Always such a delight to sit here with my morning coffee and watch a new Frieda video. One of my favourite things about tulle - NO SEWN HEM. My favourite trick to gathering - doing a zigzag stitch over top of a strong, heavy thread so that the heavy one is caught underneath the zigzags. I find that way i never snap the finer thread when gathering in the fabric. I very much enjoy your journey, Frieda, and i am so grateful you share it with us.
That’s an amazing tip for gathering! I usually just do it with the machine on tulle since it’s so light, but with thicker fabric I always do it by hand, so I’ll definitely try out this technique! Thank you 🥰 and I’m happy you enjoyed the video!
It works even better if you have a pintuck foot because the channels for the tucks keep the chord from moving around and you only need to watch your seam allowance.
I use the same technique, using either quilting thread or even dental floss. But I'm only making Halloween costumes, not elegant evening or bridal wear.
Sadly I don't quite understand this trick yet. Do you do a straight stitch with a heavy thread and then on top a zigzag? Or only a zigzag with the top thread being out of a heavy thread? Would be great to know! Thanks 🙏
I think I share the feelings of all the comments below - from the relaxing music and voice with a cup of coffee to learning something new or confirming my ways of sewing. You make me slow down and enjoy the process. Sharing is the way to go - we owe it to each other as humans. Thank you!
i think the biggest piece of this was Bridal Tulle rather than craft sewing tulle. it wont ever drape the same way and materials are almost more important than the process, especially when the concept is circles or 2D patterns
Your pieces are so ethereal & elegant!🌞 And your music and voice are so relaxing! I love the natural sounds of cutting and measuring. And, the editing is as sublime as always!
This is wonderful! I'm making my own wedding dress and skirt 3 was exactly what I needed to finalise my patterns, thank you so much for posting this. Also your voice and the music backing this video are both so relaxing!
This is an EXCELLENT training video. I’ve not made a tulle skirt previously but would LOVE to have your notes or written directions for #2 if you’d be willing to share. The skirt I’ll be making for a September Bride. Thank you Frieda!!
i've been eyeing the morning haze dress as inspiration for my DIY wedding gown, and i'm so grateful you posted your process so that i don't have to go through all the trial and error! so excited to get sewing :)
i really like your voice it's very mild,calm,relaxing,and the way your video was put together is like the way you meticulously put the fabric together. i love it❤
I love tutorials, and yours are also work of art. I learn the best by looking under other people's hands, and this is pure joy. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank you! I love to watch other people work as well, so I always try to make the videos how I would enjoy them... And I'm happy so many people like it that way, too!
I have watched this video fully 4 times! I love the ethereal looks, the 3rd one is my favorite! Of course, each one is beautiful. I enjoy and appreciate the very detailed tutorial. I think your style of " teaching" is excellent for someone who doesn't make such delicate items, normally. I also want to sincerely, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I was able to use this video to make my Niece her prom dress. I was able to use your teachings to make a dress handed down ( she didn't want to add to wasted clothing. She chose to add a little bit, to make it her style. It turned out lovely. With sincere gratitude for you sharing your amazing talents 😊, Audri
I used this tutorial to make my "bride Lydia" from Beetlejuice cosplay! It was a lot of work, but it turned out fantastic. I get so many compliments on how it turned out! Can't thank you enough for putting these tutorials out there!
Oh that’s so cool! It’s amazing to know what kind of projects my videos are helping with, so thank you for letting me know! I hope you had a lot of fun even though it was a lot of work!
I look forward to any content you make! You have an amazing quality and superb aesthetic to all of your creations and video editing that is superior to a lot of other channels and it just compels me to watch such talent. All three skirts are fantastic!!!
After watching this video about ten times, this is my interpretation of the 'negative pattern' used for skirt #2. She explains the negative pattern at 2:37 -- refers to using the centre, triangular piece that is cut off the top angle of each segment to make the inner circle of the circle skirt. This extra piece is used to create gores / godet in the hem, adding extra fullness between each seams. She seems to use at least two layers to make the skirt: one godet skirt and one circle skirt on top ... But we never see the finished page of notes, unlike the first design.
Thanks so much for posting. Have been wanting to make what you call #2 for awhile but wasn’t sure the best process (number of layers needed and fabric recommendations). Your content is really exquisite.
