I Made My WEDDING DRESS in ONE WEEK! *p.s it's haunted*

[@ladyanniebelle]

You losing the zip because you "put it in a safe" place is so real. This is why I have two glue guns among many other things🙈 The dress looks absolutely beautiful and fit you so well! I would love to see it in motion, I bet a twill looks *chefs kiss* Congrats to you and Dan🥰

[@MadameMyriad]

I swear the zip nearly broke me 😂 Thank you 🖤 it’s the best fitting thing I’ve ever made, I kind of surprised myself to be honest 😅 I might have to do a twirl shot as a short, a few people have mentioned it now

[@djsaxe520]

Yes, let it twirl!!❤

[@susanpilling8849]

I'm so glad I am not the only one who buys something and puts it in a safe place then can't find it anywhere. I live in a 2 bedroom flat so how can two 17th century patterns go missing? The dress is beautiful. I wish you both a long and happy future. 🩵🥂

[@MadameMyriad]

I’ve lost things that still haven’t turned up after moving 😂 I hope your patterns come back to you eventually! & thank you 🖤

[@allieg6401]

In our housetnesaying is its on the big shelf or its in a box or its in a box on the night shelf or its in a safe place... the box thing. Ame from moving 6 months ago and we still can't find things that were put in boxes with certain things. 👍🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Madonnalitta1]

😂 me too. I live in a tiny flat. Either the borrowers live with me or my bookshelf is a portal to another dimension.

[@jeremyhellen8234]

Not me spending £543 to hop on a plane so I can get my £2 cauldron mug from Tesco. Absolutely beautiful dress! Congratulations on the dress and the wedding!

[@MadameMyriad]

Haha maybe they deliver 😂 & thank you 🥰

[@sElfmadecreations]

The sheer joy to see you practice-cut your cake with a sword replica (I love that sword, so cool you went with that particular one) And being excited with you when the gathering worked and how the bodice fits and... so so many of the small happy moments of your video made me actually tear up 😭💚💚💚 I wish you two the absolute best and so many precious and wonderful moments together in the future You look amazing! (and I am both team "I-too-eat-cake-like-that" and team "sew Cinderella's dress")

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you, that’s so sweet of you ☺️🖤 I think we spent more time picking which sword to buy than we did on any other aspect of the planning 😅 it is a beautiful replica, the quality is amazing Thank you again 🥰 (I’m glad I’m not alone in this and you’re just saying that because I made you get Gandalf back out 😂)

[@megs7019]

When sewing with slick fabrics I use tissue paper it helps a lot and easy to tear away and keep using same sheet.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thanks for the tip! I’ve got loads left over so it’ll come in handy 🖤

[@LadyLJOII]

I would say from years of working at JoAnn Fabrics and learning very young to sew from my Mother, Chiffon is usually pretty smooth as a fabric. Georgette is a textured fabric that is a cousin to Chiffon. So you may have Georgette there. It's pronounced george -Jet and comes from the French, just like chiffon does. Happy sewing. Exciting that you are making your wedding gown.

[@MadameMyriad]

Yea that sounds right, it probably was a georgette 😅 I got it from a deadstock site that labelled it as chiffon so I just kept calling it that

[@emilyrln]

A note of the pronunciation: the final GE of George and the J of Jet are the same sound in the word. As if Shore-jet started with a J instead of a SH.

[@estelledesigns]

The dress turned out so good and the stitching on the bodice is so neat! Congratulations and wishing you and Dan a fantastic wedding!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you so much! 🖤 I surprised myself with those bodice, I’ve never made one that fit so well before 😄

[@NatSews]

Haven’t finished the vid but showing the borrowed veil is so sweet.. almost 10 years ago my grandma was going to throw hers away and I kept it, restyled it last year (the tulle was unfortunately too yellowed) and got to wear it as my veil this year ! Intentionally incorporating family is so special🩷🩷

[@MadameMyriad]

Aww that’s amazing you were able to restyle it 🖤🖤 I love hearing about all the special details people put in their weddings 🥰

[@magshunter1557]

My daughter wore her grandmother 's headdress from the 1950s . She carefully removed veil as it was very damaged. Got a similar net and made a new one. Both veil s started with headdress after the wedding

[@NatSews]

@@magshunter1557ah that is so sweet ❤️ that is similar to what I did, kept the main bit the same but added new tulle and some fabric from my dress onto the headpiece. So special for her to have the opportunity to do that!!

