I am 53 years old. Been sewing since I was 12. Yours was the first explanation of sewing a french seam that actually made any sense. Thank you!

[@WillemDafoesBbg]

That's really cool! Do you have any tips for a beginner??

[@mostlyghostey]

Important to note too, if you are cosplaying a character that is a different size than you are, feel free to modify the cut or shape of the costume to suit your body better! You don’t have to wear something that isn’t flattering for your body shape to “stay true” to the character or design! Everyone wants you to look the best you can and feel comfortable!!!

[@KushKiki]

Yes the modifications is how you make the costume your own - a unique work of art.

[@sadmac356]

​​@@KushKikiyes! We alter the cosplay to fit our bodies, *not the other way around*

[@lexyranger]

5:42 I know the answer to this one! The little extra curved bit at the top is so the dart doesn't end in a sharp point, making it look very angular from the right side. When you do it the way you were taught it rounds out the end and makes the dart lay much smoother and doesn't make you look like you're wearing a bullet bra, if that makes sense. Also always remember to press your darts away from centre front or toward centre back (unless stated otherwise in the pattern instructions)! The dart adds bulk so it's best to press away from the front so you can't see it easily.

[@luciferteaparty]

Ooh this makes so much sense! Thankies

[@phonesallbroken]

I make plush and this is exactly it! We tend to call it 'blending the dart' and I typically sew them as curves to make them smooth on plush. I trim the seam allowance on darts, but the fabric I use allows for this, I imagine how you've mentioned it for the pressing makes a lot more sense for garments!

[@coffee-ouji]

interesting! thanks for the explanation

[@0live_garden524]

as someone who was previously not skinny in so refreshing to see a character like penelope get a look that flatters her body while still remaining plus sized! you did a fantastic job recreating it!

[@rockoutloud2me]

"I don't wanna wear sleeves under my sleeves, and you can't make me!" This is so funny and relatable as someone who lives in an extremely hot part of the US, I will wear as little layers as I possibly can.

[@yepimmason]

Hello! An Atlanta viewer here! If you have ever been to the Joann's in Alpharetta that's where I used to work! (I have no problem saying that since I quit a few months ago) Your videos are actually the reason I was able to work the cut counter. I don't know anything about sewing, but since you go into such detail about everything, I was able to help customers out in areas I never thought I could. Thank you for making such in-depth content!

[@Murasaki_137]

Those last words from the Cosplay Police are so incredibly important ;_;

[@hanbirch7073]

You have absolutely inspired me to cosplay and compete. I'm going to compete in my first craftsmanship competition and while I don't think I'll place you've inspired me enough that I hope just competing makes you proud!

[@spoons5308]

The PSA at the end meant a lot; it made me cry. I have really bad body dysmorphia and it’s completely ruined my self-image; I can’t even look in mirrors or reflective surfaces. I want to cosplay so badly, but I’m not allowing myself until I get into a more “socially acceptable” shape. It’s mostly for my physical health that I need to get in shape, but my mental health too. The goal is to be comfortable enough in my own body to show it off and show off my skills because I’m really good at the creative stuff and sewing! I’ll always struggle with my identity and how I’m perceived, and it means a lot to be reminded by people I respect that it’s not what you look like that really matters. At the end of the day, we all just want to geek out over our favourite things together and that’s just so inspiring to me. I’m going to a con at the end of this year so hopefully I can pull something together if I’m ready! And as always, amazing video! I love learning new things and watching you sew these beautiful pieces

[@DusieWoozie]

I love how somehow, Sarah has timed her video featuring the cosplay police when I had a minor imposter syndrome "episode". It's hard being a creative, and it's even harder when your a perfectionist who for some unknown or unreasonable reason relys on others to feel validated. So I thank you for you words of reassurance that, in summary is, "You do what you want to, because YOU want to."

[@pumpkinpatch6470]

I am an artist trying to rebuild my love and relationship with my art after growing up and posting my work online for over 10 years, “living for the estimation of others is a trap” touched me greatly. Thank you Sarah.

