How to make a Merida Dress (Time Lapse)

[@haircafekevin]

What a wee bonnie lass.

[@rose_brier]

I LOVE THIS! Please please make more videos! I'd love to see more of your works!

[@katiemunoz9164]

I am so jealous of your sewing skills!

[@shugartihits3905]

This is amazing 8yr old me would claim you as a total and complete GOD!

[@designdoctor247]

Amazing 👏 five 🌟⭐ 🌟⭐ 🌟!!!!

[@isabubble1424]

you made a beautiful dress! It's a shame you didn't make other projects, I think you're really good at ou it! 😘😘

[@charlesleroy5259]

It may have been easier to make a separate poet shirt to go underneath, and just sew the straps at the Elbows and Shoulders. And the ruffle on the sleeve could have been faux. Also a hand hem, although historically accurate isn't necessary if it causes so much trouble. I've whipstiched entire ballgowns for productions. Although it looks good, it is a time factor you have to consider. But logistics aside, your Merida costume is lovely. Great problem solving and patterning abilities. 😊

Thanks a lot for your comment! I learned a lot by making this dress and looking back I would have done some things differently indeed. Something like a chemise might have been more accurate and less tedious to make. Although the other method did save me some fabric and gave me a little bit more control over how the "poofs" looked like in the end. I actually kinda like hand sewing hems and for this project it looked really good so I am really happy I did it. But it takes sooo long indeed! hahahha.

Damn...

[@Tina06019]

@@dotorocosplay While it is true that the white on the sleeves would historically have been part of her shift, I found myself thinking that your clever method would indeed make it easier to get the extra “pouffiness” just where you want it, every time you wear the dress. Very nice!

[@SCANLON_ARTISTRY]

What a beautiful dress! Thank you for sharing the video!

[@streetheart6579]

You snapped on this whole look immaculate stitching too 🌻

I would love to make a Merida dress it’s second top in my list, but all my dresses have taken me ages because I hand sew them completely 😂😭

[@Skylar1313]

What is your first on your list? also I wanna learn how to sew

[@laurenca.16]

same for all my sewing projects! the machine is constantly breaking on me!!

[@alicemarion2127]

Hi, I love this video you are a perfect Merida. Did you style the wig yourself ?xx

[@dotorocosplay]

Thank you!! No I actually bought a wonderful wig from wickedwigs! I only shook out the curls a bit and pinned some hair out of my face and it was ready to go (:

[@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840]

@@dotorocosplay i need that pattern

[@ElizabethSchubert-dp2vd]

Hello, can you tell me how difficult it is to sew a dress like this yourself? I have just found this video and was immediately impressed. Unfortunately I don't know how to sew. Is this something for beginners? Can you manage it? Is there a "tutorial" for such a great dress?😅😌🙏

[@MioYuki]

Omg I love this! ✨💕

[@NekosVerdantFlame-ze8ou]

it's a beautiful dress, and I want to make it for Halloween, but the link in the description isn't working. plz do something! I want to make the dress so bad, especially as an amateur seeing how well it turned out for you.😢

[@dot5944]

This is so cool!

[@deerwalker1681]

That looks so cool!!!

[@Floral_Lion]

Do you by chance remember what the fabric is? I am planning on creating a dress and am having a hard time making a decision of fabric choice.

[@miwhitty8316]

Freaking incredible!!!!

[@patriciafdezlabrador4929]

A-MA-ZING!!!!!!

Tu vestido me ha encantado. Confeccionas para la venta, yo estaria muy interesada. Saludos desde Barcelona

[@deliciousful]

You look fantastic!

[@AliceMakesStuffGoBoom]

Loved this!! ❤️

[@josefonas]

awesome your work congratulations

[@michaelawatters8748]

I want to do this for Halloween. Can you walk me through how you did it?

[@karensimonpeterson3574]

How did you fit the bodice? Darts? I didn’t see you sew any. Cute costume.

[@Hamoniony]

No darts, maybe she used a stretchy fabric?

[@iriskoopmann9052]

Which measurements did you use?🤔😱😳

[@Lara-hb1yn]

when knowing that the white bits are actually a shift/ chemise underneath, does anyone else mentally scream "it's not supposed to be done that way/ that's why its so difficult" like yes I know it's been modernized but it just makes it feel too costumey to me when I see this. That said I do this that this is a wonderfully done dress and is very beautiful. I 'm going to be making something very similar in the future. and OMG a zipper! it feels like cheating but it's awesome

[@sydneypitts355]

Did you use a pattern from Simplicity?

[@sandraberenicevillalpandoq7931]

se ve bien

[@pam5134]

I love it

[@abby520]

i was thinking it might be easier to make regular sleeves and then sew the poofy parts just over them

[@louweez1805]

Hello do you still have the pattern for this? The link you shared doesn’t work anymore

[@arcanjosan2]

How many fabric did you use? I don't understand this...

[@smashlike5786]

Your red wig is looking so beautiful and furry on you.I would like to cuddle up to you in your wig.It would be cool!

[@alexgildea444]

How many wards of the wool did you get?

[@pinkpoodlepaloma]

Its absolutely gorgeous as are you. What a beautiful figure and hair. Do you get to wear it?

[@malihamoly4943]

Can you tell me the fabric's name please

[@auroradreamer6581]

Hey we're the same height!

[@umma_himmah]

I love the dress so much.. But the tutorial is to fast. I wish you could upload another one with the detail explanation in the video.

[@dotorocosplay]

Thanks! Yes I understand. I really had difficulties with filming everything because I only had a crappy camera with a short battery life and no camera stand :'). But the links in the description actually cover almost everything I do in the video, so I hope that still helps you a little... And if you have any questions you can always ask them!

[@umma_himmah]

@@dotorocosplay Nice. By the way, what kind of fabric did you use to make this dress?

[@dotorocosplay]

I used wool! Its heavy but easy to sew with and nice and warm.

[@HakunaMatata-gf2ub]

you can watch it on a very slow speed mode like I did :D
