Making a Dress inspired by Charles James Petal Dress - The Little Red Flower Dress

[@PinkChaDesigns]

The fact that there is absolutely no crease on the bodice is very satisfying ! Such a beautiful dress.

[@alys-anne]

Not only is your dressmaking gorgeous, but your filming / editing skills are impressive as well ! I love how you show us the extent of work that goes into such a beautiful piece, and I hope you will find time and interest in the future to do more videos, this is just stunning and a very lovely video to watch !

[@friedalepold]

Oh thank you! this is actually the first video I made, so it is amazing to hear that you liked the video! and I really loved to do it, so I'm sure, there will be more videos:)

[@JennaHasm]

​@@friedalepoldWhat book/course did you use to make the drafting of the peplum petal?

[@jenn_augenstern]

I follow a lot of crafty persons, but seeing someone work so professionally and tidy really is a big change! I love how much thought and care you put into each of your steps - it motivates me to get better at sewing, too. Thank you for sharing your process!

[@friedalepold]

Thank you so much! I am happy to be a motivation as well, since receiving all those lovely comments certainly motivates me!

[@louthi4533]

I follow you on insta and your work is absolutely stunning, I’m so happy you created a KZbin channel, can’t wait to see more 💜

[@friedalepold]

Thank you for the nice words and encouragement

[@MorganeRainbird]

So amazing to see the hidden structure. It looks as elegant as the rest of the dress

[@friedalepold]

Thank you!

[@sherilynl4038]

absolutely. but i'm still confused on the "petticoat" fabric of the structure piece. can anyone tell what might be? just how stiff it is...a crinoline? a nylon? thank you

[@aditipratap9299]

Trust me I've learnt more from 6 KZbin videos of yours, than what I learnt in designing school in 4 years......thanks ❣️❣️

[@friedalepold]

Thank you so much 🥰 I’m happy you find my videos helpful!

[@castoputa]

Those who sew eventually come to respect Mr James as the pinnacle of the craft! This is an outstanding reproduction, I hope you have a million occasions to enjoy it ❤️

[@friedalepold]

Thank you! And I totally agree!

[@saint-miscreant]

the magic of the youtube algorithm brought me here, and i’m so glad! what a fantastic first video, it’s clear that you’re very experienced and talented. (also, the explanations are clear - love the bit about the understructures, people really don’t talk about that aspect of couture-style dressmaking enough - and the editing is very soothing). looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@friedalepold]

Thank you so much! I really enjoy making these videos and I am happy you like it!

[@AgreekArussian]

Same! ❤

[@amndurrani1602]

Totally agree with @saint-miscreant

[@samanthapereira3733]

Absolutely stunning! Even the "base" bodice... a work of art. I'd so love to see more!

[@friedalepold]

Thank you! The next video will probably go more into detail about something similar, so if you liked it, maybe this will interest you as well!

[@tiny.hobbit425]

Absolutely beautiful in every way

[@joanne1605]

I held my breath in awe watching you work on the boning and the underlayer. I especially love how you omitted the waist seam, as the vertical seams accentuate the shape of the waist without the distraction of the horizontal line in the original. Gorgeous!!!

[@friedalepold]

Thank you so much ♥️ I’m glad whenever details are appreciated 🥰

[@deborahmelo7993]

The dress is amazing, the video editing is superb! I’m really glad you shared the process and that we can appreciate it! Can’t wait to see the next videos!

[@friedalepold]

thank you! I'm already thinking about the next dress to film!

[@heteranthera3473]

I really like this dress. It looks stunning! Also the video was very relaxing with the sounds of cutting etc., the quiet music and your voice.

[@MangoMintMickey]

This is STUNNING. I admire how practiced you are with your craft

[@friedalepold]

Thank you!

[@christytuxworth4205]

I'm so excited you decided to show us more of your work through video, thank you so much! I absolutely love the stays you created for shaping the dress underneath - the curved flow of the seam lines through the waist into the hip flair is so beautiful. I would absolutely love it if you continued to make these videos.

