- A sewing tutorial for the French seamed, super gathered tiered tulle overlay! One of my most requested videos & best-selling pieces in my store. It's a simple garment to make but it takes a lot of time ( I promise it's worth it though). Grab a tea & join me for this sweet project.
What you'll need:
200+ yards of precut 6 inch wide tulle
Matching thread
Tulle/lightweight fabric needle

omg its really hard to sew while you gotta put the cam to the right angle, explaining every step, sometimes repeat, editing, sharing ommmgg so much effort🥲🥲🥺🥺👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for making this and sharing with us🙏🏻🐈
It does take a little extra thought - thank you for appreciating, it means a lot!!
What an absolute gift this video is! Such a treat to learn how to make this dreamy dress! 👗✨
Love your frolicking fairy montage at the end! 💖
I'm so glad the video was enjoyable. Thank you for watching! And how could i not frolick in such a fluffy dress hahahah
After seeing this I think I won't be able to sleep until I made one. You explain it all so well ❤
hahaha happy sewing!!
Yep after watching you do it, my thought is 'Get somebody else to do it' hahahaaha. You are strong and brave and do this very well. I am more lazy and the seemingly endless sewing would break my brain. You keep the crown and hold your flowers and a round of applause xxx
hhahhaa very reasonable - this one does take a lot of time and patience! Thank you for your kindness.
This was so much fun, thank you for sharing! And you made french seams make sense. Haha! I love this. Now I'm going to have to hunt for some tulle. :)
I'm so glad - French seams are amazing!!
I use the butt-end of a knitting needle to turn straps to the right side
Magical! And I didn’t even know tulle fabric spools were a thing, but it makes total sense! Thank you 🙏
They're INCREDIBLE !!
I love this dress so much! You always put so much time and effort into explaining everything and making sure anyone can follow along if they want to. I enjoy watching your videos even though I don't sew; you're such a kind and affable person, Carly!
Aw thank you so much!! I'm glad it made sense haha!!
@@fromcarlyb Any time! And yeah, definitely. If I ever give sewing a go, I might just have to attempt making this dress for my daughter 😅 ♡
This is so therapeutic to watch! The sheer layers are giving me skeleton leaf fairy wedding dress vibes😍🌱✨ don’t think it gets much more magical than that!!
Ooooh I love that description!!
Sooo pretty and dreamy!! As soon as I have time for a longer project I will try one! Just so that I understand correctly: even for the longer dresses you only gather the first two tiers? I love the amount of fluffiness!
Oooh sounds great!! I do only gather the first two tiers - but they are very gathered (about 25m in length minimum) by the end of the second tier!
I never thought of gathering the higher tiers of a garment but then not gathering the lower tiers as a way to control volume! I really like it! I'm going to try it the next time volume control comes up; it means you get all the poof but don't have to do as much math/as much gathering (hand-gathering more then a tier or so gets tiring very quickly and I like the almost "set it and forget it" vibe here where you do that step early on in construction and then not continue to worry about it as you go). It gives such a nice, soft ripple effect as the material drapes; I bet on cotton lawn (tissue-thin cotton) this could be really nice too.
It only came to me as I realized how gathered the dress would be if I continued gathering each tier !! It's a pretty enjoyable process for sure though. I think a Cotton Lawn would be lovely as well !
Thank you! And also your such a freaking vibe! Hope everything just keeps getting better and better for you!
Aw thank you so much!! That's so kind
This piece is sooooo dreamy! What a treat to have you share the process with us 🥰 You are so talented
Thank you Emily!
It's soooo dreamy and enchanted I love it. I am definitely gonna make something similar. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you so much
Absolutely obsessed with this dress! It's so lovely and you look magical wearing it! Going to work on one over the next two weeks and I'll definitely tag you on IG! Thank you SO MUCH for the tutorial!
Thank you so much!! That's so sweet. Be sure to tag - I would love to see your magical creation!
I am so so in love with this piece! It's so gorgeous and fun, and I love that it's fully french seamed! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much friend!! The french seams are so fun to do!!
pure magic and happiness 💖✨
thank you very much for the tutorial! will definitely try it for myself and i would really love to figure out how to get that vibe for my small brand 💛
Aw that's so lovely. Oooh sending you lots of good sewing luck - it's the most magical project to make!!
Amazing tutorial, I love it! Thank you so much, I’m going to try it as soon as I can 🤩🙌🏻 Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
ooooh so exciting - good luck & happy sewing!!
would you every consider making a tutorial for the ivory dress? it's beautiful and to die for xx
yes certainly!! i think it might be the next on my list!
This dress is everything! We love every projects and patterns you share they are really great! 😍
Thank you so much!
It was almost like you were sewing with invisible fabric. Like the fairy tale 'The new clothes of the emperor' ;)
It truly is - requires some patience for sure!!!
Ohh Carly thanks for share us this amazing process!❤ 🎉
Of course! Thank you for watching
SO excited to give this a go! Thank you so much for sharing!!✨✨✨
Happy sewing mate!!
thank you so much for sharing!
love xx
This is my dream dress! So so so beautiful 🤩
Aw that's so lovely!!! Thank you
This was such a good video!!! I had always wondered on the method of your tulle dresses and this was perfect - am definitely going to have to incorporate this into inspiration boards
Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Incredible video!! Great job explaining every step, it was informative and entertaining. I’m so inspired to make one☺️ thanks for sharing your process!!
Thank you Jacquelyn, I really appreciate it!
I absolutely love your videos and work!!!
Super cute 🤩 There was no question of the week 😢
Ooop I forgot! Next time!!
Super nice tutorial! I just don’t really get how long the first two tiers are. You only said something about 20-25 meters for the second one?
I need to recreate this! 😍
Thank you for watching! Oh yep sorry about the confusion. The top two tiers are really up to personal preference depending on how gathered you like your skirts to look. I never fully measured them out but I would probably start at 25m & divide that by 2 (12.5m) and use that measurement for the second tier... and then divide that by 1.5 (about 8) and use that for the top tier! It's totally up to you though!
Love this, thank you. Your instructions are super clear 😊 Do the lengths of tulle get progressively longer for each tier? Assume the gathered tiers take more tulle than the non gathered ❤
I'm so glad it makes sense! The first two tiers are gathered and thus get longer, but the third tier & below are all the same length and are ungathered.
So beautiful! So if I wanted to make it in tea length or maxi length, would I just continue with ungathered tiers, or do more gathered tiers along the way? :)
That's absolutely correct!
😍🤩💖
Super cute!!!! Wanna make one! But im not sure if i can find a precut tulle here in our country. Anyway is that a hard tulle or a soft tulle?
The tulle is nice & soft!
@@fromcarlyb thank you!
Hi Carly! It seems the precut tulle is not available anywhere near me 😢. If i just use tulle fabric that usually can be found at the stores, how many yards should i buy for this project? I badly wanted to make this!!!!!!
I can already see the fights my sewing machine and I will have over this one lol.
How many meters of thread would you suggest if I need to match the tulle?
hahhaah it can be quite fiddly for sure!! oooh good question... I'm not exactly sure but at least a few hundred yards I think!
Hi Carly, is tulle the same as a soft net? In my place on the net its showing up as a soft net when i search to buy tulle online.
I'm not exactly sure.. it could be? It's just important the tulle is soft & not rigid . x
@@fromcarlyb okay. Thank you so much.
Please show the results in more detail. This was to short to see the whole glory. 😊
