Sewing a Fantasy Tudor Gown || Sakizo Frau Cosplay Mockup

[@doemtij]

it's so interesting to see how you go from a pattern to a mockup and then trying it on and decide what's wrong and then just know how to fix that (which has to be some kind of magical skill, because how.)!

[@moth.faerie]

haha definitely not a magical skill, just lots of practice!

[@earleft]

It would be so interesting to see a bullet journal flip through. Love seeing your projects, you're so talented. Please keep including the cats!

[@moth.faerie]

you're not the first to request a bullet journal flip through! I'll sit down and do one maybe when I'm done with Frau? yesss always including the cats haha

[@faitparchristine]

Such an improvement between both mock-ups! The second sleeves looks waaaay better (I find that puffy sleeves of any kind are so freakin hard to accurately picture before trying them out, there's always a first disastrous version ^^' )

[@moth.faerie]

Yesss the first mock-up was a HOT MESS haha puff sleeves are definitely always a gamble I need to just make a bunch of patterns and take pictures of the mock-ups so I have an actual archive of them rather than guessing every time

[@jaya7760]

I'm sad to see that this never seems to have been finished. There was so much beautiful work in it!

[@sarahthegreatest]

The second mock up looks so good! The sleeves look more proportional to the dress so that was a good choice. I really like having the fitting videos their own thing because I find the problem solving aspect is really helpful.

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! I’m glad everyone seems to like the second one better too 😅 thank you for watching!

[@theprairiemailbox]

This is looking gorgeous already! A sewing room tour would be great no matter what, even better if it takes some of the pressure off to get these videos out so quickly

[@moth.faerie]

thank you so much!

[@melusinenoArashi]

Please continue the mock-up video, It's helping me to understand how to do them and where I can improve, and also it shows me construction technic. I do prefer the second mock-up to the first one.

[@moth.faerie]

Ah I’m so glad you found it helpful!! I definitely will keep doing them, they’re helpful for me too! 😊

[@sonari3686]

I love this formatting of video with one thing going on at a time, it's like waiting each week for a new episode of your fave tv show to air lol. it also makes it easy to go back and reference each part in case I ever think I'm talented enough to attempt something like this 😂

[@moth.faerie]

I am so here for this! Love the winter cozy feeling and the gown is absolutely gorgeous and I want these sleeves! This is coming together so nicely!

[@moth.faerie]

Ah thank you so much!

[@virginiaholcomb9033]

I love your designs! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey and letting us learn with you. An idea for helping balance the weight on your hoops is to make a structure that acts like a bum roll but supports the weight of the hoops against your hips/around your bottom. That way the cage can't rock forward. A good visual of what I'm trying to explain is in the movie "Mirror, Mirror", when the queen is getting ready for her wedding to the prince, you can clearly see the under structure of her hoops. Sorry I can't explain it better. Keep up the great work!

[@carlygreen8605]

agreed! i feel like a bum roll would really help persuade the hoops to stay put!

[@moth.faerie]

I have a little bum roll under there already but I'll take a look at that scene to see what you mean! thank you for the suggestion!

[@tealduckduckgoose]

I'm so impressed by the difference between the first mockup and the second. It's looking great! It was super sweet to see your partner helping out with the fitting

[@moth.faerie]

ah thank you! haha he's very supportive emotionally and in fittings

[@TheCraftKitten]

The bodice is always my favourite part :D I'd love to see a studio tour! I like seeing behind the scenes. Storage and organisation ideas would also be helpful to alot of us, I'm sure. This project is beautiful, take your time to make sure you're proud of it in the end :)

thank you so much! haha I'm glad that everyone seems to agree that the second mockup is better 😅

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I so appreciate that you showed us that you scraped the whole first mockup and redid it because it’s so much better!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

OH YES I LOVE studio/sewing room tours!

[@moth.faerie]

Ah I’m glad you liked the video thank you for watching! And yess just filmed it yesterday so studio tour is coming next Saturday!

