Part 1: Making the Pretty Woman Opera Dress

[@PermaPen]

Definitely the best way for you to learn (and rather useful for us too) ! Impressed with your determination....

[@debbieblake1919]

I love the way you just get stuck in and are prepared to get it wrong. Such bravery! Can't wait until part 2. Good luck

Just Fantastic is all I can say You became my sewing hero with the Marilyn dress and now I can't wait for your videos - you truly are an inspiration to a newish sewer who has so far only made 4 dresses 2 skirts and 3 tops Thankyou

[@StitchMyStyle]

Karen - what a delight - thank you. 4 dresses, 2 skirts and 3 tops sounds like almost a full wardrobe to me! So glad you are inspired by these videos, that is precisely the intention - and I encourage you to try new things - ignore that you may think you are a beginner - you probably know skills that will get you a long way so be daring!

[@annalamb8135]

I am really looking forward to the finished gown, crikey you do set the bar high challenging yourself. Thank you for sharing. XX

[@Maggiewaggiemoo12]

You are such a clever sausage. The finished dress is terrific and you look beautiful a worthy 'best dress' winner x

Good luck with this one!!! This is still my most favourite film!!!! Looking forward to stage 2! X

[@SewNaturalDane]

wow, what an amazing job you've done!!! Loving that you're taking us through the process.

[@rosellachen8001]

This is amazing. I love how you explain the whole process cuz i literally spent all the time thinking how the dress fitted on her in the movie... Like it seemed to be not completely wrapping her up but it also wasn't falling off. You totally nailed it!

[@penneyburgess5431]

This is exciting! Pretty Women is one of my favorites.

[@1SewSweet]

You have a wonderful start and I can't wait to see the final dress. I know it's going to be absolutely stunning on you! Good luck!

[@triciakotuku554]

it is a fabulous dress, so good luck.

[@junegarford5144]

Hats off to you for having a stab at this..very brave. Looking forward to the next instalment...

[@frankiecarson5355]

your videos are so great I love seeing your process x

[@michelemohamed3584]

Ammaaazzing. And what fun!!!

[@Duellingdesigns]

It is great to see the process you go through to make each garment. I'm looking forward to your video of the final reveal.

I just found your channel and oh my god, recreating those iconic dresses is something I always wanted to do! I am definitely going to try doing this as soon as I can. I'm kinda getting bored with sewing stuff that's not challenging, you know? Anyway, thanks for the videos! I loved watching them!

[@danion1588]

You've just inspired my wedding dress.

[@StitchMyStyle]

Oh wowsers - that would be amazing!

[@AdirondackRuby]

I've never seen the film, but it's definitely one of those films that everyone feels like they have because quotes & clips from it just sort of permeates pop culture. I find I have that problem with books. "Did I actually read that?...or did I just see an adaptation of it somewhere?" But anyways! I'm really loving this series, watching you learn all these new techniques & troubleshooting. It's entertaining and educational...and also definitely inspirational to a new sewist like myself. It reminds me that slow is not bad. If it takes me a month to make a skirt, then so be it. Better to take a month and end up with the best damn skirt ever than to rush myself through so I have something to wear...that I will never actually wear because it was so rushed and botched and horrid!

[@StitchMyStyle]

Abso-bloody-lutely never be tempted to think that you should be doing something faster just because other people are - slow is king. Enjoy the process and you will make something beautiful. Fact. Thanks so much for your lovely comment

[@Aplaceformermaids]

Exciting to see!! :)

[@juliadroy1179]

You are so brave to take on such a project. Are you doing a college course or is it just a challenge for you.

[@StitchMyStyle]

It's just a challenge for me - I'm pretty much self taught and wanted to make fewer, but more challenging items so this is part of that effort! Thanks very much for your kind words :)

[@juliadroy1179]

You're so right I'd rather make things that are more challenging than just rush garments out one after another.

[@Tracks777]

Nice! Keep it up!

[@cutiedoggy475]

DREAM DRESS

[@JulaJulaify]

Nice!

[@Sharptooth100]

How about doing that same dress in pink and dark blue?

[@charliesoutherton4249]

i know this is not celebrity based tho you could probably class it as a celebrity bast project but how about a dior jacket or dress like in the film Evita
