I cannot sew, not even hold a needle without sting myself. All the more I love watching your artful work with so much attention to detail! Thank you! 💖
Oh my god finally!!! Finally!!! I’ve only ever seen one other person make this dress and I wanted so so so so bad to see you do it because you always get your recreations 100% right and thank you for doing it!
I was reading an article about the set designs for Wicked and the visual theme to the whole movie is swirls, and as you mentioned Fibonacci. It makes sense that the costumes wouls follow along. No "straight lines!" ❤ This re creation of yours will be magical!
Wow, seing how cosplayers need to put so much hard work into figuring out, how these complicated dresses are constructed makes me appreciate them even more. ❤😊
That feeling of seeing a movie costume and getting the urge to make it yourself is too familiar! That's why I can't watch Hulu's The Great anymore😅Glinda's dress for this movie is really gorgeous tho! Thank you for this breakdown. Looking forward to following you on your journey to recreating it!😊💗
I appreciate your videos SO much... as I was watching this I realized that following along while you mentally (de)construct dresses from images (and video) is one of the things that gave me the confidence to "replicate" a dress I saw in a museum! I'm not anywhere near your skill and patience level and the dress is WAY simpler (a Mad Carpentier evening gown from the 50s) but still thank you thank you thank for sharing you process and knowledge! ❤❤
I remember watching you make your Cinderella ball gown from start to finish. It was like watching a friend check in with their work. I'm excited to see you start another big project again!
lol I have this vision of the local girls here in town falling in love with this dress, but being cattle country they are all wearing cowboy boots under the dress just as they do with the local town fair in June 🤣😂🤦♀️every year.
AHAHHA YES! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! Your content is amazing and your recreation of the Cinderella dress still lives in my mind rent free. I can't wait to see you tackle this next legendary gown!!
Glenda is the Good Witch of the South if i remember right. To me the beadwork colors remind me of an early sunset or sunrise. How the sky looks just before the sun dips over the horizon or just as its appearing for the day.. This explains the different colors from pink to yellow, and even the iridescent ones. Hope you understand what I'm saying. As if the Cinderella dresswasnt enough torture you found this one. Can't wait to see you create it. Hopefully no flounces this time. Lol
@@AmandahLynnGlinda the Good is the good witch of the south according to the OG Wizard of Oz book, like she's explicitly named that in text. Pretty sure the Judy Garland film also follows this. And that Glinda from the south has always been in pink. It gets hella confusing tho, cause the Munchkins met with the Good Witch of the North who is dressed in blue (which is also what we see in the first scene of the broadway musical) when the Wicked Witch of the East died under the house. But we also know that is Glinda, because the Munchkin yells that's her before she starts singing. Sooooo yeah, it's probably one of those musical things where they just kinda combined two characters into one for ease of storytelling. Kinda messes up the Wizard of Oz storytelling for me tho.
Another excellent video Bella! I feel like you have raised your video editing skills even more as well. Soooo looking forward to see more videos on this new adventure (and I also don’t envy you trying to create this! My brain hurts even thinking of making those spirals and attaching all those sequins!)
This is an amazing dress to try to recreate, but I started laughing because if you stare at the stills of the skirt swoops too long it starts to look like slices of pressed ham layered onto a sandwich. Or maybe I'm a bit peckish right now.
Going back to the mini hot iron photo, it looks like they're using the mini iron to seam the foredge of that fabric to the underneith layer using a kind of heat bond adhesive film between the layers. This method looks identical to the method seen in Baumgartner Restoration videos, where he uses a similar technique to seamlessly attatch border extensions of new canvas to pre-existing canvas edges. I think he uses a type of transparent double-sided tape that is set in place semi-permanently (for conservation reasons) with the mini iron.
@@BellaMaesDesigns if you make the dress or not, you're still a genius, you have proven that in your previous creations. You are an inspiration to all your subscribers.