Thank you so much! The number of layers also depend on what the top looks like. I made this skirt for the morning haze dress (it’s the video before) and the bodice contained of 3 tulle layers, so I endet up with three layers for the skirt as well (with the two inside layers only cut as regular circle skirts) so that skirt and bodice would have the same colour!
@@BlueBobbin designed and made wedding dress for last 50 years … take your time and you need patience especially with making a tulle dress .. and always make mock up of the dress in cotton fabric first so any mistakes and some alterations can be made on the mock-up
This is gorgeous as always! I'm just starting to make my own garments after several years of mending and altering. This sort of skirt is a Someday goal for me. Thank you for such beautiful, relaxing, informative content.
OMG..... a negative pattern piece!!!!!!!! that is so smart!!!! Of course! It almost feels like, why didn't I think of that earlier? lol Brilliant tip, definitely saves pattern paper too XD, since it's a ginormous circle!!!
@@nutella9446the negative pattern marks what you are cutting away, not what you are keeping. So, as she says, she marks her waist measurement then takes OFF the seam allowance from that line. This in turn ADDS that to the actual skirt. The skirt length is then marked using a tape measure and pins. Circle skirt patterns can become huge, so using a pattern for just the waist makes it a bit easier than marking the waist and length with a tape measure and pins.
WONDERFUL tutorial!!! I'll definitely be coming back to this video when I'm developing a pattern for my wedding dress! I won't begin pattern developing until I'm prepared to start construction, because I want everything to be fresh. If I work on making the pattern and construction too early and have to stop for a lengthy period, I'll forget key steps and such that I need to remember. Got engaged in May. We're hoping to buy a house next year and marry the following year. I'll start working on my wedding dress after we move into our new home.
Thank you! I’m glad to help 🥰 And I definitely know what you mean! Since I’m working on a few commissions at the same time over a longer period of time I always have to take so many notes to understand my own patterns 😂 I wish you lots of fun with making your own wedding dress 🥰
@@friedalepold Thank you so much for posting and responding to my comment! I'm sorry I didn't see your reply for so long. Wonderful thing about tulle is it is wonderfully inexpensive, but makes the gowns look and feel so ethereal! I love it! Still toying with ideas, but thinking of an off-white with floral printed organza (found one I fell in love with on Etsy) as an overlay, using your second tulle skirt example for the gown. I'll be sure to share with you when I make the dress. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and skills with us!
Thank you for this video, not only is it informative, but beautifully filmed (I like the morning coffee idea from one of your followers). I've sewn for ages, but not with tulle, so all your handy hints are a life savor for me. I didn't know I could iron tulle!!! Thank you so much!
In the heart of New York City, amidst the bustling streets and towering buildings, a grand fashion show was about to take place. The venue was a lavish ballroom, adorned with crystal chandeliers and golden trimmings, creating a setting fit for royalty. The guests, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly awaited the unveiling of the latest creations by renowned designers Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick. The theme of the show was centered around 19th-century French fashion, a period known for its opulence and elegance. The models, draped in luxurious fabrics and adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, exuded a sense of regal splendor as they glided down the runway. As the show began, the audience was immediately captivated by the stunning creations that graced the catwalk. Each garment was a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that the designers were known for. One of the standout pieces was a gown inspired by the First French Empire, featuring a structured bodice and billowing skirts made of sumptuous silk. The intricate embroidery on the bodice shimmered in the light, adding a touch of glamour to the piece. The model wearing the gown carried herself with confidence and grace, embodying the essence of a modern-day empress. Another notable ensemble was a coat made of rich velvet, adorned with intricate lace and pearl embellishments. The model who wore it exuded confidence and sophistication, her every movement a testament to the designer's skill in creating garments that not only looked beautiful but also felt empowering. The show was a mesmerizing display of fashion and artistry, with each garment telling a story of its own. From the delicate tulle skirts to the luxurious satin gowns, every piece was a work of art that transported the audience back in time to an era of grandeur and grandiosity. As the show drew to a close, the designers took to the stage to thunderous applause. Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick, the masterminds behind the collection, basked in the adoration of their audience, their creative vision brought to life in a spectacular fashion. In the aftermath of the show, the guests lingered in the ballroom, admiring the garments up close and marveling at the intricacy of the designs. The air was filled with a sense of awe and wonder, as if the very essence of the 19th-century fashion had been resurrected in that moment. As the last guest departed, a sense of satisfaction washed over Benjamin and Ellen. Their vision had been realized, their creations met with acclaim and admiration. They knew that they had succeeded in creating not just a fashion show, but a work of art that would be remembered for years to come. And so, the 19th-century fashion show in New York came to a close, leaving an indelible mark on the world of haute couture and cementing Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick as icons of the industry. It was a night of beauty, elegance, and majesty, a celebration of fashion at its most enchanting.
