I am so impressed with this video and with your accomplishments. Your message about taking a fist step, then a second and to keep going and to keep learning from experience is really inspirational. I'm old enough to be one of your grandparents and I've learned and been inspired by you! You never talk about "talent" but rather about learning and practice and I so admire that. I don't really believe there is such a thing as "talent" but there is such a thing as putting in the work, learning from one's mistakes and from one's successes. What a wonderful message for those who think that some people have "talent" to do things and others don't . While I don't doubt you have talent, at the end of the day, talent means nothing. Putting in the work means everything, and you demonstrate again and again what can happen when a person puts in the work. The dress, while a thing of beauty, is not the real accomplishment here. The skill you've achieved is the real accomplishment. The person you turned yourself into by working toward your achievement is the accomplishment. What a wonderful example of how to live this life. I have every reason to think your daughters will learn this lesson from you, and if they do, what a wonderful legacy that will be.
Girl ❤️ you had me in tears; I'm so proud of you. I'm also so thankful that you share both your talents, passions and raw experiences with us. I've taken on new sewing projects that I would have previously avoided because I've been so inspired watching you and other sewists on TH-cam. Your style of teaching is so calming and makes me confident that I can probably do anything; thank you for giving me that gift!!!
I'm sitting here in tears as I type because I relate so closely to everything that you've said. How amazing and so incredibly talented and inspiring you are to me right now in this moment. Thank you so much for sharing and just being. Lots of LOVE!
I have no words. I watched all 6 videos and I kept thinking: wow, I'll never be able to do this, I would mess up at every step, oh wow how does she do it.. and then I come to this, where you're talking directly to my soul. Thank you.
I cried through this whole video. You touched my heart. I'm pursuing my dream of learning couture sewing and my dream is to have a family gathering where everyone in the family is wearing a couture outfit made by me. This whole series you've made is incredible. My family has believed in me and encouraged my sewing, too. It's been such a blessing that I'm so grateful for. I'm so proud when I make something that is gorgeous inside and out. I can't wait to see you make more couture dresses. This one is a work of art!!
"I put in the time, the effort and acquired the knowledge." And you didn't just create a beautiful dress. You created yourself as a person with that capability. A life lesson if ever there was one.
This is the best thing I've seen in a while. It's so inspiring to know that we're not alone in our fears and self-doubts when it comes to our creativity - I think we all feel, at some point, like maybe we're not worth the fancy fabric. Love knowing how lucky you are to be surrounded by people who support you. Keep making great videos and being real - we'll be here to root you on too!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It's true that we can easily avoid making a big leap just because we are afraid and not because we lack the skills. Having a supportive team can really be a huge help in moving forward.
I think by now you definitely know how talented you truly are! Paige you inspire me, what a perfect dress! Thanks for taking us along with you, I am a bit teary eye watching as well.
That was such a beautiful ending to this series. The investment in yourself coupled with what you learned and shared was heartwarming. I don’t know you but I feel so proud for you. Thank you for sharing.
It's not just a silly dress! It's your expression, it's your art, it's your skill, tenacity and your love. Plus, you thought us, made us smile and happy. Please keep up. 🤗
Thank you so much for being kind and generous enough to share all of this. I'm an older sewer, I make clothes for my wife (and myself). She said recently in an emotional way how much she loves that I make her things. I was so touched. As I watched this project unfold I've learned so much from you young lady. I think you're totally right to be proud of yourself - I'm guessing your husband and family are very proud too. I'm responding because of your heartfelt video at the end. I too have never been taught 'properly', only my lovely wife teaching and encouraging me and then all of the fantastic folk on TH-cam generously sharing like you have. Very best wishes and greetings from North Wales UK.
Thank you for your kind message. I am glad to have shared my experience with this project and I hope it is both inspirational and useful. It is very special that you sew for your wife.