Looking at the dress, those slightly gold or yellow in due to graduation of a detail called a payette -a disc about the size of an American buckle with one hole near the edge. You should look at various colors of pink transparent silver lined a crystals in size 11/0 and 12/0. The only folks I kniw who make these are Miami. They have many more varieties of seed beads. The twisted beads could be myuki or czech. Miyuki has a catalogue and all companies have displays in line, but often they are harder to make out detail in. You also want a good thread or metal wire ( comes in all types of colors and gauges. You should know that silver lined beads will tarnish over time. I don’t know if it’s possible to retard that using the stuff they coat silver jewelry and engraved plates with. If do, you will need to test to see if you can coat the whole bead, I doubt it. You likely would have to string the beads on absorbent string, soak part of the string in the protectant, then run the beads over the soaked part to make sure all of the inside is coated. Those shell like swirls are the tail ends of the Fibonacci folded back on itself. They have crossed two Fibonacci spirals wide parts together and the turned each tail back. If you go to “ gowns with palettes” and look at images you can see dresses with big pattered like the “bubbles” and much smaller payettes which seem heavily sewn onto the nodes. If there is a fine fabric cover over the bodice embellishments it is like the finest grade of silk chiffon or gauze.
The yellow crystals definitely seem to be Topaz AB because they have a hint of pink from certain angles but since that row is all being viewed from the same angle they will obviously read as completely yellow, the top of the bodice near the edge of the bust seems to be classic AB to match with the overall ombré effect
Hehe, one of my dear friends worked on this, he’s incredibly humble but incredibly clever, looking forwards to seeing what the empress of recreation is going to do with it ❤
Couple of things I noted. There are horse hair cones inserted in some of the curls. There seems to be a darker organza sandwiched at that lower portion of the skirt.
HAHA! I had this with my Jibaro costume. As soon as I saw the short, I was like: "...Oh no.... OH NO!!! I WANT TO MAKE THIS!! PLEASE, BRAIN, DON'T MAKE ME MAKE THIS!!!" I did.
Without having seen any of the photos of this dress, or the making of video, but after you described the lines of the bodice being "circles fold on themselves" which you can see clearly....as a designer, if I were going to put that much emphasis on circles and curves in the bodice, I would want to repeat the concept in the skirt, and the moment you describes lol d the skirt as having "all these shapes and curves, etc." My design gut said, "its circles".... not like its a circle skirt, or even circles sewn to a flat edge to create a flounce, its layers of circles folded and a polished to an under skirt, creating voluminous fullness. Hope that helps, for what its worth. I have been WAITING for you to sort of " get passed Cinderella"....it was a beautiful dress, your series on the making of was beautiful, your finished version was as breathtaking as the original....but it seemed like you were milking it for a LONG time. Excited to see this one unfold.
Edit: ok, the skirt is not circles, but the Fibonacci spiral also makes sense...even for the bodice...so they started with that in the skirt and repeated it in the bodice. That's what I get for commenting mid video. Cary on
Haha, yup! But just be forewarned, I won't ever be getting passed the Cinderella dress... I put a piece of my heart into that dress. (But I do get what you're saying, though just for perspective - a girl's got to make an income and with social media being the main bread winner, I've got to do what I've got to do to keep income coming in (2025 might have to be my last year if things don't pick up.)
It looks cool. I do know that Casey Rene Cosplay did a replica of the broadway version. This looks very different from the broadway version. It reminds me more of Wizard of Oz than Wicked.
I think technically this is cosplay and recreation, cosplay doesn't have to just be anime!!! I am definitely currious how many definitions there are and also what her answer is 😊
No, I haven't. And I would say cosplay is recreations but the next level of really trying to embody the character (which I kinda do, but prefer just the making of the dress part!) But no, I've never entered a contest or gone to cosplay event.
Lol this is me too but i made my own the color is inspired in the movie buf the design i made was similar in the Broadway my version is Glinda's Rose dress and her wand was a rose
@@BellaMaesDesigns well, obviously i am still watching the video ehehe soo - i'm not going to watch wicked, i guess. this movie has such a bad vibe for me, somehow (like adultery, and uproars about fan art erasing people and such) and generally i find myself really icky about movies with so many bad headlines during the pre-release, but i was VERY excited to see that you loved that dress, too! it's so gorgeous, and i'm looking forward to seeing you make it!
Kinda, but flounces aren't really spirals, they're technically circle cut. And I think it more has to do with the exponential growth of the panel from wide to thin at the top.
I am excited for the upcoming videos. Your in depth reproductions are always so interesting to watch.
So happy to have you along for the ride!
I cannot sew, not even hold a needle without sting myself. All the more I love watching your artful work with so much attention to detail! Thank you! 💖
Aww! That's so fun to hear (not the stinging yourself with needles!) but enjoying my videos! 🙃

