Sewing TWO Titanic Dresses in a Week!

[@ryanrayburn9187]

The reason the swim dress looks different in every picture is because it is! There were several made and no two are the same. Some are more purple, some have extra layers, some are longer/shorter, etc, etc

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

😮

[@xRaiofSunshine]

[@sofapop653]

I always thought it was blue 😅

[@sofapop653]

Anddd I thought the suit was black and not purple. Wth 😂

[@hvymtllion5231]

that's the character development she was talking about! lol

[@AB-zk4mk]

Yes! Stellar work!

[@huntressmma1822]

I thrifted my prom dress back in the day, right around when The titanic movie came out, and later realized it was a replica of Rose's red dress with the Empire waist and beaded cap sleeves! It was really cool and unique, I even had a beaded bags that belonged to my great grandmother to go with it. Suffice to say I was living my Rose moment!💜🎄🎁

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

My prom dress was also based off of Rose's dress. But I bought it from fashion bug for like $10 b/c it had a small rip in it under the arm and I fixed it good as new. I was class of 2000.

That dress is so iconic with the huge purple hat oof. Love it

[@rachel.the.riveter]

I was the crazy girl in high school (graduated in 1999) that carried around the script of this movie download on a 56k modem and printed out. And somehow - I did not realize her dress had purple on it. *The More You Know*

[@andrewholdaway813]

Stripped dresses are always popular.

[@LaughingInTiny]

😊 considering the difficulty of that suit and you not "being a dressmaker" you did a FANTASTIC job. Notes for Future Rachel: Interfacing is your friend with suits. Anytime you need a thing, from a lapel to a shoulder to a pia curved front skirt panel, use at least one layer (more if needed) of interface to stiffen or stabilize the area. You can get fusible stuff that makes life easier (just dont iron the side with the fusing up). Velvet is NEVER YOUR FRIEND. Velvet hates you. It exists simply to test your sanity. Having said that, stretch velvet can hide some pretty wonky patterning question marks, so... And if you're finding the stretch tricky for things like collars and belts (because you did yourself dirty by buying stretch for those,) you can always stabilize it with... interfacing! 😁 Super impressed with your dyeing abilities and your blush application. Well done. Glad you had a great time, hope you took many stills! What a stunning photo op! ❤

[@renateverhoeven5679]

Hahahaha.. as someone that loves the look of velvet and sews quite a bit of costumes.. I absolutely HATE sewing with velvet. Just.. ugh. Fluff everywhere and hard to sew.

[@sour_dough_bread]

this is so useful thank you!!!

[@sunnydoom2726]

Sew in short, interfacing, interfacing, and more interfacing. When I first learned about inter facing my take away was...so you like this fabric but it is not heavy enough? Tranform it with interfacing!

[@seanmcgcostumes]

As a huge Titanic nerd, I am genuinely so in awe of how much you nailed these two costumes in just a week! This was genuinely so freaking impressive.

[@kulaniwarner7262]

Hear! Hear! VERY impressive.

[@AngelaLRsurfinginstilettos]

Rachel, you have every right to be proud of yourself. You are not a professionally trained seamstress, you are self-taught. You are producing lovely pieces. You're open to learning and you're retaining what you've learned whilst building on these skills. Therefore, you should most definitely be proud of your work. Well Done, Rachel! 🙂👏🏼

[@rebekah1111]

My grandmother got that simplicity pattern back in 1998 and made the beaded “you jump I jump (the first time)” dress. I then had a Titanic themed birthday where we recreated the last dinner served (though from the third class because $$). Best birthday ever.

[@thegracklepeck]

That's so fun! ❤

[@TheElicest]

Fun fact: In my theater costuming class, they had a box akin to a science thingy, clear front, holes with gloves attached and a vent to the outside. That’s where we had to mix powered Rit dye. They said it’s because any dying professionals that had autopsies had dyed lungs from breathing in powdered Rit dye 😅

[@piecesofstarlight]

annnnnd now i am very glad that I had the good sense to buy the liquid dyes. Egad

[@moninebrocco4346]

My friend Wynne who used to deal in Antique fabrics taught me if you don't know what your intended fabric is made of burn a swatch. Natural fiber burns, Synthetic fabric melts. You did a beautiful job. So proud of your progress

[@ameliakellogg775]

I was coming to the comments to say this!! This is my favorite trick to use as a professional seamstress!

[@sewthernbelle]

A very good tip…but do we trust Rachel with fire? 🤔😂

[@RoseBaggins]

@@sewthernbelle good question. Also, can we trust fire with her? 😜

[@giuliad223]

A tip by a fashion student: of the natural fibers, linen, cotton, hemp, and other plant-based fibers when burning will smell like a wood fire, while most wools will have a grilled chicken smell. Silk smells like a mixture of the two, with a hint of dirt/insect

[@sunnydoom2726]

Thankfully she was going for pastel colors so even if they are synthetic it should still be fine. I tried to get a dark green on some cotton/polyester coveralls once and ended up with more of an easter green type color.

