Thanks so much to Christine @Sewstine for her help in the final stages of assembly AND for making my engeagants AND for letting me shop her stash for this fabric. Thanks to Abby @AbbyCox for letting me constantly pick her brain for help when I got stuck on this project, and for her amazing book with AD that I couldn't have done this without.

French white gal here: You've done exactly what the Revolution should have been about and I'm proud of you!
Channeling the French Revolution in 2023 is always my goal XD
Fantastic work Nami! I'm very impressed!
I LOVE the material! And kudos to sticking with the pleats - I would have ripped my hair out! LOL!
OMG you look FABULOUS!!! And aw heeeell ya showing up to make the ancien aristos FLIP OUT YESSSS!!!
Great dress and great commentary!!
The gown came out to beautifully! And the fabric choice was 🤌🏻. I would love to see how you did your hair for the reveal! ❤ Love the ending too! Well said!
Tbh the hair styling was deceptively simple for me haha. I didn’t even use hairspray! I just smoothed my hair over a hair donut (by Jennylafluer) and Bobby pinned in place
i love your chaotic crafting energy
Just loving the fabric
So fabulous ❤❤❤
Go you! This dress is 🤩🤌also, love the teamwork and viva la resistencia vibes in this vid✨
OMG this is incredible on- location!! Love the DNA strands and the color makes you glow (ETA I enjoyed your TED Talk 🎉)
Awww thank you ❤️
Gorgeous!!! Also I think I’ve bled on 80% of the clothes I’ve made 😂 it a baptism at this point
I LOVE that you (And Christine! And Yinsey!) went to party at Versailles. It's punk rock in the best kind of way 🎉🤘
Also...I've NEVER had success with pocket hoops. No matter how much boning I stuff in mine, they always collapse. It is a genuine mystery how people get those things to stay up 😒 I feel 'ya. So much.
Yeah I purchased a nice set from an Etsy provider with actual hooping boning so fingers crossed it works! I’m gonna do a comparison video of the two lol
Partyyy!
(Party like your pincushion is nekkid.)
I love your outlook on the whole thing. And despite the problems you had with it, the dress looks phenomenal on you!
It reminds me of my chaotic sewing routines 😂😊
Sewstine is fantastic.
Love your videos!! Did you try anything to get the sharpie out? I would have gravitated to rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, but I have no idea if either would work or just wreck the fabric.
I've gotten blood on my projects often enough that I consider it a signature.
When you run out of pins lol, more comments once I've watched the whole video
Hey another Genetics girly who lives too sew!!!!!!!!!
I also try and find DNA helixes in every pattern possible😂
Heck yeah twinning!!!
Are those FFXIV Dancer weapons hanging on the wall behind you?!
Good eye, yes they are!! ^_^ I made an ffxiv dancer back in … gosh 2019?? Ish???
@@NamiSparrow Haha! Awesome!
❤❤❤❤❤
Also @sewstine ❤❤❤❤❤
