Adding boning to the bodice would help solve the “frumpy bodice” issue and keep it up

The hint I learned when being forced to wear a strapless bridesmaids dress: Boning plus it should be sewn an inch smaller than your normal measurements. It needs to hug you because fabric stretches.

[@ThePixiixiq]

A tip for strapless: When one constructs strapless pieces from scratch one takes out width in the top edge by slimming in the top inch of the seams, to make it go ever so slightly in on the top edge. Using a pattern as you are doing here it will most likely not use this in the construction as it can look a little strange to someone without this knowledge. The easiest way and what I imagine will be most useful for your kind of process is to just pinch in the top of each side seam, and if needed on the other seams too. Hope this is useful information to you (or anyone else reading)!

[@kathrinelovell4025]

You might consider some boning as well, to keep it a little rigid on your body, so you won’t get the droop.

[@ThePixiixiq]

That's a good idea! For the quick and easy, cheapest and for not too much stiffness and wear you can get fabric covered rigiline boning. Personally I struggle calling it boning but for a quick project like this it's pretty darn handy to get a *bit* of support.

[@Costumerchx]

Boning would have solved the issue

[@MamaMOB]

It is thanks!

You could also use interfacing between the layers to make it a bit more stiff which will help give it shape

I agree that some boning would give more structure, the prom dress Marty’s Mom wore in the movie had boning, guaranteed. Especially for a strapless dress it helps a lot.

Adding boning channels in the bodice (between the lining and burlap, some how, lol) that are closed at the bottom but open at the top would allow you to slide (removable) thin glow sticks in them.

The Sally dress, and the Sally character are so appealing: a patchwork shift dress! Sign me up!

[@starcrunch6497]

Ok so nobody is gonna talk about how absolutely GORGEOUS she is?!!

[@AViciousVixen]

That caterpillar reminded me of Heimlich from A Bug's Life. Edit: Did NOT get to the end of the video before I commented this XD

[@dramaticteaspoon]

Yes! Thank you!! That's it 🐛

[@dramaticteaspoon]

Ha, just Nick said the same thing literally seconds after I posted that -- gotta stop commenting halfway through videos!

[@AViciousVixen]

@@dramaticteaspoon XD Same! I just got so excited when I saw it, I had to say something lmao.

[@sadmac356]

Me too!

Honestly once I get my own sewing machine I am making my besty a Jack skeleton dress and I am looking at your awesomeness for the inspo. This dress is every thing to me

[@munka214]

That looks so amazing! I laughed with the "sheds like a husky in summer time" because totally understand.

[@screech4505]

I don’t know if I’ve ever said this but to me you’re like the vintage fashion equivalent of SimplyNailogical. Your personality and the way you talk always reminds me of her and I love it

[@dixiecripps7792]

I can see it. Especially with the sock love.

[@junghoseok2742]

i read this while watching the outtakes at the end when rachel made that face in the car and i thought of the exact same thing omg!

Hm kind of, yes. Love them both, just excellent women!

[@annalyncrissman5630]

Yes yes yesssss yesssssss I just love you and this dress so much. You are stunning!!!

[@starrwinter]

I just love watching the body language transformation at the end when putting on the finished dress. Seeing the character come alive is the best part! ✨✨✨

[@artimisjlunar]

I'm actually kind of personally relieved that you enjoyed this project after your last herculean task that was the bat dress lol

Love the shot with the morbid podcast playing on the TV. They are also my go to crafting companions!

Seeing Frodo is always great, he protects and has fun.

[@susanthevegan]

This may be my new favorite. Excellent!!!

[@tiffa34]

I too also love the back to the future prom dress, combining it with Oogie Boogie is genius! I love the touch of the insects coming out too

[@rodentary]

I love this. I would suggest boning or interfacing in the bodice. And i love that u did another but make it vintage. 😍 i love this series!!!

[@sallylapradd2900]

You did a wonderful job, and your Oggie Boogie dress is fabulous. Love it. 🐛

Rachel: *pulls out caterpillar* This one actually makes me want to vomit Me, a shameless bug lover: But he's so fat and cute...

[@juliali6180]

Honestly adorable tbh

[@jas6246]

He kinda reminds me of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, but not blue for some reason

[@mckenzierouge4711]

He reminds me of Heimlich from a bugs life !

[@mandycollins8795]

I was thinking of the bugs from Lion King: "slimy yet satisfying."

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

I can't believe real ones ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THAT!

[@bettyj1173]

Rachel your videos bring me so much joy that I actually watch every single ad on them.

Mr. Rogers vibes when you were putting on socks while introducing the second day 😂

[@demismith5479]

Goodness gracious she did beautifully on this dress.

[@angrymuppet66]

Does anyone else actually read Frodos voice in what you imagine Frodo to sound like? (In my mind he has a distinguished British accent) Yeahhhh...I'm gonna stop drinking now.