It looks so good! ❤ I've alway wanted to sew a tulle short skirt for myself, i think i'll give it a go with your 3rd method and all your advices ! Thanks!
Could you make a more indepth video on skirt 2? I have a really hard time following and understanding what you mean. I dont understand the negative pattern part at all
Thank you for this amazing turorial! So excited to try the 2nd one :) I'm interested to know how you manage the bulk at the waist while sewing? I've tried a few methods, but it never looks good. Any tutorial on this would be amazing and very much appreciated!
Hm I think I have a huge advantage with my sewing machine 😂 but I like to sew from the inside, so that the gathering is at the underside and so it doesn’t catch on the foot
Aaah thank you sm for this tutorial❤...my matric ball is very soon and I've been looking for a tulle skirt tutorial and now I've found the perfect video😊i cant wait to start and i think i will use your second style😊
@Reileen, I'm still unsure what of using a negative pattern means. Would you mind explaining this concept? I've tried Googling it, but I only get psychology answers, ha!
I'm enchanted by your skirt number 2! Being able to have translucency at the waist, with fullness at the hem is magical! It looks like you have basically slashed and spread the skirt pattern for that, does the final pattern shape differ from a full or double circle skirt then?🌟
The third skirt went over my head a little bit even though it isy favorite 😢. I'm making a graduation dress for my 10year old and I would have loved to use that technique. Lovely video.
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the exquisite designs of a talented young designer named Amalia. She had always been fascinated by history and had a particular interest in the 19th century fashion of Poland. Her upcoming collection was inspired by the rich and tumultuous history of the country, drawing inspiration from events such as the Greater Poland Uprising, Siege of Danzig, Free City of Kraków, Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland, and Republic of Krakow. Amalia had spent months meticulously researching and designing her collection, pouring her heart and soul into each garment. The fabrics she chose were luxurious and of the highest quality, from fluffy smooth tulle to delicate silks. She paid close attention to the smallest details, ensuring that every stitch and pattern was perfect. As the models began to take their places backstage, Amalia felt a sense of excitement and nervousness wash over her. This was her moment to shine, to showcase her unique vision to the world. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of all the hard work and dedication that had gone into this collection. The music began to play, signaling the start of the show. The first model emerged onto the runway, wearing a stunning gown inspired by the Greater Poland Uprising. The deep red hue of the fabric and intricate embroidery paid homage to the brave soldiers who fought for their freedom. As each model walked down the runway, Amalia's designs mesmerized the audience. The Siege of Danzig collection featured structured coats and jackets with military-inspired detailing, while the Free City of Kraków collection showcased elegant ball gowns fit for a queen. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland collection was a celebration of freedom and democracy, with flowing skirts and delicate lace detailing. The Republic of Krakow collection paid tribute to the vibrant culture and folklore of the region, with colorful prints and embroidered accents. As the final model stepped out onto the runway, wearing a breathtaking gown inspired by the silkworm, the audience erupted into applause. Amalia's collection had been a triumph, a perfect blend of history, artistry, and beauty. After the show, Amalia was surrounded by adoring fans and fashion critics, all eager to shower her with praise. She smiled humbly and thanked everyone for their support, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her. As she looked around at the bustling city of New York, she knew that this was only the beginning. Her designs had captivated the hearts of many, and she was determined to continue pushing the boundaries of fashion and creativity. And so, Amalia's story of passion, dedication, and artistry continued, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of fashion and beyond.
This is so wonderful! I have two questions: How much tuelle does the third skirt usually take and where did you get a sketchbook with those base models? Thank you so much and wonderful work!!
Wie im Märchen… ein Traum!!!🥰 Wieviele Stunden hast du insgesamt daran genäht? Und wie häufig hast du gedacht: „oh Gott, was zum Teufel mache ich hier eigentlich?!?“ 😅 Schweiß, Mühe und Geduld haben sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Es schaut fantastisch aus!!!
