I made a met gala dress from scratch (part 2)

[@itshalina]

The cliffhanger you left us on was barbaric lol, I can’t wait to see how this dress turned out!!

[@rochellerobichaud7935]

Honestly, throw a cute cropped sweater overtop of this dress and just wear it everywhere. You did so good 👏

[@victorialove9104]

Yes! Turn it into a skirt and top for a more casual look. Good idea. ❤

[@yashiraonque3932]

Yes, agreed!

[@StellaBlundy]

It’s so funny, because what you call a French hem in English, we call an English hem in French 😀 (couture anglaise) good job on the dress, the result is amazing!

[@abigls]

It's called French in Hungary too. It's still funny.😃

[@MartaJuez_MiScrapLab]

Also called French in Spain ;)

[@thelastbluelady]

In italy is called: the Venetian hem! We call french the tangled thread! Hahahahahahaha!

[@jasmijnluyten3252]

Gorgeous dress, I loved how Benson went from sleepy to looking like he saw a ghost to sleepy again

[@victorialove9104]

Dress is beautiful! The cream color is lovely with your skin tone. If you wanted to wear it to a wedding just put a wrap or jacket or cardigan over it in a wedding appropriate color. Get your friends together for a "fancy" lunch or dinner out. Everyone can wear their fancies. My friends and I do this sometimes because living in your casual clothes all the time gets boring. Love your bike. You would probably like mine too because it's a gorgeous green. Good job. Good video. ❤

[@eleiaaa]

you could put a cropped crochet/knit sweater over top and wear it around... even just to a nice restaurant with friends! this dress is perfect for Vancouver weather right now too

[@heathermendoza8988]

I recently started watching you, Jenna, and I literally don’t watch any other creators now lol your personality is so refreshing. I lost my best friend recently, and I’ve been in a major funk since. Thank you for keeping me occupied and making me laugh on the days I really need it!!

[@cailllou25]

So sorry for your loss!💞

[@cindyreseck4429]

I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend. I prayed for you...Hope your grief lessens soon...

[@heathermendoza8988]

@@cindyreseck4429 thank you so much 🫶

[@shortymcshort4608]

YESSSS THE SECOND PART!!! Please don't do parts, I LOVE watching your reveals, and don't wanna wait a week for them aahhhh! But this one was so worth it!!! :DD Love your content!

[@carolynlandrum668]

I must say again how much I enjoy your vlogs. I'm going to be 74 on Saturday. I just started a completely vain task. I ordered pink clothes hangers and I am switching over all my clothes so the closet will look uniform. Like I said, totally vain; BUT I love how it looks.

[@georgiamoore8231]

Your sewing skills are amazing. I had an Aunt that would give us a Sears catalog to pick out what we wanted for holidays and it would be hanging on the door the night before that holiday.

[@patricialozano9897]

I love your dress Jenna! It looks beautiful on you! I lived through the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 20s oh yes im still alive and friends and i bought cheapest tickets to symphonies, operas, plays, rock concerts and dressed up fine. Go wear your beautiful dress girl!

[@nancyk777]

You so crushed this dress! It's gorgeous and looks fantastic on you. I think you should wear this dress as much as possible, it's too beautiful to leave in the closet in the closet. You can creative with it, even with a denim jacket over top you can make it more casual. As always, I love your videos and thank you for being a bright spot in my day! ❤

[@Kpup]

This dress is SOOO GOOD!!! You could honestly dress it up or down I love it so much

[@justhaveaniceday7]

You absolutely smashed it! Also, i really really love you editing, just perfectly chill/calming yet uplifting and entertaining (omg, Benson chilling 🥰). Aaand major thanks for including a little of your bike life! Real nice ride you've got yourself! I love cycling, it is so much fun! 🤗 Thanks for sharing a little of your life with us 💚

[@haleymartin9342]

I love seeing videos like this. Sometimes I get intimidated trying to sew because it feels like it should be a project done in an afternoon, but seeing stuff like this shows all the steps and love you put into it. Thanks, Jenna!

[@rhonnelsimms6550]

The quality is stunning...I just saw an Erdem on Farfetch that looked similar with the tiered bottom effect. I wouldn't date it, because good fit and materials are timeless.

[@kskc1234]

Jenna, it's absolutely perfect! I think there are many places you could wear this dress to, you outdid yourself as usual👏. I always hate for your vlogs to end, you're so much fun to watch

[@alicemarchetti4340]

That dress is absolutely amazing!! Great job🎉🎉 Also loved the lil final applause, we should applause to ourselves more often😊

[@ЕкатеринаДанилейко-я7ж]

Hey girl! I know you made this video a year ago but I just found it and you know what ? Thank you from the bottom of my heart ! This exactly how I work and create and amount of space I have for my sewing . Kitchen vibe YEEEES ! Mistakes YEEEES! I’m gonna follow you and see what else you made , but for now I’m gonna go and finally start my goddamn dress !! Thank you for the inspiration!!!! Love from Shanghai

[@CaitMakes]

LOVE this dress! The shape of the bodice is 10/10😍 Would love to give it a try, but not sure I can manage that without a pattern yet haha.