You are so amazing! Beautiful dress, and you are SO right about being a learner. I'm a self-taught sewer as well, and I completely had similar feelings when I made my first dress. You are so, so so worth it! Can't wait to see where we both are this time next year!
Oh my goodness, what a thing of beauty! Those inner workings are gorgeous too. I hope your great-great granddaughters will have both the dress and these videos! I think some couture books will be on my Xmas list.
Proud you should be. The dress is fabulously stunning. I loved this sewing series. You've inspired me to pull out my book on couture sewing techniques, which has been collecting dust for years, and learn to incorporate these techniques into my modest and early sewing adventure (and I'm an old lady of 61!, but that won't stop me from taking on a new adventure). I'm sure you felt like a queen on your birthday/anniversary celebratory dinner. Congratulations.
That is such a sweet video, and so honest. I’ve watched all the other videos in quick succession, and you seem so accomplished and thorough, and then you make THIS video, which is how most of us feel, most of the time - unsure, amazed when things work out, proud of ourselves despite not really being very confident. A lovely dress, a great process, and fascinating. You have such a great, calm presenting style. I watched because I want to know how to line a dress, and you have given me the confidence to try.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the series. Everyone experiences these emotions and it happens over and over. That's how we know we are growing and moving forward. You definitely can do it!
Dear Paige!I'm just a beginner but thanks to you I am close to finish a half circle skirt with no experience and a very basic machine! I really really love your videos, you explain everything so detailed and it's just great to watch and sew. you are a true inspiration for me and I thank you for that. The dress is amazing, I will do try it when i will feel more confident in my sewing skills. please keep on uploding videos, you are great!
You look gorgeous. Thank you so much for the finishing techniques especially. I learned so much that I will be using in all of my future coutute dresses for my very expensive fashion dolls. I might even make something for myself. You are amazing.
This video brought me to tears. You spoke to me thru your experience. I am now in the research process of learning how to make a couture type dress. A friend of mine asked me to make her mother of the groom dress for her son's wedding. At first I was skeptical, and scared. So nervous that she would ask me to create such a meaning ful dress as a mother of the groom gown. But your video inspired me so much. I think I now have the courage to actually do this!! I watched all 6 episodes of your process, and learned alot. Thank you for sharing this. You are an awesome seamstress and such a sweet person.
The dress is perfect. You are so sweet and your husband is the best. You need to belive in yourself because you're talented. I'm italian and I love whatch your videos. Happy new year!
You look absolutely gorgeous in it. You have inspired me to attempt making my own. Wonderful video, thank you. Your husband must feel so proud of you, and lucky to be married to such a beautiful, intelligent, accomplished woman.
You are so very talented and this dress is perfection. The patience it took to painstakingly construct this masterpiece has amazed me. And the fact that you taught yourself how to do all this confirms everything I just said. You deserve it. You did it. Thank you for sharing this with us. I learned so much. Hope you had a wonderful night with your husband. And hope you make more beautiful dresses in the future.
WOW, this series was amazing! Your approach to teaching and explaining made this a joy to watch. Your dress is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your talent!!
😪 well done Paige! As you rightly said “It’s not about the dress”. Determination truly pays off, and we grow through our experiences. I’ve been sewing for decades, but stopped for the last few years due to ill health, but mainly discouragement (namely making beautiful clothes that don’t fit perfectly 😖). So determined not to let this defeat me, I’ve bought the book “Fit for real People”, and am going through that whilst being inspired by TH-cam videos like yours 🤗, and I have no doubt that soon I will not only love everything I make, but it’s gonna fit like a glove. 😊 Thanks for helping me to see that it CAN be done. 😉
This is amazing!! Such an inspiration!! I dream of sewing a dress like that everyday! I just ordered the Couture Techniques book. This video and your message is just so inspiring to me! I just found your channel!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!
You and your dress are beautiful! Congratulations on creating a gorgeous garment, especially one that makes you feel amazing and proud! What a gift you have, thank you for sharing!