We love a good message at the end 💛 Also the billions of patricks were most excellent 😂🎉

[@Elizabeth-iv2pr]

Hi Sarah, I just wanted to say thank you for getting me back into sewing and crafting. I made my first ever dress recently, before finding your channel I had been scared to attempt it. But watching you make cosplays and dresses, but most of all problem solve when stuff didn't go to plan, helped me get the confidence to try. I love my dress and I'm making my second dress soon.

[@heavenleighbliss]

So happy to see fine fabrics get some love! I love them!

[@samispro_]

it would be SO awesome to see you cosplay either one of the og yaelokre characters or your own oc, because ik you’d eat it up and ask for seconds

[@muffinman_4]

i was interested in cosplay when i was 10, but wasnt in the best mental state, so i didnt pursue it at all. not the only interest i pushed away in favor of bed rotting, but ive since picked up a couple of them, almost like i've opened an old jewelry box. i really regret not at least starting to sew, but why not start now? so im just binging all your videos. for now im sticking to closet cosplays and i only have one wig, but it can only get better :)

[@justasinging_geek]

Okay but I love that fit issue fix.

[@kirinki13]

Omg you pull off that color so well!

[@JinxedSpirits]

Milinote actually makes it so my brain has order. It's so useful for projects!

[@noodlefeather]

I love the little sewing tutorials within your videos, they're so helpful

[@NachtAngel]

Been using milanote since your last video sponsor by them and honestly its so good! Using it for a cosplay and performance planning for the past few months and its really useful keeping everything in the same spot :)

[@cass_p]

I paused this video halfway through when you mentioned that you'd made a lore video - I had to watch that. I have never seen Brigerton - the costumes are beautiful but romance really isn't my genre, and anyway I gave up my netflix subscriptions when they started platforming a lot of science deniers and 'phobes of various stripes. But I digress! Anyway, I'm back to finish this video and I just wanted to thank you for bringing me into this world and giving me a perspective on something I was utterly unaware of before this point. Also, my sewing room is inaccessible right now thanks to some home repair chaos and I really appreciate the vicarious projet-finishing on display here.

[@RUlNA]

Oh i LOVE Fine Fabrics... I miss being in ATL for the shops. But this looks SOOO good. I don't watch because I have my issues but I love this

[@kanjifaith6619]

It took me way too long to actually watch this video and I love what you did in it!

[@Dionysus999]

I now need to make this dress

[@lynndragon2536]

gatekeeping in cosplay is often a saaaaad thing yes do the makeup yes where the pretty outfit but do it as you doing that character its about fun

Been using Milanote since your Teto Vid and I can’t believe I have lived with out it!!!

[@mouserdouser4455]

Watched this while I tried out the add and holy crap is milanote amazing! Thank you Sarah! Beautiful work as always too! 🥰

[@BrigitV618]

I appreciate the commentary at the end, in regards to body type/race/gender in cosplay, but the body type part resonated with me quite a bit. I've got a body type that is at the upper end of standard sizing, but isn't quite all the way into plus sizing (typically, I wear about a size 10 or 12). And this has always felt like a strange In-Between. I'm not skinny enough to match those characters. But I'm also not the right size to match, say, Rose Quartz or Penelope. There's not a whole lot of characters (at least, that I know of) that fall into this In-Between; so I've always felt either too big, or too small, for any given character. That hasn't stopped me from cosplaying characters from either end of that spectrum. But it is nice to get that reassurance anyway. 💖

[@jaistashu1560]

It looks beautiful!! It turned out so well and looks awesome on you! I also loved the cosplay PSA at the end lol

[@justasinging_geek]

Oooooooh I’m gonna have to try the hand-tying the darts off. I haaaaaaaate darts. I’ve seen one tip for using tailor tacks (I think that’s the term?) to mark them. Haven’t actually tried it yet because I avoid darts like the plague 😅

[@nunyabiznes7446]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO LOOK UP HOW TO DO DARTS

[@camsmyth101]

I love the fact the show designers were only inspired and did not recreat exact period pieces.The costumes help make this show stand apart from other romance period pieces.