Danke dir 🥰 puhhh also einen ganz einfachen tüllrock schaffe ich mittlerweile an einem Tag :D aber auch nur weil ich dabei gar nicht mehr denken muss. Die größeren sind dann schon eine andere Nummer 😂
I use a straight stitch for the tulle! I always thought you’d do zigzag to make the seam a bit more flexible, but with tulle skirts you don’t really need that. Or is there another reason to use this stitch? 🥰
So much information! You mentioned 20 meters for one of the styles, but is it more or less for the others? I have a little girl that would love a princess tulle skirt, but my wallet is not keen on 15-20 meter of tulle.
Yes, the 20 metres are in the black skirt that is shown in the video. The second and third skirt are done with even more fabric. But when it’s for a smaller person you need significantly less fabric especially when you don’t have to use the whole 3m width and can keep it folded :)
Hi, the skirts are so beautiful! ❤ I really want to do the 2nd one, it is my favorite. It takes me a while to understand how it's done, I won't tell how many time I look at the n2 😂Do you think it could work with heavier fabrics?
Honestly I am just using the same pattern pieces as for the actual waist, just a few more per layer depending on how much gathering I want in each layer. :)
Hello! I just wanted to ask for the 2nd skirt, if I have a wait circumference of 90cm how big do you make the 1/2 circle and how many times do you divide it to make it longer at the back. Great video! Thank you
Thank you for showing us how to make tulle skirts. I don’t sew and was terrible at it in middle school but I’ve gotten it into my head that I might want to make my own wedding dress with tulle skirt 😅 I liked your second one the most but I have a question. I would like to make a skirt that’s closer to the body, not so full of fluff ( it would have an underdress). Could you show how to make a tulle skirt that’s less fluffy, closer to body? Or could you explain how to do it? Extra love if you use ombre tulle 🥰 Thanks ☺️
Then maybe a chiffon fabric may be a better choice as if you use tulle with a lot less volume it can look a little bit, ..oh how do I explain it …it will look a bit naff and cheap
Hello ! Thank you so much for this beautiful video and those amazing dresses. I would like to make the skirt n°1, but I don't understand how is made the 3rd layer. I understood that the 1rst one (the base) is made from 1 half circle , the 2nd one is made from 2 half circles sewn together , the 3rd is a mystery for me (I tried to read your note: 2 x X , which is the same as the 1rst layer note, but your little drawing aside is different than the 1rst layer drawing ) . Sorry I really hope my question is clear enough :)
Hello, just found your video today, and it s highly instructive. Tulle reminds me of when I did ballet, younger, so I always forget it s wearable outside easily and the no sewing hem is definitely a huge plus. I have a question as I m familiar with other types of cloth but beyond wearing a tutu, tulle not so much: if you would want to do a skirt with gradual coloring like you find sometimes in some designs from dark to lighter whatever color, would you alternate layers to get the result or would you advise having the tulle length dyed in such way (ie darker on one end and lighter on the other end of the length)?
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the luxurious and extravagant styles of the 19th century. The venue was elegantly decorated with opulent chandeliers, draped with sparkling crystals that cast a warm glow over the room. Guests, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly awaited the beginning of the show, their anticipation palpable in the air. The show was organized by a renowned fashion designer, who drew inspiration from the Kingdom of Holland and the Governor-general of the Dutch East Indies. The collection showcased the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the East Indian Archipelago, taking the audience on a mesmerizing journey through exotic lands and cultures. The first model graced the runway, clad in a stunning gown made from fluffy smooth tulle, reminiscent of the Sunda Strait. The fabric shimmered in the light, reflecting the model's every move with a graceful elegance. The audience gasped in awe at the sheer beauty of the creation, the intricate details and delicate embroidery revealing the designer's meticulous craftsmanship. As the show progressed, each garment told a story of its own, representing a different aspect of the designer's vision. The influence of the Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij could be seen in the bold silhouettes and innovative cuts, while the colors and textures paid homage to the rich history of the region. One particular gown caught the attention of every guest in the room. Made from the finest silk, the dress shimmered like liquid gold under the lights, its intricate patterns and exquisite beading a testament to the designer's skill and creativity. The model who wore it glided down the runway with an air of confidence, her every step a dance of grace and beauty. As the show drew to a close, the audience erupted into thunderous applause, their admiration and appreciation evident in every clap. The designer, beaming with pride, took a bow at the end of the runway, grateful for the opportunity to share her creations with the world. In the aftermath, fashion critics and industry insiders hailed the show as a triumph, praising the designer for her bold and innovative approach to couture. Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick, two prominent figures in the fashion world, were among the guests in attendance, and they were quick to share their praises for the designer's exceptional talent and vision. The 19th century fashion show had left a lasting impression on all those who had the privilege of witnessing it. The beauty, the grace, the majesty of each garment lingered in the air long after the show had ended, a reminder of the power of creativity and the art of fashion. As the guests filed out of the venue, their hearts full of inspiration and admiration, they carried with them a piece of the magic that had filled the room that evening. The designer's creations had transported them to a world of beauty and elegance, a world where anything was possible, and where dreams could come to life in the most extraordinary of ways.