[@violetstuff7602]

Commenting again to say that I love when you do sewing a wardrobe videos, I rewatch them when I’m working on my own sewing! Hope you do more of them! 🌞

[@16Ravers]

Also I would love to see Jenna trying some how to dress down fancy clothes videos for some extra nice pieces haha I was just watching some videos on it this weekend haha. There are some great tips out there!

[@Lisa-Rij]

It is soooo pretty! Love what you decided on how to attach the skirt to the bodice, it looks so good. And the bodice, sooo pretty and it fits you really great!

[@dianegordon2702]

Super dress! And your so right about the finishing/detail. From one dressmaker to another...nothining better than knowing the inside of your project looks as good...as the outside.✋️ Benson❣️🥰

[@emilyrose2912]

You 100% crushed it!! I would be wearing it everywhere, no matter the occasion.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Hi Jenna. Love the dress. You are so talented to design, and make this with no pattern. It gives me so much inspiration. In case you didn't know, there is something called seam tape. A little silkier and less bulky than bias tape, but the bias tape did the trick, so it was a great choice. Wear it. Throw a duster on and it's fun for a night out with your friends. It'd be fun to see you make a duster with big puffed sleeves. It a great look right now. Anyway, Thanks for showing us how you do this.

[@solveigfrank]

Had my crocs with me in the clinic-stay few weeks ago and everyone loved them! Ive decorated them with bee and flower charms

[@corajohnson1885]

Thanks!

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

You did a beautiful job on your dress! If added a light knitted or crocheted shrug or tulle small jacket over it in a complimentary color, you could probably wear it to a wedding.

[@theresastachlowski186]

You could also look into getting a colored see through dress to go over it so it would be wedding guest appropriate. Like blue or deep purple Lacey or floral patterns one. Like a chiffon.

[@ludmilahcunha]

It turned out soooo beautiful! And I loved that you paired it with boots that was *cheff's kiss* Loved it!

[@briemme]

Ahhh it's so perfect! You truly had ✨the vision✨ with this one. Hope you get to wear it soon!!

[@angelsmith4467]

Benson falling asleep as your ironing your dress to sweet 😊 BEAUTIFUL dress Jenna❤ I love your croc’s too. I have pink ones with squish mellows on them💗💗💗

[@creative2716]

For wedding: add pale pistachio green mesh shawl with tiny flower edging. Perfection!

[@robertivers4200]

I used to sew and made all my clothes in hischool. Once I started working didn't have the time or space. You are very talented

[@mansoor3159]

Jenna you're so so so inspiring for me and I am so so excited to watch this video💕☺️💫

[@kimmhclouthier2594]

Good job Jenna. Wow that was a ton of work! It was interesting to see all the steps that go into creating the fitted bodice. The rest as well but the top seemed to be the most work. Loved it.

[@ajspanna1]

I have a tip for hemming. Run two lines of stitches parallel to the raw edge the distances you want to fold the edge up. The stitch lines make ironing SO much easier and you don’t have to keep measuring at the ironing board. You can easily pull the stitches out after you’ve ironed and then stitch the folded hem down as you’d normally do

[@mildreddiaz6435]

I would be so proud of myself if I had your skills and talent. I love it! I feel it is such a beautiful dress I think you should just wear it and enjoy it! This dress is so delicate and the color is suitable for any season. Great job!! Such a talented young lady!

[@meghanmcmahan175]

Wait this came out so much better than I thought it would. It's beautiful Jenna!

[@HemaniSingh17]

i love ur videos smmm, after watching them it makes me wanna learn how to sew like you can literally make whatever you want!! the dress is so prettyyy and ur so inspiring!!

[@holddowna]

Love this Jenna !!! ❤❤❤

[@bichiitodeluz]

👏🏻👏🏻 it turned out really beautiful, fancy and professional looking, you’ve done an amazing job

[@pixels2u]

Brava, you intrepid one! Yes, that bodice is perfection. And yes, when the new wears off, you should dye it your fav green and go out dancing. Ask the croc story guy to go with you 😎

[@16Ravers]

I love it! So cute especially with the boots 👢 ❤❤❤ honestly just dress it down a little with some accessories and you can wear it anywhere. Throw a chunky black belt on top and a funky bag 🎉 go off 🔥 👏🏼

[@lavendersun2010]

It reminds me if the dress I wore under my cap and gown when I graduated in 1979! So I absolutely love it! You did a wonderful job.

[@gingercollier7949]

Looks great! Great finish detail to your dress.

[@SusanDiak]

Fabulous job! Gorgeous dress!

[@kennaharrison603]

The dress is gorgeous! Love the fabric.

[@athenapantazes]

Hi Jenna! The way you think and create is so wonderful! I definitely can relate to a lot that you do 😊 once again you’ve completely outdone yourself with this dress! Amazing job!!!!