[@friedalepold]

thank you! I think the next video will be showing more of the structure, but with a different dress:)

[@christytuxworth4205]

@@friedalepold that’s so exciting! :)

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

your finishing details are impeccable. a beautiful dress, beautifully constructed.

[@Lanyette]

The dress is beautiful. I absolutely love watching your channel. You are easy to listen to and direct. You inspire me to make my gown for my daughter’s sweet 16.

[@tambriggs]

Looking forward to more videos! Loved the format 🎥

[@therealseamripper9844]

I love this!!! Thank you so much for this look at your work process, I love learning about all the thoughts hidden behind the result and why you chose to do things a certain way.😍

[@friedalepold]

thank you so much for the nice words !

[@keeganbronte8737]

Frieda, thank you for your beautiful videos, you have such good taste and style. I would love to have a dress made by you. You have such attention to detail and perfect technique. I love watching your videos and listening to you talk about your craft. I am looking forward to watching many more of your videos and hopefully having an excuse to have you make me a garment with your talented touch one day. I am learning to make my own clothes and watching you is inspiring. Your videos are soothing, peaceful and elegant- much like your designs. I especially like the dress you made for your mother. Wishing you joy and success in all your endeavours. Bless you.

[@poco3219]

I can’t wait to see more of your creations.

[@jackieraulerson2005]

This is not dress making, it’s dress construction. Beautiful.

[@queenwere1]

True

[@AmPlant]

The curves of the seams on the mockup are gorgeous! I love the camera work

[@Dlt814]

Charles James is my favorite designer. Red is my favorite color. I love historic costume. And I’m a sucker for nice velvet. This hit every mark for me and was exceptionally well filmed. Such a beautiful thing to watch.

[@DanielleStJohn]

Okay, that tip for getting velvet to behave is *genius*. When I saw you were working with velvet, I had been wondering if you had any pro tips for managing it, and I was not disappointed 🤩

[@byagnessimone]

Your work is so beautiful and neat! Very inspiring to watch you during the process of creating this dress!

[@samirataubmann]

Wow, this is incredible! What a stunning dress, even how you filmed it is art!

[@Tontto]

You are extremely talented! Thank you for showing your work!

[@queenwere1]

Fashion designing with a little architectural and engineering background... I love it. New subscription added ❤😮

[@daniellemcclung5824]

So beautiful ❤️ thank you for sharing your work! You are an inspiration!

[@friedalepold]

Thank you

[@marderin333]

The dress is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing the process with us :)

[@jefferyyasenchok3521]

[@nadia.lewis.]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the dress and the video. :)

[@rameenkitchenandvlogs1493]

It's looking so much beautiful dress 😍 excellent your work My Dearest friend awesome sharing 👌🤗🌹❣️🌹👌

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

I have loved my test muslins as much as I have my finished projects. Your work is just wonderful to watch.

[@alessamiridis5476]

I admire your work and craftsmanship and am really thankful you could share this with the world. I’ve always loved seeing the pictures of in-progress dresses you have posted and was thrilled when I learned of this video. I look forward to learning more from you! ❤️ I am really curious about your schooling experience and what you thought of the Ausbildung process in Germany. If you ever make a video about that I would love to watch it!

[@friedalepold]

Oh thank you! I'm so happy that you came here from instagram! The reason I made the video is because I got asked there to give more detailed insights so these means a lot to me... And to make a video about my background would be a good idea, I think this has to be done one day:)

[@Paula11117]

As a rookie at sewing she makes the most difficult and complicated things about garment making so calm and relaxing.😅❤ This is probably one of the best channels I found,I literally had a tear when she revealed that finished piece of art.

[@PolySammo]

The dress is just perfect. Every part of it.

[@WorldOfWonder66]

What an absolutely gorgeous dress. You have such a magical way to your dress making

[@Genteel_lady]

Marvellous work! It’s truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

[@ssc4153]

I am completely blown away at your talent!