[@PumpkinSpikey]

I'd love to see a sewing room tour. I love to see the progress. I don't mind waiting longer if a project turns out more the way you'd like it. If you need more time to feel satisfied with it and get it done in time for a con, then I think you totally should. I really like the sleeve shape. It's very cute and kinda gives mushroom sleeve vibes. A mushroom fairy costume would be so cute and fun!

[@moth.faerie]

Aah that would be so cute!!! Hmm maybe I’ll make something like that for renfaire this year 😊 thank you for watching!

[@emilyhayes-rowan9623]

Do you have plans to finish this project? I really enjoy your big historical-ish makes!

[@jamiemiller1680]

I like the new backdrop. I think it would be hard to see a project in a darker fabric, but that is easy enough to sort out by having a lighter backdrop to use for those projects. Your hair does blend into it a bit, but I didn't notice it until you asked how we liked the backdrop. I don't really think it is a negative, and I think it might be impossible to find one color for a backdrop that worked 100% of the time. I love seeing the mock-up process! I think it is so much easier to see where the fit issues are, and to see how you go about making changes to address them. I like it when you give possible reasons for problems, then explain why you think a specific possibility is the correct thing for you based on your past experience fitting garments for your own body. Fitting is so individual, and it is easy to think that one solution works for every situation, and that just isn't true. The second mock-up looks much better, especially the shoulders. I really love the overall shape of the sleeves. I'm so excited to see the finished dress!

[@moth.faerie]

thank you for the feedback on the backdrop! definitely will need to change it out when I'm fitting darker fabrics 😅 I'm also glad you like seeing the mock up process, and really appreciate all your feedback on that as well, thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@whimsicalmusedesign]

Im loving the new fitting! And your assistant Micah is doing a fabulous job! I agree, the first sleeve poofs were too big! It's coming together so nicely! I'm excited to see more!

[@moth.faerie]

haha thank you for watching, Ill be sure to pass the compliment on to Micah 😊

[@deathbright107]

I love this whole thing! It's so much fun to follow someone as they make things. I am pretty sure that to fix the heavy back, you add a bum roll under. It helps have something for the back to have it to sit on and holds the shape.

[@moth.faerie]

thank you! aah I already have a bum roll under there, I went over it in my farthingale video 😅

[@caylarivera2804]

The mock up/fitting videos are very information heavy, but I really enjoy seeing your process, the way you fix things is genuinely helpful for the self taught dress makers out here. Many of the things you do may seem obvious, but some of it I would never have even thought of! So glad i found your videos

[@moth.faerie]

Ah well thank you so much for watching and commenting, I’m glad you find them helpful!!

[@tnguyen9386]

I'm a new subscriber happily binging all of your videos, and I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate how much detail you go into when working on the mockup fittings. Your videos are very well composed and relaxing to watch, and I feel like I learn something new with each one. I've also been working on a sakizou costume (not nearly as detailed as this one) but ran into a block a couple of years ago because my skills were not quite good enough. Now thanks to your videos, I feel much more inspired to practice historical/fantasy costuming and get back to working on it eventually. This Frau costume already looks sooo impressive, I'm sure the final gown will be stunning, but of course, take your time in posting videos. Take care!

[@moth.faerie]

aw thank you for watching, I'm so glad you're finding them helpful and enjoyable! which sakizo are you working on?? i looove all her designs and trust me I definitely started with her much simpler designs than this annnd this one is still giving me some brain block 😅 but I love seeing sakizo cosplayers!!

