much! Very nice pattern explanation.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you very much. I’m so glad you liked it!

[@wandaparker6183]

Excellent idea to formulate the cuts😊

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you 🥰 I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@michellecornum5856]

Thank you! I have been looking for a pattern for this kind of skirt, and just couldn't find it. I kept ending up with circle skirts, but not this cone shape. YAY!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

I'm glad to be of help 💞💞💕

[@carolyndymond5521]

You are a very good teacher, love the dress it's a shame I don't go anywhere to make and wear one.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yep! I get it. In my case, it's a good thing I have YT videos to make 😁

[@mariajohnson2704]

[@evelynferrer1322]

Wow so beautiful. Please keep doing more videos like this but with more simple math methods 😂😳😘. Thank you. I love the dress.

Hahaha noted! Thank you so much 😊😊

[@sandrajohn5415]

Thanks for sharing

[@shawnakelley3376]

this turned out beautifully I bought a half scale mannequin to try it but what confused me was you were using full scale measurements. How does that work?

[@zulis48]

Wow!!! Awesome upgrade in the contents.. really appreciate it! Also would love if you can share how to make the under skirt petticoat ❤️❤️❤️

[@DowntownTailoring]

I'm so glad you think so. It inspires me to work harder ☺

[@hijikuujohnson646]

Hi thank you so much for your videos! I find it so so sooo useful to learn your techniques. Can you make video on how to make skirt that I can wear whether I gain little weight or lose little weight? I can only think of wrap skirt but there must be some ways to make it well. (Maybe wrap top too..) I like elegant style not revealing, Midi length skirt and maybe longer width so that when the wind blows, it doesn’t show underwear and leg 😅

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 This is a great idea that I should consider. Cheers!

[@grammielovestosew7797]

Would love to see the crinoline underskirt too please

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yesss 🥰

[@majusavel]

Its beautiful, I love it. By any chance do u have a video tutorial of refurbished baby blanket from old to new? I will be a 1st time grandma on June & I want to pass on my oldest son's his old blanket 😊.

That's so beautiful! Would you send me some pictures to my email so I can take a look and come up with good ideas?

[@raraavis7782]

Wow, that's beautiful. Love, how the pattern matched up, in the end. And good instructions, as always! And since your dress form is a 'halfling', why not call her Rosie? After the hobbit girl 'Rosie Cotton', Samwise Gamgee's love interessiert in Lord of the Rings (Nerd alarm, lol). It's a cute name, in any case 😉

[@DowntownTailoring]

Rosie is a good name. Someone else suggested Rose 🌹

I have 5 great grand daughters I am sewing for and their dolls. My size Barbies and 18 inch dolls. I would love to see how the underskirt is done and how is the cone shape kept..Please show u how to do the underskirt too. How is the cone shaping held :boning in cones and /or underskirt also?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Ho Grammie! You can watch our last video where we explain how to sew the horsehair. I show there a little bit of how the cones hold. But I do will make the underskirt video too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6SkoH15jLGAaqs Cheers 😊

[@wendynp7029]

I like the way you hang up an iron pls show me how to do it. Thank you so much

[@grammielovestosew7797]

So if I understand clearly the cones will develop because of the horsehair braid and the sections each being longer in center?? Will the underskirt be done in the same manner? I would like to try on the girl's my Size Barbie first!!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! You understood correctly. Adding a few feather bones to the under skirt will help a lot. Sew them to each piece individually before joining them to make the underskirt. Cheers 🙂

[@tambriggs]

Very interesting gore skirt technique! Would love to see the patterning for the petticoat (it was in 3 tiers, I believe?). Conider yourself SPAMMED :D

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰 It's not exactly in tiers but horizontal boning that looks like it. Cheers!

What do you think of the name Isabella for your mannequin?

A name for your Manikin. As it looks very Regal how about calling her Margaret Rose. The name of the Queens sister.

Uuuu! Thanks. It sounds so regal!

Another idea for the manikin is Aidita.
