I Made a Gown for Summer! Bustier Bodice Princess Dress DIY

I believe I bought this fabric back in March on a trip to California, and I've been waiting for the perfect time to use it. Being in between projects, I decided to make something with it this past week!

I’d love to see Giselle’s blue curtain dress from Enchanted, you’d be one of the few who could do it justice✨💓

[@purplegirl1083]

Yes that would be so amazing, please do it 💜

[@dannielladlm6815]

That was one of my favourite dresses in movie history. So simple but so elegant. It also shows Giselle’s character and her creativity. It was absolutely beautiful ❤

[@lizakirillova591]

yes please

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

As someone that has sewn for 40 years I think you did a great job 😊

[@Isshhaae]

Mamm pleasw teach me. Please 🛐

[@vestibuohl4135]

I know it's a newer one, but i would LOVE to see you tackle the Barbie Princess Charm School dresses, with the gem stone- inspired bodice!!

[@_alexandra.louise_]

I actually bought gems for it about 6 months ago but never got around to making it! Maybe I’ll do that one soon

[@andykarlson1681]

Yes please!😍 i would love to see that

[@hannahmandryk8645]

Just finished making my first dress. It turned out great and even though mine was much simpler, watching these videos helped.

[@Isshhaae]

Please tell me ur experience. I wanna know. Where did u learned making dress. Did u learned fashion designing. Kindly reply and help me please

[@cheesycheddar555]

I am in LOVE with the design, amazing as always ❤

[@avaloncarlisle1514]

This is literally my new favorite dress in the whole wide world!!!!!!! I love everything about it and i loved watching you create it. It is my absolute goal to make this exact dress in the exact fabric! Thank you for this video!!!

[@BlubBlubFish_67]

The live action little mermaid dress would be AMAZING 😭😍

[@238Tina1]

Absolutely stunning. I knew it would turn out beautifully ❤

[@dorijean6614]

Wow, your dress is darling. I have been sewing off an on since I have been 17, and I'm 65. I have learned so much from KZbin. It amazes me that you have been sewing for such a short time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. ❤

[@AlyssaSophiaOfficial]

I’m so glad you used the tape method!! I had never seen that done before, but it’s going to make it totally easy for me to use my adjustable dress form (that I can’t stick pins in to drape fabric) to design dresses! I’ve been wanting to make one similar to this but in midnight blue with little silver stars 😁

[@kelisha_]

That fabric is absolutely stunning!!! 😭😭😭💗💗💗

[@hatarismom]

This dress is amazing. The material is such a rich brocade and you, my dear, are so talented. It is a delight to see you work.

[@occasionaltherapistfriend]

That looks so beautiful!❤️

[@mellieg.7543]

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for the summer.

[@Pearl_intheSea]

That’s what I was gonna say😭

[@TheShadowLight13]

That dress is absolutely gorgeous

[@andyjamescreative]

I use the tape method for making patterns too but if you wrap cling wrap to the dress form beforehand you can cut it off without risking breaking the tape, and it doesn’t have a sticky back anymore! :)

[@brentage5000]

That's so pretty! Fantastic work, as always!

[@haylievandenberghe354]

This is gorgeous!! You did an amazing job!

[@katierachel3305]

This is so beautiful! As an aspiring sewer I love to watch these videos- they are the perfect length! Also, your freckles are beautiful!

[@Saffron777]

Your dress is amazing🌸🌺! I adore it so much that I'd wear it nonstop 😍 The 3D flowers are a lovely , and now I'm feeling inspired to create my own dress too💝🌺

[@Cheryl-Miller]

you can also use paper bags like Aldi bags or news paper taped on to the dress form for patterns as well. Just a time saver tip. It works really well for making patterns off of cloths you already have as well.

[@user-np5vy4ds5o]

Again you hit it out of the park No words to describe your talent. You Are a designer. I wish I had someone like you back in the 70's when I was taking fashion illustration. I really wanted to have a career in fashion. Again, my dear. Beautiful work. Gorgeous dress. Bravisima!!😊❤

[@SheerStitchery]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the watercolour look with the organza ❤

[@chelseymakes]

holy shit this is gorgeous 🤯 the circle skirt with the ruffled tier, the lacing on the center back, the applique flowers, everything is perfect!

[@MrVWJOEL]

amazing creation, it looks BEAUTIFUL on you

[@bebegom7872]

Woww it turned out so pretty, I love it 🥰

[@kittymogulco]

Your work is exquisite, I can't get enough of your videos 😍💖 thanks so much for creating such inspiring content

[@aalishas8438]

It would be great if you could share your fashion journey like how you started, which school you went to, your sewing collection/models, etc. your work is amazing!! ☺️

[@melisamusoni]

I looooooooove this dress! The length is perfect. I wish I knew how to sew my own clothes. Could you please make a video explaining how to do patterns without a mannequin or how to alter patterns for them to fit? ‘Cause that is my biggest fear when it comes to making a piece of clothing from the begging. Thank you ❤

[@freegirl3786]

Honestly, the best way to learn is to do it. Get some yards of cheap fabric, a simple pattern and just go at it. Sewing is always learnt easier by doing rather than watching 💕

[@sewakader1699]

Im new here and i love how you explain the details, its so hard to learn anything from anyone now days, so thank you for making it easy ❤

[@shervonri]

Ughh you did such an amazing job! I loveeee it ! Every detail !

