"I ended up taking apart the whole dress"....I literally broke out in a sweat when you said that! I can't wait to see the finished product! You are brave, my friend, very brave! Congratulations on your marriage!
In creating your own fashions, you get EXACTLY what you want. As far as the reworking goes "repeat steps until you're happy with it" perfection takes time and patience.
I also made my wedding costume 10 years ago. ( in our country we wear saree type costume) It's the greatest feeling ever! have enormous respect for people who make their wedding dresses by themselves. You should be very pround. This dress is beautiful
Thank you! That's so great you were able to make a wedding dress yourself too! It really does make it extra special and I definitely don't regret it. Make the big day really a neat experience too :)
I TOTALLY am with you in doing what i have named the "snitpicky details". A professional seamstress would do the same detailing/finishing steps. I love it when people ask where I've gotten a garment. I tell them i think i can remember where I'd gotten the materials.
Woah, that's something I'd end up doing too. Fingers crossed it turns out the way you've always dreamed! I say go for it. How often does anyone get to make their own wedding dress in their lifetimes? You gotta feel like a princess and get emotional. If you don't feel 'it', keep at it until you do. Can't wait for the reveal. Good luck!
You are such an inspiration! Just can't believe you took it all apart 😳😳😳 I am planning to make my own wedding dress as well once I will make courage to start. Can't wait to see the part 2! 😳
Love this video. Thanks so much for sharing. Even though you ended up taking it apart, this vid is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me make someone’s wedding dress. Thank you! ❤ love from Australia
This might be helpful. When I was working on a petticoat I found if I folded the tulle and pleated instead of gathering it was a lot easier to wrangle. I just cut it in a bunch of pieces maybe 40” by width, and folded and pleated. I did about a million of the then 20” x wof pieces that were then about 8” each and sewed them one after another.
I have been looking for a site just like yours forever. I am not going to make a wedding gown, but I am fascinated about your excellent styling and workmanship.Your channel is just the right amount of showing what was going on but speeding up through the parts that I personally wouldn’t be interested in. Like I said, I am not looking to make a wedding gown, but your work is just so pretty, you must be a professional. Your finished garments turn out just so pretty and stylish. I have visited other sites but one site it seemed to me just showed the washing of the gown or the person presenting the channel would be too shrill for my nerves. So kudos to you. A + I subscribed as well
Thank you! Your words of encouragement are so kind! That’s exactly what I’m going for and I’m always improving too. So glad to have you a part of my TH-cam community!
The dress is so beautiful! 😍 I want to make my own wedding dress someday, so this is super helpful. Also, I really admire your patience and persistence - you put so much time into this!!
With the train, if u look for the regency style patterns from i think either buttericks or mcCalls sewing patterns they have a brilliant train piece that would have given you the shape you wanted, i used it myself it was amazing. Beautiful dress and you are so talented xxxx
Very nice please clear you are not using can can I think its net u used in the bottom of skirt for flare please clear my point how much net u used in bottom skirrt inner side
Yikes!! I've done that when making some wedding dresses also lol I used to put a layer of fine net, that starts at the waist of a layered underskirt. It gives a lovely smooth, finish. 😇❣ Just curious, you didn't put your pattern pieces all the same way, any reason why? My first time watching you, so I'm going to look what else you've made!! much love jacq, uk💞
Good question! No particular reason other than I’m a penny pincher when it comes to fabric. So if it’s made for myself I don’t particularly pay attention to that 🙂 glad you’ve enjoyed watching my videos!
Most people don't have the sewing or design skills required to make a fine quality wedding dress and good natural fiber fabrics cost a fortune. Amateurs end up with trash that looks like something from a high school Home Ec. class. It's best to save up for a beautiful designer wedding dress. They go on huge off-season sales and samples are usually available throughout the year.
I have 45 years of sewing - except with sequin fabric or chiffon. I made my daughter's wedding gown beautifully by prayer, patience, and some diligent research. It coste less than $1000 - and the gowns she was looking at were $20K! I'm glad I tried! ❤️ It can be done! And no, her gown did not look home made!
I'm really feeling the expensive fabric part. I saw some beautiful bamboo on Etsy, but it's not cheap! That being said, it's still less than half the cost of buying something similar that would still need tailoring and customizing. But I've been sewing for over 10 years now without patterns, so I have a good idea of what I want, which is something you just can't buy. I have some lace that my grandmother had used to sew a wedding dress for a relative, so I plan to use that over some kind of plant fibre. Polyester is too sweaty and hard to sew with. I made a satin graduation dress for high school, and it was a challenge. My aunt helped me a lot with pressing and showing me french seams which is a lifesaver when working with chiffon or organza. Now I have a serger, so that should help a lot, plus I have lots of friends and relatives who sew that I can ask for help if I need it.

I broke out in a sweat myself when I took it apart! So glad I got through it though. All worth it. :)

Thanks so much! Thankfully I was really pleased with the outcome. Super excited to release the second one soon!
Very well done…I have worked in a formal dress shop for 20 years, have also done alterations… you have done an excellent job.. enjoyed watching
Thank you! That is a real compliment coming from you!

Thank you!

Really great work thx mam
Thank you. Greetings to you from Morocco
To be honest I actually want to make my wedding dress probably save it til my wedding day or if I find something different in a bridal shop.
Very pretty.
This takes a huge amount of patience. Back in the old days our mothers would starch our crinolines to get a full skirt.
What kind of fabric u use to make a great dress??
I’m struggling to see my bodice to my skirt can you help 😩
how to do the same?))
Como fazer o drapeado de gola e manga seguida
I might be black wedding dress some day of gold wedding dress
😍😍😍😍
Selam yazlık etek modelleride istiyorum🤗
True!
Pressing is the required finale!
🌹🌷🌷🌹
Omg, who told you you look extra fat?? 😶 Wow! You're not fat at all!
I look forward to seeing your completed gown!
It truly did make me look like I had extra pounds on, but thankfully it turned out really well eventually.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
That sounds about right!