i have prom coming up and I'm making my own dress. thank you so much for this tutorial bc i had absolutely no idea how to sew tulle. but how many meters of tulle do you usually use for the 3rd skirt?
I will take your tutorial and apply it to my 4 18 inch tall dolls i do believe they will be beautiful on my dolls as they are bjd dolls and have a beautiful figure for a tulle bodice as well I do enjoy your tutorials for my doll making thank you for showing me how to correctly do one i just cut about 19 or 20 circles for my dolls and layer mine from a center cut circle and stitch the tops togethter its pretty that way but your way will give so many more possibilities
Hi there, I’m a bit puzzled about parts of the tutorial, in particular, the CB and zipper? How did you attach it to the lining but not the tulle? How did you finish the CB? I know you said up to 25cm but what do you do with that remaining 25cm if it’s not attached to the zipper? Did you just attach it to the lining? Did you do so by hand or machine? Beautifully shot video, but difficult to follow in some parts could be a bit more concise ❤️

The show was a mesmerizing display of fashion and artistry, with each garment telling a story of its own. From the delicate tulle skirts to the luxurious satin gowns, every piece was a work of art that transported the audience back in time to an era of grandeur and grandiosity.
As the show drew to a close, the designers took to the stage to thunderous applause. Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick, the masterminds behind the collection, basked in the adoration of their audience, their creative vision brought to life in a spectacular fashion.
In the aftermath of the show, the guests lingered in the ballroom, admiring the garments up close and marveling at the intricacy of the designs. The air was filled with a sense of awe and wonder, as if the very essence of the 19th-century fashion had been resurrected in that moment.
As the last guest departed, a sense of satisfaction washed over Benjamin and Ellen. Their vision had been realized, their creations met with acclaim and admiration. They knew that they had succeeded in creating not just a fashion show, but a work of art that would be remembered for years to come.
And so, the 19th-century fashion show in New York came to a close, leaving an indelible mark on the world of haute couture and cementing Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick as icons of the industry. It was a night of beauty, elegance, and majesty, a celebration of fashion at its most enchanting.

Such an awesome video! Thank you so much. Also appreciated you explaining things in even more detail in the comments. 😁
You’re very skilled. They looked amazing
These are all so lovely and delicate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I found the video very informative and inspiring!
Thank you!
Such an informative video! I think I will be using the patterns for multiple projects, your explanation seems so easy to understand.
These are all so ethereal and beautiful! I love them all ❤
Thanks!
These skirts are beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Your three skirts are just heavenly. Thank you for sharing.
This was amazingly informative and stunningly shot as well! You're an incredible filmographer as well as an absolutely phenomenal dressmaker!
You’re videos are very nice to just sit and watch ❤
🤗They are all beautiful.... And the last one is breathtaking 🤗
Danke!
Thank you
Could you make a more indepth video on skirt 2? I have a really hard time following and understanding what you mean. I dont understand the negative pattern part at all
Me too
Thank you for this amazing turorial! So excited to try the 2nd one :) I'm interested to know how you manage the bulk at the waist while sewing? I've tried a few methods, but it never looks good. Any tutorial on this would be amazing and very much appreciated!