[@ahhh4117]

no lining and the flat lining is historically accurate sarah! Ur right and so smart :D! Yayy! (also chemises only existed bc u couldnt wash the big dresses washing machines makes this irrelevant to us today so ur golden :)

[@pocketlizarddd4549]

[@kaicube5967]

perfect timing, im hand basting together a corset today and this is perfect company!!!

[@AmyKozerski]

When your milanote list said "fancy fabric shopping (Fine)" I thought it was something you really didn't want to do and you were arguing with your to-do list like "fine, I'll go fabric shopping stop nagging me". Turns out it's the name of your fabric store lol

[@NICOLEwendt73]

Im using Milanote to make my mostly 100% (probably more like 90%) accurate Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. Sine im talking like, even his Height being accurate, it is a lot, cause even getting the silhouette right in planning, has been a nightmare. I love to drop quick notes into Milanote when im on the go so i can sort it into the board when im back. I can really only recommend Milanote, cause the paper booklets i made before were usually really unorganised. Edit:Thank you for the end bit with the cosplay police sarah:) Im on the bigger side and also trans, so feeling like I can't cosplay a character i deeply love is something i get told a lot. thanks for making videos:]

[@MyFictionalChaos]

There’s this site called nifegun that u can use to take pixel measurements of an image, which cosplayers will use to get things accurate in relation to height and such (learned this in Sarah’s server, hopefully not unwarranted advice but a cool tool i use)

[@actual_corpse]

I want to make cosplay! Except I live in a camper and have very little space to cut big pieces of fabric, but I don't want that to stop me! I noticed your room doesn't look very big and I was wondering how you cut the skirt with such a small table?

[@meepcitymusic]

This video really inspires me to sew and cosplay more it just came out so beautiful!

[@AnnaCompton-qd6kw]

I have been sewing for several years now and am a junior in high school I would like to make my prom dress this year but can’t quite figure out where to start do you have a video or can you explain how to sew in bust cups and what to line a tulle corset with and also if I buy 1/2” boning what size twill tape do I need your videos and tutorials have helped me so much in my sewing journey

[@lizzynarnia9520]

As someone currently handsewing a gown based off this pattern....yeah, eff that chemise. Is it helpful? Yes. Is it necessary? Nahhhhh.

[@fischersgirl1720]

I would like to point out that there are people with blue skin But yes!! I got so paranoid 8 years ago with people trying to claim me dressing in kimono, learning about the different terminology and techniques in dressing/sewing, collecting kimono; was cultural appropriation. (It isn’t and never was Appropriation.) As long as you’re respectful, there is nothing wrong with dressing in cosplay, as certain characters, etc ❤ Love this gown❤❤❤

[@Kawaii_Demon28]

Such a pretty cosplay on you :0 It looks nice on you

[@Catmom-gl5nt]

I’m sorry, but I have to correct you! Yes, darts do conserve fabric, BUT they also allow a garment to better confirm to the female form. It’s why little girl’s dresses do not require darts but once puberty occurs and women develop hips and a bust, dart allow the garment to follow the form and not be a box. It’s the same reason women’s fashion often does not have pockets, because the size difference between a woman’s waist and hips push out pockets, causing gape and an unattractive silhouette. As a women with a with the measurements 36 24 36 I know the value of darts. No darts, I look like a blocky, stickie square, darts and I have a waist.

[@WhiteRaven696]

Maybe it's because I'm gay and Drag is in my community's DNA, but I feel like cosplaying Penelope and not wearing a breastplate is disrespectful to the iconic Nicola (the actress), who has very proudly and loudly praised her boobs in these dresses. (As she should, they're totally supporting characters.) Like even if the neckline is higher than Pen's own, put a pillow in there! I mean no offense, you did a great job on the dress, my comment is all in good fun.

[@saulsugarman8370]

You have a ton of technique but then take these shortcuts like the flat pattern. I'm still watching but I'll want to know wht you skipped the gold underlay. NO LINING but French seams lol. Embroidery does fray. Penelope's sleeves do not have those arm bands - and ues I know it's not an exact replica but like whyyyyy do that.

