I love your parents. They support your art so much they are fully willing to light you on fire. 😂😂😂

[@therussianprincess7036]

If I’m being honest, this does prove that if you made the outer wedding dress part out of flash paper and the inner mockingjay dress out of something flame resistant, it could work. But it would be really tricky to make it safe and very much one-use.

[@brigittamoretti5751]

Technically yes, but it's tissue paper and it's extremely fragile so it would be impossible to sew with, also with the amount of ruffles and volume of the wedding dress there would be no way to make it actually safe for her

[@c0nc1d3r3]

i've seen flash fabric before, i think it could work.

[@L0v3_Y0urs3lf]

That’s exactly what I commented about!! I was thinking that since the beginning

[@tux_duh]

Also like this isn't set in modern day nor with our modern science, the hunger games is far into the future and they can casually make muttations and heal someone entirely even old scars. I'd say it's some capitol engineering and futuristic science-y fabrics

[@purpledragonfruits]

@@tux_duh wasnt it mentioned that it was artificial fire?

Do you think the petals on katniss' dress were decorated flash paper?

[@vigneshnehru9822]

​@@glittergirljmmNo, they were real fabric, the flames were added in later using CGI

[@elliotpayton1033]

I would look into skin-safe protective fire gell, it's used in practical effects and allows a fire to be burned very close to the body (ie. clothes) without hurting the person.

[@Mawww_MMD]

i hope she sees this that's the only thing i'm concerned when she speaks about making the wedding dress T^T

[@AB-ty7kh]

Someone find her a stunt friend for some safety on body burns.

[@pick2206]

uyes

[@stonersiren]

used by people who know what they're doing!!

[@shamaramill]

I don’t think you went overboard with fire safety. I’m very glad you took all those precaution to protect yourself, your house, and others, especially after seeing how close you had the fire to your face multiple times during testing 😳. You are so talented, and I am always blown away by what you come up with in these videos. Awesome job!

[@JKTCGMV13]

It's funny hearing you say the safety stuff sounds like overkill. I work in aerospace and had to wear safety glasses at my PC for years. I find it very refreshing to see youtubers addressing safety directly.

[@elementsoffire9518]

Beautiful dress! As a fireperformer, I think all your safety measures were needed and you did a good job at thinking about them. I know experienced colleagues who had severe burns (one died). Wearable fire Props have proven to be the most dangerous, compared to Poi, Staff, Hoop etc. I actually love option 1, as it is safe and more reliable in performance and looks cool :) So maybe you wanna try it another time? I would love to see it! For everyone checking into this: Ground rule for all fire spinners is not to use plastic fabrics for the costume, as it can melt into your skin, and that is a nasty burn. Use cotton or wool or linnen :) Always keep a wet blanket and bucket of clean water nearby and don't point a CO2 extingusher at a person. Hope this helps!

[@AnimeGirl2561]

It’s kinda similar to „Sama“ Persian dance

[@hecatehellfire]

God I remember when that event happened, with the weighted skirt. Absolutely devastating as a fire performer - we all feel it when one of our own is injured or dies. Thanks for taking the time to talk about this - as an experienced fire performer, I concur with your assessments and advice here.

[@rydiavalentine]

I also think option 1 is the best and also looks more like the one in the movie. Since it's said in the movie itself, that the fire is not real, it's just an illusion.

[@ResaChiic]

Hi! i did fire poi and fireplay once upon a time but only beginner level and currently researching a plan for another fire cosplay photoshoot that i still need additional info for. Mind if I ask you for more details?

[@osanneart9318]

This is amazing. To look at CGI and to say "you know what, I can do that IRL" and to be right! That's skill!

[@keladry12]

I love how excited your mom is "spin, spin!!", and your dad is getting in there and coming up with more ideas....families that art together have the most fun!!

[@KayDeeKeySull]

Holy cow, amazing job on this!! As a chemist on the spill and first aid teams at my work, i'm glad you took safety so seriously! I'd be interested to see how it'd look if the "fuse" string was at the hem of the dress, rather than the top of that section, so that the fire can travel up the strings, rather than down

[@jimmykit-kat3424]

[@pinknblackproductions]

As an Australian, fire safety is drilled into us from a young age so thumbs up for all your precautions, the Mythbusters would approve

[@janusquiamco7128]

You could do the bottom of the skirt in large organza panels like in the original dress, then have an underskirt made of fiber optic fabric. When you spin, the organza panels will fly up, revealing bits of light from the fiber optic underskirt. It‘s not a dress on fire, but it‘s far safer and gives a longer-lasting effect than the flash paper.