Hm I think I have a huge advantage with my sewing machine 😂 but I like to sew from the inside, so that the gathering is at the underside and so it doesn’t catch on the foot
Aaah thank you sm for this tutorial❤...my matric ball is very soon and I've been looking for a tulle skirt tutorial and now I've found the perfect video😊i cant wait to start and i think i will use your second style😊
I'm so glad I just came across your beautiful channel. I can't wait to see what else you have
the negative pattern is brilliant. I've never thought of doing it this way.🤦♀ Thanks a lot. This will help
@Reileen, I'm still unsure what of using a negative pattern means. Would you mind explaining this concept? I've tried Googling it, but I only get psychology answers, ha!
Could you explain, what is negative pattern? That would really help!
These give me delusions of DIY lol
absolutely stunning, and it's hard to choose a favorite
:D Thank you!
I'm enchanted by your skirt number 2! Being able to have translucency at the waist, with fullness at the hem is magical! It looks like you have basically slashed and spread the skirt pattern for that, does the final pattern shape differ from a full or double circle skirt then?🌟
Thank you! Every part itself is a half circle, but sewn together the bottom is more like 4 or 5 circles !
@@friedalepold wow so laid out flat it would be a spiral?! Fantastic! 👗
This is so cool! Beautiful skirts and a great tutorial! I loved it!
Love the flow of the skit! So talented
Thank you for this video! I'm making my first cosplay ballgown and I was completely stumped until I found this!
The third skirt went over my head a little bit even though it isy favorite 😢.
I'm making a graduation dress for my 10year old and I would have loved to use that technique.
Lovely video.
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the exquisite designs of a talented young designer named Amalia. She had always been fascinated by history and had a particular interest in the 19th century fashion of Poland. Her upcoming collection was inspired by the rich and tumultuous history of the country, drawing inspiration from events such as the Greater Poland Uprising, Siege of Danzig, Free City of Kraków, Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland, and Republic of Krakow.
Amalia had spent months meticulously researching and designing her collection, pouring her heart and soul into each garment. The fabrics she chose were luxurious and of the highest quality, from fluffy smooth tulle to delicate silks. She paid close attention to the smallest details, ensuring that every stitch and pattern was perfect.
As the models began to take their places backstage, Amalia felt a sense of excitement and nervousness wash over her. This was her moment to shine, to showcase her unique vision to the world. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of all the hard work and dedication that had gone into this collection.
The music began to play, signaling the start of the show. The first model emerged onto the runway, wearing a stunning gown inspired by the Greater Poland Uprising. The deep red hue of the fabric and intricate embroidery paid homage to the brave soldiers who fought for their freedom.
As each model walked down the runway, Amalia's designs mesmerized the audience. The Siege of Danzig collection featured structured coats and jackets with military-inspired detailing, while the Free City of Kraków collection showcased elegant ball gowns fit for a queen.
The Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland collection was a celebration of freedom and democracy, with flowing skirts and delicate lace detailing. The Republic of Krakow collection paid tribute to the vibrant culture and folklore of the region, with colorful prints and embroidered accents.
As the final model stepped out onto the runway, wearing a breathtaking gown inspired by the silkworm, the audience erupted into applause. Amalia's collection had been a triumph, a perfect blend of history, artistry, and beauty.
After the show, Amalia was surrounded by adoring fans and fashion critics, all eager to shower her with praise. She smiled humbly and thanked everyone for their support, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her.
As she looked around at the bustling city of New York, she knew that this was only the beginning. Her designs had captivated the hearts of many, and she was determined to continue pushing the boundaries of fashion and creativity.
And so, Amalia's story of passion, dedication, and artistry continued, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of fashion and beyond.
Another fantastic video ❤I love everything about these skirts! Would love to be able to have this level of skill!💙
Thank you! I think its a lot of doing things slow and considerate - and of course doing it everyday :D
I like the 3rd skirt they are all pretty
I love your videos 😍😍😍
They are so calming and aesthetic and informative ❤️
I love her voice and this whole video aesthetic
This was calming to watch as well as informative
I’m happy you liked the video! 🥰
This is so wonderful! I have two questions: How much tuelle does the third skirt usually take and where did you get a sketchbook with those base models? Thank you so much and wonderful work!!
Wie im Märchen… ein Traum!!!🥰
Wieviele Stunden hast du insgesamt daran genäht? Und wie häufig hast du gedacht: „oh Gott, was zum Teufel mache ich hier eigentlich?!?“ 😅 Schweiß, Mühe und Geduld haben sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Es schaut fantastisch aus!!!
