Brilliant idea, using the bits of paper to demonstrate. I really appreciate how you take the time & effort to make everything crystal clear in your tutorials. And of course, the Feline Overlord content was a bonus!
its sooooooo satisfying hearing you rip that fabric!!!!, I adore this dress so much it has to be one of my favourite styles ever on you, just need mine to fit me now
Looking forward to this. I do my floofy petticoats as either 1/2/6 or 1/3/9 panels :) (the 1:3 ratio means you can just pleat 1" all round as you go without too much drastic measuring). Also do lapped seams on the selvedges! (But it's a petticoat...). I use the nice quality cotton from Dalston Mills.
Hi Siân!! Awesome tutorial as always.. Amazing use of paper stock as a demonstration for fabric.. Tiers are amazing & dress looks fabulous on you…. 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Very clear as always. I learned to, as you called it, break up the gathering stitching in even smaller portions. It makes it easier to distribute the gathers evenly. Have not done any gathering since my return to sewing. But this dress … that skirt … it’s can’t be long any more 😉 Need to order some fabric … indeed #sianmademedoit 😉😽💕
You referred to the width of your fabric. Does it not matter how wide your fabric is? I m presuming the wider the fabric the fuller the skirt? How wide is the fabric you used? Lovely dress.
Indeed! The wider the fabric the fuller the skirt. I like a very full skirt (As you can see 🤣) it's why I mentioned that some people like to do double their waist measurement and then double that for the next tier. It really depends on your preference, for me there was less measuring and more floof with this method 😊. I've used quilting cotton so 45" wide, cotton lawn 50" wide and viscose 60" wide.
I really needed to see attaching the gathered skirt to the bodice...rather than just verbal...could you do that for me? Ty...btw I love your tiered skirt Method.
A really helpful and informative video. Thank you. Rather than attaching this skirt to a bodice, I want to leave it as a skirt and attach it to an elasticated waist band. What depth would you recommend for the waistband?
Lol I love the hashtag 😂 it’s true, just ordered shelving with cubby holes so I can see and touch my stash 😎 totally holding you responsible. sorry , not sorry 😆 What a great explanation for making a tiered skirt. I saw you enjoyed Bianca’s year’s makes video too. Are you ever tempted to make a historical costume? I’ve been watching the Cook of Castamar and am sorely tempted.

Thank you, the paper was a clever concise way of showing what to do. Enjoy your holiday! Missing the Waffles, but a lady deserves a rest. :D
I have done this with a quilting cotton and I find it can work better to overlock the edges rather than French seam them
Never
Tears of fabric cause no tears from the eyes consummate instruction makes the sewing glide by
what?? I'm not sure what you're trying to say but I would like to know what you mean if you don't mind me asking? :)
Brilliant idea using the strips of card … makes it so much easier to understand, thank you so so much
💚🖤 I love a tiered skirt and you are the first to say just use the width of the fabric which makes so much more sense than measuring. TY

I love this dress. It would look terrible on me but I love it on you. This tutorial is very good.
This is one of my very favourite dresses. It looks amazing on you and the colour is beautiful ❤️❤️
Great way of showing this method of gathering.
Thank you for clearly showing and explaining this project!
I have been patiently waiting for this tutorial since I saw that lovely full skirt! Thank you for your very clear process!
Love the way your dress turned out and the method of construction. The Chi content was also very cute! 🎠

Thank you for yet another great tutorial! I already know a project for which I’ll come back to this - hopefully soon. ❤️

Beautiful work, I will do this for my next one... merci ma belle! Christine 🦊🇨🇦🦊
😻😻😻 still love this dress!!! Just try and find something similar 😽😽😽
This dress is gorgeous (helped by your amazing figure, of course - I dream of having a figure like yours!).

Method.
Next time I make one :)
A really helpful and informative video. Thank you. Rather than attaching this skirt to a bodice, I want to leave it as a skirt and attach it to an elasticated waist band. What depth would you recommend for the waistband?
I personally like mine to be about an inch or an inch and a quarter 😊
@@KittenishBehaviourSian Thank you.
What type of rayon/ viscose can you hand rip? Challis ? Twill? Etc. we have so many types and some have lycra in it.
This is a challis, I'd say experiment (carefully 😉) with an edge and see what works 😊

When you say the width is length of fabric - what is the length of fabric you are using ? ??
I think this one was 140cm wide. 😊
