    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!

    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 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.

    • @NamiSparrow
      @NamiSparrow  ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    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.