[@grimnirnacht]

It turned out so hauntingly beautiful 🖤 I hope your day was lovely

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🥰🖤 it was the perfect day, we loved it!

[@emilyrln]

For future bodices,you could stitch the boning to the lining a short distance away from the seam, then stitch in the ditch to connect the lining to the top fabric, either by machine or hand. You could also tack them together by hand,possibly even with the boning stitched directly over the seams, although it might be hard to manipulate the needle against the boning.

[@MadameMyriad]

I’ve seen people use techniques like that before! I definitely have not unlocked that skill level yet, nothing but respect to those who can pull that off 🫡

[@kemallory6123]

0😊😅😢. 😅😮

[@FenrirsToeBeans]

First, off congratulations, so happy for you guys. Dress looks so great!! Second, for slippy fabric I sometimes do a loose running stitch by hand, then machine it after Third, ideas that come to mind for white fabric: Galadriel, White Queen (Alice in Wonderland), both white dresses from My Fair Lady

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you! 🥰 that’s a really good idea, I should have done that😅 I love those ideas! Thank you ☺️

[@patriciawilliams3006]

Love the aesthetic of a haunted wedding dress, it turned out amazing and I am sure you looked absolutely beautiful on your wedding day.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you so much 🥰🖤

[@zooh8017]

If you can’t fined projects for some of your white fabric you can always dye it any color you want!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you for the suggestion 🖤 I think I will do that at some point, I just tried dying fabric for the first time with my current project and I loved the process!

[@juliah8691]

Congratulations! The dress looks beautiful, and I hope you have all the best twirls of happiness on the big day!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🥰 I definitely enjoyed wearing one of my dresses out for a change 😄

[@nicolabrierley3797]

Well done for being so brave to make your own wedding dress and it looked so lovely. As a trained dress maker there were a few cringey moments. I wish I could help you, but here are some suggestions 😊. useful tips. Measure the hem from the ground (pref with shoes on) because the shape of the body usally makes the back higher than the front. Put pins in with the point away from your direction of sewing so you can get them out easier. Follow pattern instructions, it teaches you how to do things. Place pattern pieces on the straight of grain. I wish you the very best in your sewing and hope my tips will be helpful. Nx

[@emilyrln]

Question: what are your thoughts on putting pins perpendicular to the direction of sewing? I find they're easiest to pull out from that direction. Then again, I also tend to run over them with abandon and don't change my needle regularly, which has led to issues 😅

[@jlcbb1973]

Same thoughts occurred to me. Cutting the circle of the skirt too - not the best way of doing it. The centre point isn't firm. Also no pressing of seams as you go. Soft fabric like she used doesn't flatten nicely without it. Seams are 'bumpy'.

[@LeeLee86]

Congratulations!!! The dress is beautiful. And what kind of wedding would it be if there wasn’t any stress 😂? You did fantastic!! I hope your day was amazing and everything you and Dan hoped and wanted it to be! ❤ And on another note, I enjoyed the longer video!! No need to cut down future ones to be shorter, longer is better!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you ☺️ I’m disorganised at the best of times, I had no chance not getting stressed by the wedding 😅 it was all worth it though, our day was perfect! Thanks for the feedback, I really struggle with figuring out the best video length, forever paranoid I’m going to bore people 😂

[@mrsgingernoisette]

Omg your dress is totally giving that Pinterest gown vibes, I'm sure you gonna have the best photos with it💜 Personally I'd choose your version in any given day. I got married a year ago and you reminded me of some ~sweet stress~😊

[@MadameMyriad]

Oh wow, thank you! 🥰 yea the stress was real but oh so worth it 😄

[@laurarose8481]

im honestly so impressed you decided to make your wedding dress a week before your wedding. I'm not even engaged yet, but im already stressing about making my wedding dress

[@MadameMyriad]

I always thought I’d spend a year putting in loads of detailed work and it would be my ultimate masterpiece, but then I only gave myself 2 month notice and it took me that long to even decide what to do 😂 it was such a fun experience though, I’m so glad I made my own, I hope you enjoy the process too 🖤

[@meiraloraduncan943]