Hi Paige, I’ve just started learning to sew and stumbled upon your channel. Couldn’t stop watching this couture dress series! Your ending reaction video was so heartwarming. I’m grateful that I’ve decided to take a chance on myself and learn something new I never imagined I’d have the courage to try! Thank you for sharing so generously with us.
I am watching this the end of 2020, I looked at all the vids, it was amazing how exact you explained everything, you are very creative and beautifull girl, your mom must be so proud of you, the dress is a dream. Happy birthday for 2020 and thank you for being such a wonderfull teacher, be blessed.
I absolutely loved this series and learned so much! I was actually just reading Couture Sewing Techniques and stumbled upon your videos. You had me in tears at the end there. I wholeheartedly agree with you on always learning and improving and creating from the heart. I hope this beautiful dress will see many wonderful events!
What a real moment that we have all felt. We then make a choice to give up OR push thru the insecurity, discomfort and uncertainty. That's a lot of emotion to overcome... when we do it brings what you show in this video. Pride in something we have done. Pride might not even be the right word. This emotion is beyond being proud of something. Thank you for such a raw video. I was crying right along with you. The dress is beautiful just like you and it fits like it was made for you :) hehe. Keep pushing yourself! We are inspired in those little things.
I just watches your video for start to finish on how to make this beautiful dress. I do not know how you hand stitch this beautiful cocktail dress, doing the fitting and everything without using the sewing machine. Well done.
Girl! Even I was emotional after seeing all the process! ❤️ I needed to see and hear all of this. Thank you! You've inspired me so much, you cannot imagine! 😭❤️
Wow! Your 2nd video is so wonderful (I haven't seen any of the videos in this series yet). This could be an inspirational message for anyone and anything because you shared your experience and feelings so honestly. And, I love the emphasis on gratitude .I've had the same fantasy of wearing and making a couture dress - maybe I'll do it! Thank you for sharing this, Paige.
It looks beautiful! The length came out perfect too… I think it was a fortunate turn of chance. Good for you and thanks! I am learning so much.. awesome!
Hi Paige. I recently came across your couture series and you’ve created a gorgeous gown. I’ve enjoyed learning new techniques. I was extremely happy to hear that you are proud of yourself as I think sometimes we overlook giving credit to ourselves. I am also incredibly grateful for the people in my life and am working on believing in myself a little more. Your raw video had quite an impact, I was in tears too. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do :)
Congrats Paige for such a beautiful dress, you look amazing ! I'm glad that your husband is a good man and support you always, it's a blessing ! You are so sweet, wishing you all the best.
I started watching ur first video and watched all of six together at once, girl ur extremely talented, the way u talk shows how beautiful ur soul is, liked every single video of urs and couldn't stopped my self from subscribing, ur an inspiration for all those people who want to do something but just don't believe in themselves, It seems like ur blessed with a very supportive family, May God bless u and ur family, the dress is exceptionally beautiful, keep smiling.
I am a 60yr old fella from the UK... I have sewn for some years, sewing is my absolute passion. I have watched HUNDREDS of videos, but after watching yours on the making of your BEAUTIFUL dress, I have never felt so inspired, by another human being, the way you have inspired me. I just wanted you to know how far across the pond, you have reached! Thank you for taking the time in your life to give this inspiration and simply, joy, to another human being! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart... Please stay safe, Richard xx
@@PaigeHandmade thank you for replying. I'm making a 1950s style dress in a D&G print Italian cotton. I'll be posting a video of it soon. If you're interested, my channel is called "Wackiwear" Happy sewing!
I'm in tears , this is so inspiring and I'm disappointed w myself cus why am I seeing this just now. Watched these 6 videos in one sitting and girl you just inspire me to make my own couture dress. Btw I'm just 20 and I'm excited and i luv u! Tysm for this.