[@alfredopasta218]

I've heard that a very similar dress to Rose's boarding suit was actually in catalogs for sale in the first few months of 1912, so they were very spot on with creating this costume for the movie. Additionally that many of the Swim Dress were created with variations of where the pink/purple/white were located (what was in the bodice vs in the skirt)

[@bluelagoon1980]

Yep, I've seen the original fashion plate. They were scary accurate. It was I believe February or March 1912, mere weeks before the disaster. The impression I got of the backstory with her brand new wardrobe and all the recently purchased art was that it was an engagement present shopping spree (she may not have had a full grown woman's wardrobe yet, given her age was 16-17 when they met), capped off with the necklace to be presented later.

[@Saskatchetooner]

They probably took the pattern from an extant garment. So that makes sense

[@GremlinThespawn]

I want to go on record that Rachel is the REASON I have tried sewing clothes for myself. I actually successfully managed make a halter skater dress after scouring KZbin for tips and tricks on how someone else did it. BUT watching Rachel gave me the confidence to TRY it. Like wow she can do it and it looks so damn beautiful on her; so why can’t I? So thank you Rachel, for helping me realize I can see two pieces of blanket together into an outfit!

[@FlagCutie]

That is so cool! I'm still too chicken to even try.

[@nohandle508]

​@@FlagCutieWhat is the scariest thing that could happen if it doesn't turn up the way you hope?:-) I think it could help if you took on a smaller project first and used the scraps you already have on hand/thrifted smth not too expensive. You can always reshape the outcome into a lovely pillowcase/over mitten/fabric container or something else, don't feel guilty about wasting fabric, it's ok. ❤

[@Lulph]

Good for you! 😊Welcome in the sewing sisterhood, dude... 🤗

[@Lulph]

@@FlagCutie I can imagine that starting such a new hobby is quite nerve-wrecking... I've been sewing for a while now and I still have difficulties to just cut a fresh, new, beautiful sheet of fabric. But - if you've cut something too large, you can always slim it around; if too little - you piece something together. Stitches can be torn and sown time and time again. Something turned up different than you've anticipated? You learn from it on the inside. On the outside - that was Your Way of Design Interpretation, Bob Ross Style. I wish you all of the happy accidents, dear FlagCutie! 🤗

Jack dying is symbolic of all those who lost their lives that aren't named or known. We know people like Thomas Andrews, Captain Smith, John Jacob Aster, John George Phillips.

We have a permanent Titanic exhibit in the Museum of the Atlantic, in Halifax, NS. They have a huge mural photograph of the staircase, and lots of neat stuff. The one you went to looks like pretty full on sets and re-creations! You did an awesome job, and could easily have filled in for Kate 😉

[@m.maclellan7147]

I was just coming on here to tell Rachel that many of the victims were buried at Farlawn Cemetary in Halifax, November Scotia ! "The Fairview Titanic graves also include the burial place and marker of William Denton Cox, a heroic steward who died while escorting third class passengers to the lifeboats. Six of the previously unknown Titanic victims were identified in 1991 with the help of the Titanic International Society. Newly-inscribed headstones bearing their names were unveiled on September 23, 1991, at ceremonies attended by then-Halifax Mayor Ronald Wallace, Titanic survivor Louise Pope, and more than 50 members of the Society.[6] Twenty-nine other Titanic victims are buried elsewhere in Halifax; nineteen in the Roman Catholic Mount Olivet Cemetery and ten in the Jewish Baron de Hirsch Cemetery." (I lived just out side of Halifax for a few years, LOVE IT ! ) Now, back in the USA, but miss N.S. !

I was JUST watching Oceanliner Designs' most recent video on the _RMS Titanic._ Which was an incredibly detailed look at the breakup of the ship. Your timing is impeccable. I also have a huge fascination with the ship. Honestly, I find everything about it so intriguing and always felt so bad for her builder Thomas Andrews. "She's made of iron sir, i assure you she can. And she will." Always hits hard. He must've had so much guilt for something that wasn't even his fault.

Pssst! Tip:. Most patterns have a line that runs horizontal across the (pattern piece) (body) that marks where you may shorten or lengthen the pattern piece. You would cut the pattern in half there and insert paper of the desired lenght thereby making the pattern piece however long you want it.

What I love about the chiffon dress is the softer floaty freer aspect of it after the series of very uptight darker cinched in pieces... especially the dinner dress with its dark diagonal layers which to my eyes resembles a dark jewelly chrysalis...from which - and with Jack - Rose emerges like a butterfly.

