Making a Fairy tale Dress out of Curtains (Recycle & Redesign) Ep. 5 | Style Studio |

[@chapman1569]

Makes me think of the character Amy Adams played in the movie Enchanted; she had sown a dress with the drapes! You kind of look like her.

[@MaddieLynn]

Oh wow🙈💕

[@galaandromedamejiasfalchet9108]

Wait... The very first reference of make a dress from curtains it's Scarlet o' hara

[@whitneylivingston5706]

To take a line from Carol Burnett... "What, this old thing? I saw it in the window and couldn't resist."

[@MaddieLynn]

Oh I LOVE THAT!!

[@5DNRG]

Absolutely!! My comment said same...I'm now inspired to watch the Gone With the Wind clip and those shoulders....😂

[@angelabaker4165]

Your students are lucky to have you as their teacher!

[@MaddieLynn]

Your so sweet! Can’t wait to see them again soon

[@DawnOldham]

I would never have guessed your dress had lived another life as draperies! Beautiful job!!!

[@MaddieLynn]

Yes, they lived quite the previous life! ☺️

[@crystalkillian8286]

oh my ..like Sound of Music... I recovered my queen anne dining chairs with my daughters dining room curtains...lol okay I will try to hang in and see what this is thanks...those gowns with big sleeves should NOT be just for PRINCESSES....why can't we wear them...? so much better than muscle shirts and bum revealing shorts that women trapse around in these days...thank you.WOW such a talented designer/sewer you are!

[@MaddieLynn]

I would 100% wear this as normal clothes!

Beautiful! Your channel came up on my recommended and I've been watching back through the videos you've already posted. Definitely inspired me to have a go myself.

Wow... Runway ready, ball ready. The details inside, the way the lining is so perfectly done, divine. Congrats.

[@MaddieLynn]

Thank you!

@@MaddieLynn I wish you can teach me, seriously. Nothing I do is ready for anyone else to wear it haha. I guess I'll get better with time.

[@sarahjocker5059]

Your dress is beautiful amazing the colour of your fabric is just delightful it is one of the best dresses I have seen in the you tube channel bravo to you. I love it. As you said create work comes within. Thank you so much for sharing I will be watching a lot more of your videos. Bellisimo as my friend would say 😊😊☺☺😚😚🧡💛🧡💛

[@MaddieLynn]

YES!!!

[@bunniesandroses499]

The fabric and sleeves are stunning! You are really fast at sewing. Sending love from America

[@MaddieLynn]

Thanks for watching!

[@fernandao.5001]

I really appreciate that you left the part where you made a puzzle out of the dress, it's nice to know what to pay attention to and how to fix mistakes, also it's kind of comforting knowing no matter how long you've been sewing, you can still make mistakes

[@MaddieLynn]

I make mistakes ALL THE TIME and I firmly believe growing as a sewer is about making mistakes :)

[@AccioMUA]

Love it! You go girl. I noticed that you didnt put your zipper in using a straight measurment, but rather adjusting it to where you would need it to hug your body, I didn't know that this was possible! Could you explain how to achieve this? Not installing the actual zipper, but rather having it help with the fit, if that makes sense.

[@MaddieLynn]

Yes!! I use that method for all my zippers, I usually make the adjustment by trying it on, pinning it to myself, and making marks wither the fit curves...I might made a video in the future :)

[@AccioMUA]

@@MaddieLynn Thank you for answering 🥰👚👗

[@susankain3629]

Absolultely love this dress, you look fantastic ni it. Both of your videos into the process were so through and informative, they have been a pleasure to watch. The work you put into this is amazing, thank you sharing.

It's a very beautiful dress. I had forgotten about the dress Scarlett O'Hara made from the velvet drapes.

[@ranasafi4858]

I loved your strawberry dress video and was the reason why I subscribed. Teuta Matoshi dresses make me drool literally and want to cry so this is looking fantastic!! The dress looked very princess like and I love the scenery you choose for the grand reveal. You're a princess and a very talented fashion designer. REALLY nice work.

[@MaddieLynn]

Awe, your seriously the sweetest! I feel the same way about her dresses:) Thanks for the love 💕

@@MaddieLynn you're welcome !!

[@shadowjewel]

Gorgeous! The drama!sleeves work so well with the ruffles on the bodice, it complements well I think. Speaking as someone who has collected faaar too much of the stuff (my magpie brain has had far too much control over my wallet), this looks like silk dupioni (also called dupion) to me. Here in the UK I know there was a trend a while back in silk dupioni curtains, however the trend didn't last as silk degrades quite quickly if kept in direct sunlight (as curtains often are). This is relevant as it means that, if you didn't pre-wash the fabric and the curtains weren't washed by the prior owner, washing could cause the silk to shrink (not necessarily by much, but enough that it may cause puckering on the bodice). If you have any left over, I recommend doing a wash/shrink test to see, and a burn test ofc to see if it is really is silk (looks like it to me though). Dry cleaning is an option, but my experience with dry cleaners is they are reluctant to work without a care label given the chance of damaging the garment, and, sadly, even dry cleaning can cause some shrinkage particularly the first time. For washing at home handwashing is obviously recommended for minimal impact, however, washing dupioni in water for the first time softens it a little, taking away a little of the shine in exchange for more drape (which I personally like so all mine gets washed that way). If washing at home, be wary of accidentally creasing the fabric as tight weave silks, including some dupioni, can develop permanent crease-scars that way due to how silk stretches when wet, but doesn't stretch back. As for the difference between silk dupioni and (silk) taffeta (there is far more synthetic taffeta out there then dupioni), mostly it's in the look; dupioni has a very textured look with a lot of slub, and is commonly made from two colours, one for the warp, one for the weft; in this case, black and bronze, which gives it that gorgeous metallic look. Other then that, taffeta is slightly crisper, and smoother, dupioni is slightly rougher due to being made with raw fibres. But over all they are very similar.

[@MaddieLynn]

Someone else just mentioned it’s Dupioni and I’m glad you mentioned it too! Definitely need to brush up on my textile knowledge from college :)

I live in Florida and couldn’t imagine trying to do all of my sewing in my garage, even if it does have fans. Have you considered getting a portable AC unit to put by your sewing area?

It can definitely be hot some days....I have thought about that and honestly need to get one!

[@roxiepoe9586]

@@MaddieLynn My garage lives as a clay studio. I bought an(for me) expensive ($500) air conditioner. It does help. It does not actually cool - and my garage is insulated! I use two fans, too. I don't know what your experience might be, but mine is no bueno.

Roxie Poe, portable A/C units are horribly energy inefficient due to their design. Get a window A/C unit instead.
