Hey Bella! Just wanted to let you know in case you didn't realize, but your thumbnail for this video says "It's wasn't right" instead of "It wasn't right".

@@nayticatellamy15110 Oh! Thank you so much for catching that! It's fixed! ❤

I mean it's one of the biggest project you've ever tackled. It's okay to be perfectionist since you're creating something you will love.

At this point yu should be reaching out to the resin youtubers to see if they can't make you 'glass' slippers with hint of holo shimmer in them- i feel like with the dress being THIS close to the movie you need the fancy shoes xD

[@solesuna]

Yes! Evan and Katelyn would probably be up for it.

[@heyitsemily677]

[@katieronnie5741]

@@solesuna Evan and Katelyn would rock that! I do think they would have a lot of fun once they made a shoe mold, it would be interesting to see if they would mold a store bought shoe or add onto one to get that more jewel like shape from the movie. Peter brown is also a really good resin youtuber, but I think Bobby duke arts would be really good at making a comfortable shoe! Seems like something crazy he would do!

[@rachelplummer2668]

A collab of EvanandKatelyn with Bella would be AMAZING!! I love both of their channels and they would vibe so well!

Love the vlog-style! Kinda feels like we're watching Bella Mae undergo Fairy Godmother boot camp, where they're forced to make Cinderella dresses by hand before they are allowed to do it the easy way with magic.

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Aw, yay! Haha, love it!

[@renoirrr]

learning something the hard way before the easy isnt always a technique i agree with but this time it works! you wanna make the dress without magic to realize every little detail in it so when you finally make the dress with magic it'll be even more perfect in a way

As a fellow perfectionist, I can completely understand. Your hard work and skill payed off. I am not a seamstress, or even a casual sewing person, but I could definitely see the difference. It all looks beautiful!

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

_hello fellow perfectionist!_ Aw, that's good to hear!

[@TheDisell]

This was so cool to watch! I’m not a skilled sewer or anything but I too was like oh daaaamn at the change on how it moved and opened “like a rose”. Adding those flounces to the inner hoop was sooo transformative too. 💕

[@siredgar7336]

My then dancing partner changed his steps in order to not trip over the petticoat. "Toes down" was the rule. We made it without accidents and without ruining the dress. :) Fun but terrifying. I admire your dedication!

[@tiffytattoo2450]

I read the title and was slightly shocked xD Your patience... ♡ To be fair, if Cinderella had to sew her own magical dress she wouldn't have lost her shoe but her sh*t...

[@TheEliseRodgers]

It is abundantly clear why Cinderella needed a Magical Fairy godmother, isn’t it? Makes you wonder if @Bella must not have at least some of that godmother’s genetics to have the developmental patience that she has for this dress! She’s magical!

[@tiffytattoo2450]

@@TheEliseRodgers All I'm saying is, if I had to sew this I rather want a fairy godmother to turn me into a pumpkin... I admire Bella so much. All her projects are outstandingly beautiful ♡

[@lesaschmidt7668]

😂😂😂😂

[@pv6450]

That is the dress of a lifetime. Of course the original was made with a team of sewists and you have done this all by yourself. Not easily done by oneself. I am glad that you shared all the ups and downs. That is reality!! A truly magnificent job!!

[@danaondrackova3431]

this is not a perfectionist problem, this is seeing problems and resolving them to make the finished item much more amazing. First I saw the first version of this petticoat, I was like "Well it will look much better with the rest of the dress on...hopefully" but now I actually see Cinderella dress in full motion

[@limatinlizzy]

Tacking layers together is something I've seen done with ballet tutus, to prevent the layers from separating out or becoming too fluffy. Called swing catches I think.

[@deadbybee]

But I think she wanted the layers to separate more? Like the flounces kinda "stuck together" when she was dancing in the beginning, but at the end, due to the added frills and flounces, the skirt opened up a lot more, like a rose

[@johnriccardi1677]

I believe the term is called french tacks. A chain of thread similar to a belt loop. You can make them as long or short as needed to achieve the effect you need. Lots of earlier dresses have them to hold a lining in place without the constraint of tacking the layers together thus allowing movement but not total shifting as she was experiencing. I noticed them used on wedding gowns to hold the layers together but still allow movement.