[@MartaJuez_MiScrapLab]

Beautiful dress! I love your videos, not only because of the content, which is great, but because of you and your personality!

[@PollyStarsh]

The dress is perfectly fitted, love it 👏👏👏

[@saneminotaur]

Was that Sims 1 music I heard?? The dress came out beautifully! You are somewhat of a perfectionist, so doubting yourself isn't all that surprising, but I'm glad you powered through

[@violetstuff7602]

Wowww it turned out so beautiful!! Been looking forward to this since last week! 💗

[@justgrowthehellup6598]

You are incredibly entertaining as well as talented. Love the dress. And the dogs!

[@mmmh6406]

Absolutely beautiful, you look stunning in it. All your hard work has paid off, you are so clever.

[@lnal5221]

Jenna: Look at this detail! Me casually watching on my phone : WAIT - opening the video on a bigger screen and setting to HD - now I can really appreciate the detail 👀😍

[@lindafaught58]

I think that was definitely worth the wait. It turned out so pretty and I am impressed that you could make this without a pattern. It would be fine for a wedding if you wore a pretty colorful cropped sweater or threw a shawl around your arms😍. You just look adorable in the dress - love it.

[@grokemsp]

you inspire me so much, like I've been crocheting a few days and I always have your videos on while I do my projects :D Also I've learned a MUCH of stuff from you! And the dress turned out so cute 💖

[@elijahsones6898]

It turned out amazing! I love how creative you are

That looks SO GOOD, Jenna!

[@amgarchitecture]

Beautiful dress! Looks great on you. Could totally dress it down with a chunky sweater over top and some cute sneakers... ❤

[@mnels5214]

I love it! It came out fantastic. I'm thinking of starting a zipper installer hater club for all of us.

[@brendasnow8255]

Speaking of bikes, in the mid-80s I was living in Portland, Oregon. A friend came out from Ohio and we took my new bike & my son’s, and drove first to Vancouver, where we rode the bike path around Stanley Park, then around other parts of the city before we took the ferry to Vancouver Island (Victoria), then to Lopez, San Juan and Orcas islands. She still mentions it, and thanks me for the adventures.

[@kristianbjrnjensen5388]

That dress is well done in many ways, yes. It was a good choice to cut some of the length. It is a summer dress. Use it when you wish to do it. Yes : It IS fancy but YOU, Jenna, are fancy, too, so you fit well together.

[@mary4914]

So beautiful! It’s giving cecilie bahnsen and I love!

[@lindadelacy9330]

Love how Jack is "helping" you...

[@patriciasiefert7140]

You are so talented! Love watching your videos

[@chickadeeacres3864]

❤Love love love how you really aced this. Bravo! You could just wear it and pretend you’re going somewhere. Try a Saturday night. Get a friend to join you and she can dress up too. As if you you left a wedding reception or other affair to stop in at a pub, or wherever you hang out.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@twinkie112351]

Looking at this makes me want a jumpsuit in this fabric haha. I'd love a wide legged pant that's layered like that

[@ariancampostheepicgamer5755]

That dress is so pretty!!! And btw that view just gorgeous, blessed girl!!!

[@paigelopez536]

Holy cow... dress turned out so sic.. it's straightaway Boss.

Really hope you're doing okay Jenna. Much love and I love the dress cut style esp the top ❤

[@debbie845]

It turned out fabulous! And it looks great on you! Great work!

[@desireelaird7513]

So good! Love it. You should make a top out of the bodice pattern. It's beautiful!

[@desireelaird7513]

Also, gotta add, you have the words most lappy lap dog!

[@bridgetjones8339]

Yes, you crushed it! I really love it.

[@karynbray1004]

Wear the dress with some summer sandals and you will look amazing. Wear it to run errands you won’t look out of place… you will get compliments

[@hilaryoneill98]

I love the clips for keeping the bias binding in place. I was thinking you would have to pin it which is no fun

[@sues4370]

I love Jack! ❤more of him pleaseeee 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@HuskyMama1009]

Very cute! A bolero or cropped sweater jacket would finish it nicely. Aaaaaaaand, having been a teenager in the 80s, I had a dress very similar 😂! You did an excellent job

[@gracenesbitt3172]

The dress looks so great on you. Good job I wish I had the talent to make such a great dress👏🤗

[@luciw8348]

I’m glad to see you let your spool of thread run around on your table while you sew too😂😂 I feel like it messes up my stitches to have it on the rod on the sewing machine🙈

[@Am27195]

Jenna modelled the dress, the same way I show off a new dress to my family XD! Loving these videos !!

[@debbiefinlayson2294]

For future reference when you dont want to do lining. Buy a slip or a half slip. they come in all colours. A tan/bone/natural will go under nearly any dress and not show. But getting 3 would solve that problem. Natural, black and white. Some nighties are sheer enough you could get away with multiple uses. All available at fantastic prices from thrift shops. Another way is to make them yourself. Then you can have a full slip without the straps as you can elasticate them to your size. Either above or below chest depending on how you feel

[@salehomme9898]

This dress is GORGEOUS!