[@tnguyen9386]

@@moth.faerie I'm working on the Alice's World bunny girls since I bought the tights already. I thought it was a simple enough design (lol) but it turned out still beyond my amateur cosplayer skill level. I've been working on corsets and hats and other historical costumes in the meantime, so hopefully I'll get there someday. I do appreciate you going in depth into different corset and stay patterns, that has been very enlightening! Making a hobbity fantasy wardrobe that fits is the dream, love that

[@anastasiamaliuha5481]

Gosh, were those deer? I suspect you're secretly a Disney princess. The second mockup shows SO much improvement! I'd probably leave the neckline just a little bit arched, not as high as it was, just not straight. Your boyfriend seems seriously well trained! Unlike kitties.😅 I'm a bit surprised by the shape of the lower sleeves, for some reason I thought they were fitted in the illustration, it's the cuffs that were massive. You're probably aiming for a historical shape. Studio tour would be great! Give yourself breathing space and don't push yourself too hard. It's already amazing how consistently you post!

[@moth.faerie]

yes! we have lots of deer near our house, they're so cute! The neckline is going to get tons of lace so even if I cut it a little low in the fabric it'll get raised a little bit by the lace 😊 haha boyfriend tries very hard, he's definitely super helpful! the lower sleeves have a little triangular white piece that gets kind of lost against her hair, I missed it the first time I was looking at it but it's there! the cuffs are also massive on top of it tho haha

[@KittieRoses]

Awwww Honey Bee's tail has gotten so floofy! I think the changes you made to the second mock up really improve the whole look. It was a good plan to change the position of the straps, the fit looks better that way. The sleeves in general are just such a big improvement. IT ALL LOOKS SOO GOOD! Can't wait to see more.

[@moth.faerie]

Omg he’s SO fluffy now its absurd, he loves sitting on the screened in porch in THE SNOW 😭 and definitely much happier with the second iteration!!

[@jacquelinegonzales6177]

Fantastic job! I enjoyed watching and learning. I think a bun roll under your outfit helps hold the back side weight of material pull back so the dress won't pull forward. But Im not as a pro. It this and bunnrolls work for me. You are an inspiration in my Renaissance Fair Customs 😊 thank you👍

[@moth.faerie]

[@princessserenity084]

I hope this help you and I love your videos. A bum Roll under the Hoop Skirt will help with the dress from falling forward. I make dresses like this for my Ren Faires. And if you plan on making another dress later on the pattern in the Tudor Tailor for the Henrician dress is great.

[@moth.faerie]

Ah thanks haha I already have a bum roll under the hoop skirt 😅

[@aphrael1588]

The mock up is beautiful! I can't wait to see what it looks like in the fashion fabric! Also, instead of weights on the hoops, you could add a tape (or ribbon) on the inside of the hoops so that it goes from side to side, crossing behind your legs (thigh-ish area b/c behind the knees will be uncomfortable and shins might trip you) will help pull the entire crinoline back so it doesn't kick out in the front.

[@moth.faerie]

I did that with my last crinoline! If the weights don’t work I’ll definitely just do the tapes

[@moth.faerie]

haha me toooo

[@christineyates2618]

Most women have a dipped waist at the centre back. If your garment is throwing the volume to the side of the skirt try transferring the waist dip to your paþern, this should lift the skirt a 1/2 inch and bring the gather back to its correct place. For the sleev, draw two lines from the bicep seam to the wrist. Place the pattern on another piece of cardboard and cut from wrist to top leaving the top of sleve attached by a little. Spread the pieces to 1/3 the gather of the garment and sticky tap dow on both cuts. Leavel 1/3 of gather on the under arm seam, this is now your new sleeve pattern that throws the gather to the front of the sleeve rather having it at the back of the sleeve.

[@AmberJansenYt]

I love watching your videos and love how this dress is coming together. Seeing you going through the mockup stages and doing the problem solving that comes with that is helping me a lot as someone who has only just started their sewing journey :) I have to ask though, what is your cutting table surface made out of? It looks great and you also seem to be able to pin into it which is really nice. Anyway, love the vidoes and would love to see a studio tour!

[@moth.faerie]

thank you! it's two sliding doors bolted together with a layer of homasote on top, covered with paper and a fabric backdrop!

[@annapepple477]

I know this is so way after the fact but! The Tudor tailor suggests a bum pad on the inside of farthingale (your hoops) over the small of your back, to help hold the hoops further back and not tipping forward.