As someone who watched the titanic movie everyday as a kid and is still incredibly fascinated by the boat and the film 20 years later, this video means so much to me. You did amazing Rachel, and I admire all of the hard work you put in to making costumes

[@DearKassandra]

I have to agree that the Titanic museum is amazing experience. We went last year and it was fun for all the age groups we had. Your cosplays came out amazing. The people there was have loved seeing you film in them. I know we would have.

[@naomi8072]

Wow! All your projects are incredible, but your reveal here is just breathtakingly beautiful!🤌❤

[@lynneelizabeth]

This is a small thing, but I really appreciate when you mention that some of this is less fun (like cutting out patterns, ugh). It's nice to be reminded that creators who make amazing things also don't love every moment of the process.

Hope y’all enjoyed your stay in our kitschy but adorable little Smoky Mountain gem! Dolly Parton basically built Pigeon Forge and we love her!

[@vessagroker98]

I needed that Video so badly, I'm very I'll and my husband too, we will be alone at christmas and thats sad, but I get happy with every Video of you! ❤

[@rueoliver]

Haven’t watch it yet, notification just popped up, but TWO DRESSES?!?! GO RACHEL!❤️❤️❤️

[@gates92]

The best reveal of all time! Both dresses are jaw dropping stunning.

[@Christina_Paz]

This has got to be one of my favorite videos. You KILLED IT on that striped dress! Been obsessed with it since the first time I saw it! So proud of you for taking on the task!

[@maryappold1023]

The pride & joy you expressed after you attached the collar ...🎉 🎉🎉The upside down & backwards mental gymnastics required for cutting out & attaching collars takes more focus (for me at least) than seems would be necessary.

[@biteofdog]

It's both amazing and insane that you made two dresses in one week! The stripped one is my favorite, but also the most complex. I'm so impressed with your projects and all the creativity you put into them. I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas. Also, for anybody who is reading my comment, much love to you and if you are going through a hard time, know that you are amazing and the world is better with you around!

I, too, have been into the titanic story since i was a kid. the swim dress reveal literally brought me to tears. EXCELLENT job!

[@bookdragon7546]

I've literally never heard anyone else mention that they have submechanophobia too, and I've had it all my life! I remember being little and watching the shark scene in Finding Nemo, with the sunken submarine, and it terrified me. It's great to find out I'm not alone!

[@faeriesmak]

I have that too. Things underwater just…no no. No thank you.

[@historical.isolde7918]

You really do baffle me, Rachel! You have this wonderful studio in your barn, fit our for all your crafting needs, but you still work in the house, sitting at a coffee table with your machine rather than at a table where you don't need to hunch over.

[@zucchinigreen]

Not my inner 15 year old sobbing at this transformation. You DID THAT! 🫡

[@LadyAlmariel]

You are so brave Rachel !! I love the costumes in Titanic and they are also on my cosplay list, but I have never had the courage (so far) to actually start making any of the dresses. And not only did you dive into the project with a ton of courage, you also succeeded like a pro ! Well done !! 👍👌💖🚢

[@kristinab8326]

You are so talented and inspiring 💜 I’ll never let go, Mak, I’ll never let go.

[@veganvintagegeek2.089]

Rachel I totally agree with you on cutting out patterns, it is paralyzing when it comes to cutting them out. Even though I took sewing in high school in the early 1990s I for the life of me cannot sew from a pattern to fit my size it always comes out to small. And I adore watching sewing videos. The only item of clothing I've ever sewed was not from a pattern it was a straight pull-on skirt with rubber in the waist. Which is super easy for anyone to make, and I hand sewed the skirt. Even though I know how to use a sewing machine I can never get the stiches to line up on a sewing machine, it's interesting when I hand sew everything lines up. I'd sew more if only I did not get intimidated, by sewing patterns and a sewing machine. Oh, my! I am weeping, when you made your entrance down the stairs, tremendous job Rachael!

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

I'm also a little obsessed with the Titanic (history, movie, museum) and you did an INCREDIBLE job especially in a week's time! Tell me why I teared up a little during the transition between costume reveals 😅I kind of wanted to see you perform some of her lines but I'll settle for the awesome footage your sister shot! My favorite Rose costume is the red/black beaded dress from the dinner scene with Jack. That one might have made you insane 😂

[@vicaubrey680]

Well done, they look beautiful!! I’m a professional costume maker and I was *incredibly* proud of you foray into mock-ups. I also just went to the Titanic museum in Belfast in the shipyard where it was built and I think you’d love it ❤️ congratulations xx

[@JK-vl9wd]

That shot of you running through the hall in slow motion was incredible. You truly looked like Rose in the movie. You did such an amazing job with both of those dresses ♥️

[@scottydog6539]

Love the suit. It is gorgeous. The “Swim” dress is beautiful. Wow. Such talent.