This is gorgeous! I completely agree with you with regards to seeing the boning channels on the outside of the bodice. Could you sew it as normal with the channels and then hand sew or machine sew the lace over it to hide the channels while still having a fitted bodice? I have seen designers on the various shows and in documentaries that applique the lace or other fabric or beaded bits to a garment/dress. Whatever you do it will be a beautiful dress.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🖤 & yea, appliqué and lace is a great way to hide that kind of stuff, I did that with the back to hide the fastening stitching. For this particular design I didn’t want to cover the entire bodice with lace (and the boning went all the way round) so I had to put in the extra effort to hide the boning channels. Literally another project and I would have let the stitching show or cover it in a bunch of lace like you said 😂

[@sewmuchjoy]

Loved it!! You did a beautiful job, and the gown looks so lovely on you!! 😍Congratulations to you and Dan and enjoy your honeymoon!! 🌹 Really enjoyed the longer content! And the spooky wedding ballerina reveal was absolute *perfection* !! 33:40 The little girl in me squealed at the lovely bell sleeves!! Oh my, I love bell sleeves!!! 🤤

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank youuu!!! 🖤 I’m glad everyone seems okay with the longer video, I felt pretty bad about rushing the edit 😅 The original plan was to recreate the Pinterest image vibe with lots of candles, but by that point we already set them up for the wedding so we had to think of something cool with just the black backdrop, somehow that led to the spooky music box ballerina 😂 & that is my new favourite dress, you’ll see it a lot now 🖤

[@williamsstephens]

My reaction, too. Beautiful color! BELL SLEEVES! Giving Bell, Book, and Candle and I Married a Witch.

[@sewmuchjoy]

@@williamsstephens Yes! I myself thought of Cassie Nightingale in Good Witch. :)

[@LadyLJOII]

Also, if you have a sewing machine walking foot, it can help feed that silk thru. Or you can use tissue paper under the silk or tear away just wide enough for the seam.

[@MadameMyriad]

I am happy to report I have now acquired a walking foot, haven’t tried it out on the machine yet so I’m really hoping it’s comparable 😄

[@mollybailey1841]

I just want you to know, I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I stumbled upon you recently as I'm a beginner sewer and you're personality is just so genuine and lovely. 😊

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to me 🥰 Feel free to message if you ever want to talk through projects 🖤

[@eebeegee8325]

Beautiful. If you can't use the white fabric youcould always dye it for other projects? Congratulations on your wedding! 🎉

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🖤 & that’s a great idea, I can’t believe that didn’t even occur to me 😅

[@DustAndGraceASMR]

I soooo love the whole making your own dress vibe 🥹 im watching while drafting/sewing bras 😅 cant wait to see the dress at the end! My husband and i were engaged for 3 months before the wedding, i grabbed a cute white dress off FB marketplace for $100au 😅 i actually think i was so confident we'd end up married that i got the dress in advance of the actual engagement 🤔

[@MadameMyriad]

I keep seeing people learning bra making, it looks like fun 😄 & I did have a few dresses saved on vinted as emergency backups incase everything went horribly horribly wrong. Haha, I feel that, we technically picked and bought my engagement ring 4 years before the official engagement 😅

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Thank you for the shoe company info. I am gobsmacked to see they do Size 2 as standard in quality leather shoes and boots. I'll be looking in again on them sometime soon.

[@MadameMyriad]

They offer such a wide range don’t they! And the quality is amazing! I couldn’t believe how comfortable they were when I put them on 😄

[@christanice]

15:32 I do this as a one-step process using parchment paper (I think you in the UK call it "greaseproof paper"?) to trace and use as my final pattern, it's really quite strong for pinning, etc. The only thing I realized about using parchment is that the commercial grade WILL take tape for piecing, but the parchment paper on a roll from the grocery store is too non-stick and tape won't stick to it.

[@MadameMyriad]

I’m glad you said grease proof because I was picturing some medieval scroll 😅 I’ve always avoided using tracing paper because I’m too cheap but grease proof paper is a really good idea, I had no idea tape couldn’t stick to it though, thanks for the tip 😄

[@samanthagirly3350]

Congratulations!! Your wedding dress turned out beautiful. So, excited for you!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@emilyrln]

Words cannot express how much I love your pattern weights!! I've got to do that with some objects 😊 also, brilliant pattern transfer technique!

