This is the video I needed! Thank you! I need to bring it in or grade the size 2 to a size 0 and reduce the cup size to an A. I do not own a dress form yet so thank you for trying it on! I'm going to show my mom this video so she can pin it on me :)
Hey😊 so i have very tan olive skin with brown hair and amber/Green/hazel eyes and i found that harsh vibrant colours and pastLs dont suit me and only colours like brown and dark green and dark red and cream beige suit me so yeah. What colours should i wear because other colours dont suit me but my whole closet is full of them
I have olive tone skin but not sure what I’m undertone is. I think I look good in royal blues and plum colors….i know I definitely do not look good in pastels or army green. Good video!
eliascouture.com/pattern-instructions here is the link to my website pattern instructions it shows each layer as you put it together and the pattern is also on my website. Thank you for your comment. I hope you make yours.
@@susaneliascouture I have 3 things distracting me from sewing. Space, I'm still working on that. I have so much stuff too organize. Beads and all. I came up with an idea last night that would work for sIace. I want to make enough for a dress form. The garden has my attention for sure. Thank goodness most of the garden is within 64ft. X 36ft. I will check out the pattern.
I invite you to be apart of my RU-vid support group. Please email me at eliascouture@gmail.com and I’ll give you a free one time access. This will keep you motivated.
Um medium olive skin tone and i was thought that im dark autamn because my dark brown eyes and olive skin but mustard yellow and muted green and even the tomato red brown dont look good on and i was wondering why so now i know that i have to avoid green yellow orange and go for more bluer based colors like cool red deep purples navy are better than warm colora for me ❤
I think it’s okay to break the rules every once in a while, but it’s nice to test what looks best, just to know when to pull off the best one! Also really surprised that olives stay away from greens because technically green can make something redder, like a gray square inside a green square looks redder as opposed to inside a purple square or orange square.
I’m an olive skin tone with a warm undertone. I don’t usually wear blue because I don’t really like it. I do like purple! I will try out some more blues in my wardrobe.
Send me an email and I will give you a one-time access this Monday June 3rd zoom RU-vid mbers meeting. It's a support group for all things with my undivided attention to this small group. See you soon
Holy crap. I’ve spent three days watching videos on how to assemble this type of collar- thank you so much for this perfect demonstration! I really appreciate your analysis of the muslin and the detailed construction. Beautiful jacket
I followed the Helen Armstrong's book to learn pattern drafting and the slopers never fit well. I've always wondered why, if it was something wrong with me. Apparently other people have the same problems with the book i heard.
i'm olive skin too. I believe jewel tone colors look best on me. royal blue, royal purple, deep wine colors, reds, pure white, definitely black, maybe deeper gray colors, I definitely stay away from yellows and greens I probably would not wear. pastel colors would be to light for me, but if it were a deeper pink, maybe like a magenta I may be able to wear that. Any color that was muted like the browns especially tan would not look good at all on me. I also like navy too. I was 25 when I first got my makeup done at macys by the makeuo brand Lancome. they evaluated my skin and told me that I was a neutral. i did not fit entirely in the warm category or the cool category. Apparently I was a combination of both, which I could not understand because I thought one had to be either warm toned or cool toned, but not both. Since then the categories that are available where a person can fit in has increased since I was 25.
@@susaneliascouture I deffinately do. Even if it review for me or just conformation I'm doing ok. I'm especally inspired by the handmade haute couture info you gave. I'm 100% in my garden at this time of the year with a few rain breaks. My eyes are set on future sewing.
Hello dear, I saw on an online page some videos on reductions made based on knit stretch. Can you explain how we can draw a torso sloper for all knit stretches (I think that's done for one size). And, plz is the purpose is to cut fabric accordingly?
Download it within the time period 24 hours and add it to a zip drive. Go to office Depot and make sure they print it on 24" wide paper at 100% scale. Make sure to measure the measuring box to assure that the pattern was printed correctly. Tell them also to print it as a blue print in black only to save money! I hope that helps:).
@@susaneliascouture Thank you for your reply. At Office Depot they told me they are not going to have 24" width paper anymore and they had to print it on 36". That just may be the Office Depot in my city though. I look forward to using the pattern!!
Hi! I have just purchased a very old framed Chinese embroidery. It is behind , the glass panel. However, the framing matt and the board the silk embroidery was mounted are probably not acid free. They are brown...it is affecting the beautiful silk embroidery...what should I do?