Danke dir 🥰 puhhh also einen ganz einfachen tüllrock schaffe ich mittlerweile an einem Tag :D aber auch nur weil ich dabei gar nicht mehr denken muss. Die größeren sind dann schon eine andere Nummer 😂
Always love seeing your process! Beautiful!
Perfect amount of knowledge and inspiration! ❤
toujours un réel bonheur de voir vos créations.... amazing .......❤❤❤
Love the first and second! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us
Thank you for sharing more of your process. I really like the way you explain things.
Such a great suggestion to iron a test piece. ❤
Yes it saved me a lot of burned Layers! Now I already know how to do my settings for the tulle I use, but with every new fabric I usually test it out.
I always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.
Thank you 🥰
You are amazing thank you for sharing this video of your work ❤️ ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I want make a tulle skirt. I have the fabrics.
Your videos are so relaxing.
Thank you for sharing!!
Your garments are gorgeous!!
Now I want to make one just so I can flounce around the house in it! LOL!
Beautiful skirts. I do have a question. Do you use straight or zigzag to sew the tulle.
Can wait your next creation
I use a straight stitch for the tulle! I always thought you’d do zigzag to make the seam a bit more flexible, but with tulle skirts you don’t really need that. Or is there another reason to use this stitch? 🥰
@@friedalepold, I have never done anything with tulle as I didn't know which stitch to use. Thank you for your answer.
Beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩
So much information!
You mentioned 20 meters for one of the styles, but is it more or less for the others?
I have a little girl that would love a princess tulle skirt, but my wallet is not keen on 15-20 meter of tulle.
I mean, that's for a floor length, very full skirt for an adult woman. You can likely get away with way less for a kid.
Yes, the 20 metres are in the black skirt that is shown in the video. The second and third skirt are done with even more fabric. But when it’s for a smaller person you need significantly less fabric especially when you don’t have to use the whole 3m width and can keep it folded :)
This is phenomenally inspiring! Thank you so much! ☺️💖
Thank you 🥰 I’m happy you liked the video!
Hi, the skirts are so beautiful! ❤ I really want to do the 2nd one, it is my favorite. It takes me a while to understand how it's done, I won't tell how many time I look at the n2 😂Do you think it could work with heavier fabrics?
Love your videos! A question about skirt three: when you start doing the circular layers, what measurements do you use for the “waist”?
Honestly I am just using the same pattern pieces as for the actual waist, just a few more per layer depending on how much gathering I want in each layer. :)
The video is amazing, thank you! Although, could you tell me, which kind of tulle exactly do you use? Maybe you have a link or something...
What are the patterns for skirt 2? Im a bit confused with the explanations. Thats for the beautiful video!
Hello! I just wanted to ask for the 2nd skirt, if I have a wait circumference of 90cm how big do you make the 1/2 circle and how many times do you divide it to make it longer at the back. Great video! Thank you
Love the thumbnail it looks like a Sargent painting 🙂
Thank you for showing us how to make tulle skirts. I don’t sew and was terrible at it in middle school but I’ve gotten it into my head that I might want to make my own wedding dress with tulle skirt 😅 I liked your second one the most but I have a question. I would like to make a skirt that’s closer to the body, not so full of fluff ( it would have an underdress). Could you show how to make a tulle skirt that’s less fluffy, closer to body? Or could you explain how to do it? Extra love if you use ombre tulle 🥰 Thanks ☺️
Then maybe a chiffon fabric may be a better choice as if you use tulle with a lot less volume it can look a little bit, ..oh how do I explain it …it will look a bit naff and cheap
What are the little clips that you use (name?) and where could I buy them? Thanks. My favourite is the third one. Stunning!
What brand of measuring tape do you use? the hook and eye function looks like it'd be really useful.
Hello ! Thank you so much for this beautiful video and those amazing dresses. I would like to make the skirt n°1, but I don't understand how is made the 3rd layer. I understood that the 1rst one (the base) is made from 1 half circle , the 2nd one is made from 2 half circles sewn together , the 3rd is a mystery for me (I tried to read your note: 2 x X , which is the same as the 1rst layer note, but your little drawing aside is different than the 1rst layer drawing ) . Sorry I really hope my question is clear enough :)
This is gold, thank you very much!
Hello ! Super video ! For the third, the base is only made with one "slice" of tulle ?