[@bigdadbeefsticks]

@@deadbybee I think you're misunderstanding. The goal is to control the movement of the petticoat not open it more. That involves *how* each layer flows and opens up. Tacking it down in certain areas prevent the frills from compressing together in a spin so each layer can only go so far. Each individual rose petal opens up less the closer to the center it is; so the closer to the hoop skirt, the more tightly tacked down the skirt layers will be.

[@LadyLocket]

@@bigdadbeefsticks I agree, watching the Films dance I thought there is no way the dress and petticoat weren't flying up away from the hoop more than shown, unless of course the closest layers are attached to it somehow. As you mentioned even just a few well-placed tacks will make a huge difference and is common in hiding structural garments and aid an elegant movement none weighted outerwear.

[@MegMarchSews61]

This petticoat is the Queen of garments behaving differently than you calculated they would when worn. The finished dress is going to be such an awesome recreation of the original!!!

[@urbanhomesteadingchannel1813]

I made my daughter's prom gown I have made many civil war era gowns I have even made a couple of Disney princess gowns for my granddaughter. I have never nor will I ever make Cinderella's ball gown. I bow to you. You deserve a medal. What a fantastic job!!!

[@cherrylee1103]

oh my. what a big project. it looks lovely.

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Thanks Cherry!

[@jordanbaker4728]

The last video the skirt made me feel like it was missing something, while gorgeous it wasn't the Cinderella dress... I know this must have been so frustrating and stressful but so worth it! The skirt has the magic now ❤️

[@BCre8iv321]

I’m making a cosplay of Sapphire from Steven Universe and have been following your progress for a while as inspiration for how I want to construct my petticoat. So thank you for making this video addressing the changes you made and why. It’s very helpful for those of us who use your videos and methods as inspiration for our own projects.

[@sirenofthesea7802]

That's absolutely brilliant! 😍💙

[@kaitlynnmccomiskey4533]

The frills are so much more open when you twirl now I'm amazed that it made such a difference!

[@maddymaree2684]

Ive recreated garments from movies and productions before, and one thing to help with that urge of working until everything is absolutely perfect is remembering that they had whole teams of experts making the garment, while you are creating the whole thing yourself! It seriously looks so stunning!

[@scrappypatterns]

I can't believe the difference in how the layers moved between the beginning and the end. It looks amazing!

No need for an apology, . sweetheart. You fixed it for YOU. this dress is An extension of your mind.

[@hollyw.7428]

Bella said: "I can't make it perfect!" For me it's so faaar beyond perfect. She did a dress on which a looot of people worked on, all by herself with a huge accuracy. For me it's so much more than just perfect! Thank you for sharing this amazing project and process.

[@silvergypsylady]

I'm so glad you did this. I could tell in the video before this one that you weren't completely happy with the movements of the petticoats. I think your on the right track. The movement flows much better now. This is quite a project you've taken on and you are doing a great job. Thank you for sharing the things that go right and the things that didn't go exactly how you planned and how you are dealing with solving those issues. I am enjoying watching this gown come to life.

[@YLeeFranklin]

I am in awe of your hard work. As an aside, - I’m very sorry - your upset at April snow made me laugh. As I child, I always asked what they meant by “April showers bring May flowers” because it just snows in April and there’s never flowers in May! I grew up and realized that this was meant for warmer climates than where I lived. And I actually just envy you at having green grass in April! Once again, great work!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

It certainly looks as though it’s moving much better. Before, even with small turns, we could see the hoop. Can’t see the hoop at all now. It’s just so pretty. So much work. I really, really admire your skill and work ethic!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Bella Mae: I am going throw this petticoat in the washing machine. Me: The madwoman. I don't think I have ever been more stressed by a wash cycle. That being said, awesome video. I am really glad you got to make the changes you wanted to the petticoat and that it is closer to the concept you had in your head. When the petticoat was up on the table, it looked like a modern art installation. Also, don't feel bad about tripping on the dress while dancing. After all, they had to make shorter versions for the movie to accommodate the running and dancing scenes and the actors still ended up wrecking the hems by stepping on them.

