I think this is an unexplored niche in the drag TH-camr sphere of things. You do a really good job of like explaining ALL the steps from conception to even how you create your to do lists or how to choose to make sacrifices. So many videos just show the physical creation of a product vs the artistic creative process. Which is really relatable to someone not even in the drag world. I hope you make more videos like this !
So cool to see the whole process here, challenges and all. Also, the mannequin idea makes so much sense! As a furry, we call that a duct tape dummy and I never thought that would intersect with drag haha
In Cosplay we use the same technique but usually it's just on ourselves instead of to make a mannequin. The duct tape becomes the pattern itself, usually for like... form fitting armor or weird bits n' bobs that have to sit against the body snugly.
I want to see more queens on TH-cam show the process of how they sew their outfits. A lot of drag artists, in my opinion, don't really see an incentive in learning how to sew because they can hire someone to make a garment for them for the right price. This is why I love the design challenges on Drag Race. They test the queens' creativity to design and construct an outfit with the materials and time they're provided. I admire your work so much, Dawn. You went out of your way to show that not everything goes according to plan, even when you have a specific vision of the final result in mind. You've had to make sacrifices to bring this gown together, and you did wonderfully.
dont know why but i just got around to watching this video. the editing and production of your youtube videos are always phenomenal and tickle my brain in the perfect way. Im also so in love with seeing the progression of creating a look, and all the work put into it. and of course the little sentimental segment before the reveal at the end, a perfect way to close it all out. an amazingly beautiful garment. and a perfect video. So amazed by you dawny!
I don't know if it was on purpose, but the single light on the black "stage" reminded me of the Ghost Light tradition for theatre and brought back good memories of all the times I was in musicals and such in high school/college. ♥ [also on theme because like. sheet ghost.]
When you look this kunt, my dear, everything you do is high fashion. You're one of my favorites, if i ever do drag for a day in my life, you'll be the one i'll be channeling.
It's so stunning! And I totally felt the angst over trying to get something done in too short a time and not physically being able to physically do it in the same manner as you once did. Wait until you're 60 and still try to create as though you're 25! My body just can't hack it any more.
My little ADHD angle. i love you so much! This was such a great video. remember to always put yourself and your well being first. p.s the buttons you used to attach the skirt in the front had my entire jaw drop to the floor. GENIUS!
if you enjoyed making this type of video or can do again please do !! this type of content is amazing and the way you do it is so unique to you i love it !!
@ i’m so happy to hear that !! i love your fashion and design stuff (along with everything else of course) bc i personally haven’t seen many drag queens talk about or show the whole process of it on youtube !
Dawn: Over here we have a pile of garbage. Over here is another pile of garbage. Over here is the actual project. And this here is my favorite pile of garbage!
Do you prewash your fabric? Or heavy steam/iron it, or regular washing later will cause shrinking!! Shrinking doesn't happen equally either, so you can't plan for that 😅 If you make your own- prewash peeps!
I hope when I'm older I can make something as sickening as your looks lmao (No really I've been wanting to design clothes since I was 4 and drag kinda reignited that childhood dream. Maybe in a few years.)
She’s literally running through the night in her sexy sheet omg 😱

Makes me also think about how much I love Nymphia Wind’s little creative process videos except this is more in depth. Love !
Used her little reels as a big inspo for this!! Thank you :-)
It will forever blow my mind when you see a picture transform into a fully realized garment.
why have you got me crying over a bunch of fabric
why do i have a feeling you might use this on an all stars season...
edit:thx for the heart also your design inspired me😊😊
WE NEED A SEWING WITH DAWN SERIES!! As a fellow seamstress, Id go feral
So cool to see the whole process here, challenges and all. Also, the mannequin idea makes so much sense! As a furry, we call that a duct tape dummy and I never thought that would intersect with drag haha

Dawn is the best cinematographer❤

You look absoultely handsome in this video, Dawn. I loved that you dressed up as a ghost for Halloween.
When you look this kunt, my dear, everything you do is high fashion. You're one of my favorites, if i ever do drag for a day in my life, you'll be the one i'll be channeling.
This look is gorgeous Dawn! 🤍
Thank you bby 🤍

Moar costume making!
i love the final reveal and your makeup is gorgeous here!
Thank you for being so honest with your process! I’m also about to work all night on a drag costume 😭
It's so stunning! And I totally felt the angst over trying to get something done in too short a time and not physically being able to physically do it in the same manner as you once did. Wait until you're 60 and still try to create as though you're 25! My body just can't hack it any more.
Honestly that’s me at 26 trying to create like I’m 18 😭😭 can’t wait!! 🤍

Dawn would be such an amazing Drag Mother ngl
I wouldn’t but thank you
I need the sleepytime dawn plush, like inject it into my veins

More of this PLEASEEEEE
I’m so grateful drag race gave you the platform it did, my goodness
my eyes have been blessed 😍
Loveeeeee this
Your handwriting is so nice, I wish I could be that organized, my ADHD would never LOL
Oh this is quality content bb
Thank yew
Artistry
Condragulations Dawn... you're safe... again.
LMFAO
I am gagged
Dawn gives me Rachel Maksy vibes if Rachel Maksy were a drag queen, I love it ❤
i like crafting videos, keep it up! the makeup on the collar was very upsetting though :(
I know I’m sorry 😮💨
Holy fuck Dawn this is amazing
Thank you for sharing with us ❤
Dawn: Over here we have a pile of garbage. Over here is another pile of garbage. Over here is the actual project. And this here is my favorite pile of garbage!
Too real 😭😭
I love you, Dawn
I love you tanjirokamado8072!
I beg for more vids like this
More will come!!
7:02 I also learnt this technique in my engineering degree
Exactlyyyy
B*tch you are so talented . I love you so much!
is... is that a Kyogre tatoo?? Dope regardless
you so pretty♡
Ann Boleyn if she slayed
Do you prewash your fabric? Or heavy steam/iron it, or regular washing later will cause shrinking!!
Shrinking doesn't happen equally either, so you can't plan for that 😅
If you make your own- prewash peeps!
Yeah yeah yeah (you’re right)
You should name the mannequin Lt. Dan
I hope when I'm older I can make something as sickening as your looks lmao (No really I've been wanting to design clothes since I was 4 and drag kinda reignited that childhood dream. Maybe in a few years.)
❤❤❤
ok but all stars when???
would've been nice to have this vid prior to Halloween bc i was gonna go as the same thing, but we choose to forgive i suppose
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
The dress is lovely, but I can't trust anyone who holds a pen like that haha
😍😍😍
Starting a whole wore it better with La Voix already 😢
Next time, don't bother with a lining for the faux corset. Just a bias strip to use as a facing. Saves your brain SOOOO much
Well what’s funny is I literally ended up scrapping it and didn’t tell anyone so YEAH AGREE
Zelda? its you?
🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤🖤 Mysterious 👻👰🏻x👰🏻👻 Ghostyyy 🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍
The spookiest part of this video are the typos in the titles! Loving the jumpscare!
:D
