Making a (modern) Victorian dress from an IKEA bedsheet

Behold my triumphant return to the youtubes with a project that gets less and less historical as the deadline (a wedding) looms closer. Also I moved house, so now I can start making my surroundings *aesthetic* ... better learn how to do that...

I am so pleased KZbin put this video in my recommendations. The dress and the video are just wonderful. I love your carefree vlog style, felt very much like catching up with a friend and I’ve just met you. I never thought about making a dress 2 pieces. Think I will do that for my next project. Good job.

[@sadiebelcreations]

This comment made me smile so much! It really means a lot that you liked my style - I always worry when I'm editing that people are sick of the sound of my voice!! Thank you 🥰

[@Ellaodi]

Ditto!

[@eyesofthegoddess2967]

just be you Sadie, fear not the others, be you and be happy

[@sadiebelcreations]

What a lovely comment 🥰 Thank you!

[@angelikadiehl3750]

What a beautiful dress! I think you hit the perfect balance between historically inspired (people who know their stuff can recognize it) and modern (doesn't look out of place). Good work!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you so much!

[@mosswhimsy]

This came out so beautiful! I've been uhming and aahing over whether to get that same duvet cover for a witchy maxi dress... I think seeing your take has cinched it! Definitely here for your weirdness and I look forward to the next one

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you!! Omg it would be amazing for a witchy dress! And it really does feel so beautiful and flowy 🥰

[@susanperna4722]

Sadie is RIDDLED with charisma

[@sadiebelcreations]

Aww thank you! This really made me smile 🥰

[@dianesawyerdooley4424]

I was so excited to see you'd put out a new video! I really enjoy watching your progress. Looking forward to more!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you so much, lovely comments like this really spur me on to make more!

[@rondaks3757]

This was so nice. You are very easy to watch. Meaning- you are funny, smart, a little crazy ( in a good way), and excited about what you are making. I hope many more people find you, as I did. Keep up the great work! Much love from the USA.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you so much, that means a lot 🥰

[@rebeccaburch4837]

Excellent job! Glad to know you have more space. A flounced petticoat will definitely help with the shape. Welcome to history bounding. Enjoying the chatty style of your videos

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@pdias8469]

Even the shoes must manufactured the old fashion way.

[@kyriea3112]

Those Sleeeeeeeves!! Oh my goodness this is adorable! Fantastic job!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@saint-miscreant]

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thanks! Oh god yeah, my glasses wouldn't stand a chance without the robust frames 😂

[@kaytiej8311]

I do hope you're proud of this accomplishment. And a wonderful video too!

[@sadiebelcreations]

'Thread vomit', I am glad that I am not alone.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Still happens to me to this day! I'm editing a video to go up soon and the exact same thing happened in that one!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Your dress turned out beautifully! A nice mixture of old and new!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! 🥰 It's a good cop out for when I can't be bothered to do everything strictly historically 😝

[@feeling-dizzie]

Ahhhh it came out so well!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Ellaodi]

I am TOTALLY here for your particular brand of weirdness. Its a lot like mine. So, not so weird after all 😎

[@sadiebelcreations]

Hehe thank you 🥰

[@pdias8469]

Oh I love it. I think it’s in my bucket too. Thanks. Yes I use too bedsheets and patchwork fabric too. O body dresses like I do here.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! You just get so much fabric with bedsheets 🙌

[@gaby8567]

Loved the dress. Maybe a bit late, but I only just watched this video, but steel spiral boning can move from side to side which makes it good to use on curves.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Oooo handy to know! Thank you! 🥰

[@calalam7455]

What wholesome content! You’re so talented and the dress looks amazing! I also love getting to watch as you begin your journey to dressing in what makes you happy!

[@sadiebelcreations]

This really made me smile, thank you! I'm glad I can provide a wholesome little corner of the internet 🥰

[@karenturner7983]

Absolutely beautiful. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@sadiebelcreations]

@@karenturner7983 Thank you so much!

[@kerrymcilwaine]

Maybe consider a slightly smaller size at the neck and shoulders but with a FBA? If I don’t do that I find the I get weird gaping, just a thought. Glad I found your channel x

[@sadiebelcreations]

Ooo that's a good idea! I'll definitely try that when I make that kind of neckline again!

[@dkphillips1654]

It's beautiful and fits you well. Congratulations, late but still. You look lovely. ❤

[@sadiebelcreations]
