Making A Retro Futuristic Dress // The Shine Dress Explained

[@nataloves]

Ok as an ex-quilter turned seamstress, now I want to see a paper pieced intricate patchwork dress, I don't think you've tortured yourself enough with drafting tiny pieces! Mwah hah hah

[@kathyjohnson2043]

I've seen quilters create large crazy patchwork pieces and then cut the pattern pieces out of them. Spiderweb embellished top stitching would be a great finishing touch

[@damogranheart5521]

@@kathyjohnson2043 Pure Genius!!! 🐈‍⬛🦇🐉🦉🦎🕷🦑🐞🪲🪱🐲

[@molnotmole3428]

Not gonna lie, I started designing colorblocked tshirts after I watched this, since I’m working on a tshirt mock-up right now. Can you say statement sleeves!

[@gowriwarrier2370]

I don't think I could ever tire of seeing your videos! I say make them all on camera -- depending on the time you have, of course.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@caoimhenimhuireadhaigh1303]

Your Instagram audience chose a wonderful colour combination, this dress is so bloody pretty!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!!

[@janeunion8748]

I love your color blocking. I’ve got a few fabrics that would be just too much for an entire dress, but would be excellent as “accent” blocks. I feel inspired.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Jane!

[@marcco44]

Sister you are soaring...yes please take us along for the ride!!

[@suzannewch7202]

Disclaimer first: I own a sewing machine, but don’t really sew…..BUT I’m hooked on your videos!(I do sometimes fast forward through the foreign language of what happens on the blue drafting table of doom). Am I the only one who loves your fantastic make-up as much as your finished sewing projects? I can’t believe you still repeatedly are willing to suffer for your wonderful makeup……THANK YOU!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Suzanne! I wish I could wear make-up more often, I miss it!!

[@draughtoflethe]

I would definitely like to see videos on more pieces like this! I also really love the nicknames you've given these dresses -- "Realtor in Tomorrowland" and "Solicitor in Night City" -- they're both wonderfully idiosyncratic and perfectly apt, in that "yes, that's *exactly* what that looks like!" way. (Side note: I really need to try out Cyberpunk 2077. I have very fond memories of the tabletop RPG that it's based on. I know you tend toward the introvert side of things, but have you ever tried any tabletop RPGs?)

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I have never tried tabletop RPG's. I tend to get frustrated by even board games though becuase I want to win and never to embarrass myself, it brings out my worst base instincts! 🤣 I am playing Cyberpunk again on hard mode as gaming training now and die a lot, but the Night city atmosphere is too good!!

[@brookrose3023]

I would love to see more! They just seem to combine your love of vintage fashion and chromey shines things. It’s very fun to watch and get inspiration from❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@rinaeperron7746]

I so love watching your process of cutting apart your pattern block and turning it into unexpected and fabulous designs. You make me think that I could attempt some 'cutting apart'... because you talk us through the parts of what your doing. This one was LOTS of work... so many pieces... but so worth it! Thank you!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rinae!

[@Katypillar713]

If you plan to continue experimenting with different nail polishes, may I recommend Ünt peelable nail polish base? It protects your nails from the nail polish itself, and it peels off easily without the need for acetone. However, I have found that if you use the Ünt base under a very heavy layer of glitter, the whole nail full tends to pop off if it gets caught on something (similar to stick on false nails).

[@nataloves]

Can attest to this. Great stuff. Nail swatchers use it because they can paint their nails couple times a day and remove polish without drying out their nailbeds. I also refuse to use glitter polish without it hahaha

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Interesting! I'll have to check it out!

[@blktauna]

@@TheClosetHistorian also Zoya remover is fast as you want but easy on my nails.

[@damogranheart5521]

As someone who does her nails (both sets) frequently that sounds like a product that I need to find! I consider nailpolish an important part of my wardrobe. Thank you very much for the information!🦋🐈‍⬛💅

[@draughtoflethe]

I was also going to recommend a peel-off base coat, though I was going to recommend Holo Taco. Whichever brand you go for, I would consider them a good choice for sfx polishes like holographic, glitter, or multichrome.

[@shortsweettoo]

Take a hint from a quilter. When you are doing multiple stripes, sew your striped panels much longer then required, then using a rotary cutter, cut each whole pattern section. Each panel with be exactly the same as the others and therefore, much more uniform. Trust me. It will save you lots of time for a beautiful affect. Love the dress!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! The trouble is, each stripe is /not/ the same, they are subtly different angles to fit around the curves of the body. That's why I have to label everything so much, the pieces all only fit one place to create a dress that fits properly and are not interchangeable. So I don't need identical stripes, I need precisely different ones!