You are so beautiful and this dress although very challenging but you succeeded with flying colours. But more than that you have taught us the real secrets of couture dress making like a great teacher. Thank you ❤️👍
You’re so inspiring and I now want to learn to sew like you. So much thought, care and love put into a dress! Reminds me of my mum and I wish I had taken lessons with her. Congrats on a wonderful creation! Following you ..xx
I was searching for videos to make a muslin and found this series.. AMAZING!! I watched the whole series in one sitting and I loved your tips and your dress is gorgeous! The finale video was the BEST.. bravo!
WOW! I'm sure that dress could easily go for 2k plus in the shops! Thank you so very much for giving us couture realness. All of that hand sewing and lovely couture touches. I will embark on a similar endeavor using your process at some point!
wow, i loved the video you shared, really resonated with me. Art really is something so beautiful and you were spot on about being your own student! and such a beautiful dress!!!
The most wholesome and underrated clip and channel of all TH-cam sewing tutorials. My heart is singing for you! Happy birthday either 4 months early or 8 months late. 🤗
That dress looks so comfortable to wear. You’ve made something that would’ve cost so much more to have it made for you. I’m not familiar with couture costs for a bespoke garment; but the labor costs alone would have been daunting. Your husband must have loved that you made something so lovely with that fabric.
Paige, I just found you, and this series had been a tremendous education for me and also incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much, and although late, I hope you had a lovely birthday/anniversary celebration.
A little bit from everywhere. Susan Khalje's course walked through couture techniques with so much detail. This video th-cam.com/video/Owj2bHcYERE/w-d-xo.html explains a bit about my journey of learning how to sew.
I'm so glad I came across your videos,you've inspired me so much I feel like I can do anything right now...such a genuine,heartfelt raw emotional message,thank you very much,you look so beautiful in your perfect dress...you're very gifted dear❤ from South Africa
i totally understand you. sewing is so emotional. it's time consuming and expensive. i haven't worked with silk because it's very expensive and i don't want to waste money by using it when i know my sewing can improve more and be more professional. i have pricey fabric in my collection untouched because i'm just so scared of ruining them. but at the same time it makes me sad not using them. honestly i think the best way of sewing is by hand (couture) because it's more precise than machine sewing. :)))) i'm so happy for you. :)

Thank you for such a kind comment! I do believe sewing is a collection of practiced skills rather than a talent.

Your emotional video is so touching
It’s not just a silly dress - it’s your 60 hours, knowledge and faith
It’s beautiful- Keep at it 💕💕💕

$200 dress that looks like a million bucks! And you look stunning, I hope your birthday dinner went well!
Thank you!
I think by now you definitely know how talented you truly are! Paige you inspire me, what a perfect dress! Thanks for taking us along with you, I am a bit teary eye watching as well.
It was a great experience to go out of my comfort zone. Thank you for such a sweet comment!
That was such a beautiful ending to this series. The investment in yourself coupled with what you learned and shared was heartwarming. I don’t know you but I feel so proud for you. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Bless your heart. You and the dress are both beautiful. You are an inspiration. Never stop learning and sharing.
It's not just a silly dress! It's your expression, it's your art, it's your skill, tenacity and your love. Plus, you thought us, made us smile and happy. Please keep up. 🤗
Great job. Not only making the dress but as a tutorial . You have every right cry and feel pride. Enjoy. You deserve it.
It's a work of art and priceless. CONGRATULATIONS !
You are such a doll! ❤️The dress is perfection!!!
Omg congratulations on your birthday/anniversary. Im soo encouraged by this and YES you are worth $60 a yd fabric. Love your video
This IS Beautiful! You and the dress. You have encouraged me to keep sewing! Thank you and Happy New Year!

Phenomenal workmanship. A pleasure to watch this series.

Wow, how amazing. You have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone! Thank you so much.
This was beautiful, Paige. Very inspiring 👏🏾 😊!
It's beautiful I have been seeing a long time never saw this file of sewing great job
I am so encouraged, this is so inspiring!! I am so proud of you!!!