[@purpleebchan]

It's no wonder there were several people sitting around the dress making it. it's clearly a several person job. it's amazing you've done it all by yourself.

[@LadyB_20]

I am in tears. So much work has gone into this and seeing the progress made is just an amazing journey to be on. It really gets you motivated to do your own projects. And the B-roll at the end is just magical!!!

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Oh, yay! I'm so happy to hear this! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CyndiTrogden]

It’s so beautiful!! Hard work but it makes me want to make my granddaughter a similar dress. She does in fact want a Cinderella dress and I’ve seen what you get at the store and it’s not nearly as nice as a homemade one would be. I have a brand new sewing machine in the dining room waiting for me to go to town! I only took sewing in high school but I’ve made a few costumes when my kids were little. Thank you for your video which makes me want to make one just like it in a size 6X.

[@ShadowsOfMoonlight]

I think the tacking technique sounds like a great idea! From what I've gleaned from various making-of ballet costume videos I've watched, tutus are made this way too, with the different layers tacked to each other - not so tightly as to completely impede movement, but enough to keep things under control and falling back into place as the ballerina moves.

[@merizink]

You were successful in making the "blossoming" effect. The layers expanded and contracted to their original proper place. The tracking was a perfect solution. You did AMAZING!!! You should be proud of yourself 💖

[@IvetaWells]

I admire your perseverance, problem solving skills and patience. So much talent. Cannot wait for the dance video. 💎💙👗🧵🌊🫐💙💎🌀

[@jacmcw]

You really nailed it! I think because we COULD glimpse the hoop in the movie version, your make was superior! What you learned about flounces and cages is a wonderful gift ot everybody else who is taking on such a project. Thank you.

I have never wanted to spin in a frilly dress more than when watching you spin. The layers of frill building and mixing as you even out the hem was beautiful. The end result is so worth all the hard work you put in, well done on all the problem solving

[@jonathanrodriguez8589]

Your dedication is, IMMACULATE. Not only that but your patience and I admire you for that. It looks absolutely amazing!! I bet even the creators of the original dress are looking at your videos and are just as amazed, if not more than we all are. Best of luck with the final product!😄

[@ruralstitchingwitch8840]

oh my GOSH it moves JUST LIKE the movie skirt! when you spin and it lifts out to the side it's just PERFECT! tacking the skirt between layers seems to really have sorted out the layers into staying in the right places. amazing job!

[@sunflower_stargirl]

You have gotten a lot done! You improved the shape/angle of the skirt, and it moves so well now! It is so much closer to the film dress. I love all the things you came up with to solve the problems. Adding more flounces higher up really worked. Attaching/tacking some layers also seems to help the movement. The top layer looks so lovely with the crystals!

[@solalunehealingarts]

It's absolutely amazing the amount of engineering that went into this dress. You are astonishing.

[@kekjo611]

I feel you on the perfectionist issue. I have spent so many hours doing ridiculous things to perfectly usable garments because they aren't right FOR ME. But sometimes you just have to stop and say, it's good enough. Also, I can't remember. Have you weighed the petticoat yet? It's always so wild to me how something so light and airy looking can be so deceptively heavy.

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Haha, yes! Yup, I weighted it and it's about 9.5 pounds! (and that includes the crinoline.)

[@Bethbethisme]

I really love this format! It's really enjoyable to follow along a person's journey to complete a big project doing something they are really talented at and seeing all of the successes and failures. Your voice is also very calming so these videos are so relaxing!

Aw, thanks! I'm glad to hear that! 🥰

[@gwenttreebeard]

I loved watching you figure this out, there were multiple occasions where I was just impressed with how you improvised to improve the movement. Like the accordion-style tacking to allow the dress to open but not twist, or the new short layer to hold the extra weight, just wow