Primeraaa

[@SuperNovaSirius]

Something to reconsider; you are ALSO allowed to cosplay other skin colours. Why? Because anyone can cosplay anything they want. As you said, it's about respect. The only reason we pick characters to cosplay, as you did yourself, is because we love them. Not just their clothes. Not just their hair. We love ALL of them, including their skin colour. Juat like you say about body shapesbeing able to change, skin colours can change too. The sun changes skin colour. People can have vitiligo which changes skin colour. Skin colour is not necessarily race dependent, as we know Asians can be milky pale or deep dark caramel and African races can be either the darkest of dark or lighter in shade. There is also albinoism, which also affects any race. Long story short; there is no such thing as a cosplay police and there is no such thing as not being allowed to cosplay this or that. If you love a character and aspire to look like them in your cosplay, go right ahead. You have the freedom to do so. Don't let others tell you what you presumably can not cosplay. We're all better than that. "Living for the estimation of others is a trap, once you break free the world opens up."

[@discoj7112]

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. I think the point in the video is basically cosplay whoever you want, just don't do blackface/brownface when you do it. That has a long and very racist history that you would be very wise to avoid.

[@SuperNovaSirius]

@discoj7112 Yes, but see, that's the whole problem with this exact statement. I have given plenty of reasons why it is totally okay to do it. Cosplay has nothing to do with the historical act of blackface, because it is done out of love for a character and with completely different intentions. Just because something uses a same ingredient (in this case face paint or even just a darker/lighter shade of foundation, accessable to all), doesn't mean it is the same. Get that idea out of your head and give people the freedom to appreciate and love characters however they want with their cosplay.

[@vivichuu5386]

No 💗

[@unicorngallerexy9288]

​@@SuperNovaSirius you oddball weirdos are always trying to justify things that are outwardly racist so you feel you can say "nuh-uh!" When someone rightfully calls you out for either being dumb to think it was okay or just plain racist. No, it is NOT ok, nor will it ever be. We, as black people, do not paint ourselves white to cosplay a character and the ones who do get rightfully clowned on. The white people who do it are Sakai rightfully called out and clowned on. If you're too ignorant to see how things in the past shape how things are done now, just say that. Black/brown face was literally created by white people to mock/insult those of darker skin. That is it's only purpose, then and now. It's not even something black people have taken back, like slurs we were called in the past. It is okay for me to use them, not for anyone else. We left it in the past, where it should stay, bc it was just that offensive. Literally no bankable black/brown person wanted it. And it's also not something for you, or any other white weirdo, to say is Ok now either. If you're just plain racist, then say that instead of being weird and trying to justify something that every person if color finds incredibly offensive. Cosplay the character like a normal person, just like everyone else. I wanna cosplay Gojo? I'm not painting myself white, I'm putting on his clothes, wearing a white wig and wearing his glasses. Every character has other very distinct things that make them notably that character, wear that. Tldr(some of you love to pretend you don't understand): you're not slick, you're weird and racist. Please just say that instead of basically trying to tell anyone of come that race baiting/swapping is Ok in cosplay. It isn't. To any POC. Not now, nor ever. -a black cosplayer and character enjoyer. 🤦🏽‍♀

[@DetectiveNyx]

vitiligo is a skin pigment condition which destroys pigment, tanning takes a while and you still can't go extremely far, and every other condition you listed is a 'from birth' kind of thing. making yourself look physically black or doing blackface for a cosplay is not very far removed from what blackface originates from; blackface was a minstrel performance, and the majority of cosplay is also a performance. you're also white if your profile picture is anything to go off of. a white person does not get to decide whether or not a racist act is okay to replicate or give reasons why it might be okay.

[@absolv9259]

Thank you for the PSA at the end! It means a lot as a plus-size cosplayer, I often feel self-conscious about cosplaying characters who are skinnier than me, I worry about people judging me. But like you say, f*ck anyone who would judge people for their body not being the exact same as the canon character! The dress looks beautiful, wonderful work!

[@AileanFae]

Feel you!