[@bookwyrm8181]

I mean, me personally, I would take every single safety precaution possible if I were to LIGHT MYSELF ON FIRE…

[@Frostfern94]

I’m terrified of fire so I absolutely would

[@nohandle508]

Look, this is gorgeous. You were absolutely right to overdo it with safety. The fact that you came up with all these ideas, executed them beautifully, and created such an amazing dress is hugely impressive. The amount of sewing, folding, researching, and preparing is unthinkable. You're fierce ❤

[@zogannstorm6044]

That was pretty cool! I suggest that you create a net of the flash string to attach to the dress. Make the lines drape diagonally to get the fire to move around the skirt more. Attach bits of flash paper and flash fluff all over the net. Also, you could make little paper roses out of the flash paper.... If you don't try this, I might have to and I don't have your figure. It would look like a giant tomato got lit on fire! Flame-roast tomato girl doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Girl on Fire!

[@kritikagupta5582]

Oh you are so cute, love your humour.!❤

[@earthtonikka]

"It doesn't look that crazy impressive..." Girl, you're ON FIRE! I'm impressed!

[@ghostlywhispers32]

I love how shay becomes more of a fashion wizard every new upload.

[@BodeyBennett]

here for the basic safety measures! super cool project, glad you put the thought into it necessary to avoid getting hurt. im sure you can totally get a better burn if you try it again and maybe let the flash string dry out more, if that was the issue

[@hello.hello.]

Now I want to see all the hunger games outfits. This was so much fun to see how you worked it out and your dad posing with the material made me laugh - loved that your parents were game

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

That was sooo cool. It looks as if both the combination and placement of the fire string and fire paper is crucial. Before you do the wedding dress, you should do more experiments with that. Maybe also do more cross connections to guide the fire. Regarding the flame retardant: absolutely mandatory IMO. The problem with the wedding dress: this one actually would have to burn away, so a real one-shot dress. Or maybe use the magic of editing and make it a tear-off dress? As always, this was such a joy to watch. And kudos to your parents, they were such a fantastic support to this, honestly, slightly insane project.

[@robynandparker]

aaaaaaaaa I've been following this saga on Instagram since you first posted about it - it really turned out amazing! Obviously the fire working was really impressive but I also think the actual dress is stunning and I really appreciate the amount of craftsmanship and skill that went into it!

The heart attack I had when that first clip played-

[@iylila]

This is so freaking impressive! And honestly seeing how supportive her parents are too makes me so happy.

[@KitOfTheWeirdWoods]

Like others have said, wool is naturally fire retardant, and if you coated that in the spray it would be even more so. Maybe an underdress of wool, then you could maybe put patches of the flash cotton in it, and make a sort of over skirt of the flash paper?? It's a great video that can give so many ideas and inspiration for future projects!!

[@neon-kitty]

Wow, that was amazing! Can't wait to see you do more with this technique in the future! Also, not fire-related, but maybe you could do a remake/a dress inspired by the famous gold dress/coat that Liz Taylor wore in Cleopatra? I've always wanted to see someone attempt sth like that.

[@hoppas77]

I don't even sew but I watch your channel because of your creativity and adorable cool personality. I really enjoy your videos!

In hunger games catching fire there is this dress that Johanna wears when she is getting interviewed that is really cool as her stylist was making her outfit to imitate a tree and so it has lots of layers and it’s really cool.

[@lupakajsalisa3652]

Maybe some people won't notice it, but I absolutely loved the way you sewed down the tops of those pleats, I think it really, really brings a unique and beautiful touch to the well established 'formal gown' formula. As someone who's done some amount of practical clothing alterations and *a bit* of cosplay and is interested in designing my own 1930's based formal gown (just in case), those transitions between skirt and flounce etc. looking elongated and fluid still and not just blocked off is something I've been looking at a lot - and those pleats being sewn down like petals/stairs really did it for me 😁🥰 Thanks for yet another super creatively inspiring video, Shay!

[@marymcnellis1463]

I would start with something like Cruella's flame trick before you go after Katniss' fire dress

[@yammers8]

Both excited and scared for future fire dresses, but I’m sure you’ll be able to do them in a safe and cool manner.

[@ces7423]

i saw this on an ig reel so im glad the full video came up on my youtube algorithm. this is my first time watching a video of yours AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS IS SUCH A GREAT PROJECT!!!! tbh i dont think the safety precautions were overkill. it's so nice to see responsible creators here on youtube. i think it's better to be "overly" safe in the first try than to get in regrettable accidents that couldve been prevented. also love how our parents are so supportive! i also loved the research that went into this. and you giving it your all even if "it was a "one time thing" love the passion!! hopefully you can do more bigger projects that you want. it's the 1st time ive watched you and im already proud of you!

[@laovvi7140]

So cool! 🤩Creating petals instead of squares out of flash paper could have been a cool way to tie in the petal motif from the original dress.