[@MadameMyriad]

The day I first used them as weights felt like validation for my hoarding of nic nacs 😂

[@ceciliacarlsson9334]

I love the confidence after succeeding the machine gathering. From success to dreams to be able to make the live action Cinderella dress. Insane jump, but again love the confidence. ❤ And congratulations!

[@MadameMyriad]

That jump might have been more delusion than confidence 😂 still going to try it one day though & thank you 🖤

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Well wanting a haunted dress, no wonder the zip was hidden from you. The petticoat and skirt look fabulous, but I was watching strings fall so I think taking the time to at least whip stitch in a hem on the woven layers and then maybe pressing them flat would look better. The final dress is absolutely lovely, and fits you beautifully. Well done, beautiful bride.

[@MadameMyriad]

Haha yes, that’s definitely how I’m looking back on it now 😂 The skirt did string a little on the day but honestly very little compared to most fabrics and it really didn’t bother me, I actually kind of liked the naked edge look rather than it being hemmed & thank you 🖤

[@Stitchmaiden]

Absolutely love that you just went with what you wanted: and if that is "haunted" and "doctor who vampire" that's amazing!

[@MadameMyriad]

Aww thank you 🖤

[@nancybeck1428]

I really enjoyed watching your mental process, always the first step in making a new item. I felt for you in your struggles with fabric and patterns, as I have done the same. It isn't a simple process, but you looked great, even though the hem appeared uneven, due to being a circle, too much bias.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🖤 I do quite enjoy the planning phase of a new project, even if said plan goes out the window as soon as I start 😅

[@WatchedPlot]

I got that mug! I am seriously considering going back and buying enough for a full tea set

[@MadameMyriad]

It’s great isn’t it!! I thought the same, Dan suggested I collect other slightly different cauldron mugs to build a mismatched set though and I kinda love that idea 😄

[@kitterzy]

I know this is way too late to help, and I don’t know if this is available in your country, but Pellon 830 Easy Pattern is great to trace patterns through. It’s not transparent, but it’s translucent and sturdy enough to use as a pattern when you copy from your original pattern. I can easily use a permanent pen to trace the size I want. No slippery plastic, and it saves you one step. Another help with silk is to loosen the presser foot tension. That with leaving the pins in helps. Your dress turned out beautifully! And congratulations on your marriage!

[@MadameMyriad]

I looked it up and I can get it here! Kind of determined to finish the paper roll I have first though so it might take me a few years to buy it 😂 & thank you 🖤

[@filmgirlclassic]

I totally do that too! Losing things into the void. UGH that's so annoying! For patterning, I also trace my patterns, but I use exam table paper as my pattern paper so I can trace directly to paper! It's cheap and easy, though you may have to buy like 24 rolls at a time.

[@MadameMyriad]

I’m literally decluttering the whole house right now and it still hasn’t turned up 😂 & is that the same thing as tracing paper? I remember looking into that a few years ago but just couldn’t find a decent supplier so I went with packaging paper instead

To keep the pattern in tact you also have this roller thingy that makes holes in the paper and you can put your pattern paper underneath so it transfers the one on top via these holes that are made in the paper.

The black dress you wore while sewing is absolutely beautiful…did you make it, or can it be bought?

[@MadameMyriad]

I thrifted it a few months ago 🖤 I’m not sure where it came from originally though

[@patriciaschiro2659]

I made my dress, my husband’s outfit, seven bridesmaids dresses, seven groomsman outfits, five children’s outfits, my mother’s dress, and my father’s jacket in two weeks. We got married at a castle and did a rennasensesque theme. The men had blue velvet coats with silver trim and blue and silver brocade vests. My husband had the same but blue and gold. The bridesmaids dresses were all different and in blue and silver but they all had a blue chiffon drape from the back shoulders to the floor. My father’s jacket was black with gold trim and my mother’s dress was dark green and gold. I had one junior bridesmaid in blue and silver and my son had an outfit matching my husband. There were two toddler boys in ivory silk knickers, and vests. My two flower girls had ivory and gold star fluffy dresses with wings. I wore my grandmother’s 1940’s ivory silk dress and made an overdress in gold brocade based on one Queen Elizabeth 1 wore with long draped sleeves and a full train with a cathedral length veil. I think you did a great job and understand how hard the undertaking was. I must add that I’m a costume designer, seamstress, and heirloom wedding creator. Still, doing your own wedding is very stressful, but it is rewarding seeing the end result. I love your dress and love that shared it with us.