[@Cosmic.Noodles29]

Honestly if anyone judges you for not looking like whoever you're cosplaying, that says more about them than it says about you. People should know by now that cosplayers aren't saying "yes I am this character, I look and act like them", rather they just wanna have fun and dress up

[@portobeIIa]

imagine cosplay is like theater casting. people will look different with different editions of the same show, people are cats for their skill first and looking like the character second... wanting everyone to look like clones is just ridiculous, if you said someone has the "wrong weight" for a character because so and so played as them and looked different, youd get weird stares all over. it's just as bizarre when people do it for cosplay.

[@thekeepyer2389]

Agreed!

every time sarah says shes “being lazy” i die a little bit inside because as a very novice-level person who likes to sew, that looks so difficult already 😭

@@MyFictionalChaos REAALLLL and yes sarah is such an inspiration, her vids are what got me into cosplay and theyre what got me more interested in sewing in the first place hehe

[@SenshiSunPower]

You're doing a great job with your sewing. Sarah's job is to make fancy cosplay clothes and videos. She was where you are!

[@arianaodom6601]

Also I think she says she’s lazy as a way to prevent comments along the lines of “your not doing that right, or you should have done all this before that” She could probably phrase it better yes to help others not feel like if she’s lazy then what am I? Vibes… but I think it works as a quick cut off for the stitch police.

[@__flop__]

@@arianaodom6601 oh, yeah i dont mean it as shes undermining other people, i meant it more as a compliment than anything, and that she inspires me. sorry for the wrong word choice 🙇‍♀️

[@PrincessPonies81]

YEAAAAA very lovely message there at the end about the "rules" of cosplay - i feel like way too many people forget the "play" half of cosplay. like as long as your "play" isn't actual bigotry, which it is (HOPEFULLY) unlikely to be, at the end of the day we're all playing dress-up. if someone's giving you grief over it then they have probably missed the memo on the whole "play" thing.

[@vivaenmiriana]

Darts aren't really for conserving fabric, they're for getting a good fit and shape around curves (i.e. the bust). For bustier people, we even have to do a large bust adjustment to the bodice pieces to make the darts fit the bigger curves. It's seen in historical garments more because those garments are more tightly fitted to the body than modern garments and cotton and wool aren't as stretchy as modern synthetic fabrics. The closet historian on youtube has an extremely wonderful video about darts if you want more info.

[@Oinsichean]

I love The Closet Historian! I've learned so much about pattern alterations from her, it's completely changed my sewing game.

[@MyFictionalChaos]

Im not sure if this is what You meant but darts are definitely used to “conserve” fabric, in the way that, your garment is too big and normally you take in areas with darts instead of remaking the garment (which would waste fabric)

[@D31taF0rc3]

You lose much less fabric using a dart than cutting out two pieces and joining with a princess seam, which is the other way to add curve to a garment. I'm pretty sure when she compares them to a seam, she specifically means a princess seam. Darts are much more forgiving to changes in body shape as well, which also helps conserve fabric as you just adjust a few darts and it all fits again.

[@sadmac356]

​@@Oinsicheanyeah I love her too

[@cornflakes-does-stuff]

apologies in advance I'm gonna do an "uhmm, actually!" but regency chemises were actually often sleeveless! I think it depended on what sort of dress it was worn under, like I imagine a short sleeved thin white cotton dress would be worn with a sleveless chemise ^^" Not that you have to make one bc of that haha. The dress turned out soo pretty!! ball worthy indeed!

[@egorpozdnyakov8812]

Also, ALL bodies are different. There aren’t two people with the exact same proportions (unless they are identical twins, but even then there can easily be differences). Plus, we all have different facial features (again, minus the twin scenario). So it is fundamentally impossible to fully fit a character’s appearance. Basically, it’s the same thing as with makeup. Everything’s fair game as long as you don’t do blackface and treat other peoples’ features with respect.

I'm pretty sure the funky back seams are princess seams! a very common feature in the Regency era, I remember them well from a uni project :)

[@wyw876]

I think I saw a video from Closet Historian (can't remember exactly which one, tho) where she went over how and when to move, merge, and split seams for desired effect (to make princess seams, scoot seams under other features, etc.).