Thank you! ❤️
I absolutely loved this series and learned so much! I was actually just reading Couture Sewing Techniques and stumbled upon your videos. You had me in tears at the end there. I wholeheartedly agree with you on always learning and improving and creating from the heart. I hope this beautiful dress will see many wonderful events!
Thank you!
What a real moment that we have all felt. We then make a choice to give up OR push thru the insecurity, discomfort and uncertainty. That's a lot of emotion to overcome... when we do it brings what you show in this video. Pride in something we have done. Pride might not even be the right word. This emotion is beyond being proud of something. Thank you for such a raw video. I was crying right along with you. The dress is beautiful just like you and it fits like it was made for you :) hehe. Keep pushing yourself! We are inspired in those little things.
I just watches your video for start to finish on how to make this beautiful dress. I do not know how you hand stitch this beautiful cocktail dress, doing the fitting and everything without using the sewing machine. Well done.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I am so Happy for you . Confidence rewards you! GOD BLESS You and your family, I love your Couture Dress
It is so beautiful, love it! Love the shoes also. My best to you Paige
Girl! Even I was emotional after seeing all the process! ❤️ I needed to see and hear all of this. Thank you! You've inspired me so much, you cannot imagine! 😭❤️
Thank you! You've got so much potential and you can get your big goals too!
such an excellent tutorial and beautiful dress!!!
Wow! Your 2nd video is so wonderful (I haven't seen any of the videos in this series yet). This could be an inspirational message for anyone and anything because you shared your experience and feelings so honestly. And, I love the emphasis on gratitude .I've had the same fantasy of wearing and making a couture dress - maybe I'll do it! Thank you for sharing this, Paige.
You're welcome! Thank you for your sweet comment.
Wow you are amazing. You have given me so much confidence to learn sewing, and taking pride in each step.thank you
You're welcome! You can do it!
It looks beautiful! The length came out perfect too… I think it was a fortunate turn of chance. Good for you and thanks! I am learning so much.. awesome!
Hi Paige. I recently came across your couture series and you’ve created a gorgeous gown. I’ve enjoyed learning new techniques. I was extremely happy to hear that you are proud of yourself as I think sometimes we overlook giving credit to ourselves. I am also incredibly grateful for the people in my life and am working on believing in myself a little more. Your raw video had quite an impact, I was in tears too. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do :)
Thank you for your kind note. I'm glad the series was helpful.
Congrats Paige for such a beautiful dress, you look amazing ! I'm glad that your husband is a good man and support you always, it's a blessing ! You are so sweet, wishing you all the best.
I started watching ur first video and watched all of six together at once, girl ur extremely talented, the way u talk shows how beautiful ur soul is, liked every single video of urs and couldn't stopped my self from subscribing, ur an inspiration for all those people who want to do something but just don't believe in themselves, It seems like ur blessed with a very supportive family, May God bless u and ur family, the dress is exceptionally beautiful, keep smiling.
Thank you so much! 💕
I am so grateful I found your channel.
I am a 60yr old fella from the UK... I have sewn for some years, sewing is my absolute passion. I have watched HUNDREDS of videos, but after watching yours on the making of your BEAUTIFUL dress, I have never felt so inspired, by another human being, the way you have inspired me. I just wanted you to know how far across the pond, you have reached! Thank you for taking the time in your life to give this inspiration and simply, joy, to another human being! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart... Please stay safe, Richard xx
Thank you for such a thoughtful note. You're welcome! And I hope you make something very special too.
@@PaigeHandmade thank you for replying. I'm making a 1950s style dress in a D&G print Italian cotton. I'll be posting a video of it soon. If you're interested, my channel is called "Wackiwear"
Happy sewing!
To die for!!! Bravo!
I'm in tears , this is so inspiring and I'm disappointed w myself cus why am I seeing this just now. Watched these 6 videos in one sitting and girl you just inspire me to make my own couture dress. Btw I'm just 20 and I'm excited and i luv u! Tysm for this.