[@pavlal.4552]

The dress is stunning 👍 great job.

[@xCielorosax]

It looks super pretty!

[@ARMYBABYgirl7]

Wow what beautiful such a talented person you are

[@cmstars9786]

I sewed new soles into my boots! The job was poor, but it's doing what I want and I'm happy with it. You inspired me to try sewing, so thank you!!

[@cb9825]

so beautiful! you can cut out some simple flower shapes from the organza itself, they will look more cohesive with the dress because the colours will match perfectly.

[@lalita2324]

I'm in love with this dress it looks so freaking good on u 😍😍😍😍😍

[@shondig]

it's giving teuota matoshi goodness and i'm so here for it

[@jbauntie]

That’s so pretty. I could never do that. Though my mom is a seamstress and used to make clothes,amongst other things. She used to pay me to feed elastic through anything that had it and to iron her pieces….both jobs she hated.I got good at ironing & elastic feeding but never mastered sewing. I can hem and make pillow covers. I could never make clothes and certainly nothing as gorgeous as the dresses you make.Though my tshirt came out pretty good in homeed in school….way back in the early 90s when they still taught sewing & cooking in school.You are so talented and the fabric you choose is stunning. Hope you find inspiration to do more. You’re one of my favourite content creators to follow.Looking forward to your next project. Hope you find an occasion to wear this dress. It’s too pretty not to be worn.

[@chi440]

I could never make that keep up the good work you’re so talented

[@annaj6588]

❤ Such a beautiful dress that you made ❤ It's stunningly beautiful ❤🥰

[@272Iman]

That is so pretty!!

[@Itsbellakatherine]

The new Little Mermaid dress would be so pretty!! Also the navy blue dress princess Merida wears in the movie Brave would be pretty also!! Love your vids!! 💖

[@soffukuro]

[@TheRose5357]

I just found you love your honesty and your dress is beautiful 🤩

[@plumfrogvic]

[@andreap9319]

THIS IS MY DREAM DRESSS AAAAHHH

[@Klu-9]

Just beautiful 😻

[@kimichan5]

Lovely!!! ❤

[@mjcutter77]

The marker dress is so Harper and I love it

[@prinkidoodles]

You did amazing with this one! Keep up the good work

[@tmwatts1088]

Just a tip, next time use blue painters tape. It removes easier and doesn't leave any tape residue on the dress form. I struggle with draping, so I had to find someting that's easy to use and get off the dress form cleanly.

[@loribledsoe2795]

pretty. perfect fit!

[@Kelly-th4dn]

Gorgeous! I would love to see some more wearable fashion like this -perhaps a wedding guest dress since it is coming up on wedding season?

[@Ariana-hb8vl]

Your content is underrated, hopefully one day you get recognition

I love it ❤❤❤❤❤

[@natalianavarro5021]

Dios mío 😮q preciosidadddddddd eres una artistaaaaaaa❤❤❤

[@violalalinor9934]

You could do liesl's dress from the sound of music, the pink one that she's dancing in! It's beautiful :)

[@ashlynalingh]

As a fellow sewer I have a unique challenge, my challenge isn’t to make one piece but rather an aesthetic outfit. The one I would pick for you as a challenge would be adventurecore since it’s different from what you normally make. If you decide to go with it I would love to see what you make!

[@florajones2302]

so cutee

[@hailey5643]

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! What kind of boning do u use?? The lastic boning I get off of Amazon is kinda painful to wear

[@cosmiclatte9416]

Yes, please make Ariel’s live action dress! It’s so pretty!

[@fardesign]

loved it :)

[@ellegarrels2317]

yess pls make both of ariel’s live action dresses i would love to see u make those!!!

[@motherhemcreation]

I used to be 425 lbs when I got my plus size dress form so it didn't fit me. Lost 187 lbs so it probably fits now but a tip if you have help for someone with no dress form. You can saran wrap yourself and with a friend and then do this tape technique right on your body just Try not to saran wrap yourself too tight. Cosplayers use this technique for armor. I really should pull that mannequin out and measure it again lol.

[@briannakyse5167]

STUNNING as usual. Also, I would love to see you make a dress from Little Mermaid! I'm currently making the blue skirt/black top outfit from the cartoon as I binge watch your vids lol

[@chihuahuagirl128]

I'd love to see you make Wednesday's Rave'n dress from the show. OOH and maybe one of the dresses from Barbie Princess Charm School, that would be very pretty :D

[@isabellalautentica9382]

Vestito bellissimo

[@TheShadowLight13]

My request is an unusual one. Please make your own version of Scarlett O'Hara's green and white gown from gone with the wind. Or the opening white with a red belt one. Those dresses are absolutely beautiful and would look fabulous on you.

[@_alexandra.louise_]

I actually did make her white and green dress a few years ago! I never got around to getting many photos or videos of it, but just a few days ago I posted a KZbin short and it’s at the end of that video😄 I’d love to make the dress with the red belt eventually though.

[@TheShadowLight13]

@@_alexandra.louise_ thank you for responding to me and for telling me which video to find the green and white dress. I adore your channel. You are so talented