[@magickalfantasy]

The second mock up was worlds better. Not going to lie: being able to see all of the undergarment layers through the gown from the first mock up was giving me a little bit of anxiety. The second mockup hid it all really nicely. :p

[@moth.faerie]

aah no I feel you, it was giving me anxiety that it was so far off from how I wanted it to look. I'm much happier with the second one!

[@raevynwoods9403]

I think the second mock-up definately looks better! And the whole process might be a bit less exciting than the fancy fabrics and embroidery and stuff, but it is super educational! I also think the background looks good, but it might be a bit dark. It is fine when you're wearing something light like the muslin, but the dark blue velvet might be hard to distinguish from the background. I would love a sewingroom tour, I'm always super curious about other people's spaces :). I'd love to know how you made your table, if I one day have enough space I want a big high table with a pinnable surface....

[@moth.faerie]

ah yeah definitely if I'm fitting something darker I'll switch to a lighter backdrop! I think I also want to just add more generally to the backdrop so it's more like a set than just fabric hanging back there, but anything is better than my skin tone matching the walls haha. My table is made from two ikea book shelves with wheels attached for a base, the table top is two sliding doors bolted together with a layer of homasote on top so I can pin into it, then covered in paper and a fabric backdrop! I just filmed a studio tour too so that'll go up next week 😊

[@moth.faerie]

Thank you! It should be fixed now 😊

[@akaanika]

Okay first of all I love your like bullet journal style pages for Frau at the beginning. That is so cute~ I do a like costume bible/scrapbook for my costumes when I finish but the way you do it is so pretty. The way your skirt is concentrated toward the back looks good I think! I will say walking around with the train, it pools out behind you and helps with some of the weight. If I understood, you took the skirt pieces from the gown kirtle rather than the actual gown pattern? But in the actual gown pattern the skirt is literally -enormous- and they have you basically do the worlds largest cartridge pleats to deal with the fabric. So I think you're on the right track! Also! I just wanted to say, I had SUCH a hard time with the sleeve/strap placement on my gown I made from the tudor tailor too. I went through so many mockups and they still want to pull down a bit when I wear it haha. I truly don't know how the kirtle and gown are supposed to fit together ngl. I found that scooping the strap in and making the arm scye bigger did help with that though since it gave the arm more room and stopped it from pulling down as bad. (Sorry for such a long comment!!)

[@moth.faerie]

ah thank you and no worries about the long comment, I really appreciate that you took the time to say so much!! Yes I expanded the kirtle pattern to be extra big and totally forgot that the gown pattern existed but it seems to have worked out well. I never really know how to transition cartridge pleats into knife or box pleats so it's probably better this way. aah I'm glad it's not just me haha, I like their patterns a lot but they're kind of confusing how they all go together. thank you for the strap suggestion, I'll try that next time!

[@akaanika]

@@moth.faerie Those are my feelings exactly. The patterns are really useful but sometimes its bizarre how they go together and don't seem like theyre made for a real human being LOL I wish we could compare hem lengths on the final gown skirts, I'd be interested to see who ended up with the bigger skirt haha Either way though it looks amaaaaaazing and I can't wait to see it all done.

For the wrinkling, wrinkles always go to where the fit issue is. In this case it's the side back imo

@@moth.faerie Thank you so much! That makes so much sense haha. You're the best

Undergarment. You are missing the hip pad/pillow. It runs about 3/4 to half way around the hip. This would rebalance the gown. And stop it moving forward. Great dress! And thank you

I’m wearing one in this video! I went through the undergarments in previous videos.

You sure the collar, wrist, muff and bottom white fluff isn't fur?

[@moth.faerie]

It definitely is fur

I'm always of the opinion that you should focus more on your sewing, than creating content for us to watch. If a video needs to be pushed back, push it back. I know it messes with the algorithm, but satisfaction with a project and piece of mind of not meeting deadlines for posting is more important IMO.