Hello, just found your video today, and it s highly instructive.
Tulle reminds me of when I did ballet, younger, so I always forget it s wearable outside easily and the no sewing hem is definitely a huge plus.
I have a question as I m familiar with other types of cloth but beyond wearing a tutu, tulle not so much: if you would want to do a skirt with gradual coloring like you find sometimes in some designs from dark to lighter whatever color, would you alternate layers to get the result or would you advise having the tulle length dyed in such way (ie darker on one end and lighter on the other end of the length)?
Where do you buy your tulle and what kind is it? It looks really great!
A girls dream! So beautiful. Unfortunately I was never that skinny to actually wear those skirts. Lovely video though.
In the heart of New York City, a grand fashion show was about to take place, showcasing the luxurious and extravagant styles of the 19th century. The venue was elegantly decorated with opulent chandeliers, draped with sparkling crystals that cast a warm glow over the room. Guests, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly awaited the beginning of the show, their anticipation palpable in the air.
The show was organized by a renowned fashion designer, who drew inspiration from the Kingdom of Holland and the Governor-general of the Dutch East Indies. The collection showcased the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the East Indian Archipelago, taking the audience on a mesmerizing journey through exotic lands and cultures.
The first model graced the runway, clad in a stunning gown made from fluffy smooth tulle, reminiscent of the Sunda Strait. The fabric shimmered in the light, reflecting the model's every move with a graceful elegance. The audience gasped in awe at the sheer beauty of the creation, the intricate details and delicate embroidery revealing the designer's meticulous craftsmanship.
As the show progressed, each garment told a story of its own, representing a different aspect of the designer's vision. The influence of the Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij could be seen in the bold silhouettes and innovative cuts, while the colors and textures paid homage to the rich history of the region.
One particular gown caught the attention of every guest in the room. Made from the finest silk, the dress shimmered like liquid gold under the lights, its intricate patterns and exquisite beading a testament to the designer's skill and creativity. The model who wore it glided down the runway with an air of confidence, her every step a dance of grace and beauty.
As the show drew to a close, the audience erupted into thunderous applause, their admiration and appreciation evident in every clap. The designer, beaming with pride, took a bow at the end of the runway, grateful for the opportunity to share her creations with the world.
In the aftermath, fashion critics and industry insiders hailed the show as a triumph, praising the designer for her bold and innovative approach to couture. Benjamin Ip and Ellen Mirojnick, two prominent figures in the fashion world, were among the guests in attendance, and they were quick to share their praises for the designer's exceptional talent and vision.
The 19th century fashion show had left a lasting impression on all those who had the privilege of witnessing it. The beauty, the grace, the majesty of each garment lingered in the air long after the show had ended, a reminder of the power of creativity and the art of fashion.
As the guests filed out of the venue, their hearts full of inspiration and admiration, they carried with them a piece of the magic that had filled the room that evening. The designer's creations had transported them to a world of beauty and elegance, a world where anything was possible, and where dreams could come to life in the most extraordinary of ways.
what a beautiful video. really relaxing
BRAVO!! I'm sharing! 😍
i have prom coming up and I'm making my own dress. thank you so much for this tutorial bc i had absolutely no idea how to sew tulle. but how many meters of tulle do you usually use for the 3rd skirt?
I will take your tutorial and apply it to my 4 18 inch tall dolls i do believe they will be beautiful on my dolls as they are bjd dolls and have a beautiful figure for a tulle bodice as well I do enjoy your tutorials for my doll making thank you for showing me how to correctly do one i just cut about 19 or 20 circles for my dolls and layer mine from a center cut circle and stitch the tops togethter its pretty that way but your way will give so many more possibilities
I’m happy I could give some new inspiration to make tulle skirts for you 🥰 I’m sure it will look amazing!
Love your video! About how much tulle is used in the third skirt? :)
Hi there, I’m a bit puzzled about parts of the tutorial, in particular, the CB and zipper? How did you attach it to the lining but not the tulle? How did you finish the CB? I know you said up to 25cm but what do you do with that remaining 25cm if it’s not attached to the zipper? Did you just attach it to the lining? Did you do so by hand or machine? Beautifully shot video, but difficult to follow in some parts could be a bit more concise ❤️
I can only think you left the zip allowance free on the lining and attached it afterwards which wasn’t explained at all.