Oh, that's interesting!! Thanks for sharing!
Here we go again 🤣. Just Bella popping out with another very simple design to recreate 😂🥰.
😅😅😅😅
My gosh my hands hurt just looking at all that embellishments. 😂 good luck to you making this one.
Yaaaa......😅
Bella Mae chalenge not reproducing a new movie dress: Level Impossible Bella never back down XDXD
Bahahahaha!!! You know me too well! 🙃
Wow, seing how cosplayers need to put so much hard work into figuring out, how these complicated dresses are constructed makes me appreciate them even more. ❤😊
At first it's just a dress...then it becomes a deep investigation! And yes! Makes me appreciate costumes even more!

Aww, thank you! 💖 And hope this new project delivers the same as the Cinderella dress (but let's honest, it won't beat it!)
It looks more of an inverted rose dress than bubble
Oh, that’s true!
Is it just me or does the back of the original dress looks a bit wonky?
I think the name is referring to Glinda being inside a bubble when Dorothy first meets her in “Wizard of Oz”.
I think they look like the petals on some of our roses as well.😊🌹
The motif is full of bubbles, so it's more about the theme of the dress than the shape.
Billie Burke's dress to me is iconic as Glinda the good....
I love you glinda dress and wicked dress is happy ha ha! You know it to be. ❤😊

You are soooo talented, love your videos
Aw, thanks!
This is such an exciting project! I look forward to watching all of the videos in which you create this masterpiece. ✨️✨️🩷💝
Yay!! Glad to have you along for the journey!
Another excellent video Bella! I feel like you have raised your video editing skills even more as well.

Oh thanks!! This editing took so long, but i've implemented all I've learn in the past years and I'm glad to hear it's noticed! 💖 And.....same! 😅
So fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to share this information with us!
Absolutely! Love sharing about details!!

Ohhh, that could be! I wondered it that how they did the seams (with adhesive) but didn't think about a heat type!! Thanks for sharing!
Just looks like shiny nonsense to me, thanks for sharing your vision of the dress so we can all get excited about it together
Those craft irons are awesome! I think they're called Clover irons.
Oh nice, that’s good to know!
@@BellaMaesDesignsI have one, they are indeed called Clover irons. 😊
A very forensic brake down of the dress. This just goes to show that you are indeed a genius.
Maybe save the genius until I actually make the dress! 😅😅

I thought the Cinderella dress was hard , but after seeing this gown , i wish you good luck in making it , i cant wait to see how it goes😊
Haha! Thanks! 😅
I would love to make this dress. I have been dreaming about it.
I was hoping do this dress plus sell pattern in future. I seen so many creators make this dress, I want go check out movie.
The yellow crystals definitely seem to be Topaz AB because they have a hint of pink from certain angles but since that row is all being viewed from the same angle they will obviously read as completely yellow, the top of the bodice near the edge of the bust seems to be classic AB to match with the overall ombré effect

OHHH, that's amazing!! But don't let him see this video or he'll see all the areas I went wrong one... ha! 😅 😅 😅
I am also in love with this dress and I am going to make it for my daughter
Amazing!!! A mini version of this would be so adorable!
I’m almost finished I’m using about 80 yards of silk
I believe it!!
It's a very pretty dress.
Couple of things I noted. There are horse hair cones inserted in some of the curls. There seems to be a darker organza sandwiched at that lower portion of the skirt.

And not so much a tiara as a kokoshnik headpiece
It gives me headache when i have to analyse it 😢
Yaaa, I get that!
So, you have layers, a basic chemise with panels atop.
Fibonacci? hogwash, that's just a pretentious way of describing a flounce. It's a spiral, that's all.
Kinda, but flounces aren't really spirals, they're technically circle cut. And I think it more has to do with the exponential growth of the panel from wide to thin at the top.
This is everything I could have hoped for, aaaahhhhh! 💖🫧