Less confident it would fit, more incredibly flexible on how it turned out 😂 & I usually buy deadstock fabric so it never really costs that much which further fuels my recklessness, I think the only time I bought something expensive was the coutil for my Edwardian corset and I was panicking when I made that 😅

Congratulations on the dress, wedding and husband. How comfy were the shoes to walk in? I have my eye on some memery shoes too, hence the questions.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🖤 Honestly, when I first put them on, they were the comfiest shoe I had ever worn, it was like putting my foot in a pillow! We did walk to our venue instead of driving and after about 40 minutes of walking, the boots rubbed the top of my toes a little but honestly I think I just needed to wear some thicker socks with them (I’m used to living in trainers), I would still 10/10 recommend the brand and I’m definitely going to be wearing mine for the rest of my life now

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you so much 🥰🖤 Share what you make when the time comes!

I always trace my patterns for similar reasons. I get this fancy schmancy tracing paper that comes on a roll and doubles as your pattern after. Not cheap though

[@MadameMyriad]

Might treat myself to a fancy schmancy tracing paper one day 😄 until then it’s cheap packaging paper for me

[@margauxt740]

What about a tracing paper instead of the plastic you used? It saves one step and time, it is more accurate

[@MadameMyriad]

It’s just more expensive, I bought the packaging paper years ago and I’m determined to use it all 😄

[@dagnolia6004]

yum, yum, yum!

[@janetflach4462]

I would have taken the time to hem the dress. You can use smaller stitches to counter the "slippery" fabric. Great job !

[@bs6281]

I did a similar late last minute dress making for our wedding😊

[@MadameMyriad]

I hope it went well! 🖤😅

[@CherriesJubilee]

Congratulations. Your dress is beautiful! Enjoy your honeymoon. 🎉

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you! 🤗

[@ReneeRoyster]

I made my wedding dress then i lost it. Had to make another one.

[@ReneeRoyster]

Could've just thrown some bleach on the blue one..something borrowed something blue..

[@cb9825]

Oh gosh this must've been so stressful.

[@classicalbk]

LOVEyour dress! Can you please share the name of the bridal collection that inspired you?

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🖤 I’ve managed to find where the pictures came from, it was a CINQ Bridal show for NY fashion week, not sure what year though

[@fearlessknits1]

I recently used the ruffler foot on my vintage Singer for the first time, and if you're willing to do some testing and a little bit of maths, it's a game changer!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you because I’ve just ordered a ruffler foot and I think it’s going to save my life and my sanity with my current project, I really hope I can get it to work 😅

[@fearlessknits1]

​@@MadameMyriad My two Top Tips: 1. Playing around with the stitch length is your friend 2. Although it's unstable if you put it through without a backing fabric, it's usable and basically becomes gathers on easy mode, and still adjustable

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you for the tips! I’ve done all my ruffles for the project now, I definitely hit problems with it but I am so very glad I bought it 😄

[@kparinisi]

Congratulations! Please share some wedding pics!

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you! 🖤 we’re picking some out for a community post later ☺️

[@FlauschkatzeC]

All the best for the wedding.

[@MadameMyriad]

Thank you 🥰

[@solveigfrank]

seriously xD i feel that stuff dissapearing for no fking reason just happened to me yesterday and this morning with the jewelry im wearing every day but now half of it is gone and i have no idea where it went like damn....and u did greath with gathering! a few months ago i actually croched! a huuuge full vampirish cloak and had to connect the upper and lower part which the latter was gathered with yarn as well xD that was quite a challenge and this thing in its entirety is so damn heavy xD but hey was worth it in the end!

[@MadameMyriad]

This is the point where our ancestors would blame the fairies, from now on this is my reasoning when things disappear 😄 I can’t even imagine trying to gather yarn 😅 The vampire cloak sounds very cool though! 🖤

[@rendragyn]

Why a whiteboard marker in particular? So you can wipe the plastic clean and re-use? Or were you transferring the marker ink from the plastic to the brown pattern paper by smudging?

[@MadameMyriad]

Both, I’ve been using the same pieces of plastic since I started my channel 😄