[@lynn858]

@@TheClosetHistorian building on Debbie’s idea though… If you were to do an asymmetrical garment, where your stripes didn’t have to match up across the pattern pieces: I think you could basically sew together stripes, cut so that the fabric grains align, creating a new piece of fabric that fits the pattern piece then cut your pattern from this new fabric.

[@aprildriesslein5034]

I'd love to kind of a cottage core spin on this -- a cute patchwork dress. 😊 I'm with you on the won't do things twice thing, which is probably why I'm so bad about mockups.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

In some tiny floral and homespun fabrics, would end up a bit gunny sax probably ✨

[@katwhit761]

LMAO when you were describing your relationship to nail polish and harsh polish removers I felt SO seen. This dress is gorgeous work as always, I LOVE watching your pattern drafting work it is so satisfying.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kat!

[@kaytiej8311]

Re the black facing : my mum used to say - Wild horses won't stop to take a look! But wowee! All that piecing. I hope you get that writing time you're after as a reward!

[@margaretkaraba8161]

I do a small dance of happiness when I see you've posted a vlog. I love your stuff so much (even the "boring" (as you call it) things).

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Margaret!

[@dlsgl407]

You really are inspiring. Thank you for sharing so generously. Definitely want to see more of these projects on camera please!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I would happily make more 😅✨

[@Thisisgrogusway]

Try ‘acetone additive’ by Bliss Kiss, to minimises the drying effect when removing nail polish. Also their nail oils are very good. I especially love the futuristic real estate dress which reminds me of a metallic one by Mugler that had what looked like fins or gills down the sides.

[@menthalightfoot4948]

I definitely feel your pain on the Zillow browsing. If I had a driver's license and could live in the truly dirt-cheap places where you have to drive to get to a grocery store, you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be saving everything to buy a decrepit Victorian or Arts & Crafts bungalow to fill with my antiques and turn into the haunted forest cottage of my dreams.

[@VeretenoVids]

Fun project! There are a lot of places where you can have great victorians relatively inexpensively. The issue always is are they in a place you actually want to live? But, yeah, mmmmmmph, original details! My house has most of them (including the pocket doors!), which pleases me greatly. May you find the house of your dreams!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Mmmmm pocket doors 😍

[@taylors5145]

Fun! Very reminiscent of piecing quilt blocks. One tip would be to chain piece when you have a lot of the same pieces stacked like that. Will make it go quicker and you’ll not waste as much thread starting and stopping a new piece each time.

[@damogranheart5521]

I find the whole process exciting from start to finish! I'm up to my bust line in other important projects right now but I have promised myself that I will draft my own patterns, pick out my materials, and work at a friend's house. She has a very big dining room table to cut things out And a serger! I want to see that trench coat being done too! Thank you so much for reducing my stress level!🦋🐈‍⬛🦇🐉

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Got to love a giant table situation ✨

[@deelorean2956]

Okay, yes. I'm absolutely making myself a version of this dress. I need a dress that looks vaguely like a time machine in my life.

[@janatherton9194]

I love how this one shimmers under the lights. I would love to see more like this and videos where you talk about fabric manipulation, or embellishments, they really take an otherwise plain garment to a different level!

[@mimimaitri1]

I can’t do the same thing twice either, or even follow someone else’s pattern *exactly.* I just can’t get fully invested otherwise. In your case, it makes even more sense as you’re making your own wardrobe. Having 2 identical dresses, even in different fabric, just isn’t as interesting, I would think.

[@theredrover3217]

I've used the same patterns in fact still have ones purchased (I see a use for) from 70's. I really liked how it looked on me, comfort wearing and getting compliments. Additional fun is it is easier the second time around. Possible improvements and multi inspirational uses developing. LOL more of a why not? 😁

[@Mysmichelle69]

You are a sewing superhero!

[@marybain6480]

I am slightly obsessed with vintage color blocked dresses.... Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of your patchwork pieces!

[@josie8581]

I am deceased, you've killed me with how amazing this turned out! It's not the pairing I voted for, but I stand corrected, this is the bestest! (And I can definitely relate to the 'oh, a feeling, how do it get rid of it?' view of emotions, they just - forgive the pun - feel wrong) have fun writing!💙

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Josie!

[@fawntheresa5338]

this turned out hot like fire! love it so much! I appree on the hate for appliques, i prefer to just do it your way. Of course, of course, of course! i am not shocked by your love of cyberpunk 77! you had my full attention at the mention of a trench coat!

Thank you! I am almost done with Cyberpunk and have to figure out what to play next now that I know how to play PC games and have a PC that can handle them 😂 Might hit up a Star Wars game next

This dress is gorgeous and you look amazing in it. Omg I hate zips, but I sew them in anyway. I made a pair of linnen trousers yesterday, it took me 4 tries to get the side zip in! But I love the trousers so it was (almost 😅) worth it!