[@camillacostumes2152]

Gorgeous work! I really hope you'll make more videos like this in the future 😁❤

[@lcarolynghearing854]

Since discovering your channel, I am enthralled with your process and the exquisite nature of your work…truly gorgeous work 🌹

[@hikki94]

Amazing! I look forward to seeing more of what you do! Thank you algorithm for this hidden gem

[@zakiurrehmaan2202]

I'm in love with the dress 😍

[@WheezyCatLady]

This is pure perfection from start to finish 😍

[@michellestrickland7613]

The dress is so beautiful and looks so comfortable to wear. Like something that grew up around your body and molded itself to you. Wonderful craftsmanship.

[@gladdy2104]

It's amazing! 💞 Thank you for taking us on this journey! Incredibly! 💞

[@clauselmilord8444]

PURE COUTURE! Fantastic work.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

What a stunningly gorgeous dress!

[@DoeDeerWonderland]

This is so beyond spectacular, amazing job!

[@ElizabethBugayong]

I have always wanted to try to recreate this dress, this is immaculate and so inspiring.

[@ucjakluz5538]

Anticipating which way the fabric is going to shift and pinning it accordingly is just a whole another level. Galaxy brain, one might say.

[@friedalepold]

Thank you! I would call it laziness, since this way I don't have to pin so much, but galaxy brain sounds way better:D

[@Sue-j7f]

Stunning! You are incredibly talented and brilliant at your art.

[@usagimya820]

I was looking forward to this video since you announced it on instagram and I enjoyed it a lot! I really liked how you showed the different steps an how they all come together. I find it inspiring seeing what techniques other people use. Also really liked the tips on working with velvet and the magic of arranging the fabric so that it shifts in the right place in the end! :D Looking forward to see more on your channel

[@friedalepold]

thank you for your comment! it really means a lot to me to hear that you came over from instagram! And I'm happy you lie the little velvet trick:D

[@LaineyBug2020]

It kind of makes me think of ballet! Great movement!

[@Ompe8]

such a pretty dress!! your video reminds me so much of the SAVOIR FAIRE video of the making of the red Dior coat dress! looking forward to more content from you thanks for sharing.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for pointing out how important understructures are. And, for showing the ironing of velvet.

[@celinamcginnis1787]

Absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for filming your process.

[@birdiebee7449]

Amazing video quality. Stunning dress. Please make more videos! I would love to see more of your pattern drafting techniques and how you refine a mockup.

[@bernadette7209]

WOW its so beautiful!

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Incredibly beautiful!!!!! xxxxxxxxx

[@estapley2680]

So excited to see more! Beautiful!

[@CL-go2ji]

I´m trying to decide whither I´m inspired to sew or too intimidated to try ... so accurate, everything sits perfectly! Maybe if I strive for this care with a MUCH simpler pattern ...

[@e.tduijn8842]

I love every singel one of your designs. Thank you for taking the time to making this video.

[@jodirauth8847]

You are a fabulous designer and engineer of clothing.

since I saw the inspiration dress on pinterest I though it will make a wonderful 50's historical inspired Aurora dress, in blue or pink 🤍

[@AstromancyfromDawncerise]

Magical dress

[@cherrylee1103]

your work is sublime and you are amazing to create such beauty.

[@ambermarie7204]

This video is as much a work of art as the dress - well done! I love that all the fabric was in your stash. That is one impressive fabric stash to have several meters of a rich velvet.. I dream (and drool) of having such a stash. I don’t dare dream of having your design talent.. again, well done!

[@pedinurse1]

Just gorgeous

[@FreshSalad645]

I'm so happy you are making videos, I've been following you on Facebook and then Instagram for years now ! The corset dress with the stars made me fall in love with your work ! Thank you for the video !

[@chandarussell]

Just lovely.

[@kristynaplihalova]

I love your work so much. I hope to the heavens you continue to upload. Not only are your pieces absolutely stunning and your attention to detail remarkable, the way you talk through your process is so calming. I literally listen to your videos to go to sleep, and build the dresses in my head as you speak 😌🤍

Je vous découvre après avoir vu la merveilleuse robe nuit et perles… cette robe de velours rouge est incroyable tant dans sa fabrication que son résultat 🤩… et ce montage vidéo est absolument remarquable !! Merci ! Vous avez une nouvelle abonnée 🥰 🌸🌸🌸
