I just spent 1.5 minutes of my life watching someone wave fabric around and I consider than time very well-spent.

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Hehehehe! 😁

I saw your comment then watched the video and I was like “omg she’s right!” 🤣

the fabric is soooo prettyyyy 😫🦋

Ok, now I kinda want to cosplay Katara just to buy some of this fabric to use for "waterbending" in photos

[@lisapugh5015]

I was about to comment that she looked like she was water bending. It would make a great cosplay

[@lizziebakeoven3225]

A very expensive cosplay though

This is straight up the definition of gossamer worn by the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian legend. I love it. Haha

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Yes! That’s the perfect word for it!

[@rachelcrawford1977]

That’s what I was thinking

[@BluefishRedfish]

This reminds me of something I heard about in passing, that somewhere in Asia (I think it was India), several centuries ago, there was a fabric known as “Woven Wind” and that it was so sheer and so lightweight that 1) it was still sheer when folded over 7 times 2) it could be drawn through a ring without any effort I just read about this in passing and I don’t know ANYTHING more, but this brought it to mind so strongly I just HAD to comment

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

That's so neat, thanks for sharing!

[@beachhotdog]

this sounded really cool so i had to find more info. it was a type of incredibly fine muslin, often referred to as Dhaka Muslin. the wikipedia article on muslin refers to a book "The Textile Manufactures and the Costumes of the People of India" (1875) that fully examines different examples of muslin of the time. the absolute finest piece, called King's Muslin, was roughly 8 grams per yard. the next finest quality was called "Running Water" and included a story about an emperor angry with his daughter for how sheer her outfit was to show her skin and she replied that she was wearing 7 outfits. and this was all done with cotton! just incredible

[@officert5147]

For the last time please....don't think India everytime if someone mention asia.there is other country too which is in Asia.and yes you are taking about Bangladeshi muslin and it's a south Asia country

So at the end of the movie I remember thinking the veil MUST be CG. Seeing you play with it, though, I am probably wrong and I am SHOOK

[@BellaMaesDesigns]

Oh, true....I hadn't thought of that before! But yes, must have been some of this fabric!

[@carabbeanblablomst]

YES ! THAT VEIL ! i looove this veil , i was searching in bridal boutiques if you can find something similar but i think you would have to have it custom made with "super organza" or yumissima , and i think i will do it if i ever get maried ! it give such a mesmerizing effect in the movie , as if she have a veil made of wind :o

[@katherinemorelle7115]

With what she paid for it, I’d spend forever plying with it. Oh, and the cutting anxiety would be REAL! It’s likely just as bad as antique lace. Just... I don’t have the nerve to cut it.

Yes, it's a little daunting...but honestly, with it being polyester, I feel most safe with it because it still feels strong, even though its so thin! I feel like silk gauze is way more delicate!

[@indiatoth1891]

That is the most magical fabric I have ever seen. It's so beautiful. That draping/fabric movement sequence reminded me of 80s fantasy movies, like Labyrinth or Princess Bride.

When you finish, you MUST take this dress on tour. It will be simple! Really. We book places that have lots and lots of parking. Then, put up the runway for you to walk back and forth on. (All participants have to agree to have their hands tied behind their backs so they can't touch as you swan by.) Music and lighting would be great, but it is not a deal breaker. :) What do you think? :) Yes????

[@Angelika5378]

one can already tell that the fabric is super expensive. first just by looking at it and then because the website doesn't have prices listed (or that much info at all)

[@lesleyharris525]

So pretty, you could make a video of you wofting the fabric around to soft music and sell it as a relaxation aid,

[@spy6205]

If I was rich, I’d make my entire wardrobe out of this and look like an ethereal princess every day of my life. I don’t know why we haven’t seen more couture collections utilize it. Just imagine the collection Elie Saab could create out of this fabric... I would die.

[@sophiab7368]

I would say that the major factor of the expense of this beautiful fabric even though it’s polyester is how difficult it probably is to weave. Might even have to be woven on special machinery considering how fine the threads are and how much more like it probably would be for them to snap. Also, I have fabric envy now lol.

[@abandonedpast6410]

Beautiful, sheer, lightweight and colorful, what more could one ask!! Great comparisons on the other materials. I guessed 20 yards at the beginning. High guess...

This fabric outright defies my understanding of how textiles work. There were a few points where I would have sworn you were playing the video in reverse, just based on how the fabric was moving. That stuff is truly incredible, and I'm glad you were able to treat yourself to it for your own Cinderella dress. (Also glad it's in your capable hands and not mine, because while I consider myself a competent seamstress, making a garment out of something that expensive would TERRIFY me.)

[@Iwakeuptired]

As someone who can spin her own gossamer silk and then weave it into fabric... this fabric is one of those ones that simply wouldn’t be worth making without machine help. It takes me weeks of spinning 4-5 hours of an evening to spin enough to weave a 40cm by 4m sheet of fabric (the Max my loom can do) which in itself takes me weeks to complete. I’m doing this for my own 10th century wedding (yea I could buy it... but apparently I’m a sucker for punishment.) and I’m telling you man I could never spin this fine let alone weave this fine and I spin finer than human hairs with no trouble... so as someone who makes fabrics by hand (including silks, wools, linens, cottons, even nylons and polyesters in all kinds of silk, satin, sateen, box, twill weaves) I’m in absolute awe of this stuff. So as someone who makes fabrics... I also guess you have 18 meters Edit *15 meters was what it actually was so I was close!!!