Love the dress! Love the playfulness of cuting things into pieces and inserting colours and shine. I am right now finaly battling authentic 1934 Italian pattern for house dress. No instruction obviuosly, single size that I am lucky to fit in. Once I break the curse with this dress, I will conquer the basic block and go on mix and match adventures too, I am sure!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Sounds like a mysterious puzzle, I hope you prevail!

[@SuperPooped]

This is wonderful! And I bought some of that reflective fabric in plain buttercup yellow and I’m going to make high vis butterfly wings for the back of my wheelchair (when I get round to it 😅). May have also bought some black to make bat wings too…

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I’d love to see more of this kind of video! But I also like your pattern drafting videos and your dirt videos and you’re looking through old catalog videos and all of that stuff so I don’t think I could say what my favorite kind is but if you are enjoying yourself then I will enjoy watching the video.

[@cynthiadugan858]

Beautiful! I’m getting panther in the jungle vibes seeing you in this one🤣. I noticed the other day that there is a 108” wide black cotton sateen on Amazon for quilt backing at a very reasonable price. I ordered some for a steampunk dress I want to make and figured if it’s crappy, I can always get something better for the dress and use the sateen as a lining.

[@nono-io5kt]

I second the "panther in the jungle vibe." Also, this fabric combo is even better than the one in the look book; and that was one of my favorites.

[@aimster2084]

I want to tell you what I do for seam allowance. I do a lot of drafting (not as much as you lol), I self-draft and also use the lutterloh system. I don't add seam allowance to patterns. I have a set of 1/8" tiny magnets and I place them on each side of the scissor to build up to my seam allowance width. The sides are not equal- one side needs an extra magnet so whichever way I'm cutting I still get the 5/8"s.a. Anyway- I line the edge of the magnet up to the pattern as I'm cutting and creates a uniform seam allowance. I also use brass pins to pin the pattern to the fabric. They're non-magnetic so the pins don't jump up and stick to the magnets as I'm trying to cut. It's just a dumb little thing I came up with so I never have to add seam allowance to patterns. Because I'm lazy. :) Sorry for the rambling. I love your videos!

[@vivianramsay2527]

I'm just hoping that future fashion will actually look this good! But then if it doesn't then I can pull up your videos and make a retro-retro future dress! 🤩 Yep, the future looks so bright to me now!😎😎

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I found my nails turn yellow and feel tight (I think they try to curl up while still attached to my fingers?) with any kind of nail polish except Sally Hansen... and maybe try rehydrating your nails after harsh acetone treatments by applying copious amounts of lotion then some latex or vinyl gloves to hold it in so you can still touch things? Also my fave way to get sparkly nailpolish off was to stick each finger into the bottle of remover for 30 seconds then wiping with paper towel... Minimizing opportunities for mistakes is kind of a way of life. AND OMFG THE SHINY!!! ...irridescent organza trench coat? I do occasionally buy fabric with zero plan. Last time I did that, it was purple and camel plaid wool and I bought 6 metres of it... then went back to the same store and it was still on sale so I bought another 4m just to make sure. So far it's a skirt and a housecoat and I've still got more than half of it left! ...and this is why I'm not allowed to buy more fabric till I've de-stashed.

Try Nailtique #2 under your color. It will help your nails get stronger, not stain as much with polish color, and looks terrific if using on naked nails. Developed for those who used false nails which thrashed their natural nails. I just had weak nails. :-) Did The Featherweight Shop help in your quest for a bobbin gasket? AND I LOVE YOUR DRESSES FOR YOURSELF! They would look horrifying on me, YIKES!!!, but they are so perfect for your wonderfully quirky in the-best-possible-way personality! I really enjoy your channel. xoxo

[@believeinfaeries8713]

The printed fabric looks like abstract leopard print. With your recent color block projects you’ve inspired me to try it. I already have the design sketched out, just have to finish all the other projects on the docket. As for games, I highly recommend the Mass Effect series. They just released a remaster of the original trilogy and it is great. The writing is great and you truly do fall in love with all of the characters. (The writing is weakest in the third game but it’s still a fun game to play.)

All on camera, please! I can learn a bit from each of your videos, even if they are similar projects.

[@georgebricker2224]

It might be easier to leave the original in one piece and using tracing paper or tissue trace the pieces out and add seam allowance. Yes mark them to death but this way you still have an original pattern to refer to when assembling. Also I am with you piecing is easier that applique in this case. Power to the appliquer's but not my choice either.

[@nniffa393]
