I'm loving your channel. On the burgundy and velvet dress, do you have any videos on how you attached the elastic to the back?

[@irenennabbaale2959]

thank you so much, going to do mine also, thank you so much dear

[@MomthatSews]

I love this! What are you using inside the gown to support the bust of a fuller figured lady? Did you add cups?

[@porcelainbloom9788]

How did you add the elastic in the back?

[@brianasmith6375]

😍😍the gold you used on that dress is that the same exact gold in the link that you put below

[@74kdiva]

I’d love a detailed explanation of how you cut out the sleeves. I saw you using measurements but I’m not sure which & why. Please explain. Btw love your channel.

[@kdiosatv]

I love your work can your next video show how you take your client measurements

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

sure I already have 2 videos lined up but the following ill show how I take measurements

[@gwenabee4ever]

You are so talented, you can tell you really know what your doing. Where did you get your training? I'm wondering because I'm considering studying fashion design.

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

thank you, I'm self taught.

[@carolynmw24]

When making this dress, did you add an 5/8 seam allowance?

[@drizzydrizz3458]

You’re beyond talented! 😍🔥 I definitely want you to make my prom dress for next year! When should I begin contacting you? How many months in advance ?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Audrey's Quality hey thank you!! 😘 I’ll be opening orders for 2019 prom in November

[@drizzydrizz3458]

Designs by LIAM LI alright can’t wait! and would I have to send you ideas or would I be choosing from the ones you’ve made before?

[@itstalesia9347]

😍😍

[@AutisticBeauty]

Where did you get your scissors? Do you have a link? Your scissors seem to cut really straight. Mine leaves the edges rigid

[@AutisticBeauty]

How did you sew the elastic in the back?

[@jetafleming8928]

How did attach the bottom to the rest of the dress? Do you have a video already showing it?

[@delightful75]

I clicked this so fast!!! #FIRST

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

LOL! THANK YOU!!

[@jaylachryshell]

For the train in the back did you cut 4 inches around the corner for that too?

[@teeboz2008]

Hey I was wondering how do you put your zipper in. Or is the fabric really stretchy that it’s not needed?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

yes so this fabric is so stretchy it doesn't need a zipper

[@sewfashionable8398]

How much elastic do you use for the back?

[@gabriellewilliams5404]

Did you end up attaching elastic in the back? If so is there another video to reference where you show that technique?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

yes I did< I can put a swimsuit tutorial together with cut outs that use the same process.

[@snitchie1016]

I wish I was this good at making clothes.🤕

[@AutisticBeauty]

Does the dress slip on easy since it's stretch?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Jessica Jenkins yup like a glove!!

[@webfashionista]

Well job done ✅ very talented

[@nailsbydrea]

maaaaad

[@shaniasworld1204]

How many yards of fabric did you use and how tall is your client

[@AutisticBeauty]

Where did you get the stretch velvet fabric from?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Jessica Jenkins spandex world

[@teeboz2008]

Did you use regular velvet or crushed velvet. And how many yards did you purchased

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

I used regular velvet not crushed and 4 yards

[@teeboz2008]

Designs by LIAM LI thanks so much i love your channel.

[@tainarobinson4166]

How did you cut the back bodice?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

I folded it in half the long way and cut a half Circle so when I opened it, there was a full circle. Then sewed elastic in the hem.

[@faith-annstory7090]

I loved this technique you used except for one thing...you have to make your viewers aware that you have to cut velvet in the same direction so that the shine goes in the same direction so that you don't get a light and dark effect. Unless that's the look you are going for.

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Thank you I will keep that in mind If I do another velvet video this year!

[@tamikagarciagonzalez7583]

how many yards of fabric did you use

[@dxnma]

Pleaseeeeee. What was the first outfit you made that brought you clients

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Believe it or not the first dress I ever made was for Cynn Santana from love and hip hop lol and business went crazy right after!

[@dxnma]

Designs by LIAM LI wowww . Talent has brought u so far ❤️

[@TranquilSoulVibes]

Hi what is this songs name?

[@iahniah1872]

Hello, I have a few questions. Where do you get your material from and how much is it? I'm on a budget because my mom is making me a prom dress for the following year, but she's very cheap. So what kind of material can I get on a budget where it doesn't look cheap, it looks similar to the material you use. I want a spandex type dress with a embroidery lace top something along those effects. The color would be pink or pink and white. I'm 5'6, my waist is small but my breast are huge (42h)I wear size 15-16 in pants/jeans, and I think my waist is like 28-30 inches. So I want a tight fitting dress but I don't have a booty. What would you suggest? I really want to look good at my prom. I'm 16 years old. But what material would you suggest and how many yards eacH?

[@iahniah1872]

Thank you so much, and hope you get back to me soon!

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Hello definitely need a stretch fabric if you want it fitted and you can search on ebay or if you aren't far fro NY you could take a trip to the garment district for fabric

[@AutisticBeauty]

When is your next video going to be posted?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Jessica Jenkins I’m trying to get one out tonight

[@katelynwilson809]

do you still make prom dresses ???

[@Fashionceo]

How did she get into it without a zipper?

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

Fashion Ceo it’s spandex

[@snitchie1016]

I will pay someone to make this dress.

[@ariannaatchison6983]

Wow this is cute i can't wait for my prom,i hope you don't mind making me one.

[@DesignsbyLIAMLI]

[@notoriousnelly9850]

[@ishamcbride8355]