This is a very inspiring ending. Thank you so much, I need this video!
You are so beautiful and this dress although very challenging but you succeeded with flying colours.
But more than that you have taught us the real secrets of couture dress making like a great teacher.
Thank you ❤️👍
You’re so inspiring and I now want to learn to sew like you. So much thought, care and love put into a dress! Reminds me of my mum and I wish I had taken lessons with her. Congrats on a wonderful creation! Following you ..xx
Thank you! Start where you are and build up your sewing skills. You can do it.
Excellent work!
You inspired me to make beautiful work . Thanks !
I was searching for videos to make a muslin and found this series.. AMAZING!! I watched the whole series in one sitting and I loved your tips and your dress is gorgeous! The finale video was the BEST.. bravo!
Thank you!
WOW! I'm sure that dress could easily go for 2k plus in the shops! Thank you so very much for giving us couture realness. All of that hand sewing and lovely couture touches. I will embark on a similar endeavor using your process at some point!
Thank you! You can do it!
Beautiful result 🙂
Great job! Your dress is gorgeous!
The crying part teared me up! It's not silly! You should be so proud
wow, i loved the video you shared, really resonated with me. Art really is something so beautiful and you were spot on about being your own student! and such a beautiful dress!!!
Thank you!
You are so awesome! I’m so happy to have found you!
The most wholesome and underrated clip and channel of all TH-cam sewing tutorials. My heart is singing for you! Happy birthday either 4 months early or 8 months late. 🤗
good job girl!👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for sharing. This got me emotional too and is an inspiration. Keep doing what you do x
That dress looks so comfortable to wear. You’ve made something that would’ve cost so much more to have it made for you. I’m not familiar with couture costs for a bespoke garment; but the labor costs alone would have been daunting. Your husband must have loved that you made something so lovely with that fabric.
You are amazing omg I’m so proud of you
It's simply amazing! ❤ definitely I will try to make for me! So "simple" and elegant!
This was so beautiful!! Your dress is amazing! Thank you for inspiring me
Thank you! 💕
Beautiful! So beautiful!
You are amazing... you are a great student and a great teacher. Keep going ♡
Thanks!
Paige, I just found you, and this series had been a tremendous education for me and also incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much, and although late, I hope you had a lovely birthday/anniversary celebration.
Thank you!
I cried with you, your message is so inspiring. I'm gonna go make myself a prom dress now!
This is amazing!! I'm curious to learn where you picked up all these little techniques!
A little bit from everywhere. Susan Khalje's course walked through couture techniques with so much detail. This video th-cam.com/video/Owj2bHcYERE/w-d-xo.html explains a bit about my journey of learning how to sew.
I'm so glad I came across your videos,you've inspired me so much I feel like I can do anything right now...such a genuine,heartfelt raw emotional message,thank you very much,you look so beautiful in your perfect dress...you're very gifted dear❤ from South Africa
You can do what you set your mind to. 💕
MARAVILHOSA.......ESPETACULAR............INCRÍVEL........
So inspiring girl! Also happy belated! (I am assuming from date posted you have a Dec birthday).
It’s so beautiful! Congratulations!!!! I want to do that some day! Very inspiring!
I love the final reveal! What a stunning dress. Could you add this to the DIY COUTURE DRESS playlist? Right now only episodes 1-5 are in the playlist.
Absolutely! Thank you for pointing that out. It is fixed.
Beautiful work!
i totally understand you. sewing is so emotional. it's time consuming and expensive. i haven't worked with silk because it's very expensive and i don't want to waste money by using it when i know my sewing can improve more and be more professional. i have pricey fabric in my collection untouched because i'm just so scared of ruining them. but at the same time it makes me sad not using them. honestly i think the best way of sewing is by hand (couture) because it's more precise than machine sewing. :)))) i'm so happy for you. :)
Don't wait too long to try sewing with nice fabrics. Do make a muslin first, but go for it!
Aww you deserve all of it , it's your work ♥️
