  • I made a glittery twist front dress to wear to Glam Glow's #glittermask party! This dress is perfect for the holidays and very simple to assemble. The hardest part was figuring out how the heck to make my own pattern xD
    TIME: 2 Days to draft and sew
    DIFFICULTY: EASY sewing but CHALLENGING to figure out the pattern!
    WHAT I WORE UNDERNEATH:
    Nude Spanx: go.magik.ly/ml/...
    Nude sticky bra: go.magik.ly/ml/...
    MATERIALS:
    -Sparkly fabric from Joann (I got 4 yards, amount depends on your size)
    -Ballpoint needle (Sew with stretch stitch setting on your machine)
    My sewing machine:
    Sewing machine - Juki HZL-G Series
    amzn.to/2yqjaro
    Dress form/Mannequin:

      She has already been there and won,from what I remember in one off her previous videos in which she explained on how she eventually ended up making youtube videos. Idk which one was it but it is in there.

      Thank you! Tacking it down worked out in the end so it wasn't a disaster haha. I think even if it was more overlapped, you would have to tack it down somewhere so the skirt doesnt accidently flip over :)

    When draping something like this you should have the selvage at an angle. This prevents the fabric from stretching out.

    This is great, thanks for the great video! I wonder what it would look like as a long slinky gown with a huge slit down the side! Could you make a video on different lengths? What occasions they're most suitable for, what sort of "illusion" the lengths give for the overall body proportion..
